Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Wednesday! I have a quick share for you today featuring the Fluttering Fall Stamp, Stencil and Die Bundle by Gina K. Designs. This is one of those bundles that I purchased last year and tucked away, intending to use for Autumn cards, then forgot about it! It's a shame, I know, however I came across this lovely set today and had a play.

Tune In for a Happy Birthday!
Happy Saturday/Crafturday Friends! I hope you have something exciting planned this weekend, me? I'm going to beat the heat by having some crafty time in the air conditioning.
Today I have a quick share for you featuring one of Stampin' Up's newest sets - Tune In. I was immediately attracted to the Retro style of the set. Who can remember having a Television Set like this, no Remote, unless you consider the kids the remote.

Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Jul/Aug 2024
Hello and Happy Monday! I hope everyone is doing well and surviving this terrible heatwave. If you were affected by Hurricane Beryl, please know I'm holding you and yours up in prayer.
It's time for a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog. Our optional inspirational mood board this month has a bit of a tropical twist; so appropriate for this time of year.
I have a hibiscus background stamp I was going to use for my project, but my sweet friend Varada Sharma of Varada Sharma Designs sent me this gorgeous digi stamp titled "Enchanted Blooms" and I just had to use it.

Stampin' Pretty PALS Blog Hop - July 2024
Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by! Today is the Stampin' Pretty PALS Blog Hop and our theme is: My Favorites from the Catalog.
I had a difficult time deciding which new Stampin' Up set to use for this hop, I have quite a few favorites from the new 2024 Catalog. I've decided to showcase the new "Magnolia Mood" set, along with designer series papers from the Nature's Sweetness 12x12 paper pack.
For my card, I've used the Magnolia Mood Bundle, which includes the stamp set and coordinating dies. I love the details of the stamped images, they have a vintage vibe to me, and of course I adore Magnolias.
There’s more inspiration to show you, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Please mark your calendars for the blog hop next month (August 14th), when our theme will be My Summer Vacation. You can find the list of products I've used today, complete with item numbers, at the end of this post.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
