Pocketful of Sunshine

August 9, 2017

Well I can’t believe it has been 2 weeks since our vacation and I haven’t posted once. I have been busy since I got home. It was time to prepare for my August Stamp Camp. I hadn’t stamped for two weeks and when you are used to stamping all the time two weeks seems like forever. Maybe it was just because I enjoyed my vacation so much. I spent one day working and the rest was all play. It was a great time with my daughter and son-in-law.

So today was my Lincoln Stamp Camp. If you follow me you know that I have two Stamp Camps a month. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing morning stamping. It was amazingly calm and quiet for a class of over 40 women!

In all fairness to the gals who have registered for the Sunrise class I cannot show you the cards we did at Lincoln Stamp Camp until after the Sunrise one this weekend. Next week I will have all those for you to see so instead I will show you one that I did for my Club this month.

POCKET FULL OF SUNSHINE
This card reminds me of when I was a teen. This would have been the jeans I would have worn. Something with lace and rhinestones on the pocket and my favorite flower, a daisy, in my back pocket as I was off to have fun. The sunglasses would have been something I found because we never had them as a kid. Or they would have been sunglasses for one of the kids I was babysitting. I did my share of that for fifty cents an hour.

Start with the Whisper White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score @ 4 1/4
Stamp 2 daisies on the 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 Whisper Whites using Pool Party ink
Stamp the glasses on the 2 x 4 Real Red with Basic Black
Stamp the pocket on the 3 x 4 Pool Party with Basic Black (fussy cut) I did not use the dies because of the edge on the dies.
Stamp the left edge of the 1 x 3 1/2 with the dotted line in Basic Black and the greeting in Pool Party. Cut the right edge to a flag.
On the 5 1/4 x 4″ pool party I stamped with VersaMark and the pocket stamp. I started on the sides and made them about 1/4″ apart in the middle. You will see the pattern as you stamp the bottom and top. The VersaMark just gives a very subtle image.

I hope you have enjoyed this card today. It is fun and easy and a little flirty.

Valley In Bloom DSP

By Debbie Chronister • May 6, 2026

I created this card using one of the more challenging patterns from the Valley In Bloom Designer Series Paper, and I love how it pushed me to think a little more creatively with my design. The detailed background really makes a statement, so I paired it with a simple, elegant greeting from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set to keep the focus balanced. To add a bit of texture and shine, I included Dew Drops embellishments, which catch the light beautifully. The finishing touch is a Mossy Meadow and gold bow, bringing in a rich, coordinated look that ties everything together perfectly while adding just the right amount of sophistication.

I had so much fun creating this playful fun fold card using the Sweet Bugs Bundle from Stampin’ Up! The interactive design adds an extra element of surprise, making it just as exciting to open as it is to display. I paired it with a greeting from the Lovely Arrangements set, which complements the whimsical bug images perfectly.
