Keeping One Plus Twelve Alive in '25 - March

The 3rd of each month is a special day here on my blog - it's the day that Kelly (the founder of this series), Barb, and I share our One Plus Twelve cards. The idea is to use the same ONE stamp (not a set) each month to create a card. Sentiments can be used, too, if we choose.

We started this series in 2019, so this is our 7th year. 

My ONE stamp this year is the bloom from the Gina K Modern Floral stamp set


You can see Barb's and Kelly's cards on Instagram as well as their blogs...

Farewell Technique Junkies

Today is a difficult day. I've often heard the saying All good things must come to an end but I'm not sure I think that's true. Perhaps it is. I know I definitely don't like it. For instance, I don't like it when good stamp companies close their doors. Technique Junkies is closing their doors on March 15. 

I am happy for Pat, she's earned retirement and I hope it is everything she wants it to be and even more. But with her retirement we stampers have one less place to purchase awesome stamps. That makes me sad.

Since this is my last blog post as a member of the Technique Junkies design team I struggled with which stamp to use. There are so many wonderful ones in my stash. I ended up choosing one that I had even before I was asked to join the design team - Like a Teacup.

Unfortunately, this stamp was still available when I made my card - and by the time I put together my blog post a day later, the stamp was sold out. UGH! That's why you need to head to Technique Junkies right now and buy anything you want. At 75% off! Hurry!

It has been a joy to serve on the Technique Junkies design team. I hope at some point during my tenure I've nudged you to shop - and at least inspired you to take a look at their products. 

Thank you, Pat, for allowing me this great honor!
