The best way to start a Monday morning is with a giant cup of coffee. I'm back this week sharing another one of the cards designed for our recent team meeting. This was designed by Margo. This cardwas made with the Nothing's Better Than stamp set and dies. This is one of my favorite stamp sets because of all the different choices in the stamp set. You favorite could be ... coffee, chocolate, cookies, or cocktails. My favorite thing about … [Read more...] about Coffee Time
Fridays Are For Ice Creams
I'm pretty sure we can all agree on that! But if you're watching your calories, you may have to indulge in a paper ice cream instead. The good news is that you can have as many paper ice creams as you want! Today's project was designed by Patricia in my downline. This is a great idea for those Ombre Treat Bags. The bag is folded in half and you end up with two pockets to put something in. You have the one pocket between the top half and the … [Read more...] about Fridays Are For Ice Creams
Peekaboo!
Continuing with sharing projects from our recent Demonstrator meeting... today I'm featuring a project designed by Lyndi. I love these cute little critters from the Peekaboo Farm stamp set. This set features five different animals that peek out from behind this wall. Or you could have them peeking out from behind some other object as well. Lyndi's project is actually a small gift box, using one of our Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes. These boxes are … [Read more...] about Peekaboo!
Floating Strips
After 18+ months, most my 24-7Inkspiration team of demonstrators got together for our very first in person event. All during Covid, we were meeting via Zoom calls and FB Lives. It was absolutely wonderful to see people in person again and be able to craft together. Patricia did an amazing job hosting all of us with a lovely lunch. At the event, we had what's called a shoebox swap. Everyone designs a card/project and brings the supplies for … [Read more...] about Floating Strips
Hey Friend!
Happy Friday! Today's card uses the Sweet Symmetry Suite of products. This stamp set and paper contains big, bold images that look fabulous in bright colors. The stamp set in this Suite was designed very thoughtfully. All of the flower pieces are separate - the flowers, leaves, and stem. This makes it so much easier to create your flower in a variety of colors. The stamp set has a coordinating punch rather than a die set so I did have to … [Read more...] about Hey Friend!

July Sampler – Let Freedom Ring
Independence day has come and gone for another year but I couldn't let July pass without creating a patriotic Sampler for this month. Honestly, this one was a little bit of a struggle. I had a hard time figuring out how I was going to make fireworks because I really wanted fireworks in July's Sampler. I tried a couple different things, but none of them looked quite right. But I think the red and blue sparkles in the top left square are a … [Read more...] about July Sampler – Let Freedom Ring
Framed Floral Squares
Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing my final project (for now) using the Floral Square dies. I had an older shadowbox frame in my living room and I decided it was time to change it out. This combines both the subtle background plus a pop of color. The yellow and the red match my living room decor and paint colors. It really is a simple looking project, but I like the clean look. And when I tire of it, I can easily replace it. Do you … [Read more...] about Framed Floral Squares
