It’s a new week and while I’m still trying to get photos together from the projects I demonstrated at the Northwest Women’s Show last weekend I thought I would share a fun card that my downline, Bethani Semple created recently. I find the Everyday Enchantment designer paper and Fresh Vintage stamp set often…
So, this is my last weekend to prep before the big Northwest Women’s Show here in Seattle. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to present a crafting demonstration on their Home Style stage on each of the 3 days; so I’ve been trying to square away exactly what I’m going to demo. Well, this is…
Have you ever looked at your stash of supplies, whether scrapbooking paper or office supplies, and realized you had more than you thought? That was me after organizing my craft room at the end of last year. So I joined a group of girl friends in declaring a 100-project challenge! For this challenge, you…
Hopefully you had a chance to enjoy the blog tour earlier this week. I loved playing with the new Sale-a-Bration items for my projects and so I reached for them again when I was working on a card for a long-distance workshop I have coming up. I was working within the constraints of what stamps,…
Today I wanted to share the last of the cards we made at a recent class of mine. The other cards all were flowery or included pink so I figured I ought to try to come up with something for the more manly folks in your life. (Plus I really wanted to use my Stripes…
Halloween is almost here and since I’m so behind on posting, I wanted to hurry up and share a card I made this month using the holiday hostess set called Warmest of Wishes. I normally don’t get halloween stamps but since this adorable trick or treating owl was a part of the set, I knew…
Every catalog since Stampin’ Up! started offering the Big Shot, they have offered new dies in all kinds of shapes and sizes. This time around, the Occasion Mini catalog offered the Petal Cone Bigz die. My mom ended up getting it and so I had to play with it myself. The die itself actually punches…
I saw a project someone made at convention last year that created the dress part of this card using cardstock and a paper napkin. Then, when I was looking for ideas for using the Stampin’ Up! designer fabrics, I ran across some cards that used the dress and put it onto a standard card base. …
When my downline, Pam, suggested having a class focused on using the designer fabrics; I thought it was a great idea. She was looking for more ideas on how to use all the cute fabrics and I needed the kick in the pants to start cutting more into my fat quarters. So, I organized a…
I’m a little late in posting today, but I wanted to be sure I wished all of you a very happy Valentine’s day! I created this card specifically for sharing today. Stampin’ Up! and the crafting I’ve done since I was introduced to Stampin’ Up! has introduced me to my second family of amazingly creative…
I’m so excited to be doing a Valentine’s themed workshop next week and so I’ve been busy getting the cards designed and ready to go. I knew when we started talking Valentine’s Day, that I wanted to use this stamp set, Love You Much. So, this is one of the first cards I created for…
I made this scrapbook page before the craziness of the December Holidays and wanted to share it with you as my farewell to the Holiday Mini. The Day of Gratitude stamp set was one that didn’t catch my eye when I first looked at the mini but after making a few samples at the Portland…
