I think you may have guessed that Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set with the coordinating Splendid Stems Dies is a firm favorite in my stash!. This must be the 6th or 7th card I have shared in the last couple of months.
Today I am using this bundle to demonstrate a die stenciling technique, where I have used the dies to create stencils which gives a really neat coloring technique.
Continue readingAs a Stampin’ UP! demo I get my hands on new products about4 – 6 weeks ahead of their public release, I also get to attend events, virtual and in person, where Stampin’ UP! shares ideas and designs. So it was in June when I was able to get my hands on the Splendid Day Suite of products and was able to make several samples which I have shared in the last few weeks. (link below if you missed them)
Continue readingToday’s card just uses card and paper – no stamps, no ink……………… just paper/card!!!. The He’s The Man Designer Series Paper Pack has a variety of masculine designs and a whole bunch of die-cut embellishments.

Continue readingA few days ago I shared a scrapbook page layout where the theme was our favorite color combination challenge – Check it out here. I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I have taken some of the elements on the page to create this celebration card – very much my style using panels with a little bling from the Flower Trinkets.
