I don’t think to use white ink at all, so when I was seeking inspiration for a color combo for my recent card buffet my eye fell on the Whisper White Craft Ink Pad which I paired up with Night of Navy and the Uniquely Artistic Stamp Set – I just loved the sort of monochrome ‘smoky’ effect it gave especially with the outline stamps in the set.
Continue readingToday I have 2 cards to share, both made using the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack and featuring the Artisan Additions Dies with the Celebrating You Stamp Set ~ and there is a video to go along with them. 🙂
It also gives me a chance to use the new punches released as part of Stampin’ UP!’s online exclusive products 1 3/4 and 2″ circles ~ these are favorites that have been reintroduced and I have put a link below so you can order yours!

My card today will work for just any occasion ~ even to send ‘ just because’! I have chosen some bright ‘tropical’ colors to compliment the Tropical Hideaway Background Stamp and added a cute flower to finish it off.

Continue readingI have a ‘go to’ layout I like to use occasionally, particularly when I have a little creative block ~ I find once I have my basic pieces cut the rest will flow from that.
Today’s card uses that layout and you will probably recognize it from previous posts. I have combined the Petal Park Stamp Set with the coordinating punch with the Celebrating You Stamp set for my greeting along with one of my favorite subtle color combinations to show the same layout for an anniversary card and one for Easter, there is also a video tutorial to follow along with 🙂
Continue readingI do love a fancy/fun fold card ~ so do the ladies who come to my in-person classes. I also like them to be as simple and easy as possible to make while still being impressive! Today’s card relies on the score/folds to achieve both of these 🙂
We also have some techniques going on, two step stamping, die cutting and creating our own decorative paper, there is a video to following along with to show how it all comes together!
Continue readingEach month I take part in a Scrapbook hop, I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I try to take some elements from my layout to create a card to show how Stampin’ UP! products can be used for both card making and scrapbook pages. Check out the original scrapbook page I took the pull out section of the page and created this simple fun-fold card which would be perfect for an anniversary, birthday or valentine’s day.
Continue readingI recently hosted a paper share for the specialty papers in the Jan – May 2023 mini catalog, where each participant received a 6″ square of these beautiful papers. In order to provide some inspiration I used a couple of the papers along with the Two Tone Floral Stamp Set and coordinating dies to create a couple of cards LIVE on my You Tube channel.
Continue readingWe are in the last few days of Sale-a-bration and I have a couple of cards to share featuring the simply cute Adorable Owls Stamp Set which is one of the FREE choices for a $50 product shop as well as the Dandy Designs 12 x 12 Decorative Paper which is available (for free) for $100 product shop. Both of these will be available until February 28th 2023.
Continue readingWe have a 14 year old grand-daughter – it is an age where I find it difficult to hit the right spot between a childhood theme and one for an adult!! Not surprisingly (for me) I chose to do something floral but bright and cheerful for a young woman. It also has a very quick and easy fun fold for which I made a video ….. just to show you how quick and easy it is!!
