The tale of the Garden of Eden transcends the boundaries of a single belief system. Numerous accounts and adaptations of Eden’s events have appeared in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, legends and lore, ancient mythology, and more! No matter how the story is shared, the essence of Eden remains the same: it’s a place of paradise. Filled with fruitful and flourishing foliage,…

It also happens to be my brother’s birthday, so in honor of him, I will show you this tip by creating…

If you have read some of my previous blog and Facebook posts, then you know I am all about versatility. I like my stamp sets to have more than one use. Forever Ferns is a stamp set that fits that criteria. It’s a great one to use as the main focus, the background and for many reasons and occasions. A…
I saw a similar card online and fell in love with the “graphicness” off it. Cohesive stripes in all different directions but work together. I thought this would be a perfect card for Club Class (and I was right). I had plenty of the Sale-a-Bration Hand Penned paper left over which is why I chose to do the card in…

You know when you see someone use a stamp set that you didn’t think you were going to order, but then saw someone use it and decided you HAD to have it? That’s what happened to me with the Festive & Bright Bundle. In the back of each Stampin’ Up! catalog are additional samples using bundles. Once I saw the…
I have a wonderful, marvelous, varied, all different stamping levels and caring team. (And I would love for you to join us). Last month, I offered the opportunity of a card swap to my team. Below are photographs of the swap cards I received from some of the members of my team. They are absolutely amazing! Because we are all…
We all love to see piles of presents on Christmas morning (no matter what your age). With the Gifts Galore Paper Pumpkin Kit, you can make that an easy reality. This treat box crafting kit has classic Christmas sentiments, bright and festive colors, a sweet snowman, a tree with all the trimmings and a playful pile of presents – everything…
World Card Making Day was last week (1st Saturday of October) and Stampin’ Up! set a goal of 5000 stamping events around the world. I was away visiting my daughter that weekend at her college, so I couldn’t host an event. Instead, I sent an email to my mailing list with this great card layout/sketch for them to make their…
Trick or Treating Season is right around the corner. The stores are ready (and have been for a while) with all the sweet treats lining the shelves. My son & I just bought a couple of bags of Take Five’s, which we love. One bag will be mailed to my favorite college freshman. Speaking of “Sweet Treats”, I have a…
Happy last day of September! I am taking (part of) the day off and taking my son into Boston. We love to walk the Harbor Walk and think that today’s weather will be perfect for that. We also love going to Flour for a homemade treat or lunch, so I think getting him one of her favorite sticky buns is…

Interactive cards are fun to both make & receive. I have found that some interactive cards can be tedious, time consuming and I’ll admit, a little frustrating to make. But, this Pinwheel card is not that! It’s very easy to make and put together. The trick is, just a lot of cutting. If you can cut paper then you can…

Trick or Treating Season is right around the corner. The stores are ready (and have been for a while) with all the sweet treats lining the shelves. Speaking of “Sweet Treats”, I have a different spin on one particular stamp in that set. I can’t take credit for the idea, but I did create these simple & fun projects for…
I am in love with this card! I can’t wait for you to see how fun it is to make. You will need a few non-basic supplies to create it, but they are supplies you will use over and over. Particularly, you need a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, some dies and the Blending Brushes. I’m guessing you already have…
To build upon this month’s Sale-a-bration sale, I am giving away a free Delicate Dahlia’s online class with a $100 order (placed in August or September).
