If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.
Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.
In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.
This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Pretty Window card
Later today the Retired List will be out for the 2019 Annual Catalog! Items will be available while supplies last. Rococo Rose card stock is already sold out. Stay tuned; I'll post it as soon as it's out! Or click here after 2 pm Central Time.
My colors are Balmy Blue, Black & White here. That pretty flower is fussy cut from the True Love Designer Series paper seen here and colored with Balmy Blue Blends. It's my very favorite paper!
I textured the Balmy Blue CS before I die-cut the window; cutting them both at the same time.
See the other products used here; click on each to see it in my store:
Audrey, on my Flowerbug's Team is an expert at coloring and she gave me a few samples made with this set. *All I had to do was layer it and create a finished card with her beautiful colored image! Love that!
3 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set
I tried not to order the Circle Celebration stamp set but it kept calling out 'Order me!' So I caved….and am so glad I did! The images seem like they're almost 'retro' style which I love. I do enjoy creating my own stamped background and these are perfect for that.
You start out with a sponged background. I used our new Blending Brushes that are awesome! They are currently out of stocks but should be back at the end of March.
Randomly sponge ink colors onto our Basic White CS. Choose colors that somewhat coordinate if possible. this can be difficult for some who struggle with color combos. I choose colors that when mixed do not make mud. How do I know which colors don't mix? Trial and error of course! Here I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. Aren't these colors gorgeous together?!!!
*Another combo I might pick are yellows, oranges & reds. Or greens & blues!
Once you're done you add sponged circles using White Craft ink. I made my own stencils by punching circles out of card stock. I share tips on using and re-inking our White Craft ink in the video below.
The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set in the Annual Catalog and the butterflies AND white dotted die-cut 'holes' are from the new Brilliant Wings bundle seen here.
Here is the video; I hope you watch it to see how to make these fun projects!
Stop in here for tonight's Stamp with Me Facebook Live at 7:30 pm Central Time! We're making these paper quilting cards:
