VIDEO TUTORIAL: Bootiful Halloween Witches Broom Lollipop
September 28, 2012 by
We are "popping" into Halloween with a 2 part Witches Broom gift video series on ...well...pops! Tootsie pops & popping corn to be exact.
Our first project is a fun way to recycle some of that paper packing that comes in our Stampin' Up! orders! Making a Tootsie Pop witches broom candy treat will WOW your little (or big) ghouls this Halloween season, while "going green" at the same time. Plus when you order these supplies thru my online store, you get the packing paper FREE with you order!!

September 14, 2012 by
Every time I look at the 2012 Holiday Catalog I swear I see something new that I haven't seen before. There is so much packed into that 39 page book of awesomeness LOL! This card combines several fabulous new products from it, the ice skates are from the Winter Memories stamp set, the Holiday Frame impressions folder and Windows Framelits. Created by Beth Harple.
Ornament Keepsakes Card
September 13, 2012 by
Have you seen the new Ornament Keepsakes Bundle in the Holiday Catalog? OMG! I love this set, matching stamps and framelits to cut out the stamp set ornaments. LOVE IT! And the tree branches were created with the Lovely as a Tree stamp set. This gorgeous card was created by Rose Tsou.
Did you know?
Lovely as a Tree is one of the oldest stamp sets in the Stampin' Up! catalog, and now it comes in clear mount! True story!!

Perfectly Preserved Jar Card – Part 2
September 10, 2012 by
Another stinkin' cute card idea using the Perfectly Preserved bundle. Can you stand it?! This card also uses a touch of SU Essentials fabric for the jar lid. I lvoe the gingerbread man and hot cocoa.
I'll be heading to St. George, Utah to attend Stampin' Up!'s Founders Circle retreat. I'm really excited to have a little R&R and spend some time with the Top 100 demonstrators in the company. I will be posting updates on my Stampwithtami Facebook page >
BIG NEWS!!! Speaking of my Facebook page, if you're a follower of it, or my newsletter, you know I've been sitting on some HUGE NEWS that is eating me up from the inside because I can't share it yet. Well the time is almost here for me to let the "cat out of the bag". Wednesday, September 12 is the big day when I can finally shout it out from the roof tops!!! Stay tuned for more.
Perfectly Preserved Jar Card – Part 1
September 9, 2012 by
I just love the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and accessories in the new Holiday catalog. So stinkin’ cute! and I love the Cannery set framelit dies that cut each piece out. You can purchase them together in the bundle, or separately. What really makes this card stand out is the… Tweet LEaves and A Day of Gratitude
September 8, 2012 by
This is another great card using the "A Day of Gratitude" stamp set. Yesterday, I used the same greeting on the Autumn Accents leaves card video tutorial. This card was created by Kathie Rotti, she used a baby wipe and drop the ink pad refills on it to create her on ink pad and stamp the images in the multi colors. Perfect for fall!
VIDEO TUTORIAL: Autumn Accents Leaves Card
September 7, 2012 by
Autumn Accents Bigz Die, and Day Of Gratitude stamp set.
Fall is in the air , and being from New England I am in love the fall colors. The trees, the leaves, it's such a brilliant and beautiful masterpiece. This card is my tribute to fall and Thanksgiving. A case from Stampin' Up!'s recent Regional Event a few weeks ago, this card is fantastic, fun and easy. Featuring the new Blast Off Astronaut Card
August 31, 2012 by
This one is in honor of Neil Armstrong. The astronaut in all of us mourned the loss of a hero this past week. This stamp set seemed appropriate, as it's every little boys fantasy to be a spaceman. The Blast Off stamp set (#125944, wood #125946), coupled with the new Chevron impressions folder for the textured background pair nicely together.
Frightening Feline Cards – Part 3
August 31, 2012 by
Here are a few more fun Frightening Feline Halloween cards. The Frightening Feline is a single stamp in the new 2012 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. These cute cards came from the Providence, RI Regional Event this past weekend.
VIDEO TUTORIAL: Field Flowers Sympathy
August 30, 2012 by
Today's video tutorial offers a super cool masking technique, creating the effect of a "faux layer" and adding dimension to the card. The gorgeous flowers come from the Field Flowers stamp set, which is a 2-step stamp set. 2-step stamp sets offer a quick easy solution to coloring, as there are 2 stamps to each image that can be stamped in different colors (demonstrated in the video). Add the Petite Pairs word stamp set and this sympathy card becomes an all occasion card simply by changing the words.
Providence Regional Event
August 29, 2012 by
This past Saturday (Aug 25) myself and almost 20 demos and friends from my group were able to attend the Stampin' Up! Regional event in Providence, RI!! Wow, so many ideas and so much fun. It was just what the Dr. ordered, a little "stamp time" with friends. A great time was had by all. Here's a couple of pictures, I'm sad I didn't get one of the whole group together...next time!

