I love to catch a cup of tea or coffee with friends. How about you? It’s always fun catching up over a cup of tea or coffee with a friend.
Or how about making a cute little gift for someone special? I’ve used this sweet peach tea since I thought it brought out the Crushed Curry flowers in the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper.
And since I love anything coffee or tea themed lol I knew I it was one of the first things I would get from the new Catalog. I think you’ll love this fun suite of products too.
Tea Boutique (158670) can be found in our 2022 Annual Catalog on page 12-13. The Suite is filled with not only the Cup of Tea Stamp set and coordinating dies, it’s also filled with some other fun coordinating products for you to craft with.
Here is a quick video tutorial for you along with a PDF that you can print off, so you can make some of these fun 3×3 Tea Bag Holders too!

Yesterday I had my Annual Holiday Luncheon with my Team and I couldn’t resist sharing this fun home décor item that I made using the Eden’s Garden Collection 160849. When I saw the flyer with the lovely wreath I knew I wanted to make one too. The Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (159996) and Garden Gems(159277) are simply breath taking! So I stocked up so I can make tons of these and coordinating projects for gifts.
Here is my take on this lovely little gift, perfect for holiday gift giving.
I really like the 3D effect that this wreath has as I removed the glass from from frame and used tons of Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals between the layers.
Want to see how I made mine? Here is a Video Tutorial for you.

How about some swaps, team time and a fun treat tutorial? Today I thought I’d share what we’ve been doing as a my group recently. I’ve got a great team and we have a lot of fun together when we gather each month, so I thought I’d share some of the groups swaps first. I’ll start with some of the Sale-a-bration cards.
this first card uses the lovely Feels like Home stamp set (Sale-a-bration 156607) and has been colored with our Watercolor Pencils (141709 & 149014) assortments for a softer look. And this next card was created using the Delicate Dahlia stamp set (Sale-a-bration 156601) and Merry Merlot for a bold look.
If you don’t recognize the polka dots it’s from the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper pack (Sale-a-bration 156630) which as you can see is quite versatile. A bit of fussy cutting and some Wink of Stella finish off this lovely card. And how about this big bold sunflower?
This card uses the Celebrate Sunflowers (152517) and the coordinating Sunflower Dies (152704) and it’s also a fun buckle card, the sentiment tucks into a punched slot behind the sunflower.
Not only do we do team meetings each month, but we also had a team retreat in August, so I thought I’d share a couple of the swaps from that today. This first project uses the Friends are Like Seashells Bundle (159516) and Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309).
And how about some pansy fun using the Pansy Petals Suite (155810)? A simple cutting technique creates this criss-cross pattern for the card front.
We also made a fun little box that was filled with some treats.
I really love this Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807) and the fact you can cut tons of flowers out with the bundle’s dies and isn’t the little box adorable? Want to see more team fun? This month was our bi-annual Peak Princess event. What is that? It’s a special day filled with pampering that my team can earn. This time we made 3 special projects, won prizes and enjoyed a nice Hawaiian inspired luncheon together.
The pulled pork and Mango Salsa we had were a hit so I thought I’d share the recipes with you. The pulled pork is soooo easy with just 3 ingredients and you make in the crock pot too! And you may find the Mango Salsa addictive – eat it with chips, or you can add it on top of fish or shrimp taco too.
Whew – that’s a lot I know but I hope you enjoyed a bit of a peek into what it’s like to be a Blue Mountain Stamper.

The name and images of the Quiet Meadow Bundle makes me think of my childhood and walking through the fields and meadows around my childhood home. Flowers of all kinds, milkweed pods and even Monarch Butterflies came and went through the seasons. My father wanted to have a tree farm and so had bought a large piece of property out in the country with a creek that ran through it. Our home sat on the farthest corner of the property up on a hill, the only spot really out of the flood plain. But that creek made the area rich with black soil and the perfect place to plant his trees on the other side of the property. Unfortunately my father passed before realizing his dream, but those wonderful childhood memories remain.
The Quiet Meadow Bundle includes both images in detail and silhouette.
It also contains some heartfelt sentiments for you too. Check out these wonderful cards made with this set. These first two use our new In Colors and create a lovely monochromatic card using silhouette images.
The butterfly was cut out of our beautiful Pale Papaya, In Color Shimmer Vellum (155616). If you haven’t seen this Shimmer Vellum in person it is simply beautiful with it’s translucent shimmer. Speaking of which, this next card adds the Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum to create an over lay of the collage background on this next card.
And this next card uses our Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807) and creates a shadow effect with the dies on this opening flap by cutting a second image out of our Evening Evergreen Card stock and just off setting the image a bit.
It contains a lovely little surprise when open with the Shimmer Vellum butterfly.
And last but not least here is a quick and easy 3d project, using the dies and a bit of sponging.
So what do you think? Like all of the options that this bundle gives you? I think you’ll enjoy creating with the Quiet Meadow Bundle. And as you can see it looks great with our 2021 In Color Collection too!

