CARD: Praying for You Sympathy Card
April 8, 2016 by
Gorgeous sympathy card from the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. The flowers are punched from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. The striped designer paper is from the Birthday Bouquet DSP. The ribbon is the natural Chevron ribbon, upside down so the stripes don't show. Designed by Liz Miller.
CARD: Dear Friend Card from Stampin Up Birthday Blooms
April 7, 2016 by
Today's card is another beauty from the Stampin Up Birthday Blooms stamp set in the Occasions Catalog. Put some adhesive (snail or fast fuse) on the back of the top layer and along the edges to secure the Silver thread so it doesn't slip. Colored with the blender pens (or you can use Stampin Write markers). A light sponging around the edges. Colors are Pink Pirouette, pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Basic Black. Designed by my friend Denise.

SUNBURST SUNFLOWER CARD
Today's sunburst sunflower card is so cool! The Stampin Up Sunburst die has been begging me to turn it into a sunflower lol. Talk about "outside the box". It came out even cooler then I pictured it in my head. Check out my youtube "how to" video below with the easy, step by step instructions. Step aside Linda Ronstadt...I broke out into a little sing along part way through the card making. It's not pretty, but no glass shattered when I hit the high notes so nothing was damaged lol. I left it in the video for your viewing enjoyment. I say "viewing" because you'll probably be covering your ears to block out the sound hahaha. You're welcome.Tuesday’s Stampin Scoop Show – Episode 5 – Retirement List & New Catty Dates plus Kits

April 4, 2016 by
LOADS OF THANKS CARD
I just love this Loads of Thanks card from the Stampin Up You're Sublime stamp set. The wheelbarrel is so cute with the flowers punched from the little flower punch in the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. The Paper accents are from the Pretty Petals designer paper stack. If you love designer patterned papers, and like ideas for them.

April 3, 2016 by
CURTAIN FOLD CARD
Today's card technique is called the "Curtain Fold" or "Drapery Fold". It's surprisingly easy, and really enhances the double sided designer paper. This card was created by my friend Martha for our Stamp It Demonstrator group card swap. She used the Botanical Builders bundle (matching stamps, paper and framelits) to pull it all together. See my youtube video below to learn how to make this fun fold technique. You'll be surprised at how easy it is. The measurements, and scoring details, are on the free pdf file below.VIDEO: How to make munching Erick the Elephant Card

March 31, 2016 by
A BEAUTIFUL RIDE CARD
This is such a fun card! I just love the Stampin Up A Beautiful Ride stamp set, with the Volkswagen Beetle. How stinkin' cute is this doggie in the back? Adorbs!! The background was created using the watercolor wash technique, with ink pads and aqua painters on Watercolor Paper. The card was watercolored in Cherry Cobbler and cut out. Designed by Liz Miller.How to make a Photoboming Giraffe Treat Box
March 30, 2016 by
PHOTOBOMING GIRAFFE
The story of George the Photobombing Giraffe....it all started in New Jersey of all places. I take my kids and friends on a road trip to 6 Flags Great Adventure every year for the extreme rides. They have a safari there with giraffes. Last year by accident we ended up on platform having a private feeding with the giraffes, and this happened:
What do ya think? I think it looks just like him lol! The kids won a stuffed giraffe to commemorate that day, that we’ll all never forget. We named him George the photobombing giraffe, and he still shows up in the background of our trip photos.
Tips & Tricks
On this video I'll show you how to make this stinkin' cute George the Giraffe treat box, including a few tips. Like how to keep those smaller framelits in place, and how to use the ear die for his face without getting the score line.
Tuesday’s Stampin Scoop Show – Episode 4 – Designer Paper Heaven
March 29, 2016 by
Looking for inspiration? This week Linda and I share over 40 projects and ideas all showcased from the 13 different paper packs of the Annual Catalog, up close and personal. As we get closer to the end of this Annual Stampin Up Catalog, and the retirement list (items that will be discontinued from our product line), we wanted to share these beautiful papers and ideas.
Most of the papers in the catalog get retired each year, and once the retirement list is announced (it hasn't been released yet) they will be "while supplies last" and sell out quickly. We encourage you to purchase your favorite papers now before it's too late.

CARD: Wishing You All the Beautiful Blessings of Easter
March 27, 2016 by
Happy Easter! Every Easter morning, my boys, my mom and myself get up at the crack of dawn (literally) and go to a sunrise service out in Grafton, Massachusetts. It's early, but it's worth it. Here's a picture I took last year. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
This card is such a beautiful card. Created with the Suite Sayings stamp set and Birthday Bouquet designer paper. The flowers were cut with the Botanical Builder framelits. Then watercolored with aqua painters and ink pads on Watercolor paper. The background ribbon is Jute.

March 25, 2016 by
For a few weeks now I've been stamping my blog projects live on Periscope. Normally, I'd be stamping projects these for the next day's post by myself and posting a photo. But one Friday afternoon, I turned on the Perioscope app while I was stamping and enjoyed it so much it's become a Friday afternoon "thing". I find myself looking forward to hanging out with you guys on Friday afternoons, and excited to make my project with you.
Since the big Sale-a-Bration event is ending in a few days (see below), I wanted to make one last tribute to SAB. So here's the card I made today. I posted the replay video below.
CARD: Friends & Flowers Fishy Thanks Card
March 25, 2016 by
I love this card from the Stampin Up Friends & Flowers stamp set. The fishy is so fun, and it's perfect with the It's Wild background stamp. He's punched out with the matching Festive Flower punch. The words are from the Suite Sayings stamp set. Designed by Tamra Davis.CARD: Fun Congratulations with the Celebration Balloons
March 24, 2016 by
Today's card is a fun congratulations card created with the Stampin Up Balloon Celebration stamp set and Balloon Bouquet punch. The banner comes from the Number of Years stamp set.

March 23, 2016 by
WEDDING CARD
This is my shimmery wedding card blog hop project. It's an elegant, shimmery wow card, created with the Stampin Up Birthday Blooms stamp set. I have the "how to" video below for quick and easy instructions. The coordinating Blushing Bride sequins, glimmer paper and card stock really pulls everything together. Even thought this was designed for a wedding card, you can switch out the greeting to many of the others in the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and make this for other occasions (Mother's day, birthday, sympathy, thank you, etc). Designed by Kim Wright.
The striped designer paper comes from the Stampin Up Timeless Elegance designer paper pack. Here are a few more video tutorials I've done using this beautiful paper:Tuesday’s Stampin Scoop Show – Episode 3 – SAB Final Countdown

VIDEO: March Paper Pumpkin Reveal, 4 Alternate Projects & Giveaway
March 20, 2016 by
CARDS
Very excited about this March 2016 Anniversary Special Edition Paper Pumpkin "blue box" kit. It's called "Pocket Full of Cheer", and it arrived in a Bermuda Bay box (instead of orange) this month. So fun! It is blue this month in honor of Paper Pumpkin's 3 year anniversary.
Since the box was Bermuda Bay, I decided to make my alternate cards to match it. These are quick and easy cards created from both the stamp sets and embellishments that came in the kit. Check out my video below to see the kit, learn how to make these cards, and check out my new giveaway.
This special note was inside the box. To celebrate 1 Million Paper Pumpkin kits, there will be a free bonus stamp set with April's kit. You must sign up before April 10 to get it.
Just a quick reminder that Stampin Up's Sale-a-bration event ends in less than 2 weeks. I've posted the SAB Paper Pumpkin special below, or you can click here for more details.
