Stamp & Camp with Mary There's A Card Thursday - April 2, 2020 - Lovely Lily Pad Monochrome Card

I hope you are all doing well and staying safe, stamping while you are inside and staying 6 ft from everyone.  I have been designing cards and mailing them out.  I have so many cards I have even given them out in our condo area for others to use to mail to friends.  What have you been doing to pass the time while you are staying in and being safe?


Today I am using two of the great Sale-A-Bration sets.  I know you can't get them but I am betting most of you already have these sets.

I love the fact that this is a reversible stamp set.  You will see what I mean in the video.

Let's see how this is made.  It is a fun card.

Some more great things are happening with Paper Pumpkin this month.


At Paper Pumpkin, we believe in making a difference—especially when it comes to helping you  build relationships through papercrafting. For April, we created a fun, family appreciation themed card kit that would make it easy for you to share your hearts with those you love most: mom, dad, daughter, son, sister, and brother. April’s kit even includes Mother’s Day and Father’s Day sentiments, giving you the perfect way to show your appreciation for beloved parents on their special days with a beautiful, handmade card.


One more thing about this “fam-tastic” kit: The Paper Pumpkin team knows that everyone’s clan is unique. With that in mind, we provided sentiments that would include anyone in your life who feels like family; for instance, “brothers” and “sisters” who have helped you along the journey of life.

Stamp & Camp with Mary #simplestamping - April 1, 2020 - #simple stamping My Meadow Scene Note Card


Today is April 1, What do you do as April Fools jokes.  I think most of March was an April Fools joke and I think someone is going to pop up and yell April Fools.  Another month of staying home and crafting.  I find I don't have enough time as I thought I would so much else going on, rummy games, jig saw puzzles, movie nights, board games, and today walking in the rain.

The card I will be showing you is a scene card using My Meadow.
