Handmade products are all the rage today – everyone wants to get their hands on items that are hand-cut, hand-sewn or hand-crafted. The “stitched look” is all the rage, and Stampin’ Up! is keeping us all in stitches. Today I’m going to point out all of the products in Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog that have a stitched element, and I’m going to share some projects I’ve made with these fun, on-trend products. Stitched Products…
Whenever I need a simple card (and when I need it fast), I always reach for Designer Series Paper. Designer Series Paper makes our jobs easy, giving us beautiful colors and patterns that can do most of the work for us. I reached for my Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper to make this quick “thank you/adore you” card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Pressed Petals and Moments with You. I love, love, love this sentiment…
Simple things can be so beautiful. Since the moment I first held Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog in my hands, I couldn’t wait to ink up Soft Spring, a new Two-Step Stampin’ Host Stamp Set. The flowers are so soft and artistically drawn. I knew they would be perfect for this week’s Global Design Project color challenge, so I had the perfect reason to ink up this gorgeous set. Here’s my simple, layered card: And…
I love to collect and use Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers. What a great way to find inspiration for our projects! The colors and patterns pair perfectly with other products we love.

I’m excited to share a bit more about these papers today. I…
On Sunday I shared stories and pictures from my super-fun morning outing with Candy Ford and Julie DiMatteo, my InKing Royalty team members who earned Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Incentive Trip to Greece. To recognize these amazing ladies, I took them out this weekend for massages and a delightful lunch. If you missed that post, you can see it here. While the day was all about treating Candy and Julie to a fun experience, I also…
The Fab Friday sketch challenge that kicks off today gave me the chance to combine SIX new products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog – three new dies, two new papers and one new stamp set. Can you name all of the new products? I know you can. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card: I don’t like to keep you waiting – even though I’m certain you…
Yesterday I shared inspiration for a variety of July 4 cards, including cards that focus on Celebrations, Patriotic Cards and Outdoor Fun. If you missed that post, you can see it here. For the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge that kicks off today, I created a card that balances simple shapes for a card that can be made in a variety of colors. Since today is July 4, I made my card with patriotic colors and…
Happy July 3, my friends! In the United States, we are about to celebrate the annual birthday for our country. Since many of us enjoy the day off from work, many families spend the afternoon at picnics and cookouts. Many towns sponsor big parades and host fireworks shows at night. I couldn’t find a “Happy 243rd birthday!” stamp, so I pulled some great cards that showcase celebrations patriotic themes & colors outdoor fun Are you…
I always love the opportunity to share the Stampin’ Up! experience with others. While a handful of my team members are running businesses with their Stampin’ Up! demonstratorship, the vast majority are simply enjoying the discount on the products they love, creating beautiful paper projects for friends and enjoying the community in our InKing Royalty Facebook group. Amazing people from all over the United States have signed up for the discount – and they’ve stayed…
