Since we can’t quite gather together in large groups, I thought I would do something a little differently for this year’s catalog launch. You’re invited to a virtual Open House! Join me and many others for a Facebook Open House on June 18th at 7pm EST. You can even attend in your jammies! I will be showing new products, card…

I got to play with the new Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper which highlights the new 2020/22 In Colors. You are going to love these new colors!!! Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Bumblebee, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight. They are so warm, inviting and easy to incorporate into your cards and projects. They pair so well with the existing…
Hello! I’m very excited to announce the launching of my next Online Class – Heat Embossing for Beginners! I often get asked about heat embossing and the necessary steps & tools needed for this fun technique that creates shiny, raised images. It creates such a WOW effect with really little work. With only a few easy steps, you will create instant…

As a Demonstrator, I get the privilege of pre-ordering new products. It’s one of the great many perks of being part of the Stampin’ Up! family. My pre-order arrived this week and I went straight to work creating instant Sunflowers with the new Celebrate Sunflowers Stamps & Dies. What fun! I love tending my garden and try to grow sunflowers…
Today I filmed two out of three videos for my Club. Due to the Corona virus, we have not been able to meet for April or May. I miss them!!!!! Club is one of my favorite things I do with stamping because it brings together women who love to stamp, love to learn, love to share and love Stampin’ Up!…

Stamp Club is one of my favorite things I do in my stamping business. Why? It involves everything I love – friendly people, creativity, teaching & learning, Stampin’ Up! products, sharing, inspiration and a community spirit. I always learn something new too from the great conversations we have and creating we do. Show & tells are encouraged! My Clubs last…
I forgot all about this Flower Pot card design until Sue showed her samples at our team Zoom meeting. Hers was so much fun (and so was her accomplishment and smile) that it inspired me to make some for Mother’s day. It had been a while since I made one, so I hopped on Pinterest to get the measurements and…

Did you know that there are 53 Stampin’ Up! colors? Do you have a favorite? It’s hard to choose I know. I’m sure many of us change our favorite several times a year, I certainly do. And that’s totally okay! Actually, I think changing favorite colors is preferred so we can use all the colors. Color challenges is another way…
Update – 1 kit left. The bee to-go card kit had great success by selling out, so I thought I would create another to-go kit class focusing on flowers. Mother’s day is right around the corner and any one of these cards would be perfect for mom or anyone you send a card to. I also filmed videos on how…
The Retirement List was published today and there is a lot on it! A few things to keep in mind: All retiring items are only available while supplies last and will be discontinued after June 2. Some items have already been discounted. Due to high demand, retiring stamp sets will have guaranteed availability until May 22. All other products are…
Happy Earth Day! Earth Day is 50 years old!!! Although it’s sunny where I live, it’s unseasonably cold (38 degrees) and blustery, so it’s not a good day to work in the garden. Instead, I tried to think of earth-friendly tips I could share with you. I always try to be conscious about reducing my waste, re-using what I can…
I planned to do this class in March, but unless you live under a rock, you know that all classes everywhere have been cancelled or postponed due to the COVID19 virus. Since you can’t come to me and my table, I thought I would bring the class to you as a PDF: Easel Card & Tag step by step directions.…
Some dies have a lot of details which can make removing the small cut pieces difficult. I wanted to show you a little tip that works well for me when cutting with detailed dies. You may still need to use a die brush or paper piercer to remove some little pieces, but the cut will be sharper into the paper…
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…
Update – 4 kits left . I did a little design work over the weekend with you in mind. I am guessing you are missing classes, have dwindling supplies and need some inspiration. According to Stampin’ Up! policy, I can not send stamped images in a kit, so I came up with a class you can assemble at home that requires no stamping and…
One of my girl scouts showed me how to make these easy to make triangle boxes years ago. They can be transformed into any theme depending on the paper, accessories and tags. I think my girl scout showed us how to make witch ones for Halloween. I’ve made them into fun Santa boxes and birthday boxes. I made these boxes…
