Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you. Today I have another great card using the Masterfully Made designer series paper from Stampin’Up! When the paper packs such a punch, you don’t need much to make a stunning card. I used the dies from Timeless Arrangements to make a beautiful focal point. There is one thing that I did with this card that might surprise you!! Read on.
What’s Different?
If you look closely at my sentiment, you might see something different. I will include a closeup photo, maybe that will help!
Instead of stamping my sentiment on regular white cardstock, I stepped it up a notch and added a foam adhesive sheet. This makes the stitching from the die more prominent, it right away pops the whole thing up AND it now has a “sticker” back so that all the die cuts can be quickly and simply adhered. You can watch the card making tutorial on my YouTube channel. I will add it here too. Have you subscribed yet??

Hello stampers! Do you love surprises? If you buy this bundle you will definitely get one or two. There are dies in the Lighting the Way bundle that are not shown on the stamp set. First there is a large lantern die and then there is a large dragonfly die in three parts so that you can customize your dragonflies! There are three little embossed dragonflies and two open dies to cut out your stamped dragonfies. Dragonfly heaven!
A Jackie Original and some CASEd Cards
The card above is a “Jackie original” but the other two that I will be featuring are the genius work of other demonstrators that I have CASEd (copy and share everything).
The card on the far left was CASEd from Yvonne Spikmans and the card in the middle was from Natasa Steinke.
The sentiment on this card is from the saleabration set Sending Support. I die cut the lantern also in vellum and the little pieces for the “glass” in the lantern are the vellum pieces to give it a softer look.

Hello stampers and happy Monday to you. Love Cats is a fun and simple stamp set that just makes you smile, especially if you are a cat lover. My daughter Rachel has a white and black cat and her boyfriend Lushaun has a black and white cat. This stamp set reminded me of those fun felines. I made some simple Valentine’s cards using the Love Cats stamp set.
Love Cats Simple Valentine’s Cards
My go to product in the annual catalog is the assorted Memories & More cards and envelopes. They come with twenty cards and envelopes in a pack, ten large and ten small. The large ones are 4 1/4″ by 6 1/4″ and the idea is that you can use them with our 4″ by 6″ Memories a& More cards for a quick and easy card. I love using them just for their convenience and size. The small cards are 3 1/4″ by 4 1/4″ and they are great for the smaller 3″ by 4″ Memories & More cards. I find this smaller size great for a quick and easy card to pop in with some flowers or in a gift bag. They ARE big enough to go in the regular mail as well.

Love Cats Video Tutorial on Tuesday

You won’t be able to watch it right now (Monday) but I hope you join me tomorrow!! YouTube really is the best place to find the videos you are searching for, so I hope you take the time to subscribe to my channel.

Did you know that Stampin’Up! has added some new saleabration freebie choices? My favourite is free with a $120 purchase. Guess what it is? The Eden’s Garden bundle!!! That’s right, you get a bundle for free. A stamp set and dies. This has NEVER happened before, so be sure to get this great set free as well.

Thanks for joining me today, I hope you have a super day.
Hello stampers and happy Friday to you. I made these Valentine’s cards for my Global Monthly video hop. My lovely friend Berdien Weideveld shared this card for the Artisan Team and I loved it so much that I just had to recreate it. Berdien has a great Instagram profile that you can find here, and then you can follow here there!
Country Floral Lane Valentine’s Card
Red is one of my favourite colours and one of my next favourite things is gingham. Add in a little texture, some green leaves and some scallops and I’m sold!!
I stamped my sentiments in Versamark on Mossy Meadow and embossed in white. It can be so time consuming to find out where the sentiments came from on a card! Usually I have the complete list of products under my blog but I forgot to include this one. It’s the new Happy Labels 160685 in case you wanted to know. It also comes in a bundle with an amazing punch which you can find here. The white floral die cut behind the hearts is from Penned Flowers dies. My background is embossed with the Quatrefoil embossing folder.
Great Time Saving Product
Do you know what one of my favourite time saving products is? The assorted Memories & More cards and envelopes. The large ones measure 6 1/4″ by 4 1/4″ and the small ones are 3 1/4″ by 4 1/4″. I use them almost every day. The Valentine’s cards today use the large ones.

