The starting point for today’s card is the diamond patterned page from Woven Threads Designer Series Paper. I wanted to showcase that panel loud-and-proud on a card. I thought I’d would only feature Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose and Whisper White, but something felt flat about it. I decided to add a touch of Pear Pizzazz to bring this card to life, which is odd because Pear Pizzazz is a relatively flat, subtle color. Still, it…
I love great sentiments. When a stamp says exactly what I want it to say, then I can showcase it beautifully with a simple image or a patterned paper. There are so many great images in Stampin’ Up!’s stamp sets that it can be easy to (accidentally) overlook some to the sentiments hidden inside the stamps. That’s why I’m taking a step back to share with you some of the sentiments I love the most….
My sketch is the challenge inspiration this week at CAS(E) This Sketch, and I couldn’t be more excited. I had no ideas in mind when I submitted this sketch, but I knew exactly what I wanted to make when I sat down to create my card for this challenge. I reached for the oh-so-versatile Here’s a Card for a beautiful sentiment that pairs beautifully with the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. Here’s my sweet-and-simple card:…
Many of my Stampin’ Up! team members (not only those with blogs) share their gorgeous projects in our team’s Facebook community – there’s such amazing and inspiring creativity in this group! I’m always excited when my team’s blog hop rolls around, though, because I get to share some of their amazing work with you. I’m just as excited to see their projects as you are, and I am proud to share them with you. Welcome…
As I was about to drop Holiday Catalogs in the mail to my awesome customers, I decided to make a quick-and-easy tag to adorn the front of each book. With just a couple of punches, a little bit of gluing, some stamping and a handful of autographs, I made this sweet tag: Rhinestone Finger: (n) the physical suffering or distress to the end of one’s pointer finger caused by affixing a bunch of rhinestones to…
We have Stitched Squares, Circles, Ovals, Rectangles, Nested Labels and more. There’s one basic shape that’s been missing from our collection of stitched shapes – stars. That ends on September 4 when Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Holiday Catalog is live. Inside the pages of this amazing catalog is a set of Stitched Stars Dies that includes 23 dies. While many of the dies are stars, there are also so great accents that perfect coordinate with the…

Yesterday I shared the second project I designed and showcased for Louise Sharp’s annual Stamping by the Sea Retreat in Australia. Today I want to share some more gift card holders I’ve made with the same dies and some pictures from Louise’s incredible retreat. Let’s start with the fun pictures. Here’s the whole lot of them: And here are some smiling faces with the projects I prepared and demonstrated (via video) for the event: Here’s…
Want to see the cutest pocket to hold a gift card or business card? Of course you do – you have a creative mind that loves cool things and new adventures – it’s one of the things I love most about you. During Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event in April (when demonstrators were first introduced to the 2019 Annual Catalog), we were shown a brilliant idea with one of the new products in the catalog –…
The fun sketch this week at CAS(E) This Sketch got my mind racing. I love when there are LOTS of options to recreate a sketch in my own view. The wavy band across this sketch gave me the perfect opportunity to ink up Making Christmas Bright, a stamp set from last year’s Holiday Catalog that carried over into this year’s Annual Catalog. Yay! Here’s my card: That’s right! These products aren’t from the upcoming Holiday…
