Sending You Love

 Good Moring, Stampers!

There’s something magical about handmade Valentine — the kind that feel like tiny keepsakes rather than just cards. Today’s project leans into that nostalgia with a playful twist: a miniature mailbox built from the Everyday Arches dies and paired with the sweet sentiment and dies from the Endless Love bundle. It’s perfect for sending a little love through the mail! Whether you’re crafting for a partner, a friend, or a classroom full of kids, this card is a heartfelt way to say “I’m thinking of you.”

Stamps: Endless Love, Seasonal Celebrations
Ink: Strawberry Slush, Craft White
Paper: Basic White, Strawberry Slush, Basic Black
Accessories: Everyday Arches, Endless Love dies, Loose Valentine Assortment, Strawberry Slush/Pretty in Pink gems

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - I HEART You

 Good Morning, Stampers!


I HEART You. A simple message that means everything.
That is the theme for this week's Create with Stampin'
Friends Saturday Blog Hop! 


What better way to send a simple message than
with a handmade card! I started the base of the card 
with the largest die from the Endless Love die set
and a water painter. I added the diluted Bubble Bath
ink into the center creating a large watercolor heart.
I then added the remaining stamped images with a
spritz of water before stamping onto the the watercolor paper
giving the entire card front a watercolor look! 




SU!pplies:
Stamps:
Endless Love
Ink: Bubble Bath, Strawberry Slush, Craft White
Paper: Strawberry Slush, Bubble Bath, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper
Accessories: Endless Love dies, Bubble Bath ribbon, Water painter, Strawberry Slush/Pretty in Pink Gems, Stampin' Spritzer

rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge #377

 Good Morning, Stampers!

(click photo to enlarge)

I LOVE beautiful paper! Whether it’s the marbled sheets tucked inside a journal, the textured cardstock used for handmade cards, or the patterned pages that elevate a scrapbook — designer paper has a way of turning ordinary projects into something unforgettable.

What do you do when designer paper isn't made to match a stamp set design
or you run out of your favorite pattern, textured or colored paper?
You create your own!

This week’s challenge is all about tapping into your inner artist and creating a one‑of‑a‑kind paper design that reflects your style, your mood, or your wildest creative impulses.



I combined the Reason to Celebrate sentiments with the hearts from 
the Seasonal Celebrations stamp set for my designer paper.

My favorite part of creating custom designer paper is that you
always have the perfect color combination for your project!


SU!pplies:
Stamps:
Reason to Celebrate, Seasonal Celebrations
Ink: Strawberry Slush, Pretty in Pink, Bubble Bath
Paper: Thick Basic White, Strawberry Slush, Pretty in Pink
Accessories: Endless Love dies, Mini Alphabet dies, Hope Love and Joy dies, Bubble Bath ribbon, Strawberry Slush/Pretty in Pink gems

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you have fun creating some designer paper for your next project!

 Good Morning, Stampers!


Welcome to the Create with Stampin' Friends Saturday

rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge #376

 Good Morning, Stampers!

(click photo to enlarge)

This week’s challenge theme is Anything BUT a card, and I couldn’t resist stepping outside the usual paper‑crafting box. Instead of folding cardstock, I headed straight to the Dollar General and found the cutest little wooden tic‑tac‑toe board just begging for a Valentine make over.

Sometimes the best projects start with the simplest finds!

To give the board a sweet Valentine vibe, I covered the game pieces with the Made with Love designer papers. The Anything BUT a Card theme always pushes me to look at everyday items with fresh eyes. It’s a reminder that paper crafting isn’t limited to cards — it can transform home décor, gifts, games, and more!

Ink: Craft White 
Paper: Made with Love DSP

Thanks so much for joining me this week!

Masculine Valentine

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Valentine’s Day crafting doesn’t always have to be pink, frilly, or covered in hearts. Sometimes the most meaningful cards are the ones that feel strong, simple, and intentionally masculine. Today's project features the Endless Love bundle — and it turned out to be the perfect choice for creating a clean, modern Valentine with just the right amount of rugged charm! 


The bundle’s mix of bold sentiments, geometric accents, and versatile dies makes it incredibly easy to shift the vibe from romantic to refined. Instead of leaning into traditional Valentine colors, I pulled a palette of Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black and Smoky Slate — and suddenly the whole project felt elevated and masculine.
