Great Masculine Birthday Card
Earlier this month was my husband’s birthday and my mom, being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator also, sent him a handmade card that I loved. In fact, I think I liked it even more than he did! 🙂 Anyway, I loved how striking it was and thought it was a great masculine card and so I…
Paisley Petals Anniversary Card
This weekend my family and I headed out of town to Spokane, WA for my grandparent’s 65th anniversary. I think it is so awesome to see two people who have shared a life for 65 years and have so many interesting stories from their adventures along the way! So, this when I found this sentiment…
2012 In Color Bookmarks
I’ve been so spoiled because I’ve had the last week to flip through my new Stampin’ Up! catalog and play with some of the new papers, stamps, and even the new style of ink pads! But I also made sure to spend time this week gearing up to share the love as well. I finished…
Another Fresh Vintage Faux Tiled Card
As I’ve been cleaning up my craft room and trying to clear out scraps and the little hodge-podge of items I’ve stamped or cut for a project and then later decided I didn’t want to us them; and in the process I came across more of my Faux Tiling samples. I had scored and…
Beautiful Simplicity
Today we have another “ode to retiring products” card. 🙂 I love the inspiration I get from Stampin’ Up! and my demonstrator website they provide and in this project’s case their designers remind me of a lot of cute things…. like how I totally forget to do tone-on-tone paper punching (the red flowers from the…
Happy Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day is here and I want to wish all of you mothers, grandmothers, female support systems, and friends a wonderful day. I know I am blessed to have some wonderful women in my life and I am especially lucky to be able to share Stampin’ Up! with my own mom – Kathy Thisted. We…
Vintage Vogue Mother’s Day Card
Alright, the count down to Mother’s Day is on! Here is another card we made during our Mother’s Day card class but the nice thing is, you could use it any time of the year! Can I just say, I can’t believe how long it took me to realize what a great combo…
Simply Soft Elegant Mother’s Day Card
I keep forgetting Mother’s Day is this weekend! Thankfully, I ran a class last week specifically for creating Mother’s Day cards, so now I have a stash that I can use this weekend since I’m sure I’ll forget again and think I have a couple weeks. 🙂 Today I thought I’d share one of my…
Fabric Pocket Tissue Holder
So, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m not a sew-er. As in, I don’t own a sewing machine or wouldn’t know what to do if placed in front of one if I had to do anything other than push the pedal down and move my fabric forward. 🙂 I do, however,…
Making a Perfect Mini Bow the Easy Way!
For years, I’ve been running classes where one of the cards may have a bow on it. And I’ve watched folks struggle with trying to make a smaller bow without either getting your fingers caught or one side of the bow threatening to come out. Now, it is totally possible to tie it like normal,…
Wanna Hear Some New Catalog Tidbits?
Early this morning, Stampin’ Up! released an online copy of the upcoming catalog to demonstrators in the US and Canada. So, of course, while I was up at 2am for a middle of the night feeding for my littlest stamper (4 months old), I started flipping through to see what was in store. Boy, was…
