Bauble Blooms

A little hidden gem from the July 2025 Online Exclusives is the Bauble Blooms Bundle.  There are so many different possibilities with this set.  Here is one example (not in usual Christmas colors---

The ornament on the left is done by stamping the detail first, then the solid in the same color on top.  I used a blender pen in a lighter blue to fill in the flowers.  Any coordinating DSP works for the ornament on the right.  Have fun getting creative!

Joyful Tidings

What first caught my eye with this card was the gorgeous Designer Series Paper! Thanks Sandra for sharing your paper with me---Traditions of Christmas paper has a great variety of designs, but this one the gold stands out.  Of course, with the gold in the paper, the card needs to have gold embossed stamps.  Peggy Noe did a great job of highlighting that element.

Pretty in Pink embossed with gold adds a great contrast to this paper,  Layered on Gold Paper, add a few red embellishments, an embossed sentiment, and you've got complete card.
Oh and here is the Snowflake Kisses I forgot to add to my post last time.  It's never too early to work on Christmas cards!

Snowflake Kisses

It doesn't snow often here in the desert, but it's fun when it does to give snowflake kisses.  This cute card was inspired by Linda of Lindasstampinescape.com. She has a great video on making it.  At one point, many moons ago, she was a part of our Inkyfingers group (before the company reorganinzed).  Her creativity has continued.  


Since I didn't have the ombre paper she used for the snowflake, I adapted and added Wink of Stella to Balmy Blue cardstock.  I did use wax paper when die cutting to make the die come out easier.  Glue is only needed around the frame and the circle in the middle.  Hope you are inspired to give it a try.~~~Susie

Something From the Past

 A friend from church asked me to make her a couple of inspirational cards for her to give to her friends.  As I was looking for ideas, I came across a card by Jackie Bolhuis.  She used a technique I haven't done in years and had forgotten how easy and beautiful the effect. Some things never get old!


To create this effect, simply use a baby wipe to create your own stamp pad.  Spread a folded wipe onto a paper plate or the largest acrylic block; add four drops of each color---Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, and Highland Heather--to baby wipe, fairly close together.  This becomes your ink pad.  Ink up solid flower from Inspirations Abloom set with just 2-3 taps; don't move too much around--makes colors muddy.  Stamp flower and repeat.  Ink detail flower stamp and stamp over each solid flower; add flower center and leaves (solid leaf is stamped off so it lighter.  Add sentiment and sprinkles (I used the one from Branching Out set); layer onto cardstock and you've got a beautiful card!

 Good Morning---it's the start of another week.  Lots going on this week with stamping classes.  Life can get busy!!!  This card--inspired by Mary Deatherage--shows the versatility of the Petal Arrangement stamp set.  You can stamp the pieces altogether (they fit like puzzle pieces) or use them individually.  The front of the card shows the together as one stamp, while on the inside I used just one.

Flowers were stamped in black; sentiments in Mossy Meadow.  Colored card front with blends (Old Olive, Fresh Freesia, Darling Duckling), then filled in the background (used Pool Party on one and Cloud Cover on another); I liked the Pool Party the best.  Some Darling Duckling Faux Ribbon and Low Profile Sparkle Dots complete the card.
