I’m back, y’all! After a busy move, I’ve missed sharing Mystery Monday Stamping with you, and I’m so happy to be crafting together again. Thank you for your patience while I got settled in—it feels great to be back with my stamping friends!
For this Mystery Monday, we created a beautiful, fun-fold card featuring layers, Designer Series Paper, and a striking focal point with a vase and flowers. The best part of Mystery Monday is that everyone’s card turns out unique, depending on the paper and colors you choose.
If you couldn’t join us live, don’t worry—you can still play along! Below you’ll find the First Clue (sent out on Sunday) along with the condensed clues so you can recreate the project anytime.

Pro Tip from sharon:
One of the BEST parts of Mystery Monday is that you don’t have to follow every clue exactly—sometimes the magic happens when you Just Go Rogue!
My two rules for Mystery Stamping are simple:
- No Stress – This is your creative playtime. Don’t overthink it, just enjoy the process.
- Just Go Rogue – If a clue sparks a different idea, follow it! Change up the paper, add an extra layer, flip the layout—make it YOURS.
Stampers tell me all the time how freeing it is to be “given permission” to go rogue. And honestly? Those cards are often the most creative and inspiring of all!
