Playing With Sand - Around the World on Wednesday

Welcome to the June edition of Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! Are you arriving from Chris Smith's sandy creation or just getting started?  Either way, just be sure to hop all the way through!

This month's theme had me dreaming of warm sunshine, sandy beaches, and tropical getaways. With summer just around the corner, I couldn't resist creating a beach-inspired card featuring the beautiful Rolling Waves Bundle.


For this design, I started by creating the ocean scene at the top of my card. The layered wave dies from the Rolling Waves Bundle add incredible movement and texture, perfectly capturing the look of foamy surf rolling onto the shore. I stamped soft shades of Coastal Cabana to create the water and sky, then layered the die-cut waves to bring the scene to life.

The sandy beach was created with Crumb Cake cardstock and a bit of tone-on-tone stamping to mimic the texture of sand. To enhance the tropical feel, I tucked a few vibrant die-cut palm leaves behind my focal cluster.

The beach umbrella, seashells, and starfish create a fun vacation vibe, while the "Bon Voyage" sentiment is the perfect finishing touch. The bright coral and soft pastel accents pop beautifully against the turquoise water and neutral sand, making this card feel cheerful and relaxing all at once.

Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to continue around the world with the rest of the talented designers for even more inspiration. I'd love to hear what you think of this beachy creation in the comments below!

Around The World on Wednesday - January 2026


Welcome to the first Around the World on Wednesday blog hop of 2026!  This month we are CAS(e)ing the talented Jan Clothier and her love of the Faux Torn Paper Mask technique.  We're also adding in a This or That twist to the mix...so much fun!

May be a graphic of text that says 'JAN January 2026 CLOTHIER TEAM MEMBER FOCUS'

Here's a little peek at one of Jan's projects that inspired me:

I chose the Celebratory Sips bundle to create some refreshing birthday wishes!

Who doesn't love a yummy pink drink with an umbrella?  I used shades of Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger and Bubble Bath to blend together a beautiful background for these sweet sips.

Maybe a tall glass of lemonade is more your sipping style.  I blended Daffodil Delight, Timid Tiger and just a bit of Lemon Lime twist.  If you look closely, you'll see some Lemon Lime Twist ice cubes stamped as well.

Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper compliment each card and the Textured Notes dies added just the perfect amount of texture around each layer.  Cheers!

Next up is my sweet friend Teri West at Alaska Stamper

Sweet Days of Autumn

Welcome to our October edition of Around the World on Wednesday blog hop!  This month we have a fun sketch to play along with.  Just wait until you see all of the amazing interpretations! Whether you arrived here from the fabulous Theresa McEntee or you are just getting started, make sure you hop all the way through the line up!


I have fully embraced fall, even in my creating.  My color pallet has switched to warmer colors that feel like fall.  The adorable new Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper is perfect for fall creations.  Take a look!

I fussy cut these cute little critters and arranged them amongst a few other patterns of paper in the pack, with just a peek of Crush Curry.  A Crumb Cake card base with an extra layer of Birch Wood 3D texture gives the full fall effect!

These sweet little critters needed a sweet little sentiment.  Hello Friend from Country Birdhouse was just right!

Let's see what our friend Lori Willcox has to share with us next!

Happy Stamping!
