This week, the Global Design Project team is honoring our super-talented design team member Tanja Kolar. Week after week, Tanja (a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Germany) shares her fun and artistic projects with us. It’s always fun to see what Tanja makes. This week, the challenge is CASEing one of Tanja’s projects – and I hope you’ll want to play along. Here’s my card for this week’s challenge: And here’s Tanja’s fun project that inspired…
Is there an appropriate card to send to a friend who didn’t get an offer on the job they interviewed for? How about when your wonderful neighbor tells you they are moving? What about when your child gets her first speeding ticket? Yipes. Today I’m sharing a card that will fit each of these scenarios perfectly. Sometimes, a silly card can break the ice a bit for you to let someone else know how sorry…
Linda Callahan is having quite a week online. Not only is she hosting the Pals Paper Arts sketch this week (I shared my Foxy Friends Christmas project on Thursday – see it here), but she’s also hosting the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Linda’s design for Freshly Made Sketches got me to reach for Helping Me Grow, a sleeper stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s 2016 Occasions Catalog. There wasn’t much hubbub about it at first, but…
Stampin’ Up!’s 2016 Holiday Catalog is filled to the brim with amazing products for the upcoming Winter months. There are not a lot of Fall-themed sets (although there are plenty of Thanksgiving images and sentiments dispersed throughout the book. This week’s sketch from FabFriday encouraged me to pull out my trustworthy friend and well-loved stamp set Vintage Leaves. Here’s my card: And here’s this week’s FabFriday sketch that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders…
Linda Callahan is hosting this week’s Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge, and I couldn’t have been more excited to break open my Foxy Friends bundle (this is the first time I’ve used this super-cool bundle) to make a fun and festive Christmas card. I decided a holly-festooned racoon would be adorable. Here’s my card: And here’s Linda’s sketch that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Foxy Friends. Foxy Friends is Stampin’ Up!’s bundle of…
The Global Design Project is hosting a Nautical Theme this week. Yesterday, I shared a sympathy card with a nautical theme (you can see it here). Today’s project is a “miss you” card that’s perfect for someone who’s traveling or who’s been away for a while (there’s no requirement that the recipient of this card needs to have traveled away via ancient sea vessel). Here’s my clean-and-simple card: And here’s the banner for the…
I’ve been sharing Stampin’ Up!’s Thoughtful Branches bundle with you from the very moment it was available for demonstrators in July. I’m thrilled to announce that the amazing bundle is now available for customers to purchase. WOOOOO HOOOOO! THE PRODUCTS To honor this amazing bundle (I reach for it every day), I’m sharing the incredible products and some of the projects I’ve made with it. Let’s start with the amazing products: What’s not to love…
The Global Design Project is hosting a nautical-themed challenge this week. When I think of making a card that features the beach and ocean, I think of two types of cards – one is a vibrant, fun card with bright colors and sea life and one is a peaceful showcase of the beach’s serenity. I made both – but am only sharing one with you today. Here’s a sympathy card that features sea shells from…
I adore the sketch challenges at CAS(E) this Sketch – each week, the talented team offers great ideas for clean -and-simple cards. Because of the timing of the challenges, I don’t always get to play along. This sketch gave me the chance to pull out my Shooting Star set again – I first shared this set earlier this week with a super-clean card with the paper airplane (you can see it here). Here’s my card…
