Today 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!
Continue readingI am really in love with this quick and easy fun fold, I think this is the 3rd time I have shared it, each one with different colors and themes, that is the beauty of making a card yourself – you can make it to any theme and occasion!
Today I have chosen to use the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set and coordinating punch, with some Wink of Stella and a Glossy Dot for my bling!
Continue reading‘Hello‘ is such a happy word, it is the start of something new – a conversation, new friend or a new discovery. 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 readingThe Framed Florets Stamp Set has everything I love – flowers and greetings in a pretty cursive font. I have used it for today’s card which is monochromatic and just verging on the vintage side without having lots of sponging so is a very easy and fairly quick card to make. Since the stamp set has different greeting such as birthday, celebrate and friend – the layout and colors could be used to cover different occasions.
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 readingOnce again I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink . Stamp . Share blog hop, we are a group of Stampin’ Up!®️Demonstrators from around the globe here to bring you inspiration through creativity!
You will have either arrived from post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month our theme is ‘CASE THE CATTY ‘ where we seek inspiration from current Stampin UP! catalog to share with you.
One of the ladies in my Stampin’ UP! team recently promoted to Bronze Elite, it was my absolute pleasure to make and send a card to celebrate her achievement. I reached for the Copper Foil straightaway and paired it with Very Vanilla Card and the Two Tone Flora Dies. I was really thrilled with how it turned out and hope she liked it as well.

Continue readingAt a recent class I was asked by my card crafting ladies to share how to use the two types of Embossing Paste that Stampin’ UP! offer. It is a fun product to work with and while you can use any of the ready made masks/stencils available in the catalogs, it is fun to make your own! I used the Split Card Texture Dies to create mine then added some heat embossing on vellum and a little vintage’ing as well – so today’s card is packed with techniques!
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.
