Have you had a chance to look through the new Mini Catalogue yet? There are some wonderful stamps in it, along with coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP), dies, embellishments, and lots more! This month I am featuring the Painted Poppies Suite. It is a beautiful set of products including two bundles, some gorgeous DSP, and pretty embellishments. My card today is simple but elegant, and uses the Painted Poppies stamp set.
Read MoreThe Christmas season is filled with sweet treats, and today I have another treat holder for you. This one will hold a box of Smarties, or a chocolate bar, and you can also put in a gift card if you like. We made these for teachers at a recent class, and everyone loved them!
Read MoreEveryone loves a little treat, and at Christmas it is always nice to have a little treat for people you see. These little packages are great for that. They are quick and easy to make, and they have a sweet treat waiting inside.
Read MoreHave you seen the Frozen 2 movie that is out? I haven’t seen it yet, but I suspect it is wonderful. I loved Olaf when the first Frozen movie came out, and put him on a number of 3D items. It is time to update him for the new movie, so here is my new Olaf!
Read MoreAre you looking for a cute little box to hold a Christmas gift? I have a tutorial for a wonderful little box for you today. You can fill it with some gift tags, candy, or as my kids say, money fits nicely into almost anything!!
Read MoreWe are getting to the time of year where we need to be thinking about Christmas gifts, and packaging for them. Some people can be difficult to buy for, and if you want that perfect gift, we all know a gift card fits every size!!
Read MoreWelcome to a new feature on my blog, Cut and Create Crafty Cards. These posts give you some great ideas to get your lovely Designer Series Paper off the shelf and actually use it to create beautiful cards. Many of us love the stunning DSP that Stampin’ Up! offers, but many of us also have difficulty cutting it and using it! We want to save it for the exact right project. Unfortunately that often means it sits on the shelf for way too long, and never gets used. I’m here to help inspire you to USE it. You will love the results, have lots of gorgeous cards for your friends and family, and let’s face it, you can always get more!!
Read MoreI know it is early spring, so I can’t even say I’m doing Christmas in July, but I do have a Christmas card for you today. I was playing with my Stamparatus, and wanted to use a stamp in a non-traditional way, and following my nose (or my stamps, ink and paper), I ended up at Christmas!
Read MoreI have been playing with the Floral Romance Suite from the Occasions catalogue, and it is wonderful. I couldn’t stop creating!! I have put together a tutorial of nine cards and I would love to share it with you for FREE.
Read MoreLast month at this time (as I’m writing this post) I was getting ready for my wedding. Since then I have been to Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic for my fabulous honeymoon, skied several times including a trip to Quebec, and started to settle into married life!
As we celebrate our one month anniversary with Date Night, I wanted to make a special card for MSH (My Sweet Husband).
Stamping a cute image on a card front can be fun, but stamping it twice, as a mirror image just ups the fun and cute factor off the chart! The Stamparatus makes it easy to do.
Read MoreWhen I was invited to my very first Stampin' Up! Workshop, I had no idea what to expect. While I had done crafts all my life, I had never really done any stamping, or made my own greeting cards. I really hadn't done a lot of papercrafting of any type. We made a Christmas card that was lovely, but then . . . we made a Bagalope. We turned a plain white envelope into a beautiful gift bag. . . and it was easy to do!!
