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 […]

Happy New Catalog Year!

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 […]

Last Chance Stampin’ Up!

Posted: Wednesday, April 26th, 2023 @ 10:02 am in Projects | No Comments »

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 […]

6×6 Paper and a Curvy Pop-Up Card

Posted: Wednesday, April 12th, 2023 @ 2:39 pm in Projects | No Comments »

I have been using a lot of the 6×6 packs of Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! The papers are easy to use and just gorgeous. So many are retiring this month that I had to give them a shout out. Stampin’ Up! DSP (as we call it): Is often designed to coordinate with a […]

Faux Silk Technique

Since the Ten Years of Growth Paper Pumpkin kit had some shiny gold tissue paper, I thought it was time to dust off this old technique. Faux Silk is usually done with white tissue paper but I went rogue and tried it in the gold and also in the light blue that usually comes with […]

Card Making with Coordination

Posted: Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022 @ 5:52 pm in Projects | No Comments »

Stampin’ Up! has product coordination at it’s best. I’m in love with the new Flitting Florets Collection. It’s about time we had some new oval frame dies and these do not disappoint. Including both simple and ornate oval dies, the possible projects are endless. And of course the Designer Paper (always my favorite) is so […]

Easy Layouts – Fall and Winter Cards

I had such fun at our recent Craft Retreat. I even got some projects done to share with you. This is another Twofer layout – use the extra piece from one card to make a second. For this fun Halloween card, I die cut a partial circle and used it on the other card, adding […]

Throwback Thursday: This is the last week for the Weekly Deals specials. I loved shopping this month for some embellishments to use on my projects. Here’s one of my favorites that I blogged about last year – 3 Ways to use Gilded Leafing complete with VIDEO. And here’s a photo of all the deals this […]

Today is the last day to grab your SALE-A-bration freebies (such as this Amazing Phrasing stamp set) in my store. I had a great time last week at #STAMPINUPBACKSTAGE in New Orleans. Here are 2 swap cards I brought back featuring the beautiful Texture Chic Suite. This Suite has paper and stamp images for all […]

The Stampin’ Up! Summer SALE-a-bration (SAB) is soon coming to an end. I have one last Hippest Hippo card to share and then will be showcasing some more SAB freebies. This card was made totally with leftover pieces! I shared my Hippo – COW in this post, but I never added her or these die […]
