For ideas, inspiration and tutorialsMemorable Blooms
Last night I did my FB live with the Memorable Blooms cards. What a fun bundle! I realized two things early on -- for the diecut hexagon with the inlaid pattern, you need to cut both the outer hexagon plus the "fancy die within" at the same time for best results (and to have an independently standing hexagon! The 2nd thing I discovered is ... adhesive sheets are your friend with this fancy die! I showed 3 different patterns -- the front card uses the hexagon die, cut out of the top layer. If...
Regal Winter Panel Card
This week I've been focusing on the Regal Winter designer paper in the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog. This paper is beautiful and, just like it's name, very "regal". I love the colors of the paper -- I do tend to navigate toward the Regal family of papers and inks anyway most of the time, but that's probably why I love it so much! Did you catch my FB live yesterday? I said in my newsletter that this live was me "being real". If you need to feel better about yourself, check out the YouTube video...
A Playdate with Stampin’ Up!’s Playful Ghosts
I featured the Playful Ghosts stamp set on my FB live this week These little guys are so much fun to color! Although we don't have any specific holiday paper in the new Mini Catalog, I made due!

Mediterranean Blooms Cards
I featured the Citrus Blooms stamp set on my FB live this week, but, more specifically, I featured the fabulous Mediterranean Blooms 12x12" DSP! I love the blues and yellows of this DSP. Of course, the oranges are great too, and I'm pretty sure that the citrus are actually supposed to be oranges and not lemons, but that doesn't work with the DSP! So, I took creative license and colored my oranges to look like lemons! All of the cards were so simple to make -- I think the hardest time I had was...
