  • Quick Holiday Gift Idea w/ the Candy Wrapper Die

    When I first saw the candy wrapper die, all the projects I saw with it were halloween projects and ever since then I seemed to be stuck thinking about it as a halloween thing or even birthday treats… See this is what you see when you look at it in the catalog or online:           …

  • You’re Amazing Ticket Banner Card from Convention

    Alright, today is another share of the Stampin’ Up! convention make & takes.  I LOVED the variety and number of different projects we got to make and I thought that the projects we made with the You’re Amazing stamp set were especially unique.  And I’ll admit, this card is not at all hard to do,…

  • Elegant Congratulations Graduation Card

    Last week was my new catalog preview party and after I put out my  catalogs, samples, and door prize, I decided I needed some more decorations.  So, I thought it would be fun to make some pinwheels with some of the great designer series paper I had lying around.  These are so easy to make…

  • Bordering on Romance Thank You

    The end of a catalog year always leaves me with stamps and accessories that I’m so happy are going to continue being available… and stamps that I’m sad are going away.  This card has both!

  • Paisley Petals Anniversary Card

    This weekend my family and I headed out of town to Spokane, WA for my grandparent’s 65th anniversary.  I think it is so awesome to see two people who have shared a life for 65 years and have so many interesting stories from their adventures along the way! So, this when I found this sentiment…

  • Beautiful Simplicity

    Today we have another “ode to retiring products” card. 🙂  I love the inspiration I get from Stampin’ Up! and my demonstrator website they provide and in this project’s case their designers remind me of a lot of cute things…. like how I totally forget to do tone-on-tone paper punching (the red flowers from the…

  • Using Up Those Scraps!

    So, I recently reorganized my craft room yet again.  I’ve been fine tuning it for efficiency for how I find I craft in my space.  Well, after the last clean up, I realized I had a ton of useful looking scraps lying around on my table.  Now, normally I brush them into a pile and…
