  • Back from Vacation!

    Hi again! I know its been ages since I’ve been on the blog.  Turns out my grand plan to get a ton of blog posts written while I was on vacation for almost 2 weeks was not the best plan.   I somehow thought that since I would be away from home, I’d have all…

  • A New Way to Color Your Stamped Images with Marker

    Recently, my mom showed me a new way to try coloring in your images with your markers.  To show me what she was talking about she created this card: It uses the new Flower Shop stamp set and punch sitting atop the stem from Field Flowers.  Great idea, huh? Now, to do the coloring, she…

  • Fun & Easy Birthday Card with Banner Greetings

    What do you think of when you see a stamp set that is full of stamp images that look like flags?  Well, I imagined banners, but don’t ask me why, but I never thought to make little flags with it.  But, thank goodness for other creative stampers out there! My mom created this card and…

  • Frosted Glass Butterfly Technique and Card

    As I get ready for Monday’s Terrific Techniques: Fun with Washi class, I was looking over a card I made recently using the Best of Butterflies stamp set.  (You know, because it was one of my few samples right now that uses washi) I was playing with Vellum and thought it would be really pretty…

  • Colorful Flower using the Mosaic Punch & Pressed Clay

    Ok, I’ll admit it.  I wasn’t sold on the Pressed Clay when Stampin’ Up! announced it’s release during the demonstrator preorder in advance of the new Annual Catalog launch.  I kept hearing people get all excited about it but I didn’t order it because I couldn’t see myself actually using it. Wanna know what just…

  • New 2013 Stampin’ Up! Color Comparisons

    Have you seen the new colors that have come out and found yourself wondering “Isn’t Smoky Slate the same as the retired Going Grey?” or “Is that Strawberry Slush really that pink?”  I’ve always loved seeing what the new colors look like compared to the other colors in the Stampin’ Up! family (to help me…

  • Elegant Embossed Vellum Card

    Its been a busy week and I’m suddenly realizing how much I still need to catch up on!  I’ve been reorganizing my craft room to make space for all the new catalog goodies that just came in…of course in the process I’ve discovered items that I forgot I had and really need to use more! …

    I was talking with some friends this week about how I was closer than I’ve ever been before to earning the Getaway Incentive trip from Stampin’ Up! this year.  …Wait, that should be said with a little more enthusiasm… I’m getting close to earning the Incentive Trip this year!!  With the Stampin’ Up! year winding…

  • Dress Shirt Card for Dad

    You would think that for all the stamping classes I run and projects I make for swapping and my blog, I would always be prepared for holidays.  Ha!  They sneak up on me like my 3 yr old when I think he is taking a nap and jump out at me at the last minute. …

  • Using Punches to Create a Fun, Colorful Bookmark

    Each year when the new Stampin’ Up! catalog comes out, they release the latest set of In Colors.  So, I usually figure that when I’m sending out my catalogs to customers that it would be nice for them to see what these new colors look like in person.  So I create a little bookmark to…

  • Just Wanted to Say You’re Amazing!

    No seriously, you are! As I think back to how my life has evolved and changed over the last few years – between major moves and babies and family adventures; I love that I’ve always had my friends and stamping community there for support and to keep me sane!  From friends in facebook groups to…
