Let’s Celebrate
May 31, 2026Hi there! Today I’m sharing a cute, little celebration card featuring several of the fable critter dies. I used the Fable Elephant, Giraffe, Bear & Mouse dies. I blended a subtle rosy cheek on each and also used the Cap and Gown die set to add a graduation cap to the elephant & bear.
For the background I trimmed some solid colored cardstock to make a happy rainbow burst. I didn’t use a die or anything for that. I just kinda eyeballed it and hoped for the best:) I did use an hill die for the ground. For sentiment I used the CZ Big Old Birthday set.
If you took off the grad caps this could be a cute birthday card, too!

Always There Release Blog Hop
May 29, 2026
Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Always There Release Blog Hop!
I have two cards to share using several stamp & die sets from the new release. My first card features the Willoweave die on the background. I added a frame using the A2 Notched Rectangles dies.
For the bloom I used the new Luna Flower die and for the sentiment I used the CZ Inside Greetings 1 stamp & die set. For the bloom, I die cut with Apricot cardstock and blended a little Mandarin ink on the petals.
My second card features another frame using the A2 Notched Rectangles dies.
For the die cuts I used the Dewpierce Butterfly & Sunblush Flowers. For the sentiment I used the CZ Classic Friendship stamp & die set.
Follow along the hop for more amazing inspiration!

The Greetery-Hey Honey, It’s Summer!
May 28, 2026Hi there! Today I’m joining The Greetery to introduce a new mini release called Hey Honey, It’s Summer!
This is such a cute, little release filled with some new additions to the Hey Honeycomb series.
For my first project I used the Making Waves Stencil & Die with Bluebell & Capri ink. I used Hey Honeycomb Crab Die with Poppy & Cranberry cardstock and added a honeycomb from the Honeycomb Balls Tricolor Tropics. For the sentiment I used the Hey Honeycomb Summer Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut it using the Happy Submarine Die.
This next card features the Hey Honeycomb Seahorse Die with another honeycomb from the Honeycomb Balls Tricolor Tropics set. For the background I used the Making Waves Embossing Folder with Sea Glass cardstock and blended Juniper ink around the edges.
I embossed another sentiment from the Hey Honeycomb Summer Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut it using the Happy Submarine Die.
Here is a video showing how I created these projects.

May 27, 2026Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects showcasing the fun, new Always There Release by Simon Says Stamp.
My first card features the Sparkler Scallop Frames on the background and the Dewpierce Tiny Butterflies for the focal. I added some new Baby’s Breath Embellishments and for the sentiment I used the Reverse Traditional Wedding EZ Strips.
For my second card I used the Sparkler Scallop Frames again on the background. I also dry embossed the white panel using the Petal Lattice stencil.

What’s Poppin’?
May 27, 2026Hi there! The other day I shared this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring some fun products from the recent June card kit. The card kit sold out so fast, but many of the individual components are available, including the ones I used here.
I loved doing a rainbow with the Bunting die. I did an overflowing 3D Popcorn Box and added a sentiment using the Having Fun stamp set.

Graduation Cards
May 21, 2026Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of graduation cards that I made last weekend. My daughter always requests custom cards with the names on them so this is what I came up with.
I had the recent Greetery products nearby so they were first to grab. On the background I used the Capsule Star Studded Borders dies, Capsule Basics dies & Capsule Party Scene dies. To customize the names I used the Caps Bold Alphabet dies and for the congrats I used the Let’s Have a Word: Congrats die.
On the inside of the card I used the World’s Greatest die for the trophy pocket. I added the “for you” sentiment from the Big Yay set.
Of Course a shaker is always a fun touch so I filled it with the Starshine Embellishment Mix.
Here was my daughter’s reaction: “Okay Mom, you went above and beyond on these and I love it!”
I’ll take that as a win!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Geometric Star
May 20, 2026Hi there! Yesterday I shared this fun, geometric blended star project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog.
Below was my inspiration. I believe this pattern is called sawtooth star. I’ve never quilted before, but this pattern and color combination is gorgeous!
You can check out the video of my card HERE. Thanks so much for stopping by!
