This is my second post today. If you missed my Embellished Ornaments for this week’s Global Design Project, please be sure to check it out here. Not only am I excited to share this project, but it’s “CASE Brian King” week over at GDP, so I hope you’ll play along with us. 🙂 I’ve been telling you about Stampin’ Up!’s amazing Online Extravaganza for the past couple of days. The sale is book-ended with great…
One of my favorite challenges from the Global Design Project is our “CASE the Designer” challenge. Every fourth week, our card-making inspiration is based on a project by one of our Design Team Members. What fun! This week, I am honored that the team and challenge participants will CASE (Copy and Share Everything) one of my cards. It’s easy – you can draw your inspiration from the stamp set, the layout, the color choices, the…
It’s a wonderful day when Stampin’ Up! announces an amazing sales promotion – and this one is pretty spectacular! Starting tomorrow, everyone earns up to 50% off on select items during Stampin’ Up!’s Online Extravaganza. Who doesn’t love that!?! What’s better than a huge blowout sale? A huge blowout sale that’s book-ended with amazing, one-day only sales (there’s one on the first day and one on last day). Yippee! Click on the link below for…
I have a soft place in my heart for the images in Stampin’ Up!’s All Ye Faithful stamp set. To me, the sketched images appear to be wooden figurines. As such, I don’t add a lot of color to the figures – instead, I tend to lean toward the blacks and browns when designing a project with them. That’s exactly what I did when I made this card with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus for…
Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? Not in my book! I adore the Snow Place stamp set with its adorable snowmen and penguins (dress-up has never been so fun), and I LOVE the combination of aqua blues with reds. For today’s card, I brought all of those together with a peekaboo snowman and a mashup of Lost Lagoon and Real Red. Here’s my card: Because there are two great challenges…
As soon as I saw this week’s Pals Paper Arts sketch, I knew what sentiment I’d be using, but I wasn’t 100% sure where that sentiment would take me. The sketch calls for three circles (or shapes) – and I thought it would be a perfect way for me to use the “ho ho ho” stamp from the Oh, What Fun stamp set. Since there’s a Christmas themed challenge over at the Global Design Project,…
Last week, I shared a fun card that transformed a striped Designer Series Paper into a fun pattern. Although I thought my instructions were straightforward, I received many requests for further explanation. While I’m not always able to offer a video, I really wanted y’all to see this, so I filmed it for you. Aren’t I the greatest?! Here’s the card I shared (you can click on the picture below to see the original post):…
Doesn’t it seem like Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Catalog was JUST revealed? It sure feels that way to me. Well, we are in the second half of November, and that means two things: (1) the Holiday Catalog will be wrapping up soon and (2) you need to pick up some amazing products from this incredible catalog before they are gone. We’ve never seen a Retiring List outside of the release of the Annual Catalog, so this…
Can you believe we are already on our ELEVENTH challenge for Global Design Project? If you haven’t been popping over to check out the projects by our Design Team or challenge participants, you are missing out. What an amazing collection of designs by talented artists! This week’s Challenge is a Theme Challenge – Christmas! I’ve been knee-deep in Christmas cards, so this challenge comes at a perfect time. Here’s my card for this week’s Global…
I’m thrilled to be hopping along with the Crazy Crafters, Kylie Bertucci’s amazing team of stampers in Australia, for their November Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. What an honor to be asked!

You may just be starting the blog hop here or may have come…
