One of my favorite crafting tools is my Cut & Emboss machine. I think I use it almost every single day. And to have a stamp in the same image as my die cut machine is just the cutest thing ever. Plus...there's a die to match to cut out my stamped die cut machine! I cut a slit in the stamp so I could feed some pattern paper through the machine. Our actual die cut machine comes in white and blue. But if they come out with a pink version, … [Read more...] about One of my Favorites

Daisies In Blue
I've been trying out a variety of the color combos in the patter paper. I thought my favorite was the pink and mauve that I used last week. But now I'm loving the blue and white daisies. So pretty! I love all the different color combos in this Suite. And I have it just in time to start making some Mother's Day cards. Don't worry, I have more than just the Daisy Suite to share with you. Up next is the Crafting With You bundle. … [Read more...] about Daisies In Blue
More Daisies
I'm back today with more of the Fresh as a Daisy Suite. I used another one of the bold pattern papers for the background on my card. And I also stamped the daisies directly on the pattern paper too and then die cut them. The more I use the bold pattern paper, the more I like it. I'm trying to find more ways to show off the great paper, but still add all the daisies to it. What do you think? Is this one too busy? Or is it right on? Comment … [Read more...] about More Daisies
New Stampin Up Year, New Stamps
It's official.. the new Catalog started yesterday! I spent last weekend working on some projects using brand new products from the new Catalog so I would have lots to share. First up is the Fresh As A Daisy Suite. This was one of the items we could order early as a demonstrator. The muted colors in the pattern paper kind of remind me of the 1970's color palettes. I'm sure I'm not the only one that remember fridges came in wild colors like … [Read more...] about New Stampin Up Year, New Stamps
Flowers For You
Today I have another project using the Bottled Happiness bundle. This time I used the vintage bottle domes with the effervescent elements inside. The effervescent elements look like little bubbles inside the jar. I struggled on where to put a sentiment on this card. I didn't want to cover up the flowers or the bottle. Then I remembered how a lot of times a flower bouquet will include a pic inside of it with the little card attached. I tried … [Read more...] about Flowers For You
Bottled Happiness
One of the fabulous new sets in this year's Annual Catalog is Bottled Happiness. This set has this great old fashioned bottle in it plus the pretty flowers and leaves stamp set. One great thing about this set is that the flowers and the leaves are separate stamps. This makes it easier to stamp both of them in different colors. I used this particular card in one of my recent customer thank you cards not too long ago. I send thank you cards … [Read more...] about Bottled Happiness
Ale Yes It’s Friday!
We're celebrating the end of the work week with a nice cold one. Who wouldn't love a giant frosty cold mug of this refreshing beverage? I love the over-flowing foam on this giant mug of beer. This card would be perfect for cheering someone on, or congratulating them on an accomplishment. You could even use this to celebrate a birthday. The options are endless. Cheers! Brewed For You Bundle (English) - 159093 Price: … [Read more...] about Ale Yes It’s Friday!
