CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Outgoing In-Colors

 Good Morning, Stampers!


The Create with Stampin' Friends is saying good-bye
to the 2023-2025 In-Colors this week with some fun designs
to celebrate all the pretty colors one last time. 


This was such a fun color group. It was hard to pick just
one, so I combined them all! When used together
I gave me a bit of a retro vibe, so it was perfect for the NEW 
Along These Lines stamp set coming in May! You can
pair any of the images from this set with a simple
sentiment - like the Simply Said stamp set and they
all work so well together!
SU!pplies:
Stamps:
Along These Lines, Simply said
Ink: Pebbled Path
Paper: Basic White, Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Boho Blue, Moody Mauve
Accessories: Mini Corrugated embossing folder, Gray Granite LIGHT Stampin' Blends

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Thanks for joining me for this week's rubberFUNatics 
Weekly Challenge! I have a simple and elegant sketch
today that I hope you'll try for yourself!


The sentiment I used for this card is called Layered Thoughts
and will be available in the upcoming Annual
Catalog coming in May. It's a sentiment stamp set
that features both large and small fonts so you can
mix and match the sayings any way you'd like! 
I paired it with the Layers of Beauty stamp set and I just love how
simple and elegant they are together! 


SU!pplies:

Layered Thoughts, Layers of Beauty
Ink: Tuxedo Black
Paper: Basic White, Basic Black
Accessories: Black Gltter gems

I hope you'll give this week's sketch a try!

inside all the Easter baskets this year!

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Miss the Most

 Good Morning, Stampers!


It's that time of the year! We are getting ready to say
"good-bye" to some of our favorites to make room for
NEW products, so the Create with Stampin' Friends team
is sharing some of the products we are going to miss the
most from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.


This one is a tough one for me -  I love the Happiest
Day stamp set! My favorite is the sentiment  "Wishing
you the happiest birthday" - it is my go-to sentiment
for the inside of all my birthday cards! All those sweet
little images: the dragonfly, starbursts and rainbows
are so fun to create with, too!

SU!pplies:
Stamps:
Happiest Day
Ink: Craft White, Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon. Pretty Peacock
Paper: Basic White, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Linen Thread, Blooming Pearls, Nested Essentials dies
