Hang in there from the Inspirational Squad

Aren't these animals just the cutest?  I love how whimsical they are and how easy it is to put them together with additional Stampin' Up! products for some really nice cards.  I think a person of any age might enjoy receiving a card like this.  I know I would!  It would be especially good for a teacher as the school year is quickly approaching.

Inspirational Squad I believe in you dragon card

Hello everyone!  A lot has happened since the last post.  Stampin' Up! has begun a month-long sale for the 2025-2027 In Colors.  Head on over to my online store to see what products are included in the sale.  There are many you might not think of including some Paper Pumpkin refill kits!  You will find the direct link to that page here: 2025-2027 In Color Sale.  In addition, new products and additional discounts have been added to the Last Chance category in my online store.  You can find those items here: Last Chance

Now that we have all that completed, let's get on to our project for today.  I recently obtained the Inspiration Squad stamp set (of course, it's now on Last Chance at a discount for you!) and had to use it before it's no longer available.  I recently read the Empyrean book series and the little dragon in this set reminds me of the dragon from the books.  I imagined the little dragon in front of an arched stone wall surrounded by flowers.  This card is the end result and I do love how it turned out, don't you?

Rustic Centerpiece Sunflower card

 Today I thought I’d color the sunflower image from the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set recently released by Stampin’ Up!®️. This particular image is the one that drew me to the stamp set, although it has great versatility for all occasions using the separate images in the set.  There are no sentiments included in this one so I pulled in More Messages.  To watch the video tutorial for this card, head on over to my YouTube channel.  Please be forewarned that my internet cut out as I was showing the stamping and embossing of the sentiment; however, I had completed the card (other than the sentiment). I’m terribly sorry about that.
