My weekend has been amazing – and I couldn’t be happier about. On Friday night, I hosted my Online Exclusives Stamp-a-Long with a fun group of talented crafters. We had such a great time, and I thoroughly enjoyed stamping with these friends (remotely). We made projects with the A Little Latte Suite Collection and Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection – such fun! On Saturday afternoon, Emma Goddard and I hosted the bonus Zoom call from our last Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kit – I always love those calls!
Our last Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kit featured projects with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack. Every single card in this pack is great, but we couldn’t use ALL of them in our designs. For our bonus Zoom call, participants were asked to make a card with some of the leftovers. Most participants shared their brilliant designs – a highlight for me. Here’s the card I made for yesterday’s call:
My card showcases an ombre pattern of Crushed Curry and white stars that I cropped with the starburst die from the Patchwork Patterns Dies. Both of these products are retiring on April 30 or when supplies run out. Here’s a look at the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack:
And here’s a look at the brilliant Patchwork Pieces Dies, a standalone set of dies from Stampin’ Up!’s 2023 Annual Catalog (you want these before they retire or sell out):
Speaking of things that are set to retire (and this wasn’t planned), I added a collection of Crushed Curry starburst shapes to the center of my card from the Inked & Tiled Punch Pack (going away soon) and decorated my card with white Classic Matte Dots (also going away soon).
Here’s a look at the Inked & Tiled Bundle, which includes these punches:
Before you start looking for the stamp set with this incredible sentiment, I feel the need to tell you it was cropped from the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack – there’s not a touch of ink on this card. 🙂 Hope you like it.

Awesome card! I was hoping to be on the call yesterday…completed my kit and made an extra per your challenge! Loved the cards and watching you and Emma on video as always…I feel like we are all in the same room for a few hours! Hugs!
Your card is so creative using elements I would not think to put together. Your creativity shines in this card. Enjoy your day!
Love all aspects of this card. You and your creativity continue to inspire and motivate us!
