Dollar Store Stampin' Up! Style Valentine Tree

 Good Morning, Stampers!

During a recent stroll through Dollar Tree — the kind where you swear you’re “just grabbing one thing” — I spotted this felt heart Valentine tree. Of course, I knew right away it needed a little Stampin' touch so I added the Endless Love die cuts using felt in coordinating colors. So quick and simple - I just LOVE how it came out!

What I love most about this project is how accessible it is. A $1.25 heart tree, a set of dies you already love, and a few minutes of creative play — that’s all it takes to make something meaningful.

Crafting doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful. Sometimes the simplest projects are the ones that stay with us the longest.

If you try this idea, I’d love to hear how you made it your own. Creativity grows when we share it!

One Stamp at a Time - Falling for Farmhouse

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Welcome to the One Stamp at a Time October Blog Hop!

We are so glad you are joiing us for this month's theme - Falling for 

Farmhouse. It's such a popular design trend and fun to 

incorporate it into our papercrafting! 

The Country Woods designer paper is the perfect base for 

creating with a Farmhouse look! I picked up this frame at the

Dollatree and created a matching card featuring the 

Decorative Tree and Peaceful Season bundles. Of course, 

a farmhouse-style project wouldn't be complete without

a little black buffalo check!

Creativity NOW!

 Good Morning, Stampers!

One of my favorite things to do is get together with my fellow stampin' friends to spend the day stamping and catching up. Yesterday, we all got together for the Creativity Now event and it was so much fun! 

We went with a patriotic theme for the event. I found these cute little 

buckets at Dollartree and added the vinyl logo, candy and glow stick. 

Everyone working hard and creating! 

Such a fun afternoon! I'll share some of the projects

we created in the coming days - stay tuned!

In Bloom Stampin' Up! Style

 Good Morning, Stampers!

I came across this metal wall hanging and thought the 

Paper Florest Blooms could be exactly what this hanging needs

to add a few pops of color to bring it to life! 

I really love how this turned out! I added the Alphabet

A la Mode dies and the Basics 3D embossing folder for a little

added texture. It brightens up my craft space nicely!

Dollar Store Stampin' Up! Style - Pick Up Truck

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Do you ever come across something while looking for something else when

shopping? That's exactly what happened to me with these wooden truck panels

last week! It will come in handy for some of my upcoming stampin' 

events. It can be used to hold treats or maybe even some seasonal flowers.

I really love how it turned out! I may need to make a red one, too!

I glued the pieces together using wood glue. Once dried, I

painted the entire piece with white paint. I then distressed

the edges with a little tan paint and modpodged the logos

on both sides and back end of the truck using the 

logos from the print lab.

A little tip - trace the area with a pencil so

you know where to add the wood glue.