Happy shopping my friends! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day.
Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you. Today I am sharing the Flowering Rain Boots that make me smile. The sun has decided to shine gloriously this afternoon and that also makes my heart happy. Let’s take a look at this cheerful bundle.
Flowering Rain Boots
There is something whimsical about a bunch of tulips or daisy in a pair of old rain boots isn’t there? I might be a little strange, but just looking at a colourful pair of “Wellies” makes me smile. My grandkids love my tall red rainboots. I think they think it is funny that a grownup can have rainboots too. My friend Yvonne told me today that in Britain they all rainboots “wellies” because the Duke of Wellington used to wear them a lot. I never knew that!
Here is a closer view of the card that I made in this morning’s Stamping Through My Stash video on YouTube.
Video Tutorial
Here is the video tutorial for making this card as well as a small Memories & More card. You will learn some great colouring tips for the saying and for the tulips.
Memories & More Cards
I always make sure that I have at least one package of Memories & More cards on hand. They are wonderful for making a quick and easy card. Your card base and envelope are all ready to go and that can make all the difference between making and sending a card at the last minute or not!
Do you see those little black flecks in the background? You make those by flicking the tip of your Blends marker against the inside of the lid. Be sure to use the brush tip!
Two More Cards Exclusively for Prime Time
Each week I do an exclusive video for my Prime Time group. This group has been with me since COVID began and they pay $10 a month. It’s actually a steal of a deal because included in this fee are four video tutorials, one prize drawing AND a free 16 project pdf tutorial. What are you waiting for? Click here to join!

I just made this card in my Prime Time group and I changed the boots to Bumblebee and added a little pop of red ribbon from the Playful Pets Trim Combo. I LOVE it!!

Hello stampers and happy Friday…actually, almost Happy New Year!! Today I want to show you a way to save your sanity. We can put so much pressure on ourselves to create beautifully stunning and intricate cards. While that can be a fun challenge and very rewarding, this is a gentle reminder to also enjoy easy simplicity once in a while. Yesterday I was feeling overwhelmed and a bit stressed and these simple cards brought me joy and peace.
Save Your Sanity with Some Simple Cards
I have always loved words. Words are very important and convey so much meaning and feeling, so choosing the right ones for your card is a big deal. Especially when the card is simple and the focus is mainly on the words and on the paper you want to make sure that your words are the right font, the right size and the. right thoughts! My cards use In The Moment for the images and Flowering Tulips for the words. The gorgeous paper is Expressions in Ink.
Here is a little video telling you the story of how these cards came about.
My last card is not shown in this picture because I make it at the end of the video. Curious? Be sure to watch AND subscribe. I am aiming for 4100 subscribers and to help make that happen I am doing a draw for the Poinsettia Petals bundle. All you need to do to enter is to subscribe to my channel, comment on your favourite video and share one to social media such as Facebook.
Simple Cards Bring Joy
These cards brought me joy yesterday and today as I see them laying on my desk they are bringing me more joy. I am going to offer a class where we can make these cards. People can choose their own colour scheme and stamps. It will be so much fun to see what they come up with!
Here is a closeup of one of the cards so you can see just how gorgeous this paper is and how well it combines with these stamp sets, In the Moment and Flowering Tulips.
Sometimes cards look a little different seen from another angle, so here they are against the backdrop of our fabulous Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. If you don’t have this beauty yet, January is your month! You can put it in a starter kit and pay no tax or shipping AND get to pick two bonus stamp sets to put into your kit. Perhaps you could choose the two I have used today!! How much fun is that??
Prime Time Group
Did you know that I have a private Facebook group called Prime Time With The Pampered Stamper? Each Wednesday I post the supply list and measurements and on Thursday I do an exclusive video. Once a month there is a prize drawing and each month there is a free 15 project pdf tutorial for this group. It costs only $10 a month to join. If you are interested, just click here.
This is the card we made yesterday, another exercise is simplicity and beauty. Next week will do something a lot more challenging.
More Happy Mail Next Week
Next week I will share some more happy mail in Holland cards including a gorgeous hand painted one from my cousin. I hope that you have a fun celebration today and a very happy and blessed New Year. Thanks for joining me on my stamping journey. I’m so glad you’re here.
