I love the clash between orange and pink. Whether it’s soft mix of pink and orange (like a sorbet or a sunset) or a bright mix of pink and orange (like a bouquet of roses or a flamingo), these two colors never seem like they should look great together (but always do). This week’s color challenge at FabFriday pushed me to make a bright, Fall-themed card with this fun mix of Pumpkin Pie and Melon…
I’ve been reaching for my Winter Woods stamp set (and coordinating In the Woods Dies) a lot lately. Maybe it’s because I’m hoping for the Summer weather to be over? The trees are beautiful – there’s no denying it. Here’s my card with the gorgeous Winter Woods stamp set: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Winter Woods & Jolly Season Dies. I’ve been reaching for my…
In June, I hosted Brian’s 2019-2021 In Color Bundles where customers could purchase all of the new In Color products with a small discount and gift from me. These Brian’s Bundles were mailed out without Purple Posy ink or ink refills due to quality issues with the Purple Posy ink (Stampin’ Up! removed the soft purple ink from the online store until they could get it right). Guess what! They got it right – and…
If someone is incredible, then they deserve to hear it. What better way to share that news than with a bright, shiny card filled with peacock feathers?! When I made this card, I knew the recipient would appreciate the time and effort I put into cutting all these feathers and applying them to the card base. I had fun with this one! ♥ Here’s my card that features products from Stampin’ Up!’s Noble Peacock Suite:…
I’ve used two of the sentiments from the Merry Moose stamp set on cards I have shared with you here, but today is the first time I’ve inked up and punched out my merry moose. He was a perfect star for this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge. Rather than surrounding him with jolly, seasonal colors, I gave my moose a very brown environment that’s filled with peaceful, warm colors. Here’s my card: And here’s…
A Stampin’ Up! demonstrator pre-order for an incredible, new bundle started on October 1. The Christmastime is Here Bundle will be available to customers on November 1. The new Paper Trimmer by Stampin’ Up! was also released to demonstrators on the same day. How exciting is that?! I wouldn’t normally share sneak peeks at new products this far before you can actually buy them, but…maybe this is the perfect time for you to sign up…
When my local stamp club met last weekend, each of the club members was greeted with a tiny treat at their workspace (or should we call it playspace?) The treat holders were quickly pulled together with the stamps and dies in the Tiny Keepsakes Bundle and the GORGEOUS Wrapped in Plaid 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at the treats: Aren’t they adorable?! These treat holders a a bit smaller than…
I prepared fun Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas projects for my local stamp club this past weekend. We enjoyed all of them. One project was a special request from a club member – she wanted to make “something” with the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper. I also wanted to introduce them to other products in the Toile Tidings Suite, so we made this 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Beautiful Bundles. The wreath at the…
The very moment I saw Donna Mikasa’s sketch for this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge, I knew I’d be playing with the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper. The paper is festooned with glittery elements – on the hats in the paper I used below). I don’t love glitter (you already know that), but this paper snuck into my Fungeon, and it’s adorable so I figured I should put it on a card. Here’s…
I met with my local stamp club this past weekend (their first since Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Catalog was released), so we covered Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in one fun class. I’m exited to share a super-cute Spooktacular Bash treat holder we made with Kraft Pillow Boxes from page 172 of the Annual Catalog and some great products from the Monster Bash Suite on page 53 of the Holiday Catalog. Here’s the fun treat box we…