I love turtles and find them fascinating, always looking for their little heads peeking out of the water or sunning themselves on the log when at a pond. I think this love for turtles was instilled in me with my first pet turtle as a young child. Remember, the little turtles that you placed in the clear plastic “pond” with a little palm tree in the middle? I’m afraid my little guy tended to be an escape artist. lol
So when I saw the Turtle Friend Bundle (155819) I immediately fell in love with it’s cute images and all occasions sentiments.
The fact that the bundle includes a punch makes it quick and easy to use too! Check out these projects made with the bundle. This first card done in Bumblebee and Old Olive uses the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (149643) as a back drop.
The Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563) highlight these cute little duo. And this next monochromatic card is done in our new Soft Succulent.
It uses our fun 2021- 2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum (155616) for a pop of shimmer behind the turtle. This paper is awesome and comes in all 5 In Colors, and it is great for overlaying on another layer like this project does.
This next project is a fun fold that swings up the little turtle up for display.
The final project I’m sharing with you today is a treat bag made with our Ombre Gift Bags (155479) filled with some turtle chocolate treats.
Check out the adorable little flower, it’s our Loose Flower Flourishes (155808) that come in 3 of our 2021-2023 In Colors. This accessory is perfect for using with our In Colors since they are a great way to bring trendy colors to your stamping.
So what do you think? Do you love these little turtles too? Why not get your Turtle Friends Bundle today and save 10%? Stop by my Online Store for this bundle and check out all our new projects simply by clicking on my link below.

Have you seen the Hats Off Bundle (158361) in the Annual Catalog on page 47? It’s a great option for the dudes in our lives with its sentiments and images. The baseball cap is something that most mean have in their closets, or in my son’s case his prize possession. When he gets a new cap like he did yesterday, he’ll give it special attention until it is worn in just right. I guess you could call his hats, the guy version of shoes. lol
So today I’ll share 3 projects with you highlight this fun stamp set and coordinating dies. This first card is done in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso and packs a lot of texture.
It not only uses the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder (152718) but also the lovely Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim (152472).
Next up –
This lovely card using the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494) Misty Moonlight, Smoky Slate and Real Red. Check out the bat it was made using the Suit & Tie Dies (154322). Yep, simply flip that tie upside down and you’ve got a great bat! This card not only has the wonderful woven texture from the Designer Series Paper but also adds some stitching with the Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820). The Smoky Slate layer was dry embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder (155431) for even more texture.
And finally a fun 3D project using the Bundle (158361) It’s quick and simple to make
The colors chosen for the topper were taken right off the package of gum too, which has been slid into one of our 6×8″ Cellophane Bags (102210). A quick and simple gift for that little slugger in our life.

With the summer time fun starting soon I wanted to share these fun tropical theme treats with you that I received during my Incentive Trip swaps. Such fun for graduation or even a pool party.
This first one hold a couple of Ghirardelli squares which is always a popular treat. I love the sparkle this treat holder has as it uses our Rainbow Glimmer Paper (153056) for some extra pizzazz!
This treat has been made with our Acetate Card Boxes (150428). Simply cut them in half and you’ve got two treat boxes that are really sturdy treat. Pop it into our Printed Gusseted Cellophane Bags (151312) and tie it up with some ribbon they’re easy to take with you too.
And this next treat uses our NEW Simply Classic Treat Boxes (155566)
A little bit of ribbon creates a fun pull tab to open the box. This little box holds quite a bit too.
And my final share for the day is a fun Ombre Gift Bag (155479)
Filled with a fun face mask to help rest & relax during the summer holidays.
Fun right?
Why not check out the Timeless Tropical Stamp set (151497) you’ll find it on page 21 of the Annual Catalog. It’s got a coordinating set of dies too! You’ll love the Tropics Dies with all their detail stamp and why not create fun projects that just use the die cuts? Some of the images, like this pineapple can be used on their own which is an added bonus.
