Joanne James is hosting this week’s Paper Players color challenge – Mint Macaron, Emerald Envy and Real Red. What a beautiful combination. I initially thumbed through my Presents and Pinecones Designer Series Paper before realizing that paper is designed with Cherry Cobbler. I could have argued for my “artistic license,” but I wanted to honor her selections. I went with bold, graphic and simple. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the challenge that…
At last week’s OnStage event in Atlanta, Stampin’ Up! demonstrators were able to preview the 2017 Occasions Catalog (runs January 4 through May 31) and the 2017 Sale-a-Bration brochure (runs January 4 – March 31). Both books are filled with amazing, new products that will surely make it to your “must have” list. The Falling in Love Suite is filled with gorgeous papers, ribbons, embellishments and stamps that are perfect for weddings and anniversaries. The…
Earlier this week I shared my 3-D swap for our World Card Making Day event – it was a cute tag for a jar of hot cocoa. Remember? If not, you can see it here. Today, I’m excited to share the ribbon wreath Mom made for the event. Mom joined Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator so that she’d be able to attend the OnStage Live event last weekend. What fun! Since there’s no risk associated,…
Yesterday I shared a purple, green and yellow Christmas card that features the Merry Tags Framelits Dies – did you see it? If you missed it, you can see it here. Today, I’m sharing one of the great sentiments from the stamp set that coordinates with the dies (and offered as a bundle with a 10% savings). I’ve paired the sentiment with pages from Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks…
This week’s Fab Friday Color Challenge – the 100th challenge!!! – was pulled right from the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper, the most Fall-themed stack of papers in Stampin’ Up!’s 2016 Holiday Catalog. While I used the paper, I also took a Christmas-themed spin on the colors. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card:Tips, Tricks and Reminders A Sweet Sentiment. Or, should I say A Suite…
I’ve always been fascinated with Mason Jar gifts – it feels so “back to basics.” Cakes, cookies and cocoa are wonderful treats, but there’s something really cool about giving these in a way that allows the recipient to cook the ingredients when they are good-and-ready to enjoy them. The “mix-and-mingle” opening of our World Card Making Day event included a 3-D Holiday Gift idea. We walked around the room, sharing what we made and ogling…
Yesterday I shared my recap of our World Card Making Day event. What a blast! Pam and I were both left exhausted – but smiling. If you missed my post, you can see it here. That event was held on Friday with almost 200 of our favorite people on Earth. On Saturday, Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event was held in the same convention center as our event from the day before. Today I want to share…
As many of you know, Pam (my amazing upline) and I have hosted a World Card Making for the past three years. This past weekend marked our fourth. While World Card Making Day is the first weekend of October, we pushed back our event a month to coincide with Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event here in Atlanta. Almost 200 demonstrators showed up to our event – today I’m sharing a quick recap in pictures. Let’s start…
Before I share my project for this week’s Color Challenge at the Global Design Project, I want to give a big, huge “THANKS!” to everyone who played along with my CASE the Designer Challenge last week. It was a tough week for many Stampin’ Up! demonstrators – what with travel and preparations related Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage events all across the world – but so many of you showed up and played along. I loved reading…
This is my second post today – if you missed the cards I made for our World Card Making Day helpers, you can click here. I’m back to remind you of some of Stampin’ Up!’s most recent promotions and to share the winner of Friday’s Blog Candy giveaway – after an overwhelming number of comments. What fun! There are TWO amazing Stampin’ Up! promotions running now – and you don’t want to miss out on…
