Each month for Club, we make two cards and a 3D project. This month’s 3D project was desktop calendars. They were a big hit! (and really easy to make). We used the new Poppy paper and die set that will be available in January. Any papers and punch outs will work (but I really love the poppies). I filmed a…
I was using my Stampin’ Write Markers over the weekend and noticed my Pool Party Marker was a little dry. Did you know you can “re-ink” the Stampin’ Write Markers? Since the debut of the Blends Markers, your Stampin’ Write’s may have taken a back seat (just like mine). Don’t forget about these versatile Stampin’ Write Markers! “Re-ink” the Stampin’…

A few score lines is all you need to make the card interactive. This template is good for all stamp levels: beginner to expert. I would love to see what you come up with using…

This is the time of year that most people send out the most amount of cards. Don’t let it be overwhelming! As you are cutting, stamping, and assembling your Christmas cards, find the joy and not the time crunch. As I was making some of my cards today, I thought of a few tips that may help you out with…

Your recipient can come to a class or two, or chose the products that have been on their wishlists. Gift certificates can be in any amount. Would YOU like a Mail…
Today is the last day for the sale! For those of you who have known Stampin’ Up! for a while, you know that they don’t have sales very often. Their regular prices don’t allow them to discount 50-75% off like other companies that are offering holiday sales. So even though 15% may not seem like a “big” sale, it really…
Do you need to make multiples of cards but don’t want them to look all the same? I have just the answer for you! The solution of making multiple cards without boredom is changing your papers I needed to make several birthday cards, but making the same card over and over can get a little boring and repetitive. My solution…

Looking for a fun Christmas or Holiday table decoration? Why not make your own Christmas Crackers or poppers as some call them. You’ll have a bunch of fun making them with all the great Christmas papers that are in the 2019 holiday catalog. I think they’ll look great grouped in a basket, lined up on the table or used as…
I love how you can use products multiple ways. Embossing folders are great for adding texture to your projects, the true purpose of them. Did you know you can add color to your embossing folders? In this post & video, I will show you how to sponge your embossing folders to create a two-tone effect. You can do this with…
My new Paper Trimmer arrived over a week ago and I am very impressed! The previous Paper Trimmer was completely fine except in one area. The replacement blades are no longer available. Stampin’ Up! had to make the hard decision last Spring to retire the beloved trimmer because the facility used to produce the replacement blades was no longer able…

This week I hosted our October Club Class. Club members get to choose between two dates each month which to attend (and if they can’t attend that month, I prepare their projects for them to put together at home). I highly recommend joining the next round of Club which begins in December. It does not matter if you live local…

All of Stampin’ Up! stamp sets are made in the USA, right in Utah. Stamps come in two forms: Cling and Photopolymer, both which stick to reusable clear blocks or Stamparatus plates. Link…
A lot of the cards and projects I make are for a specific class, workshop, blog post or video. It’s not all that often that I create for the pure pleasure of creating. And that’s totally fine! 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. I want to show you two easier ways to line up the Snowman in the punch, rather than stamping and punching each piece individually. You can do…
