Today I’m sharing a card I designed with inspiration from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. It’s been a while since I’ve played along with an online challenge, but I really loved this one. Here’s a look at my bunny-forward Easter card: The challenge sketch features a band along the top and an oval in the middle. I turned my oval on its side, but the inspiration is there! Here’s a look at the sketch…

Stampin’ Up!’s 2023 Annual Catalog AND Spring Mini Catalog both end on April 30 this year. That means products from both of these INCREDIBLE catalogs will be retiring (or become unorderable as products sell out). It also means some products will be on sale (the sale starts April 9). Between now and April 9, you can stock up on the retiring products you love. Start by focusing on the bundled pricing that’s going away and…
Are you ready for a super-awesome fun time?! I know you are! ♥ Over the past several years, Emma Goddard and I have paired up to create and share our Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kits! We will continue to partner and create these awesome kits, but I’m going this one alone while Emma is globe-trotting and vacationing. Since Emma and I first launched the Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kits, we have shared three no-stamping kits…
My weekend has been amazing – and I couldn’t be happier about. On Friday night, I hosted my Online Exclusives Stamp-a-Long with a fun group of talented crafters. We had such a great time, and I thoroughly enjoyed stamping with these friends (remotely). We made projects with the A Little Latte Suite Collection and Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection – such fun! On Saturday afternoon, Emma Goddard and I hosted the bonus Zoom call from our…
Yesterday I shared some gift boxes I made for some amazing team members who achieved big milestones this month. If you missed that post, you can see it here. The simple gift boxes were covered with a page of the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper and tied with a Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon. So simple, but so fancy. Tucked inside each box was a coordinating 3″ x 3″ card. Here’s one of those…
If you are a fan of Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers, then you are in love with the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper that Stampin’ Up! released earlier this month. What an incredible pack of gorgeous flowers in bright, cheery colors! The moment these papers arrived at my house, I knew I’d use them decorate some team gifts I was sending out. No way to resist the charms of these sweet flowers. Here’s a look…
I’ve been eying the Cake Fancy stamp set for quite some time, but I never added it to my shopping cart. When a friend recently ordered two, I made an easy swap with her to give her one of my sets she wanted. And that is how Cake Fancy came to live with me. And we all lived happily ever after. Thanks for stopping by! I’m glad I could share that short story with you…
Every year, we are introduced to a collection of five colors that we live with for two years. We love some of the colors right out of the gate, and we grow to love some colors. As they leave, new colors come in – but we sometimes miss the colors that retire. I shared the 2024-2026 In Colors yesterday (if you missed that post, you can see it here). Today I am focusing on all…
Every year Stampin’ Up! introduces us to a set of five on-trend colors that will stick around for two years.
