  • Accent Coloring with the Chalk Marker

    Accent Coloring with the Chalk Marker

    Back when Stampin’ Up had Chalkboard Paper, we also got the White Chalk marker.  And I knew what to do with it… duh, you use a chalk marker on chalkboard paper!  🙂  But then, the chalkboard paper went away and the chalk marker remained, which made me think there had to be other great uses for […]

  • Beautiful Backgrounds from Moroccan Nights

    Way back at Stampin’ Up OnStage in April, I was given the Moroccan Nights stamp set (love the perks of getting free stamps when you go to demonstrator events! ).  But the problem was, it wasn’t a stamp set I had really looked at before or thought was my style.  Which meant it sat on […]

  • Have a Holly Jolly Christmas–Fun Card with Foiled Vellum, Glimmer Paper, and More!

    So, yesterday I was (correctly) chastised for getting behind on posting on the blog. So, I had to hop-to and get another one of my recent favorites up to share with you. Today I have another card from my Holly Jolly Greetings Class by Mail, it has lots of little details but I love how […]

  • How to Make Your Own Gift Bags with the Gift Bag Punch Board Video Tutorial (Walkthrough Wednesday)

    So, I had the chance to order the new to Stampin’ Up Gift Bag Punch Board during the demonstrator preorder… but I didn’t get it.  I hemmed and I hawwed.  Did I really need another punch board in my life?  But my Mom had one, and so I decided to give it a go.  All […]

  • Love My Layered Flower Punches and Burlap

    Love My Layered Flower Punches and Burlap

    Every month as I start working on cards for my monthly card class and stamp club, I remember why I love doing this.  It is always fun to create a card of a scrapbook page based on what I see, but for me, it gets even more exciting when I think about what I can […]

    Watercolor Notecard Weekend–Day 1 Fun with Happy Watercolor

    Ok, I know I’ve been sharing a lot with Happy Watercolor and even the Watercolor Wonder Notecards, but I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with them and I want to share them since I know a lot of folks have ordered the stamp set and the notecards.  I figure more idea for how […]

  • A New Way to Color Your Stamped Images with Marker

    Recently, my mom showed me a new way to try coloring in your images with your markers.  To show me what she was talking about she created this card: It uses the new Flower Shop stamp set and punch sitting atop the stem from Field Flowers.  Great idea, huh? Now, to do the coloring, she […]

  • A Little Bit Of Love…and Scallops and Pearls

    I hope you don’t mind one more Cross My Heart card sample.  I know, I’ve been using it a lot this week, but that is just because I went on a creating spree with the set and most of the cards I have photographed right now use it.  But hopefully by now you can see […]

  • A Handmade Wedding Book and Card

    I’m back!  I had such a blast in Vegas. This was my first vacation since having my son, and though I missed him, it was great to have adult time and he got some quality time with Grandma. We also lucked in to a crazy room upgrade – we got a room on the “50”th […]

  • Technique night – Masking and Reverse Masking

    Last night was my August technique night with my meetup group and we focused on masking and reverse masking.  For those of you not familiar with masking, this is the technique for using paper to cover (or mask) the area you don’t want to get inked.  So, in this first card we did, you stamp […]
