The holiday season will be here before we know it. And along with putting up the Christmas tree and spending snowy nights by the fire, many of our Paper Pumpkin subscribers will be looking forward to opening their holiday kit. Christmastime paper crafting with Paper Pumpkin has become an annual tradition! I don’t often post about Paper Pumpkin (Stampin’ Up!’s project kits) for two reasons: (1) we don’t always have a hint of what’s to…

This week’s Global Design Project challenge offers an un-seasonal color combination – Blueberry Bushel, Call me Clover and Real Red. Even with these primary colors, I was able to make a sweet Christmas card with the Playful Penguins. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Playful Penguins. I wasn’t really sold on the Playful Penguins stamp set until I saw the samples presented in…
There are two types of Halloween projects I love – adorable projects that show the childlike side of the holiday and projects that are elegant, classic beauties (the more it doesn’t look like a Halloween project, the better). That’s the look I was going for when I pulled together today’s card. Here’s a look at my elegant Halloween card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Spooky Treats. The Spooktacular Bash Bundle meets both of my Halloween requirements…
Every year, Stampin’ Up! introduces us to five new colors that are available for two years. These trendy In Colors are one of the most exciting secrets around the release of each catalog. When Stampin’ Up! introduced us to the 2019-2020 In Colors in June, we were collectively excited by the gorgeous colors. One thing was missing, though – due to quality issues with the Purple Posy ink, Stampin’ Up! was forced to remove the…
I’ve been fangirling (I can fangirl, right?) over the Feels Like Frost 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper since it first made its way into my life. I LOVE the gorgeous patterns in this pack of paper – the photo-real pages are PERFECT for this time of year and are beautifully coordinated with Stampin’ Up!’ colors. I was excited to showcase this snowy tree branch from Feels Like Frost for this week’s FabFriday sketch…
As a member of the CAS(E) This Sketch Design Team, I can submit sketch suggestions for CAS(E) This Sketch challenges. What fun! When I submitted my suggestions early this past summer, I didn’t know what products would be in our 2019 Holiday Catalog. Lucky for me, there’s an incredible suite dedicated to beautiful plaids – I reached for products in the Perfectly Plaid Suite for my project. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for…

I want to tell you a little story today about an incredibly talented woman who I’ve known for a very long time. For purposes of this story, let’s just call her “Mom.” When Mom makes the journey from Charleston, South Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia, she and I often spend lots of time stamping in the Fungeon (that’s the whimsical name I’ve given my stamping basement – it’s a bit of a dungeon, but it’s always…
It’s time for another CASE the Designer Challenge from the Global Design Project. There are so many places to find inspiration for the projects we make – I love the opportunity to create a project that’s inspired by the art of my fellow team members on GDP. Always a joy! This week we are CASEing my good friend, Krista Frattin, from Canada. What fun! Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the challenge that…
