Blog Waddle w/ Stray Ducklings-- March Theme is Stamping Techniques.......

 MY TECHNIQUE FOR THIS FEATURED CARD IS A VERY SIMPLE ONE!!  I just put some Real Red Ink directly on the new Ladybug Picnic 3D Embossing Folder & added a scrap pc. of White card stock.  The inked folder & the paper were ran thru my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine & bingo-bango, the little square came out red!  The other 3 squares were ran thru the machine as well on plain white card stock.  All 4 squares were die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.  (make sure to die cut 1st & run thru the embossing folder 2nd).  I used some 6 x 6 designer paper from the current Annual Catalog along with some Black Bakers Twine.  Please let me know if you have any questions......

 


  

 

      

 

   I SHARE MY PASSION FOR STAMPS, INK & PAPER WITH A SPECIAL FLOCK OF LADIES CALLED THE "STAMPING STRAY DUCKLINGS".  WHENEVER WE'RE TOGETHER, FEATHERS FLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE FUN WE HAVE!!

Annual Catalog Florals In Bloom Designer Paper on 5 Cards......

All 5 creations today feature the Florals In Bloom Designer Paper from the 2025-26 Annual Catalog.  On this card, I used 2 different patterns from the featured pack.  (pg. 117)



In the middle of this creation,  you will find one pc. of the Florals In Bloom DSP.

 


The pretty pink flower and 2 leaves were fussy cut from this featured paper pack.  I used the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder from the current Annual Catalog.

 


The very first card above, plus this creation both have the same striped paper from this DSP pack.

 

The bottom layer PLUS all 3 pink flowers come from the Florals In Bloom paper pack.  I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.

Blog Waddle w/ Stray Ducklings-- February Theme is Card Sketches.......

 

 For this creation, I used the Reason To Celebrate stamp set which is all words.  Along with this set, the Cute As A Bug designer paper is featured.  3 separate pcs. of this paper pack are shown on this card.  (I needed an Anniversary card for friends, and I love how this whimsical one turned out!! )

  

I copied this card sketch/template for the above creation.  The layout is super simple & right up my alley!
