Hooray for Surprises, Mixed Media Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!, Brian King

Emma and I hosted the bonus call for our Textured Notes Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kit over the weekend. It’s always fun to hang out with the participants and find out what they enjoyed or what challenged them the most. The cards I design for these kits are exclusive to the kit – I don’t share the projects on my blog. Today, though, I’m sharing a concept from one of the cards in this kit…

Brian's Week in Review

Happy Easter! If you are here for some fun Easter inspiration, don’t despair – I’m sharing a quick parade at the tail-end of this post. I hope you are able to spend today with the friends or family (or alone) as you wish. Perhaps a bit of chocolate or a boiled egg? Maybe you’ll enjoy those in a pastel bonnet? Today is Sunday – and that means it’s time to take a look back at…

Easter Greetings with Faith Collection

Faith Collection Bundle, Storytime Friends, Stampin' Up!, Brian King, Easter card

Easter is tomorrow. It really snuck up on me this year, so this is the only Easter card I’ve shared this season. I have collected several products over the past several months to make Easter projects, but time got away from me. I couldn’t let Easter come and go without making a card with the Faith Collection Bundle, so I made this card to share with you today: My card combines solemn stamp and die-cut…

A Look Back at Stampin’ Up!’s Retiring In Colors

Timeless Tiles, Something Fancy, 2023-2025 In Colors, Stampin Up!, Brian King, thank you card

When Stampin’ Up! introduced the collection of five regal colors that would be the 2024-2025 In Colors, we were excited by the new and unique collection, but I remember there was skepticism about whether we’d love all of the dusty colors. As far as I am concerned (and as far as I can tell from talking with others), we fell in love with these colors and have used them frequently. All good things must come…

I have shared many of the tags on my blog over the years, but not all tags were spotlighted. Some tags are more intricate than others, but each holds a special memory in my mind. I always want the tag to feel special, but I…

Brian’s Week in Review: April 13, 2025

Brian's Week in Review

It’s been a wonderful week. The first two weeks of retirement have treated me well. I’ve had loads of time for working on tasks around the house, completing projects in the craft room and making plans for travels. I’ll share more about that soon! ♥ I’ve caught up with friends and former coworkers and found some time to relax in all of that plotting and planning. 🙂 Before we hop into the week’s review, let’s…
