Hey, Birthday Chick
When the January-June Catalog was released, there was a small delay in the arrival of the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set for an awesome reason. Guess what? Stampin Up released dies to coordinate with the stamp set. How cool is that! You know me, I love matching die sets. It makes creating with the stamp set so much easier. Not only that, but the die sets usually come with some fun extras like the streamers I used below. I don't usually … [Read more...] about Hey, Birthday Chick
You Had Me At Stamps
This is my last card using the Loving You Always Suite, for now. :) The pink and black and white combination is just so pretty, I couldn't resist using it over and over. The Metallic Foil paper comes in the three colors, so you have plenty of options to make lots of different things. I used the heart border die for the top of my tag. It's a little heard to see in the picture because of the tiny size of the hearts, but it's pretty in real … [Read more...] about You Had Me At Stamps
Love You
Happy Wednesday! I've got a couple more Valentine's Day projects I need to share before Valentine's Day. Today's card uses the beautiful floral heart die in the Floral Heart Die set. The die is almost the same size as the card front. I used the die on our vellum paper and it makes a beautiful frame around the pink metallic heart. I am totally in love with this pink metallic pattern paper. The copper foiling on the paper is just so pretty … [Read more...] about Love You

15 Years!
When I joined Stampin Up, I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew I didn't want to pay full price for my craft supplies any longer. I had no ambitions to hold parties, work events, or have a Stampin Up business. I had so much fun making cards with my new supplies that I started sharing cards with friends. A couple friends asked me to show them how to make cards too and that's where it all started... 15 years ago! I received this … [Read more...] about 15 Years!
My Whole Heart
Our Stampin Up Catalogs are great resources for project ideas. Today's card is very similar to one of the cards in the new January-June Catalog. I love that the Catalogs have lots of ideas so I can just borrow an idea when I need to. This card uses the new Blending Brushes to add the pink shading behind the heart. The heart is punched out and added using our dimensionals so you can see a hint of the pink outline around the heart. I have … [Read more...] about My Whole Heart
We’ve Been Busy
My assistant, Frannie and I were busy all weekend getting the last of the Holiday decorations put away and getting more projects made from the new January-June Catalog. Frannie can really get on me when we have a long to do list. Here she is telling me our staff meeting time is over. She was most insistent that I get back to paying attention to her. Can you tell? I swear my eyes were closed for only a couple minutes. Thank goodness for … [Read more...] about We’ve Been Busy
