Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day in the United States, a federal holiday when we celebrate Dr. King’s birthday and honor Dr. King’s tireless work for civil rights. While he is most known for his platform against racial segregation on public transportation and his fight for racial equality, Dr. King was also an advocate for the poor and worked to end poverty for all people. Today’s card features an inspirational sentiment – “You are…
I love to share Stampin’ Up!’s products with my blog readers, team members and customers. Today, I’m happy to share a super-fun Blog Candy Giveaway today with one lucky blog reader. Blog Candy Giveaway I’ve done it again – I double-ordered a bundle that I’m excited to play with. As I unpacked my box of goodies that arrived this week, I realized I already had the Simply Sparkling Bundle in my shelf. Doh! I don’t…
Yesterday I shared a sweet, simple card with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (if you missed that post, you can see it here). While I was sharing the card, I withheld a little secret about it – I actually made two cards and only shared one. There are so many similarities between the two cards, but there are some differences that are worth a look-see, so I’m sharing the second card today. Here’s my…
Today’s project is a simple card to share the GORGEOUS Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder – if you haven’t yet seen it, you are about to see why I love it so much! I added in a couple of other exciting, new products that look great together. Here’s the card I made to share with you today: My card features a Night of Navy panel that’s embossed with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, new…
I’m such a hypocrite. When I first saw the fun projects in Stampin’ Up!’s Spring Mini Catalog (the fun ice cream cone with a strawberry, cherry and wafer cookie), I thought, “that’s silly! no one puts those things on their soft serve ice cream.” As I sat down to play with this fun bundle, though, I couldn’t resist. My soft serve cone is covered in flowers (also makes no sense, but they sure are pretty!)….
With a little Wild Wheat ink, I stamped the bushel of roses from the Stippled Roses stamp set and cropped them with the coordinating dies. I knew which papers I wanted to use on my card, but I hadn’t decided how to showcase them and what colors to bring in, so I reached out to my InKing Royalty team members. Did I want to make a monochromatic card with just Wild Wheat? Should I add…
As soon as I saw the black-and-white pages of the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper, I knew I’d be adding a little color to the pages to give them a new look. That is exactly NOT what I did today. Today’s card stays pretty neutral, but I think you’ll like the pun I’ve showcased in front of the panels of beat-boxes and turntables. Here’s the first card I’ve made with the Rock & Roll…
Last week I shared the Designer Series Papers included in Stampin’ Up!’s January-February 2024 Sale-a-Bration brochure (if you missed my post, you can see it here). I’m a HUGE fan of Designer Series Papers, so I study these papers like there’s going to be a final exam. Today, I’m sharing a look at the papers from the Spring Mini Catalog (January-April 2024) and my favorite color combination from each. Each of the Designer Series Papers…
I love playing with new products, but I really love playing with products that are free. ♥ I love Sale-a-Bration (I may have mention that once or a thousand times), and I’m thrilled with the Designer Series Paper choices in this year’s sales event. There are several pages in the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper that immediately called my name – today I’m sharing a card I made with one of those pages. Here’s my…
I’m so excited to be playing with my new Sale-a-Bration products – and today I’m sharing a simple project I made with THREE products from Stampin’ Up!’s January-February 2024 Sale-a-Bration brochure. I only started to showcase one, but the other two poked their way into the spotlight. Here’s the card I made: Can you name all three of the Sale-a-Bration products I’ve used here? Of course you can. Just to validate your informed response, here…
