I got the blog fixed – yay! I have to say, I don’t like change when it has to do with technology, haha.
Here’s a card I made awhile back – no one likes to have to make a card for this occasion, but since it’s made with lots of love and caring, I hope it matters even in a small way.
I used an old sentiment, but most everything else is current. AND the stamp set and dies are from the July-December Holiday Mini catalog! I used the Nature’s Harvest Bundle, item # 156813, but if you only wanted the dies or the stamp set, those are sold separately as well. View page 56 of the catalog for those item numbers. The link is on my right side bar, finally! Or you can just click here.
I took this photo with it just laying on top of my desk, and even though I took some from outside, this one looks more true color-wise, so I went with it. You cannot tell, but I used some Wink of Stella in gold on the stalks of wheat, which look pretty in person. 🙂
I have another post coming that includes a SALE that ends tomorrow, so don’t miss that one! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hi! Things got a little weird over here at the blog and my right side-bar disappeared, all except for the Archives portion. Not sure how that happened, but I’m trying to get everything back up to snuff. I’ll be adding to the sidebar slowly – it’s a process! And WordPress changed everything and it’s been hard for this old brain to figure it out! As soon as I started, the Archived portion was gone! Yikes.
I have a few projects to add, but am going to have to wait until I get a bit more situated. Hope you can bear with me! In the meantime, use THIS LINK or the one below to view my shopping site.
Thanks for your patience! And please feel free to email me at paper underscore addict at msn. com (type all of that out into your email). I’ll be happy to help!

My daughter’s birthday is coming up and she LOVES things that are foiled and have sparkle. The Love You Always Specialty DSP has beautifully foiled paper so I knew I had to get that out and get crackin’! Don’t worry – she will not see this post!
Quite a few things on this card are retiring in a week – on 5/3/21 so I wanted to make sure you get a look at the card before they’re gone for good. The supplies I used are linked below. If the link doesn’t take you to the item intended, it means it’s no longer available. But I can assure you there will be lots of other lovely items to choose from!
Edited to correct: the Lovely You stamp set is not retiring as the original post indicated.

The Tulip Magnolia tree is such a pretty tree. It has pink to purple flowers instead of white or yellow – what a gorgeous site to behold in the spring here in the south. Luckily I can see these each spring, but I will miss the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set with coordinating Magnolia Memory Dies when they retire!
But that’s not the only thing on my card that is retiring! The Many Medallions Dies and the Purple Posey Stampin’ Blends, which I used to color the blooms, will also be retiring. I also used the Peony Garden DSP to stamp the sentiment on. All these items, plus many more great choices are only available until 5/4/21 or until supplies last.
Check out the retiring items here.

The stamp set Rooted in Nature is one of my favorite stamp sets. It’s the first one I ordered when it came out and sadly is now retiring. I mean, I’m keeping it of course, but it I won’t be as apt to showcase it again on my blog because of that fact. There is also a coordinating die set, too! The sentiment is from a long retired set, but this simple layout allows for many different sentiments to be used. 🙂
You can view all the retiring items by clicking here – be sure to get them before they are no longer available or sell out, but for sure no later than 5/3/21. The items in the new catalog will be available to order on 5/4/21 , so check back soon!

Here is a card I made using a free item out of the new Sale-A-Bration 2021 catalog – a 12″ x 12″ pack of Designer Series Paper called Paper Blooms. I love that this paper pack is double-sided with a great mix of beautiful florals as well as neutral patters to choose from. This paper pack coordinates with the Pretty Perennials Bundle from the new Jan. – July 2021 mini catalog, too. Click on my right side-bar to view any of the catalogs.

Look at this adorable and timely card my friend Amanda D. sent to me! And how did she know this was one of my favorite paper packs of all time? I don’t think she did – we just happen to share similar tastes, I discovered. I miss you too, Amanda! Miss our stamping together. 🙂
I just had to share with you all. It looks like this type of card will be relevant for quite some time.

Here are 2 cards using the Plaid Tidings DSP in the Holiday Mini catalog. I LOVE plaid and these papers come in 6″ x 6″ so are perfect for creating cards. This above card uses a fall color palette and I just love it! The Plaid Tidings DSP doesn’t list the new In Color Bumblebee as one of the colors, but I used it and I think it works. I wanted to use the adorable Bumblebee ribbon and cardstock, so I just went for it!
The one above has a bit of a mistake on it – I used 2 different grays – oops! But I don’t mind, and actually in person it looks better because the white isn’t as pronounced as it appears here in the photo – it just evens it out I guess.
Now for the information on the paper sale!
Here are the paper packs that will be on sale:
I’ll be touching base once the sales starts as a friendly reminder!

Here’s a card I made using some items from the In Good Taste Suite, found on pages 122-124 of the 2020-2021 catalog.
I love everything about this suite. While this card has a feminine feel, the suite really has great options for masculine projects as well, mostly due to the amazing In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I just love how everything coordinates. And the paper is a dream! There are also twice as many sheets in this pack than regular DSP packs. You can save 10% by ordering the Tasteful Touches Bundle, which includes the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Tasteful Labels Dies!
Since I don’t yet have the Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends, I just stamped the flower in Rococo Rose ink, then very carefully added more color with the Blender Pens dipped in some ink. I either push the ink pad lid down to get some ink on the inside of the lid and use that, or it’s actually easier to just put a drop of ink from the ink refill inside the lid, then use the Blender Pen to pick up some of that ink. You do have to go easy on applying with the Blender Pen so as not to rough up the Whisper White cardstock. Prolonged rubbing will start to erode the paper a bit. A great alternative would be to use some Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper to stamp the flower on and then color it with regular ink.

The first thing my son said when I showed him this card was, “Isn’t it a little too early for Hallowe’en?” It’s really my fault – I shouldn’t have shown him the card. He doesn’t get it! He likes video games and he’s also super smart. What I didn’t get in smarts – I got in the need to create. Different strokes!
I used two stamp sets for the first time on this card – the Festive Post stamp set from the new mini catalog and the Buffalo Check background stamp, which has been around for awhile but I had never inked it up. The Festive Post stamp set ALSO has images for Christmas/Holiday/Winter and LOVE! It has several images that work perfectly with the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch, definitely one of my very favorites from the new 20-21 catalog!
The trees are from the Snow Front stamp set. I had used that stamp set last year – it’s a great set for winter. I also used a retired color, Delightful Dijon, for the brooms and cardstock with the sentiment. I just didn’t want a bright yellow and there isn’t a current color that I liked better. The bats look a bit blue in the photo, but they are indeed black! The card measures 4 3/4″ x 4″. Supplies used are below.
Anyway, this one came together quickly and now I have time to mail it out to get to the recipient on time! Yes, that’s a thing!
