When I need to make an impactful card and don’t have a lot of time to create it, I often start with a Designer Series Paper I love and go from there. Sympathy cards can be difficult to make, and sometimes simplicity is the best. That’s why I reached for Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper and a gorgeous sentiment to make this card for someone in pain. Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Two…
I love to collect and use Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers. What a great way to find inspiration for our projects! The colors and patterns pair perfectly with other products we love. Since the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper debuted with Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog, I have shared several projects that showcase its colors and patterns in a variety of projects. I’m excited to share a bit more about these papers today. I…
Today’s card for the FabFriday sketch challenge looks very Autumn-y at first glance. While you might think that these products were pulled from Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Holiday Catalog, they were not. All of these products come from Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog that was released in June. Here’s my card: And here’s the sketch for the challenge that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Royal Peacock. Imagine my excitement when I first saw the…

My life has completely changed since the day I signed up to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. Not only have I been able to travel the world on a variety of incentive trips, but I’ve befriended so many incredible people from all corners of the world that I would have, otherwise, not had the opportunity to meet. I’ve loved the perks of being a demonstrator – sneak peeks, early orders and great events tailored to…
It’s time for another CASE the Designer Challenge with 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 one of our talented team members, Janneke de Jong, from the Netherlands. What fun! My card for this fun challenge…
What do you do on a beautiful day in Atlanta on the heals of a really long work week? After an impromptu lunch with family and a short nap with the bedroom door open, I popped downstairs to make a quick card that I conceived of during the short nap. Given the nature of the gorgeous day, it makes sense, too, that the card is created with Beautiful Day and a bold combinations of colors…
Last Saturday, I shared some of the projects my awesome InKing Royalty team shared while I was away for Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Incentive Trip to the Greek Isles (you can see those projects here). To thank my team members who completed the challenge for playing along, I mailed out a little gift with a simple, adorable card I made for them. Here’s the note card I sent: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Dinoroar Suite. I dare…
Over the years, I’ve hosted events in Atlanta to engage Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the United States. The days are filled with fun stamping inspiration, games, swaps and giveaways. It’s a lot of work to pull together an event like this, but it’s such a joy to share with others! These events started as a World Card Making Day celebration (the first Saturday in October) back in 2013 that included 25 team members….
