Yesterday I shared a sweet 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ with a new stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions Catalog. The colors at this week’s Global Design Project (Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist and Crumb Cake) are perfect for a sweet Spring-themed card. Because they are also perfect for a sweet Valentine’s Day card, I created a second project with the colors, using soon-to-be-retired products from the 2017 Holiday Catalog. What fun! Here’s my simple card:…
This is my second post today – if you missed my Hanging Garden card for Global Design Project, please check it out here. I normally stick to one post each day – unless there’s something amazing to report. With today’s Free Shipping promotion, there’s something amazing to report – so here I am. Stampin’ Up! is giving us a FREE SHIPPING day today! No minimum order required. What a wonderful gift! I know you have…
Lots of great things to share today! For starters, Stampin’ Up! is giving us a FREE SHIPPING day today! What a wonderful gift! I can’t think of a year when we’ve had TWO free shipping days – this is a first (the first one as in November). I know you have a wish list that you keep updating over and over – so all you have to do is grab that list and place your…
Although we were shocked to receive 4 inches of snow this weekend (that’s about 4 inches more than we get each year in Atlanta!), I was busy playing with some of my new stamps from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions Catalog. Bright, cheery colors with beautiful florals – that’s what I was doing to offset the cold, strange snow. Today I’m playing along with this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch challenge. Here’s my simple card: And here’s…
Before I share today’s card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I want to give a big “thank you” to Narelle Farrugia who selected my Color Me Happy from last week’s challenge. You can see that post here. I love playing along with online challenges – they give me a great starting point for a card (a wonderful layout or a great color combination or a fun inspiration). It’s always an honor to be…
We’re doing something FUN at the FabFriday Challenge this week – while normally host color and sketch challenges, we are kicking off a theme challenge that will last for two weeks. Such a fun challenge since we already know you are creating and sharing for the upcoming Holidays. 🙂 I had to give my Festive Phrases elf one last inking – here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the FabFriday theme challenge that inspired…
I love playing with colors – and Stampin’ Up! gives us the best colors to play with as we create beautiful cards for every occasion. Today I’m sharing a new look at some great, traditional Christmas colors. While there are some amazing non-traditional colors for Christmas (the crisp blues, the shiny grays, the neutral neutrals), I’m sticking with the options for greens and reds today. Since there is larger variety of greens in the current…
I work a full-time job outside of Stampin’ Up!. As Director of Corporate Accounting for Cox Enterprises, I manage a wonderful team of accountants who work hard every day. As a surprise to them, my boss and I hosted a year-end meeting yesterday to celebrate their achievements for the year and let them know how much we appreciate their dedication. We purchased delicious pound cakes from a local bakery and handed them out during the…
Leaders at OnStage were treated to a special dinner and training to help us continue to build our business. We also received some wonderful gifts – one of those gifts is the Flying Home stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions Catalog. The set features a collection of sweet bird houses – I colored the houses and showcased the images on a simple card. Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Flying Home. What an…
I adore the entire team of designers at the Global Design Project. There’s a boatload of talent and a ton of kindness in this group. One of my favorite challenges is to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) a project that one of the designers has made. Inspiration can be pulled from the layout, the colors, the theme, the images, the sentiments – must I go on? This week’s designer is Jenneke de Jong – my…
