Many times I love the projects in the Paper Pumpkin kits, but this month I didn’t need 24 Valentines boxes (as cute as they were). My kids are now in college & high school, and no matter how little I try to keep them, they are pretty close to adulthood. I wanted to share an alternative project idea with you…
It’s always good to have sympathy cards on hand and today I’m going to show you how to make an ombre sympathy card featuring Calla Lilys and the Stamparatus. Calla Lilys were named after the Greek word calla meaning beautiful and are associated with the Greek goddess Hera. Katharine Hepburn said it best about the Calla Lily in the movie…

My favorite Valentines were those that were hand made (instead of those pre-bought ones that folded over with a sticker). No surprise there, right?? Even back when I was little…

Have you seen the new Butterfly Gala stamp set yet? It’s one of my new favorites. I just love the 5 butterfly options, the sentiments (that can be used for almost everything) and the coordinating butterfly punch. There are two sizes of butterflies and they are both on one stamp, which makes it pretty easy to punch out because the…

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…
It’s an interesting word – Stamparatus®. One of my class attendees call it a “Stampasaurus” which makes me smile each time I think about it. It may not roll off your tongue easily, but the Stamparatus® really is something you need to see, use and have. Using the Stamparatus means no more inky fingers or unwanted edge lines, getting the stamp…

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…
