Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we are showcasing stamp and die bundles. My card today is a smaller version of the slimline card. This is 3.5" x 6". One of my favorite sets in the July-December Catalog is the Yeti To Party set. However, I really resisted purchasing this one because it initially did … [Read more...] about New at SU-Yeti To Party
September Sampler-Back 2 School
It's that time of year where kids are back in the classrooms. I love the freedom of Summer, but there's just something about getting back to the daily schedule and routine. This year is a little different for me since only one of my kids is back in school. It's a little strange when they finish college and Fall hits. I asked my son how he felt with school starting up and knowing he was all done with it. He said, it feels like he needs to get a … [Read more...] about September Sampler-Back 2 School

Last of the Pumpkins.. For Now
Two weeks ago, I attended Stampin Up's BackStage event for leaders. At the event, we had a "Sweets and Swaps" party. Swaps are cards that we make to trade with other Demonstrators. Most people make things that can be easily replicated to share with others. There are lots of little gift type items too, like treat boxes for candy. These are the two swaps that I took with me. I can't decide if I like the green or the rust color better. … [Read more...] about Last of the Pumpkins.. For Now

Let’s Talk Backgrounds
Stampin Up sells these beautiful embossing folders you can use to create a lovely background. But, you need a die cut machine if you're going to use them. I know it sounds crazy, but not every crafter has a die cut machine or wants to get a die cut machine. And sometimes, I just don't want to get out the big die cut machine to use the embossing folders. You can still make a great background using just stamps and ink. For today's card, I … [Read more...] about Let’s Talk Backgrounds
When I’m Stuck..
When I'm stuck in a creative rut or I can't decide what to make, I turn to our Catalogs. Our Catalogs are great Idea Books too. I love all the samples they have. Most of the time, I create my own projects. Sometimes I'll copy an idea from the Catalog just to get the creative juices flowing. And sometimes, I'll take ideas and change them up. Today's card is just like the one in the Catalog. This is a quick card because most of the … [Read more...] about When I’m Stuck..
