January 5th Motivation Monday

Happy New Year everyone! Today is the first Motivation Monday for 2026!

I gave you a sneek peak at a new item that will be available starting tomorrow. Jan. 6th.

I used Love Notes DSP. This comes is 6x6, and it has some awesome cut apart sheets in this pack, that makes it easy to create quick projects.

I also used a new 3-D embossing folder called Hearts of Love. This makes a sweet background, that has little rainbows made from hearts. Super Cute!!

I created two cards for you that only has stamping on the inside. The DSP pack did all the work, to create easy cards for you.

The other projects is a Purse Gift Card holder. Open it up to reveal a little message, or turn it around, to find a hidden pocket for a gift card.

To see the individual projects go to my Gallery.

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Today I featured this Beautiful Designer Paper in Motivation Monday. (12-29-25)

I paired it with various supplies from other stamp sets, and dies. I also used the Party Banner Dies, as a base for my embellishment cluster.