It's time for some freaky fun "Toxic Treat" Halloween projects. Who doesn't love giving Halloween candy and treats for the kids, little and big. Today's video tutorial is a super easy and fun "window" goody / candy box, using the Simply Scored tool from Stampin' Up! and a super stinkin' cute box top made from the Scallop Square big shot die of all things. This box is big enough to fit lots of candy, and other gifts. More fun video tips include glass glitter and pop up banners.

Ship in a Bottle Card
August 20, 2012 by
How do they do that?! The "impossible bottle" is a bottle that has an object inside it that does not appear to fit through the mouth of the bottle. The ship in the bottle is a traditional example, and in the case of this card maybe the easiest "ship in a bottle" to create since all you really have to do is "stamp it" in there lol.
This card is more than a sailors dream, any sea-lover would enjoy it's creativity. Created with the Open Sea stamp set (#123030 wood, #123032 clear mount).
Need for Speed Race Car
August 19, 2012 by
Here's another great card from one of my new favorite stamp sets: Need for Speed set (#122715 wood, #122717 clear mount). Yesterday I posted a video using the airplane. This was a display sample I saw at Stampin' Up convention, the car was stamped repeatedly, without re-inking for the "motion" effect.
VIDEO TUTORIAL: Fighter Jet Plane Love
August 18, 2012 by
Sky-writing some love today in a tribute to our military pilots, my Grampy included. Whether Air Force, Navy or just a jet plane lover (I know a few) this card will be a big hit! The plane from the Stampin' Up! Need for Speed set (#122715 wood, #122717 clear mount) looks close to the F-18 fighter jets my kids and I love to watch. My video tutorial demonstrates how to create this high flying fun, originally designed by Vicky Hayes.
Hello Doily Sympathy Card
August 17, 2012 by
This is a beautiful sympathy card, created with the Hello, Doily background stamp (#122845 wood, #122847 clear mount). The sentiment is from the Word Play stamp set (#120308 wood, #120651 clear mount). The ink color is Soft Suede on Very Vanilla card stock. Very soft and elegant.
Hello Kitty Card
August 14, 2012 by
Hello Kitty is one of the most recognized characters, and now...she's a card! With just a few punches, she's complete. Love the red glimmer paper, the perfect effect for the bow. The bow was created with our old butterfly punch and a circle, but you can create a very similar bow with the heart punch (twice).
World Treasure Peacock Card
August 13, 2012 by
Peacocks are famous for their showy feathers, and this World Treasures stamp set (#126765 wood, 126767 clear mount) set is a lot of fun to "show off". The words are from the new Sweet Essentials stamp set (#126455 wood, 126457 clear mount). Created by Linda Cullen, colored with Stampin' Write markers in Marina Mist, Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight & Real Red.
Bootiful Occasions Card Part IV
August 12, 2012 by
"Warm Winter Wishes down to your toes" - switching holidays from Halloween to Christmas with this stinkin' cute Bootiful Occasions Stamp Set (#126595 wood, #126597 clear mount) card. Created by Tina Petko. If you're a "shoe hound" *ahem* I mean "shoe lover" like me, you'll appreciate the boots this super fun stamp set.
