The Gathering Moments bundle is one of the items from our Online Exclusives. Our Online Exclusives are items that are released online rather than in one of our catalogs. Stampin Up started releasing extra products online a couple years ago. This means they can release more new products every year. Hooray! I typically select one Fall themed bundle each year and this is the one I chose. At the time, I didn't realize the large leaf dies are … [Read more...] about Gathering Moments
Holiday Cards
Holiday Card
Here we are down to the last few days of the September-December Catalog, and I realized that I hadn't posted the card that I mailed out for the Holidays. I kept it really simple this year. Although after I started making them, I realized that I had to hand-cut the penguins for all the cards. Oh, boy! This is the last weekend to purchase items from the September-December Catalog. Be sure to check out the Last Chance List to get those items … [Read more...] about Holiday Card
Do You Do This Too?
I know when Christmas is coming every year. Yet, I still find myself hurrying to finish making my cards right before the Holiday. Even with the best of intentions, I always seem to be putting mine in the mail right before Christmas. I've been busy making Christmas cards this week. I'm hoping to have them done in the next couple days so I can have them in the mail before Christmas Eve. Wish me luck! Reindeer Fun Bundle (English) … [Read more...] about Do You Do This Too?
Snowy Wonder
Have you started working on your Holiday cards? It's still early December so there is plenty of time to make your own cards and drop them in the mail. I love using our pattern paper to achieve a quick result. I could have used our stamps and dies to make the snow globe, but I used a cut-out from our paper instead. It saved a lot of time and the card is just as nice as if I'd stamped it. The Snowy Scenes Suite is a full Suite of products … [Read more...] about Snowy Wonder
Making Your Own Background
One of the cards I shared Monday used the full-sized background die. It makes an amazing frame of pine boughs overlapping the interior of the frame. This is the die I'm referring to. Once you die cut the frame, you end up with a funny looking reverse image, or the inside piece from the frame. You can take that inside piece and use it to make a fabulous background. First, you'll want to center it over your card stock that you're going to … [Read more...] about Making Your Own Background

Above It All Once Again
Happy New Year! Are you ready for a bright new year, full of possibilities? I know I am. I'm not usually a resolution person but I'm definitely making some goals this year for things I want to accomplish. I don't know why I think there is a difference between resolutions and goals, but there is. I'm back today with my last card using the Above It All bundle. This time I'm using only the large trees and I made them all pink. I love the funky … [Read more...] about Above It All Once Again
