I am an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for Stampin’ Up!, a premiere percrafting company that has more than 30 years experience providing quality rubber stamping and scrapbooking paper products, inks, stamps and tools! I love Stampin’ Up! and will be sharing ideas that you can duplicate in your own papercrafting space.

I teach papercrafting classes in my home in Lynnfield Massachusetts, and I try to do weekly facebook lives (uploaded to YouTube!) that feature different products that Stampin’ Up! carries. These FB lives are meant to inspire and teach. I love what I do and I love to share my inspiration with you! I can also help with scrapbooking or gift packaging idea

Purple Poppies!
One afternoon, a week or two ago, I had time to play in my stamping studio. Yes, I had fun, and no, I had no idea what I wanted to do! I decided to create a sampler ... a variety of squares using the Peaceful Poppies DSP and the 2 Poppies bundles in Stampin'...
“Bee Happy” Wall Organizer
I had a One-Day retreat last weekend, here in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. Luckily the weather held up for is, dropping several inches of wet snow only in the last hour or so. It's very hard to transport paper and paper crafts through a wet mess!...

More “Joseph’s Coat”!
Yesterday I shared how to do the Joseph's Coat technique, and I love that it is totally unpredictable! Well, today I have a 2nd card to share. I used brighter colors for my "under-stamping", and then a different color over.top. I have one tip to share with...
Joseph’s Coat Meets Daisy Lane
In my card class this week, my sideline/helper taught a great new technique (to me) called Joseph's Coat. It is essentially a sponged, emboss-resist surprise (as in you never know what you're going to get at the end) type of technique.This is the card we made in...
