For the last two months, I have been doing regular Facebook Lives on Tuesdays at 2:30 EST. Be sure to turn in next Tuesday on my Mail Something Pretty Facebook Page to see a new episode. This week, I highlighted and combined two of the Sale-a-bration choices: Awesome Otters & the Simply Marbeleous paper. I think the two pair very…
Coloring. Something we learn how to do when we are toddlers. Crayons can be fun, but the options are so much greater as we get older. You have several choices of coloring when it comes to Stampin’ Up!. Below are 8 peony flowers, all the same stamped image and colors of Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green. Each image uses…
Recently I was asked the difference between Stampin’ Write Markers and Stampin’ Blends. I thought you may have a similar question as well, so I thought I would write a post about both of them, their differences and benefits. Videos of both sets of markers are at the end of this post. Stampin’ Write Markers are like regular magic markers, but…
I am absolutely in love with this card! Or should I say I “amour” it? I saw this card on Pinterest and knew I needed to make it, but the designer did not give any directions or measurements. I figured it out and wanted to share it with you so you could make it too. The best part about the…
Today’s project involves a little traveling. Over the weekend, I visited two Newport Mansions: Marble House and The Breakers. My niece had to visit a National Landmark for her summer homework and my daughter and I were more than happy to help out. We even took it upon ourselves to include an ice cream lunch as extra credit. Both of…
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned and showed the card I made for my mother’s birthday featuring the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (see post here). In that post I said I was going to film a tutorial on how to make the card. I filmed the making of the card both yesterday and today (you’ll see why it…
I have mentioned in past posts how much I am enjoying using and creating with the Sailing Home suite. All of my Father’s Day and Graduation cards were made with the lighthouse and sailboats (and a few summer birthdays too). The images are just so SUMMER. Today’s project video tutorial showcases a fun sponging technique. You can adapt this technique…
I often get asked what is the difference between Black StazOn and Memento Inks. They are both black inks, but each serves a different purpose. If you want to stamp black ink on card stock and leave it alone, then you can use either ink. If you want to color the image you stamp, then it matters which black ink…
Do you like to color? I do and I’m know I am not alone. There is a rising trend in coloring for adults because of the benefits to both our physical and mental health. That and it’s fun too! So much more than the classic box of crayons. Although, who can deny the joy of opening a brand new box…
Trick or Treat! I’ll take a treat every day of the week, no tricks for me. I love to make treats, usually the baking kind. But for this Halloween, I thought I would fill this Baker’s boxes with “Spook-tacular” treats! Baker’s Boxes There are so many different ways to use the new Baker’s Boxes. You can be sure my daughter…
As demonstrators, we are able to preorder items from an future catalog one month prior to the launch of the that catalog. I could have ordered anything (& everything) from the 2018 Holiday catalog, but I decided to limit myself and order only two suites. One of the suites is Halloween, which I will feature in another post on another…
