Good Monday morning stamping friends, welcome to a new week. How was your weekend? I got outside for a little while yesterday, deadheading some of my flowers, picking tomatoes and getting the stakes in my tomato plants. They are really taking off and some of them are very top heavy with tomatoes.

I have a CAS card for you today using a new set from the Online Exclusives. I see myself making a lot of fall cards with this set. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Artistic Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set for my CAS card today.

My design today came from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #694.

Stamp the detailed leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink in the center of a Basic White card front. Stamp the detailed leaf image again in the bottom right and top left corners of the panel going off the page.

Stamp the solid fill leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Darling Duckling Ink over the center detailed leaf. Stamp the solid fill leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink over the 2 detailed corner leaf images. Stamp the splatter image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set randomly around the leaf in Night of Navy Ink. Adhere the Basic White card front to a Granny Apple Green mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the Night of Navy card base with Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the detailed leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Stamp the solid leaf image in Darling Duckling Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed leaf image. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Granny Apple Green mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the detailed leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the envelope front and flap. Stamp the solid leaf image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Lemon Lime Twist Ink over the detailed leaf image on the envelope front. Stamp the solid leaf image in darling Duckling Ink over the detailed leaf images on the envelope flap. Stamp the splatter image from the Artistic Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy Ink randomly round the leaves.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Together Let’s Raise Some Money for the Floods in Texas from July 4th

We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the flooding of the Guadalupe River in Texas on July 4th.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  I’m coming to you for HELP! So…I’m going to do a fundraiser that’ll start right now.  I’ve selected Mercury One as the recipient of our donation. 

Mercury One is a 501(c)(3) charity that was founded in 2011 by media personality, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck. It was created to inspire the world in the same way the United States’ space program shaped America’s national destiny by setting a goal and committing to reach it against all odds. The only limitations to achievement are those we place on ourselves, and we believe in the goodness and power of the individual to overcome any obstacle.

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $500– I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $500 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1. – Shop Online:

• For any orders placed through my Online Store between now and Saturday July 19,2025, I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Mercury One for Texas Hill County Flood Victims.

  • Anyone ordering $50+ (before tax & shipping) will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to give away on July 20th.

OR…

2. – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Mercury One at this LINK

OR…

3. – Do Both!!

• If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! Online Store AND donate at least $50 directly to Mercury One, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses.  Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
