I’m back and sharing today another fun idea using the fabulous Carols of Christmas sneak peek bundle! If you have stopped by my blog recently, you saw my totally different Carols of Christmas card, and that is why I love this bundle – you can make such a wide variety of cards and styles of cards with the same stamps and dies! *** Don’t forget, you have until Monday night (7/31) to get this stamp set & essentials pack FREE when you purchase the demonstrator starter kit or anyone can purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle starting August 1st … Read More
SNEAK PEEK! Carol of Christmas and a Blog Hop! [VIDEO TUTORIAL]
Woo hoo! I’m back from the Stampin’ Up Incentive trip to Thailand – feeling refreshed (once the jet lag wore off! 😉 ) and excited for the upcoming Holiday catalog! Winter is my favorite season, filled with twinkly lights, beautiful scenes, and an extra bit of kindness to go around. Before I left for Thailand, Stampin’ Up announced an amazing starter kit promotion that gives you an extra $72 in bonus goodies when you join in July! One of those items was the sneak peek stamp set “Carols of Christmas”. So, when it was time for our Fun n’ Crafty … Read More
Crafting Forever Using the New 2017-2019 In Colors!
It’s time for another great Blog Hop with my Fun n’ Crafty Stampers group! This month we are playing with the new 2017-2019 In Colors! I hope you take a chance to hop through our projects today because these new In Colors are ones that have some surprisingly great colors in the set! For example, while my far and away favorite new in color is the Berry Burst… I first saw Lemon Lime Twist and thought,”Ack! How can anyone do anything with this neon yellow/green color?” Oh, silly me! I soon saw people pairing it with black and white… seriously … Read More

The 2017 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog Product Samplers are Here!
I have had folks asking me about if they could sign up for my Product Samplers again for this new catalog – and I’m happy to announce that you can do that! There are a TON of new ribbons, embellishments, and papers in the 2017 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog and it would cost you over $750 to get them all if you bought them all separately. Eek!

Color Blocking Card Using High Tide
When is the last time you got a handmade card in the mail? Do you remember how it made you feel? The other day, I went to the mailbox and was flipping through my mail when I saw a smaller envelope – a card envelope. And handwritten on the front was my name with a return address label from my friend Julie Davison. I literally stood there on the sidewalk thinking… why is Julie sending me a card? I wonder what her card looks like! It wasn’t my birthday and it wasn’t for a swap. So I eagerly opened … Read More
Cute Collage Stamping using Kinda Eclectic
Today I wanted to share a card I created to send out as part of my customer thank yous. I had gotten embarrassingly far behind on sending out thank you cards for orders over the last few months and so I wanted to make up some cards and make sure everyone knew how much I appreciated them and their support. It took a while but it was great to sit and write a little note to each person. Plus it was fun to take a big stack to the post office… say HAPPY MAIL! 🙂 So what is inside many … Read More
