Sneak Peek! What’s Darla Up To? 12 Days of Crafting ... Preparing for my Live ... Tuesday Dec 9, 2025
I’m a blogger from the Midwest. Actually North Central Iowa. Being an Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for almost eight years come March 2026! I have learned to value color along with this amazing community. Are you a papercrafter. Do you have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator?
This is my studio glass mat. I’m creating for my Live tonight at 8:00 PM CT. I’m preparing using Flirty Flamingo card stock, Old Olive Ink, and Crushed Curry Ink. The colors that are in the12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar. Purchase Your Calendar
12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar This 6x6 Designer Series Paper was behind Door #2! Make This Season Bright! with the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar. Comes with the coordinating stamp set.
Did you watch my December 2nd 2025 Live when I showcased the dies from Door #1. I told myself I needed to get up to my Studio right away this morning. To create a stunning card to mail to a couple of families whom are dealing with the loss of their family members.
Because I along with others, know what it is like to celebrate the firsts. The first Thanksgiving, first Christmas, all those firsts without your LOVED ONE. My heart breaks for you, with you, and there aren't words to say it'll get easier.
For me having the measurements right in front of me, makes me creative right from the get go! Thank you #CASEINGTUESDAY542! for another amazing Tuesday sketch. I then choose the DSP, card stock, and lay out the coordinating ink pads. To me, it's like having a slice of heaven here on earth. Creating cards to share with others.
Love What We Do! Share What We Do!
Here’s a couple greeting cards created with special folks in mind. Lifting prayers for them (and others) that need His comfort, peace, and understanding. Drop me an email, if you know of someone who could use a card. Private message me their mailing address. Together we can pray for them. Or, better yet join our next card class to assemble greeting cards.
These die cuts are dainty. Very pretty to embellish this card. If you wish dimension to the leaves, flowers, and or butterflied ... break the paper fibers by bending/twisting the cardstock. Adhering gems in the centers of the flowers adds sparkle. Tone on tone stamping with Flirty Flamingo on Flirty Flamingo Card Stock.
LOVE is such a powerful word. A word not expressed enough. Enjoyed this being part of 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar.

Here’s an update on Jeff, our bucket calf steer. Yesterday we added another bale of corn stalk to his bed. He ran around, kicked up his heels, and was friendly as I was watching the gate, so our skid loader could get inside the pen. He made me nervous. He could have escaped! All he wanted to do was play. He loves visitors. Don’t we all.
My view after the two recent snow storms! 11” the first one and 7” the second storm. This table/chairs sit on our patio three of four seasons. Come winter it’s moved to under our crab apple tree. I continue to enjoy the thoughts of the folks who gathered around this table the past years! ! 💫✨❤️ Anxious for their return, new guests to visit, for now it’s the squirrels and birds landing spot. Did you notice the solor owl?
Every morning I begin my day with prayers. Coffee. And this view. This view brings comfort, peace knowing He has a plan, and understanding I’m living my best life right here!! Here’s hoping you have the best mindset on this day. If you need to talk. Our coffee pot is always ready to brew a fresh pot! Text or call us. Would love to share our view with you! Blessings.
