For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday, we are focusing on techniques! One of my favorite stamping techniques is “watercolor stamping.” I love the look of watercoloring in general, and this technique makes it super easy! It’s a great way to create a “wow” card without a lot of effort. (I’ll explain how.) My card features the Textured Floral Stamp Set and coordinating dies, one of my favorite bundles.

Our theme for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday is “Something Blue.” If you know me, you know I LOVE blue, so this was probably one of my favorite challenges to date. Blue makes me think of water, the ocean, and waves. It’s a tranquil color that soothes my soul. And, that’s why I decided to use the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set. It’s one of my all-time favorites. I absolutely… Read More »
Our theme for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday is patterned paper. My current favorite is the Meandering Meadow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, which is part of the Meandering Meadow Suite Collection — an Online Exclusive. Each sheet in this paper pack is an absolute work of art! I couldn’t pick a favorite, but that worked in my favor, because I needed to make a bunch of sympathy cards.… Read More »
For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday, our theme is super fancy Christmas! One of my favorite things is making super fancy gift boxes for family and friends, so they feel special and loved. To me, “super fancy” means a little more effort and lots of layers and dimension. I love not having to worry about fitting my project in an envelope, so the sky is the limit! To see all… Read More »

For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday, our theme is to CASE a fancy friend. I love this challenge, but it’s also a little intimidating. The entire design team is made up of artisan alumni! So it was not only difficult to pick just one person, but also difficult to pick just one project! I ended up selecting another US artisan, Elizabeth Price. I’ve always admired her work and love her… Read More »
For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday, we are designing projects with characters, including animals, people, and basically anything with a face. I didn’t really have a lot of choices. My stash doesn’t typically include cutesy stamp sets with characters. But then I remembered the Taco Fiesta stamp set! It includes little face stamps!!! To see all the designers’ character projects, keep an eye on the Stampin’ Fancy Friday Facebook and Instagram pages during April.… Read More »
