Did You Know?
Did you know that you can color any of our ribbons using our Blends markers? This means you can have ribbon in just about any of our colors. I used one of our Fresh Freesia Blends markers to color this beige ribbon. When coloring your ribbon, you will need to allow it time to dry. Otherwise, you may get ink on your project. I will usually let it dry for a couple hours or overnight before trying to use the ribbon. By being able to use my … [Read more...] about Did You Know?
Thoughtful Journey Suite
I told myself I didn't need another floral stamp set. And then I saw the dies that came with it. And the paper. And then tons of fabulous ideas online from other people. So of course I had to get it. This Suite did not disappoint. The pattern paper is absolutely gorgeous. Plus the coordinating foil specialty paper is amazing as well. I used a bit of it to cut out my purple stems below. I don't know that I would usually pair dark green … [Read more...] about Thoughtful Journey Suite
Shy Shamrock
I'm rounding out the week with another new card showcasing another new In Color - Shy Shamrock. This is another one of the make and takes from the recent Stampin Up OnStage event in March. These events are one of my favorite things about being a Demonstrator. There is nothing like the excitement of thousands of Demonstrators all gathering together to share their friendship and love of crafting. Stampin Up has a great special right now for … [Read more...] about Shy Shamrock

This is one of the make and takes from the recent Stampin Up OnStage event. The Country Flowers stamp set is a new stamp set in the new Annual Catalog. This set comes with matching dies. I didn't use the dies this time around, but will definitely use them for a future project. To save some time on coloring, I used our blending brushes to add color to the stems and flowers. I love the abstract look it gives. One of my favorite new In … [Read more...] about Country Flowers
You Mean So Much…
I'm back today with another card using the Enduring Beauty bundle. I love these flowers in yellow. They are so pretty. I used the stencils again to color the flowers. Each layer has it's own stencil, which makes it so quick and easy to color everything. I've seen a copy of our brand new Annual Catalog that starts in May and it has another stamp bundle that includes a stencil to make the coloring so much easier. The Enduring Beauty … [Read more...] about You Mean So Much…
Enduring Beauty
One of the new stamp sets in the January-April Catalog has a fun accessory. The Enduring Beauty stamp set comes with layered stencils so you can color the entire stamp with one color at a time. This makes coloring the stamp so quick and easy. I love this feature. I was able to color the entire stamp in just a few minutes. Coloring with stencils is so easy and so fun. I highly recommend giving this bundle a try. Enduring Beauty … [Read more...] about Enduring Beauty
Last of the Lavender
Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing the last of my Lavender cards for now. This time I'm using the products from the Catalog rather than pairing it with the Paper Pumpkin kit. This Suite has been very popular and t's easy to see why. The pattern paper in this Suite is just so pretty. I really had a difficult time deciding which pattern to use first. I think this particular pattern would make a lovely wallpaper. Stamping the lavender is … [Read more...] about Last of the Lavender
