Last night was our monthly Downline Meeting. I love getting together with these ladies every month. This was a fun meeting because I was able to share all the new goodies from OnStage last weekend. We have so many new products coming in January - it’s always so exciting. Every month when we get together we make cards and trade them. It’s a fun way to get more ideas for projects. And we all enjoy making new things. This month’s swap theme was … [Read more...] about Snowman Season

I Survived OnStage
There really wasn't any doubt I would, but having had emergency surgery about five weeks ago, I was a little worried about whether or not I could keep up with the hustle and bustle of a trip. I did ok. Home now and totally exhausted. I'll share a recap of OnStage highlights as soon as I can get my pictures organized. On to today's project. Today's card is the same gift card holder I shared a couple weeks ago, using all new products. You can … [Read more...] about I Survived OnStage
October Customer Thank You’s
Happy Fri-YAY! OnStage kicks off tonight with their Leadership event called CentreStage. I am so thankful to all my customers and my downline. Without the support of all of you, I wouldn’t qualify for this event. I’m so excited to see what they will have in store for us this evening. Tomorrow is the main event – OnStage! We’ll be the first to see the brand new products in the Sale-abration and Occasions Catalogs. We’ll also be the first to … [Read more...] about October Customer Thank You’s
Tis The Season
A few weeks ago, I shared this beautiful Fall wreath that I made for a card. You can see it here. I received so many compliments on that card, I was seriously blown away. It was definitely a hit. And it's a card that is very easily replicated and it has such a wow factor. You definitely want to get your own set of the wreath dies so you can wow your friends and family too. While I had all the supplies out, I made a similar card for the … [Read more...] about Tis The Season
Gather Together
Before I jump into today's project, I need to tell you about Stampin Up's one day stamp sale. There are more than 50 stamp sets that are 15% off today only. Sale ends at 10:50 pm PST tonight. I’ve been dying to share more Holiday and Winter projects, but I still have a couple Fall projects that I haven’t had a chance to share yet so I’ll get to those first. One of the décor items I have hanging in my home is a small wreath. I have several of 6” … [Read more...] about Gather Together
Having A Ball
Today's card uses the absolutely adorable Let It Snow Suite. I don't know what it is about snowmen, but I love these little guys. And this one in particular looks so happy dancing in the snow trying to catch all the snowballs. I bet you're wondering how I was able to get the bright white snowman here. No, he isn't colored in using white ink. Instead I masked him off using a post it note covering his entire body and nose. Then sponged … [Read more...] about Having A Ball
Just DIY It!
What do you do when you can’t find just the right color of pattern paper? Well, you just make your own with your stamps! Making your own pattern paper is such a simple technique. And no two pieces of paper will be the exact same, which means your card is truly one of a kind. For this card, I started with one leaf and stamped it repeatedly across the card stock. Then the next leaf, and then the third leaf. The leaves are colored using Stampin … [Read more...] about Just DIY It!
Second Round of Thank You’s
On Friday I shared my September Customer Thank You card. You can see that card here. I had several customers that made more than one purchase during the month so I wanted to send them a different thank you card for the second order. This time I used the Come To Gather Suite of products. The background of this card is stamped in both the Delicata Gold and Copper stamp pads. The Delicata ink dries amazingly well and doesn't smear like some … [Read more...] about Second Round of Thank You’s
