Do something creative every day. Every day I spend time honing my creativity. If I’m not able to spend time creating cards with stamps and paper each day, I spend time exploring creativity with books, music or television shows. While I was away on my week-long vacation, I wasn’t able to craft, so I’m getting back into the swing of things now and am enjoying it more than ever. Today’s crafting-themed card shares a wonderful…
Who doesn’t love to receive a for-no-particular-reason card in the mail? “Just a little note” is the perfect Today I’m excited to share a quick-and-easy, but oh-so-sweet card that features a beautiful mix of purples (Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape) and a combination of a fun stamp with a gorgeous die that surprised even me. Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders A Doily CASE. I didn’t set out to CASE a card I previously…
I periodically host challenges with my amazing InKing Royalty team of demonstrators in our private Facebook group to encourage them to create and share projects they make. The projects inspire the other members of the team, creating a big circle of inspirational shares, kind comments and community with one another. While I was away on the Greek Isles Incentive Trip, Ann Murray (one of my InKing Royalty team members) organized ten days of challenges with…
While I’m trying to get back into the swing of things after my amazing vacation, it’s nice to have some online challenges to inspire me. The more I make, the easier it will become to create. The color challenge that kicks off at FabFri this week (Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point) gave me a bright, cheery combination to make a quick, sweet card. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for…
Yesterday was the first day I’ve spent time in my craft room in more than two weeks. Although I shared projects and posts every day that I was in Europe for Stampin’ Up!’s Incentive Trip, I created most of those projects over the weeks before I left. It was great to figuratively roll up my sleeves (it’s Summer in Atlanta – I was wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt) and stamp. Here’s my card for this week’s…
I’m back from my amazing vacation with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world during Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Incentive Trip to the Greek Isles. Yesterday I shared some pictures from my trip (before the official trip kicked off) in Rome, Italy – you can see that post here. Today I’m sharing some pictures and fun memories from the rest of my trip in Greece (starting with the boat and ending with the last night…
I’m just back from an amazing, whirlwind tour of Rome, Italy followed by a cruise along the Greek Isles. As I sort through my pictures and unpack my backs, it’s hard to believe we were just there – where civilization began. The Greek Isles cruise was a reward from Stampin’ Up! for meeting certain goals during the last year. With a lot of hard work and some amazing customers and team members, I was able…
A fun sketch challenge kicks off today at the Global Design Project – the sketch puts a sentiment front-and-center on the card. I’m so in love with the sentiments in Seaside Notions that I designed my images around the sentiment to make a thoughtful thinking of you card. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Seaside Notions. I grew up by the ocean, so…
Two years ago I created a fun, layered card with the Daisy Punch that would soon become one of my most Pinned cards on Pinterest. I played around with the layers on the card with this punch. It has been so popular that I decided I should recreate the card with new colors and the new Medium Daisy Punch. Here’s my new card with the Medium Daisy Punch: The card I created with the Medium…
Last week I shared a project for the FabFriday sketch challenge that features a panel of Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper that I love. The card featured SIX new products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog. Do you remember that post? If not, you can see it here. What you don’t know, though, is that the card I shared is VERSION 2 of the card. Even while packing to go out of town, I couldn’t…
