Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. It’s starting to warm up a little bit here. It’s still pretty cool for this time of the year. I’m usually planting my flowers and vegetables by now, but the nights are still a little too cool.
Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #227 is Seaside Adventures. I made a Fun Fold Shadow Box card for you. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Bundle and the Scenic Coast 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper for my Fun Fold Shadow Box card today. I was inspired by the overall theme along with the sailboat in the photo for my Clean & Layered Card.
I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 227. How are you inspired by the photos?
Wrap a piece of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine around the scored end 2 times. Thread the baker’s twine through a Loose Anchor Trinket and tie a knot. Adhere the scored end to the back of the card base.
Adhere a pane of Scenic Coast DSP to the front of the card base. Using the Sunset Coast Dies, cut the center of the scored Night of Navy panel. Stamp the bottom of the panel with the water image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. HAPPY SPRING! My Crocuses are blooming, my Daffodils are starting to pop up, and I’ve even seen the start of my tulips. Now if the temps here would get a little warmer it would feel like spring too. I have so much yard clean-up to do, but it’s just too cold to go out and do it, plus the ground is still a frozen.
I have a quick masculine card for you today. I always struggle with those cards. There are a couple bundles coming in the new catalog that might just make them a little easier to make. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony Bundle along with the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Framed All Around Stamp Set for my card today.
Adhere a panel of Nature Walk DSP to the front of the Lost Lagoon card base. Adhere a panel of Nature Walk DSP to a Lost Lagoon mat. Adhere the layered panel to the Lost Lagoon card front, adding adhesive only on the back of the left side.
Using the Nature’s Symphony Dies, cut 2 of the large leaf die from panels of Pretty Peacock and Nature Walk DSP. Adhere the leaves to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, over the leaf stems. Add a few Faux Bronze Pentagons to the card front.
Adhere a panel of Nature Walk DSP to the inside back of the Lost Lagoon card base. On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Framed All Around stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink.

Good Snowy Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. We are under blizzard warning conditions here in NJ. So far, we have 15″ and it’s supposed to continue until 6pm tonight. No work today since only plows and emergency vehicles are allowed out. I let my pups out this morning, and they were buried, both of them are only about 20″ when standing on all 4’s. I saw that this is the 1st time in 30 years that we’ve had this bad of a blizzard warning. I thought I’d share this picture of 30 years ago when my son was 6-months old and this was his 1st snowstorm.

Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Pecan Pie card base. Using the Party Banners Dies, cut the panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock. Emboss the banner using the Birch Wood EF, use a sanding block on the banner.

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week and the last Monday of 2025. Another year just about gone and a new one to start in just a few days. How was your weekend? I didn’t do anything that I planned to do. I was going to spend time in my card studio getting some cards made and just enjoying some creative time. That did not happen. I need everyone in my house to go back to work so I can have the house to myself.
I think this bundle and DSP that I used for today’s card has to be my favorite since I find myself using it a lot. I especially love DSP that has script on it. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony Bundle along with the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper for my card today.
Adhere a panel of Nature Walk DSP to a Misty Moonlight card base. Adhere a smaller panel of Nature Walk DSP to the center of the card front.
From a panel of Basic Beige, cut the large leaf die using the Nature’s Symphony Dies. Cut the wood die piece from a panel of Misty Moonlight using the Nature’s Symphony Dies. Cut the leaf die with snips and adhere the pieces to the card front. Adhere the Misty Moonlight wood die piece over the leaf stems.
Stamp the sentiment from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Faux Bronze Pentagons to the card front.
Stamp the sentiment from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the large leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Basic Beige Ink on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the wood grain image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Basic Beige Ink over the sentiment. Ahere the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Misty Moonlight card base.
Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the large leaf image from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set in Basic Beige Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Nature Walk DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and you’ll give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
