The Timeless Tulips Stamp Set first appeared in a Stampin' Up! Catalog in the Spring of 2020 and carried over into the 2020-21 Annual Catalog. The catalogs also included a Tulip Builder Punch that made it easy to stamp all the stems and leaves and then adhere the flowers over them without any fussy masking.

Happy Easter!
Aloha, all! I spent some time last week decided which of my Easter cards I wanted to send to my grandchildren. They all - 2 girls and 2 boys - have such different personalities.

Getting Ready for Easter!
Aloha, all! I'm 75% moved into my own home after having been away for 6 months. Unfortunately, the 25% not unpacked and put away is what's in my Craft Room! I decided to do that by design so that our household would be back into commission and everyone would be ready for daily activities before I started in on my crafts. Yes, my crafts are … [Read more...] about Getting Ready for Easter!
