Today I am offering a chance for you to take one of my classes in the comfort of your own home! It features the Friendly Expressions Stamp set and you will get to make 2 each of 4 different designs of cards.
There are 3 options – the first of which includes a brand new stamp set and a Gray Granite Ink Pad.

Last month I created a guy version of the Never Ending card for the Ink and Share Blog Hop, click here to see that. I am fascinated by the way this card works and went on to make a couple more versions in more feminine colors using the Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set along with the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.
I am sharing two versions of the same card, made exactly the same accept one version uses Petal Pink card and the other Blackberry Bliss card.
This is the fifth of my videos on techniques using the Stamparatus and it features 2 step Stampin’….. and a sneak peak of the Wishing You Well Stamp Set which is in the ‘soon-to-be-released’ 2018 Holiday Catalog. (if you don’t have a copy and would like one comment below and I will get back to you!)
The Stamparatus is Stampin’ UP!’s latest tool and an absolute must have for all stampers. It helps you perfectly align your stamp images, stamp multiples of the same project quickly and accurately and gets complete ink coverage – ‘cos you can do a ‘do-over’ as my video today will show.
I have used the sentiments from the Bunch of Blossoms stamp set on other projects because I love the words and the script – but if occurred to me that I has overlooked the flowers and the coordinating Blossom Builder Punch for far too long. Today’s card puts that right and gives me a chance to do some 2-step stampin’ which this stamp set was designed to do!
Today I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink & Share blog hop again. You will have either arrived from Ginger Rabesa’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is Holiday Catalog Preview ~YES……………… the new Holiday Catalog is due to be released on September 5th, and I have to say you are going to be blown away with this one!
I decided to go for a Halloween Theme and a tri-fold card that has become a bit of a favorite of mine recently.
Soft Seafoam is a super new color introduced in June – it is in the Subtles color family but I have used it here as more of a neutral – it goes perfectly with Cherry Cobbler!
It was my daughter-in-law’s birthday last Sunday and this was the card I made for her, using the very popular Petal Palette Stamp Set.
On page 213 of the 2018 – 2019 Stampin’ UP! annual catalog are a variety of adhesives and one that is probably overlooked a lot but is one of the most useful ~ Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet, Today’s card is made with the adhesive sheet and there is a video giving you some ideas on how to use it as well as some tips for using it successfully.
My card features the Beautiful You Stamp set and my one of my favorites of the new colors, Soft Sea Foam which I have partnered with Merry Merlot – which made a great combination (even if it did not appear so at first!)
I cannot resist Designer Series Paper – it is almost always the top of my wish list when a new catalog is released. I used to be reluctant to cut into a sheet and found I had become a DSP hoarder! I set myself a personal challenge a couple of years ago to use the paper and have shared many of the projects with you my readers…….. my accountability partners!
In July I hosted a DSP share, each participant getting a 6 x 6 piece of all the DSP’s in the 2018 -2019 Annual Catalog – plenty to create some beautiful projects – today’s card uses half of a 6 x 6 sheet of Garden Impressions DSP and is the main decoration.
A dear friend of mine recently became an American Citizen, just in time to celebrate her 18th year of living in this country. A good reason for a card, of course, but it needed to be special with a little ‘nod’ to both her countries of citizenship – the UK as well as the USA (we Brits are allowed to be dual citizens by both countries)
Red, White and Blue are obvious choices as both countries flags have those colors, then I chose to use the lovely ‘swish’ from the Star of Light stamp set as it has stars and the ‘swish’ part reminds me of fireworks and celebration. To honor her British side and her love of tea (very much like my own as I explained earlier this week) a tea cup from the Time For Tea Stamp Set
Last Thursday and Saturday I shared some projects using the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper ~ I am so taken with the paper I used it again for my July customer thank you cards.
In July I hosted a Designer Series Paper Share and although it did not include any of this ‘lacy’ paper it did include the newly introduced 6 x 6 color collections for each of the color families, and I want to show what can be achieved with a 6 x 6 piece of paper.
This is double sided paper featuring ‘formal’ stripes and polka dots and ‘casual’ polka dots and stripes – so my cards have featured both sides of the paper and I chose to use the ‘Subtles’ collection.
