Team Cards

 Today I would like to share some cards made by one of my team members. Since I moved from Arizona to Missouri in 2022, we meet online every month for stamp camp.  It's nice to catch up with them but I sure do miss our in-person events.  Maybe someday I can make a trip back for a visit.  In the meantime, our monthly get togethers will have to do.

Kathy was our host for December, and she had a Christmas Open House for everyone.  I used to do that when I held the stamp camps and it's always a fun time.  Here's the cards she designed:

Aren't these beautiful?  Kathy did a one sheet wonder, and everyone went home with all 7 cards. I opted to make all mine birthday cards so that I would have enough on hand when needed.  She used the Floral Charm designer series paper.  Here's a look at this beautiful pack of papers.

All the card bases were made with Mossy Meadow cardstock, and a bit of texture was added on some using the Eyelet embossing folder on Petal Pink cardstock.

We had a great time making these and I hope you enjoy them.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have a great day.

Framed All Around

Hello friends,

Today I am sharing a new soon to be released, Online Exclusives stamp set. Framed All Around is a great set that captures some delicate floral and leaf images, just inside a two-corner frame.  Here's an image of the stamp set and a card I made.

When I first saw this, I thought that the floral designs were especially delicate looking, so I decided right away that I would frame the two corners and add the florals like they were popping off the framed areas. I do not think you could actually make a whole frame because the size would have them overlapping. However, I think it's pretty just the same.

What's even better is that I was able to make 20 of these cards in less than 5 hours, coloring included. How you ask?  We have a new product coming soon called the Stamp Positioner.  It will not be available for purchase until later this year, but you can get one now, absolutely free if you join my Desert Inkspirations team.  More on that below. Here's a close up of the card so you can see how great this Positioner really is.

Heart of Hearts

 It sure seems that already in 2026, the days are flying by.  It was just Christmas, and Valentine's Day is fast approaching.  So today I'm sharing a few cards for the occasion.

I pulled out two retired heart punches and some hot pink glitter paper from my stash. The paper is a current Stampin' Up! called Made With Love. This fun fold is angled on both sides of the front, to reveal the message inside. 

Using another retired paper from Stampin' Up! and the same retired heart punches, I added some sparkly ribbon and gems.

Using the same Made With Love designer paper and the Sweet Jar Bundle, this card speaks happy to me.

While I usually don't make a lot of Valentine cards, I am happy with these few. I made several more that went to a friend in Arizona, so it was worth the challenge.

Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you all have a wonderful day full of love, flowers and chocolate! 😋

Kits Are Kool - Everyday !

 Hello friends! 

I apologize for the long silence since my last post of 2025.  So much has been happening, that I sometimes find the days just get away from me.  Hubby Dale is doing about the same so that is actually good news. He's using his walker now because I can no longer help him walk.  He has a tendency to pull down on my arms for support, and I ended up with a pulled nerve in my neck, which really had me in a lot of pain for a while.  Therapy to fix it helped, so now he's using the walker whether he likes it or not.  (He doesn't). 😉

So, I am finally back and ready to share a lot of new products, pretty cards and kits and information to share. Today I'm sharing a really wonderful kit called Everyday Beauty.  This kit comes with enough supplies to make 9 cards however, because the card bases were the same design on the front and back, I was able to cut those apart and make 17 cards.  All I did was add different colored cardstock for new card bases.  

This is the image that is on the instruction sheet, along with some of the supplies:

This kit contains supplies for 9 cards and envelopes, as well as a stamp set, floral medallions, gold thread, and plenty of die cuts and adhesive.  It also comes with a Night of Navy Ink Spot. Coordinating colors are Basic Beige, Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Petal Pink.

Herer's all the cards I was able to make with this kit:

I brought out a retired stamp set called Timeless Tulips and it has a coordinating punch that really shows off those Darling Duckling and Calypso Coral tulips.  I thought a few Easter cards would be a nice addition, since it is almost spring.

.

What do you think? Aren't these pretty? (if I do say so myself). 😉  

We have many kits to choose from in my online store.  Or, if you would like, check out our monthly subscription to Paper Pumpkin.  Each month a new kit is shipped to you, and it includes a stamp set and all the embellishments and die cuts you need to create beautiful projects.  You can do the "pay as you go" option, which means your kit ships to you after your account is billed. Or, we have options to pay in full for 3, 6 or 9 months and even a year.  Paper Pumpkin kits are different from our online store kits, so the designs and projects will not be what you see in my online store.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I have a lot more to share so I am off to do my next post that will be available in a day or two.  Until then, happy stamping!
