Elegant Pine Snowflakes From the moment I was first introduced to the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Suite Collection, I was in love. What a brilliant idea – a delicate snowflake built from pine branches, combining two timeless symbols of winter! Add in the gorgeous greens featured in this suite, and I knew I had to create with it right away. Here’s the card I made to share with you today: Building the Snowflake My snowflake design…

A Very Special Gifted Card I’m excited today to share a gorgeous card I was gifted while at Stampin’ Up!’s home office last week – what a special treat! But first, I want to address the thing that’s at the top of everyone’s minds today… When I mentioned on Tuesday that I had selected a beautiful tea pot and mugs for my Tiffany & Company shopping spree, I didn’t yet have them in hand. I…
Day Two of My Special Retreat Yesterday I shared a series of pictures and stories about last week’s trip to Salt Lake City for my Stampin’ Up! Million Sales Retreat*. The company and its employees were so hospitable, showering us with sneak peeks, upcoming specials, and behind-the-scenes walkthroughs of marketing, product design, and event development. The entire trip was filled with incredible energy. If you missed yesterday’s post, you can catch up here. *legal disclaimer:…
A Very Special Retreat I have thoroughly enjoyed every stop along my Stampin’ Up! journey so far. Over the years, I’ve attended many events, and Stampin’ Up! has always done an incredible job of recognizing demonstrators and making us feel truly special. Their attention to detail is always phenomenal! I just returned from this year’s Million Sales Achievers Retreat in Salt Lake City, Utah – and for so many reasons, it was an unforgettable trip….
Welcome to my Week in Review! Each Sunday, I like to share a quick recap for those who don’t follow along every day—and a little extra behind-the-scenes for those who do. But first, here’s a peek at my week outside of the projects I’ve shared on my blog … More About My Incredible Week What an INCREDIBLE week this has been! When I passed my $1 million in sales milestone earlier this year*, I knew I…
Welcome to DAY 2 of Ms. Goldie’s 100th birthday card! This card is so special it took me two days to share everything I wanted to share about it. The background panel on my card is not Designer Series Paper—yet every element I used to make it is available from Stampin’ Up!. Intrigued?! Today’s post gives you a step-by-step walkthrough of how to create your own faux wood panels. First, here’s another look at yesterday’s…
Special birthdays call for special birthday cards. When my friend Liz told me her mom was turning 100 this week, I immediately sat down to create something worthy of such a milestone. Here’s the card I designed to celebrate Ms. Goldie’s special birthday: I tried so many ways to add “100” to the card (trust me—there were numbers cut out all over my desk), but in the end I decided the card was more special…
Since my box of new Stampin’ Up! products arrived, I’ve been itching to play. You know I love Fall and Fall colors, so I couldn’t wait to dive in and make this card to share with you. My project today features four brand new products – the Gathering Moments Bundle, the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Branching Out Dies, and the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. Here’s my card: The Gathering Together Suite Collection,…
Emma Goddard is an incredibly talented and kind demonstrator in the UK, and we’ve been great friends for a several years. Emma and I have very similar (and also very different) styles with the cards we make. While she features a lot of beautiful flowers and loves to incorporate lots of ribbon and embellishments on her projects, I mostly create bold, graphic designs with many layers. At the end of the card-building process, though, we…
