THINKING HUMMINGBIRDS
Hi there. I’m thinking about hummingbirds today. Just to add a little colour to all of the white that is sitting in our yard right now, lol. And doesn’t that little hummingbird look beautiful sitting on all of that white?! I had fun colouring this little beauty from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set(162815) and decided […]
HELLO FROM THE BIRDHOUSE
Hello from the birdhouse! I’m still playing with birds and flowers. This time with the Country Birdhouse Bundle(163401) and those tiny yellow flowers are from the Hooray for Surprises stamp set(162851) and matching Hooray for Surprises Dies(162857). The birdhouse was cut from the Country Woods designer series paper(163393) with accents of Pretty in Pink and […]
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE TEXTURE
Well hello and welcome to Wednesday, commonly called “hump day”. Today’s card features some bold texture with pops of colour. It’s hard to see on the black, but I used the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder(162189) for a stand-out background. The flowers are from and oldie but goody, the Textured Floral stamp set(161229) and matching […]
TOADSTOOLS ALL AROUND

I’m also going with a monochromatic layout with the Pecan Pie […]
HOW ABOUT SOME PUMPKIN PIE
Well, pumpkin pie is certainly on the menu, I’m talking about a Stampin’ Up! cardstock colour. There, like the card base for this zinnia card. I used the Simply Zinnia Bundle(163480) and made good use of the dies to create these pretty pumpkin pie flowers as well as the Zinnia 3D Embossing folder(163337). I’m playing […]
A LITTLE CASING GOING ON
Happy Tuesday and Welcome! Today’s card is Cased from page 34 of the 2024 Sept-Dec Mini Catalogue. Now, a Case means that you can copy the project exactly – OR – you can use any of the elements such as the layout. That is what I did with this card, I loved the layout and […]
FANCY FALL
Well, Fall came quickly and there is no doubt that it is here, so I took this picture of a stand of Poplar trees in our yard. It seems like they turned overnight, but they sure are pretty and gave me inspiration for today’s card. There, we have that beautiful yellow and orange and our […]
