I’m so excited to share a new class that I just finished the samples for – the Endless Wishes card gift set! This was a compilation of many of my favorite new (and returning!) holiday goodies that gave me lots of fun time playing and experimenting and being really stinkin’ glad I got them! You…
Nothing like some Christmas cards to start getting me in the mood for the holiday season! The late fall/winter time is my favorite time of the year! Yes, there is Christmas and even my birthday, but I just love all the joy that is everywhere, the twinkling lights, the shimmer and sparkle that you see…
Have you seen the cute new photopolymer stamp set that just came out – Gentle Peace? I know some people were disappointed there weren’t many religious Christmas stamps and so this may be just up your alley! Gentle Peace Photopolymer Stamp Set I just love how they make this look with Blendabilities, or you can…
So, turns out I am really good at making projects… I can even do a pretty good job of photographing my project…um, NOT so good at actually editing and posting my photos! Oops! I love creating and I love sharing the ideas with everyone because goodness knows how much inspiration I get from seeing the…
Last night I held my Blendabilities technique class and it was a lot of fun chatting, stamping, and sharing with everyone who came out! I wanted to share one of the cards I used as a sample in the class last night: This card uses the Joyful Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Carryover List…
Now, I’ll admit, I’m one of those people that think I’m going to get my Christmas cards done early but then I keep putting it off until suddenly it is December 5th and I haven’t done a single one! However, I know a lot of folks are really good about starting their Christmas cards in…
I can’t believe I almost totally forgot to post this card I received at Founder’s Circle from Shelli Gardner (Stampin’ Up! CEO and her daughter Sara Douglas). When we were swapping she gave us this card and even signed it on the back with her “bad” hand since she had just been in her horse…
Yesterday I shared a post highlighting the 4 holiday different cards I made using this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit, which made some cute Christmas cards. Well, I ended up with extra star garlands and I had seen a very simple card by Lyssa Zwolanek that used the star garland as a wreath and I thought…
So, you’ve probably heard me mention My Paper Pumpkin before. It is a monthly kit subscription from Stampin’ Up that contains everything you need (except standard glue and scissors) to complete a surprise project – typically in about 30 minutes. Often it is a set of 4 cards, but they mix it up with mini-scrapbooks,…
Coming up on Thursday I have a Holiday Card stamp-a-stack planned where everyone is going to make up to 4 different designs of cards including this one: I was going for something that was easy to make a lot of without taking a ton of time or wearing out your arm, and this is one…
So, this started out as me trying to figure out the answer to a question for my downline, Liz, about how to get rich color on the top of the flowers from the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder. I thought I knew what to tell her, but I wanted to try it out first so I could…
Christmas is a little over 12 weeks away, so I figured it might be time to start thinking about holiday cards and crafts! Next week is the first in my 12 weeks of Christmas series for my newsletter subscribers (more scoop on that below), but to get us warmed up, I thought I would share…
