Yesterday I shared pictures and color combinations with the swaps I created for the Paper Pixies Team Meeting (Julie DiMatteo’s Stampin’ Up! team). If you missed that post, you can see it here. Julie is a member of my InKing Royalty team (as are most of her team members), and she invited me to her team’s gathering. How could I pass up such an event?! What fun! Playing with the New In Colors Pam Morris…
On Monday I shared a sneak peek at the Happy Birthday Thinlits Die, a single die with a huge impact. If you missed that post, you can see it here. At the same time that I was designing that card, I was asked to create ten swaps for Julie DiMatteo’s Paper Pixies team meeting (Julie is a member of my InKing Royalty team, and she invited Pam and me to join them during their meeting). …

I chose to make a fun birthday card with Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe. I incorporated a sneak peek…
The CAS(E) This Sketch Design Team generates some wonderfully simple sketches that are a perfect starting point for so many of my projects. This week’s sketch is perfectly simple – which is perfect for me. I’m happiest when I can crank out a sweet, simple card that looks amazing. I was even happier to have the Pieces & Patterns stamp set and Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper (from Stampin’ Up!’s upcoming Annual Catalog) to…

Stampin’ Up! will be “early releasing” two bundles of products from the brand new Eastern Palace Suite starting Monday, May 1. Both bundles include stamps, inks, papers and accessories that you NEED – and both are only available through May 31.
