Welcome to our monthly Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This month, we have a fun challenge: we are all making cards based on the same sketch. I find sketches very helpful when I need some inspiration or a fresh idea.
A sketch gives you a starting point and a layout to follow.
I chose to use the Two Tone Flora stamp set from the Annual Catalog. This set has beautiful flowers that look very realistic with the two step stamping technique. My color scheme was inspired by the Delightful Floral Designer Series Paper. This paper is a special release that came out this month. I love the vibrant colors and patterns in this paper.
I hope I have inspired you to give this sketch a try.
Please hop on to the next blog for more inspiration.
Happy Stamping!

I haven’t made a Waterfall card in ages. It’s such a fun and enjoyable activity! This cute card brings me joy. A waterfall card has four embellished squares that, when the tab is pulled, it flips up to show the next picture. People adore cards with dynamic elements and this one has an extra feature: your message or another picture is uncovered as you pull down the tab. A card with motion AND a hidden message is unique.
You’ll be clucking with delight over the Hey Chuck waterfall card! These whimsical hens and hilarious sayings are ideal for a waterfall card.
I’m eager to find out what the others have made. The cards will surely be extraordinary and original. Hop on to my friends & discover more waterfall cards!

I always look forward to Technique Tuesday! It’s so fun to discover new ways of making cards, from different folds to amazing tips and tricks. This week, we are all about Fun Folds. Who doesn’t love a card that surprises you with its shape?
I made a card using a fold that I had never tried before, called a Double Box Fun Fold.
My husband and I are avid travelers, so the Next Destination stamp set was a must-have for me. This set is perfect for making cards for our loved ones who share our wanderlust.
These travel images have such a classy vibe. I’m excited to create a vintage card with them next.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop. Our theme for today is Partial Die Cut cards.
I was a bit nervous about this challenge at first. But then I discovered how fun and easy partial die cutting can be. This weekend you will find me making more cards with this technique! Isn’t it amazing how a challenge can spark new inspiration?
For this card, I used the Irresistible Blooms bundle and the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. I chose one simple blossom for my first attempt at partial die cutting. After stamping and die cutting the flower I used Stamin’ Blends for coloring and added some Wink of Stella for shine. Sprinkling a few Tinsel Gems added sparkle and interest to the card front. Tinsel Gems are my new favorite embellishment.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I’m excited to see what the other stampers have created. Don’t forget to hop along and check out their beautiful projects.

The Stamptastic Friends Team is sharing masculine cards today. I am sure that I get comments every day about how hard it is to create cards for the guys in our life. It should not be that hard!
When I saw Gone Fishing I knew I had to have it….then this happened: I was struggling with coming up with ideas for the Gone Fishing set. I finally caved in a CASED the catalog! Casing the catalog or cards from Pinterest almost always helps me get kickstarted. Don’t feel bad if you must do this. It is fine.
I love this card, but it is a tad fussy and not one I would make over and over. Definitely a card for someone special.
Luckily I had a few left-over fish and I created this much simpler card:
So much easier, yet just as appropriate for a man who likes fishing or outdoor sports.
I am looking forward to more inspiration from my stamping friends. Be sure to click on to the next blog and gather all the ideas – and feel free to case them!
