This week I hosted our October Club Class.

I highly recommend joining the next round of Club which begins in December. It does not matter if you live local…

I love teaching you how to use Stampin’ Up! products, how to create and assemble cards, how to love stamping. Today’s post is…
Have you seen or used the Snowman Builder punch yet? It’s fantastic and coordinates perfectly with the Snowman Season stamp set. You can stamp & punch the snowman base, hat, arms and nose.

Have you seen the Halloween candy in the supermarkets yet? Believe it or not, my daughter and I saw a Nutella snack stand in a food store featuring Halloween characters on the 4th of July!!!!

It’s that time of year when bunnies make their way onto our cards. Spring & Easter! For those of us who don’t have a bunny punch, what are we supposed to do? Use circles!

I made these cute tea bag treat holders a while back for Mother’s Day and then recently to give as special “pillow gifts” when I went to Stampin’ Up!’s 30th Anniversary celebration. They really are sweet. If you have an envelope punch board, they are quick to put together. By request, I filmed a video tutorial on how to make…

Last Sunday a bunch of great ladies came over to my house and made their own Christmas countdown boxes. I’m not sure if they loved the overall project better, or all the prep work that was done for them. All they needed to do was assemble all the pieces together. And they did this with very happy faces! I still…

“Joy to the World” is what this class is all about. Spreading Joy throughout the Holiday season, no matter if you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah or the Winter Solstice is important.
