It’s that time of month for Karen Hallam in California and myself here in Pennsylvania to create cross-country. I’m very happy that we’re continuing this fun collaboration in 2026 that we started back in 2019. It not only provides us with a fun creative outlet but also fosters the friendship that was formed through this hobby despite the distance between us. And for that I’m very grateful!

We’re starting East to West this month with a Valentine’s theme and here’s my card…

Cute As Can Bee Valentine Card

Comments: 15

We had a very snowy weekend, which meant lots of time to craft. I spent the majority of my time organizing my patterned paper. And in doing this, I discovered so much wonderful paper that’s been long forgotten. One of those collections was SU’s Cute as Can Bee Designer Series Paper. So I just had to sit down and create this cute Valentine card…

Those sweet little bees are fussy cut from the DSP.

My inspiration came from the current sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps Weekly Challenge HERE

Mystery Monday – Valentine Corner Flip Card

, , , , , , ,
Comments: 4

Now that the Holidays are over and put away, it’s time to move onto Valentine’s Day. This is a favorite holiday to create cards for. It just conjures up memories of sharing cards as a child in elementary school, then when my children shared them with their classmates and now as I watch my grandsons do the same. I’ve always sent Valentine’s cards to relatives and surprisingly receive quite a few.

Today’s card is my Mystery Monday Fun Fold entry. The fun is called a Corner Flip Card. As usual for the Mystery Monday challenge, you can find all the directions and details on Jeanie Stark’s blog HERE.

This card is a mash up of mostly retired Stampin’ Up! product that was a lot of fun to put together. Here’s a breakdown of the products:

Cardstock: White, Flirty Flamingo, Powder Pink

Stamps: Country Bouquet (front sentiment), Suite Sayings (inside sentiment) and Corner in Bloom (heat embossed on the inside)

Dies: Be Mine (hearts on front), MFT Bitty Strips (front sentiment)

DSP: All My Love, White and Pink Glitter paper from stash (for hearts)

And a peek inside….

It’s a cold and snowy day here in PA so creating sweet Valentine’s Day cards is the perfect way to spend it. I hope you’re enjoying your day as well!

Sledding with a Winter Bunny – FMS #718

Comments: 6

There’s no snow for sledding around here just now but perhaps we’ll see some soon. Now that I’m retired, I look forward to see some snow in the winter. Although, I worked in an elementary school, so I did enjoy my fair share of snow days (without the sledding!).

I’ve had this cute little Winter Bunny stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn for a very long time, so she came to mind when I saw the sketch for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge. The background is SU’s Let It Snow DSP with a layer of white glitter paper cut from W+9’s Landscape Borders die. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom’s, Winter Hello stamp set.

Here’s a peek at the inside…

The two sentiments on the inside are from SU’s Freezing’ Fun stamp set.

Along with using my trove of stamps, dies and paper, I’m trying to be more intentional about making cards that I will actually send. So this card will be going to my sweet grandsons as soon as I see snow in our forecast. On that note, I have many, many cards that I’ve made through the years that I would like to donate. If you know of any organizations that would benefit from them, please let me know…thank you.

I hope you have a wonderful week…
