  • A Kinda Eclectic Convention Display Board Sample

    How about another quick share using the oh so pretty Kinda Eclectic stamp set?  This was another card I created for Convention last year and I realized I hadn’t shared it yet. It was one of those “a little bit of this and that” cards and so there were lots of fun little touches. Tips…

  • Holiday Gift Bag for Christmas using Seasonally Scattered

    How about something a little different today – a fun gift bag that is WAY QUICKER to make than you might expect using the Seasonally Scattered stamp set and those great chevron printed bags from Stampin’ Up. I created this for the Convention Display boards this last summer (yes, I’m still working on finishing up…

  • Last Hurrah for Wheel Stamps

    Last Hurrah for Wheel Stamps

    Wheel stamps are one of those things that have been around for YEARS!  Like, as long as I’ve been stamping, there have been wheel stamps.  In fact, when I signed up as a demonstrator with Stampin’ Up, you got a wheel handle and wheel stamp by default in your kit!  Over time, I’ve collected a…

  • Lacy & Lovely Emboss Resist–Ombre Style!

    Lacy & Lovely Emboss Resist–Ombre Style!

    Heat embossing is one of those great techniques that always instantly makes a card just a little bit classier and more elegant.  That said, I totally forget about it a ton of the time!  Thankfully, I have my Lacy & Lovely stamp set which always gets me excited to do some embossing.  Especially because I…

  • A Christmas Card from Shelli Gardner!

    I can’t believe I almost totally forgot to post this card I received at Founder’s Circle from Shelli Gardner (Stampin’ Up! CEO and her daughter Sara Douglas).  When we were swapping she gave us this card and even signed it on the back with her “bad” hand since she had just been in her horse…

  • Getting Creative with the Christmas Star Stamp

    Woo hoo!  Today is the day that I’m heading to Utah for Founder’s Circle and I don’t think I could be any more excited!  5 days to relax, stamp, explore, and socialize with some amazing stampers and demonstrators – what could be a better vacation?  I’ll be blogging from my trip in Utah as well…

  • Christmas Gift Tags from Scraps and No Peeking

    Ok, so Christmas is only 2 days away!  Eep!  Are you ready and have all your presents wrapped?  I’ll admit, I have most of them wrapped but not all of them! But wrapping presents got me thinking about gift tags and I was going crazy with the No Peeking set and had so much fun…

  • Getting Back to Watercolor Crayons

    When I was asked recently to put together a card using Watercolor Crayons, I wasn’t sure how it was going to go; but I decided I was up for the challenge.  The person really liked a card by Meg Loven using the Simply Soft set and so I looked around my craft room and spied…

  • Summer Smooches and Button Flowers

    I seriously need to figure out how to take better pictures because I had a heck of a time getting a photo that shows just how bright and cheery this card is!  When you see the Summer Smooches designer paper in person, it just makes you smile and feel like summertime.  So, here is what…

  • Designer Frames Embossed Love Card

    I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!  My day was like pretty much everyday except my hubby was super sweet and let me sleep in a little in the morning.  He even fed Nicholas breakfast while I slept!  That was an awesome enough gift for me. Well, as evidenced by my just getting my…

  • A Holiday Card from Halloween Paper?

    So, after making a couple cards recently using the Frightful Sight designer paper , I decided to challenge myself to make a card that had absolutely nothing to do with Halloween using this paper pack.  So, how about a holiday card? The black paper with green dots is the backside of the crazy pattern that…

  • Mother’s Day Card with Presto Patterns

    If you got my April newsletter recently, you may recognize part of this card!  I wanted to show some of the fun things you can do with Presto Patterns specialty paper.  See, many people either don’t realize what it is (because in the catalog it shows up as white with brown lines to show the…
