The lovely blue patterns of the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper are just a joy to create with. I did a paper share with my customers and need to order more of all the papers on sale for another round. We loved them all! Email me if you would like to participate in the next […]

I like to keep one or 2 packages on hand of all the Stampin’ Up! colors. I will part with these retired packs for $9 each plus shipping. Just email me at [email protected] with your shopping list. I will be shipping from 16506 to US only. 8-1/2 x 11 – 24 sheets: 1 Pear Pizzazz […]

Last month, Stampin’ Up! had a sketch challenge for us. Working from a card sketch is a great way to spark your creativity while using supplies you have on hand. I used the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and the masking technique for my challenge card. I made my mask out of a sticky all over […]

It was wonderful to spend the last week in Norway with 305 other demonstrators. Fewer than 1% of demonstrators have achieved this rare accomplishment and the celebration was unforgettable! Stampin’ Up! treated us to a fabulous experience, but the best part was being together with demonstrators from all over the world. Maybe the incentive trip […]

I love it when I can maximize my fancy paper to make multiples of cards. It saves both time and money! Here’s a fun series of layouts that I came up with using just one strip of 4″ x 12″ patterned paper to make 3 different cards. Multiply that by 3 and you get 9 […]

Did you see the Tropical Leaf Bundle in the Online Exclusives? It’s not in any Stampin’ Up! catalog, so it’s easy to miss. And it’s easy to play with too, since this is a punch bundle. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee on how long it will be available, so if it looks fun, check out […]

Have you checked out the Online Exclusives in the Stampin’ Up! store? You will be happy to see the Brushed Metallic Specialty paper. It is so shiny and fun that photos that do not do it justice. I made 4 cards using the Dry Brushed Metallic paper as a background. You can see that it […]

The new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog went live this week. It looks like the favorite product Suite right now is Fresh as a Daisy. I also have a fondness for two of the new bundles – Circle Sayings and Crafting with You (see links below). Here’s a look at the easy #simplestamping notecard that we […]

It’s always sad when we say goodbye to favorite Stampin’ Up! products. This is my last post before both the Annual and Minicatalogs retire so I’ll try to squeeze in some final projects for you to CASE. Some of the Designer Series Papers have already sold out, and the Fancy Flora paper above is in […]

I’ll be taking my Memories & More cards along to my craft retreat for scrapbooking, but they also make really quick cards when you need a bunch like I do this month. I love the matching Cards & Envelopes, because they are slightly larger than the usual size. That is great for mailing photos or […]
