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). This class uses the Sale-a-bration Delicate Dahlias (which is free with a $100 through Sale-a-bration), but you can use your own stamps too. Once the class is filmed, I will email it to you. No…
I have been WAY behind posting my cards to Pinterest. But, I’m happy to say that I found an easy way of posting my pics in the same format for easier viewing (& posting). Take a peek at the 35 cards I just posted. These are cards I have made in the last few months. Some of them have links…

August is prime blueberry season in my area. We have local pick-your-own berries farms not too far away from where I live. Until recently, I didn’t like blueberries. But now I have them almost every day in my yogurt (along with unsweetened coconut and sliced almonds). It’s a delicious breakfast and sometimes lunch (if you want to make it extra…
We made this tie-dye birthday card for my Club last month and it was a HUGE hit. It really is the coolest tie-dying coloring technique because it has that washed out look of an actual tie-dye t-shirt. We focused on the Soft Pastels last month and this card was the finale for all the projects. I love both the color…
World Card Making Day was created many years ago to get people to make cards. I know, I know, we card makers don’t really need a designated day or reason to create cards (we get it already), but there are some people who need a reminder. This year, I am going to host a World Card Making Day event for…
