How in the world did I miss March? It was easy….we bought a new home, sold our previous home, packed up and drove from Georgia to Colorado during a pandemic.
Interesting and strange time for our family. I think we have just about settled in at our new home and we seem to know where most of our stuff is in the cabinets. Such a struggle!
I have been stamping and sewing masks and just trying to get through each day feeling somewhat productive. How about you? How are you dealing with the virus? Crafting is what keeps me sane.
The weekend before we moved, I held a one-day retreat with two other demonstrators. We had a blast sharing Tropical Oasis with our friends.
Below are the projects I shared. We created projects using the Memories & More cards as well as the stamps and dies. I love how the Memories & More cards make quick and easy cards for every occasion.
Thanks for stopping by today. Stay home, wash your hands, & create some crafty memories.
For your shopping convenience I have listed the supplies for these projects at the bottom of this post.

Today I am sharing some ideas with you using the February Pretty Paper Packet. This packet consists of several pieces of Parisian Blossoms DSP, cardstock, foil, embellishments and ribbon.
I want to show you how to use these products without having to purchase the coordinating stamps and dies.
This first card is based on a design from Connie Stewart. So simple and yet very pretty. I promise your friends will be impressed when they receive this card. I made 3 cards using this layout: birthday, thank you, and get well. It would be easy to make several of these at one time and leave off the sentiment. When you need a card, grab this and add the appropriate sentiment. Bam!
My next card is layered designer series paper, add a ribbon and desired sentiment, pop in the mail. Easy peasy.
If you did purchase the coordinating stamp set, you can make some lovely cards using the stamps and dies but I wanted to give you ideas for using your packets in a different way. I hope these ideas will spark your creativity. Please share what you have created with your Pretty Paper Packets. I would love to see your creations.

It is hard to believe that a month has gone by and the Stamptastic Friends are hopping again.
Time flies when you are having stamping fun!
Our theme this month is Samplers. I know you are going to love the variety of styles and samples we have created for you.
The main reason I have been absent from blogging is we are in the process of buying and selling a house. Talk about chaos. It has been a whirlwind of travel and activity.
We finally found a home we both love, and it has a beautiful craft studio for me. I decided to make a sampler to adorn the wall over my desk.
I used the Parisian Blossoms Suite for this 9” x 9” sampler. I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut the DSP pieces. I love the option of shapes and sizes this die set offers.
The Eiffel Tower is die cut from Champagne Foil as is the Fleur-de-lis. I love the way this came out, flirty and fun. Just what I wanted for my new studio.
Now that we are getting our house projects settled, I plan to get back to business! Fingers crossed everything goes well.
Want more inspiration? Make sure to hop on to the nest name on the list. Leave a comment, we enjoy knowing what you think about our creations.

Christina and I are sharing our Honey Bee projects with you today. It is “Bee Happy Sunday!”
I have several friends who raise honeybees, so I knew I had to have this set.
This set is perfect for those of us who are concerned about honeybees and the environment. It also works for anyone who just want to create a beautiful card!
I created two projects to share with you today.
First up:
This card highlights the designer series paper that you can choose from the Sale-a-bration items. These bees are the cutest thing ever!
Second card:
Shaker cards so much fun. The die from this set makes this card super easy to create.
The key to getting these bees “just right” is the Stamparatus. Look at how easy it is to get every bee perfect!
Click over to Christina and check out her Honey Bee project. I am sure it will be sweet!
Thanks so much for joining us today. Have a Bee Happy Sunday!

Stamptastic Friends are hopping today. We are sharing projects created using products from the Sale-a-bration Catalog. All Sale-a-bration items are FREE with a qualifying order. Love that!
I created two projects using the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and matching dies. I also included Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper. Now you know why I love sale-a-bration time. Free products for making beautiful cards!
My first card:
I struggle with simple cards. I see other crafters make them and I am always envious. I decided to give it a try and I’m very happy with the way it turned out.
The Subtle embossing folder gives the white card front a touch of texture which makes it simple yet elegant.
My second card:
The Designer Series Paper makes this card happy and joyful, which perfectly matches the sentiment.
A little Wink of Stella gives it a sparkly shine. Do you like purple? I do for cards, not so much for my clothes.
Make sure you hop on to Deb C. She always creates lovely cards.
The full blog list is below just in case you get lost.

Today’s card uses the Honey Bee set. I have been trying to find time to play with this set and finally got to it today.
Cute images and sweet sentiments. Combine these elements and you have a honey of a card!
I thought the little flowers resembled thistles, so I used Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape as my starting colors.
Of course, I had to use yellow for the honey. I chose Mango Melody. Nice and bright!
The card front is embossed with the Subtle folder to give it a little texture. I love the way this turned out!
