Stampin' Up!
Did you see the beauty?
I’m sure you have all seen the new 2022-23 Annual catalog by now, but don’t forget about the January–June 2022 mini catalog. It is packed with fantastic stamp sets and embellishments that are available through the end of June. I want to point out one of my favorites, the ABSTRACT BEAUTY SUITE COLLECTION. Get the […]
Have you ever wondered?
I thought I’d share several of the manufacturing processes that Stampin’ Up! uses and Sara Douglass (our CEO) has shared with us. This first one shows us how Stampin’ Up! makes our rubber stamps. I was amazed at the automated process that goes into producing, cutting, and packaging all our wonderful stamp sets. I hope […]
I’m in love with coloring!
For those of you who know me well, that’s an earth-shattering statement. I’ve avoided the Stampin’ Up! stamp sets that needed to be colored because I never felt I could create the beautiful images that others were making. I did buy the new Stampin’ Up! watercolor pencils recently. I’m still hesitant, but I thought I’d […]
Garden of daisies for spring and Easter
Yesterday I shared my Timeless Tulips Easter cards. Another spring flower my mom had in her garden was Daisies. So out came my Daisy Lane stamp set and the Daisy and Medium Daisy punches to create more spring and Easter cards (I have a lot of family around the country that I want to send […]
Kid’s Birthday Bonanza Triple-fold cards

Surprise gate-fold Boho Indigo card
I’ve had the Stampin’ Up! Boho Indigo product medley since it first came out, but it was still sitting unopened in my craft area. After attending the “Creativate Winter 2021” online stamp retreat, I pulled out this suite to create a surprise gate-fold card demonstrated by Lisa Curcio. I’ve made gate fold cards before, but […]
Another look at Dandy Garden suite
Today’s three cards were actually the first 3 I made using the Dandy Garden suite during Stampin’ Up!s virtual OnStage at home in November. We were able to purchase this was the stamp set to participate in a “Mystery Stamp.” Have you ever heard of or participated in a Mystery Stamp? I’ve just recently started […]
Fall card redos – another class card remake
As I was explaining last week (see post here), I’m trying to finish projects “from by-gone days!” I took leftover card kit pieces from several fall card kits I had to create these cards using the Freshly Made Sketch templates as inspiration. As I’ve said many times, if you need inspiration, go see FMS or any […]
