Tile Garden Thank You

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

It's going to be a showery, gloomy day here in South Central Pennsylvania today but that's ok because it's football day! I'm also going to try to squeeze in a little stamping time, too!

Yesterday, Kelsey had the day off from work so she invited us out for lunch at a local brewing company that is in her apartment building. It's been awhile since we last ate there. So, we met up and had a nice lunch then hit a local antique store. I found a favorite ceramic Christmas tree that was reasonably priced and she ended up going home with me! Like I needed another ceramic tree, right? This is #14 of this style Holland Mold. Meanwhile, Kelsey found a set of vintage ceramic kissing Santa & Mrs. Claus figures that she snagged. She has the cutest white hutch that she decorates with Santa's for Christmas. She was thrilled to find them! I can't wait to see her place decorated for the holidays! She has it decorated now for Halloween and it looks so nice! I'm hoping she gets her decorating skills from her mama! LOL

I have a pretty card to share with you today that uses the Tile Garden stamp set from the 2026 Stampin Up! Holiday Catalog and the Scalloped Blooms stamp set that carried over. 

I used the sketch from Really Robin Stamps for this card. I love how simple it is and how it displays 2 different patterns of the paper!

Card Details:

Stamps: Scalloped Blooms, Tile Garden

Ink: Hydrangea Hue, Old Olive, Crisp Cantaloupe

Cardstock: Hydrangea Hue, Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic White, Mosaic Garden DSP

Accessories: Hydrangea Hue Ribbon, Hydrangea Hue In Color Dots, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I am always in need of Thank You cards and I really wanted to play with the Mosaic Garden suite. Have you seen the Tile Garden Dies that are in this suite? They are pretty cool and are just like the Spotlight on Nature Dies but they are squares instead of circles. I also love the distressed look of the images in the stamp set! 

That is all for me today!

Hope you have something fun planed today!

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

I'm sure by now that you have heard that Stampin Up! has a new catalog on the horizon!

The 2026 Holiday Catalog is amazing with lots of different choices for each holiday. Also the Online Exclusives will also have some new products too so make sure you check out both when they are available on September 1st.

Yesterday I snuck down to my stamp table for a bit while Miss Bailee was napping. I pulled out a brand new bundle called Radiant Sunflowers. A beautiful set of sunflowers and sayings along with coordinating dies to match! Oh, and there is some DSP & Foils that are in the suite as well. It is gorgeous and one you will want!

Anyways, I made a fun card to share with you today with a sketch that a fellow demonstrator shared. Robin Armbrecht showed several versions of how to use the sketch  which I will be trying hopefully soon!

This is the sketch with the measurements.

Here is my card. I flipped the sketch...

Card Details:

Stamps: Scalloped Blooms, Radiant Sunflowers

Ink: Golden Glow, Cajun Craze

Cardstock: Golden Glow, Cajun Craze, Sunflower Fields DSP

Accessories: Scalloped Blooms Dies, Radiant Sunflowers Dies, Golden Glow Ribbon & In Color Dots, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Berry Botanical Vellum Birthday

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

We are still socked into the rainy, dreary weather here in PA.

Yesterday it was just a miserable day. I'm hoping today we can atleast sneak a quick walk in!

My card that I am sharing today is one that I loved making! I used a few of Stampin Up!'s Product of the Month items...

Card Details:

Stamps: Scalloped Blooms

Ink: Blueberry Bushel

Cardstock: Strawberry Slush (In Color), Golden Glow (New In Color), Basic White, Berry Botanical Vellum Specialty DSP (May 2026 Product of the Month)

Accessories: Everyday Arches Dies, Eyelet Blooms Die (April 2026 Product of the Month), Golden Glow Ribbon & In Color Dots (New In Color), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Berry Botanical Vellum is quite pretty and I am trying to find some ways to use it. I think it feels thicker or heavier than normal vellum is. I seen so many great cards made with it so far! I hope some inspiration rubs off on me! LOL
