A Perfect Pair: The Right Words & Floral Charm

The Right Words, Floral Charm Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!, Brian King

I know a good thing when I see it—so it was love at first sight with the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusives product added in July) and The Right Words stamp set (featured in the 2025 Annual Catalog).

Fright Night Meets Fall: A Spooky-Chic Card

Fright Night Bundle, Stampin' Up!, Brian King, Halloween card

After a delicious brunch yesterday, we wandered into HomeGoods in search of a couple of odds and ends. The place was bursting with Halloween and Fall décor – aisles upon aisles of pumpkins, candles, and spooky delights. We had no plans to indulge … but somehow left with kitchen towels, two glass pumpkins, and a hauntingly fun candlestick holder. Clearly, the Halloween spirit had followed me home – because when I sat down to create,…

Happy Birthday, Auntie Carole!

Not 29 Anymore, Choose Happy, Stampin' Up!, Brian King, fun birthday card

My mom and her older sister, Carole, are more than just sisters – they’re best friends. Even though they live in different cities, they talk every single day – catching up on their lives, solving the world’s problems, and (most importantly) dissecting every Braves game pitch by pitch. Their conversations about baseball are long, lively, and passionately opinionated. One of my favorite traditions between them? The exchange of hilariously over-the-top birthday cards every year –…
