This past week, I showed you Pam’s Welcome Home card with its beautiful hills and tiny, little houses – see it here. When I shared it, I promised you I’d show you the fun and easy technique for adding a quick landscape to your card. Have I ever lied to you? Today, I’m going to show you her technique. I’m also going to share some new Stampin’ Up! promotions. You don’t want to miss any…
Thank you so much to everyone who placed orders with me this past week. You are really loving this new catalog, and that makes me very happy. I put a lot of names in the drawing basket today, which also makes me very happy…but not nearly as happy as today’s Hostess with the Mostest, our Mystery Hostess is revealed, and she is… Congratulations to Deb Schafer from Aurora, Illinois. Let’s all give a big WOO HOO for Deb! Deb, this was…
Flower Shop is one of the most versatile new stamp sets in the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog – and it has a coordinating punch to boot. There are some tricks to using the punch that I want so share with you, but first, I want to share a birthday card I made with the set: Tips, Tricks and Reminders: Core’dinations revisited. Earlier this week, I shared a card I made with Core’dinations cardstock (see it here). I’m using…
I havesome amazing friends. I’ve worked really hard all year – and have enjoyed every minute of it. While my mind races with new ideas and fun projects, my hands and feet are stuggling to keep up. 🙂 When I started meeting certain sales and recruiting goals a couple of months ago, I received some very special cards from some very special friends. I want to share a couple of those with you today. Nicole Watt I first…
When I list the reasons why people make cards, I think of Christmas cards, birthday cards, thank you cards, baby cards and wedding cards. Stampin’ Up! has these cards fully covered in the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog – lots of great things to choose from. What’s missing? There are no current “we’ve moved” or “welcome to the neighborhood” stamps. That seems like another big card-making celebration. Yet, we have nothing (not even in MDS) – OR…
I needed a quick-and-easy card for my Open House last week. Going into the workshop, I knew I wanted to feature Stampin’ Up!’s Mosaic Madness products (stamp set, punch and embossing folder), and I knew I wanted to showcase Core’dinations Card Stock. If you haven’t tried Core’dinations, this is your chance. With the new Annual Catalog, Stampin’ Up! offers Core’dinations cardstock in each of the four color families. Win! Here’s the card we made in my…

A couple of weeks ago, I shared a card I made with You’re My Hero, an adorable and new stamp set from the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog. Unfortunately, it was Day 2 of the great Power Outage of Colt Drive, so my card was assembled by the light of a gas lantern, and the photograph relied solely on the flash of my phone. If you missed it, you can see it here (just wanted to set you…
Dear Diary, What an incredible weekend I just had! I want to share some of it with you, Diary, because you always listen to what I say and never judge me for my crazy thoughts (it’s kinda’ your job, Diary, and I appreciate it!). Saturday was the Shoebox Swap that Pam, Deb and I planned. We were so happy with the turnout, so I want to share a couple of pictures with you. I was thrilled with the…
I love the crisp and beautiful wedding-themed images in Just Married, a stamp set that was introduced in the 2013 Spring Catalog. It wasn’t until the set made its way into the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog that I finally ordered it. I’ve always been hyper-focused on the multi-tiered wedding cake, but my mind went right to the two pairs of shoes the moment I saw this sketch from Nance Leedy, this week’s challenge from The Paper…
