September Specials and New Catalog Party this week!

September 1, 2026

It all begins today for Stampin’ Up! September specials! But before I get into those I have to remind my local gals to stop in for my New Catalog party on Thursday.

It’s the last event I’ll be holding at my home studio in Minot. We love our new home in Bismarck though but it is hard to say goodbye to our Minot friends. I sincerely hope I see most of you again since I hope to return occasionally for a class or Bunco event.

There’s a new Product of the Month for September and it’s a winner!

It’s called Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer paper and can be seen here. It’s yours for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 point. I love that they offer a new item each and every month. There’s a nice variety to choose from. I cannot believe there is still some of the Glow of Harvest DSP left. And the Begonia Belle stamp set is still available as well.

There is also a few new kits in our Kit Collection too. You can see it all here!

There are new Online Exclusives that start today! Click here to see them.

New Hot Foil products are here! Check them out here.

Get this free PDF tutorial with ANY online purchase from me in September! Gorgeous cards in this one!

Bendy Window card with free PDF & video tutorial!

August 21, 2023

I shared this super unique fun fold card on last week's Live video. If you're on Facebook please follow me here for my weekly Tuesday morning videos. If not, you can always follow my YouTube channel here.

As you can see it looks a bit tricky… but with my step by step tutorial it's not! I do have a PDF project sheet for it but even with the written instructions I the video posted below will help a lot.

I chose to use the Irresistible Blooms bundle and the Hello, Irresistible 6 X 6" designer paper (currently in low inventory). Both of these are Online Exclusives. My colors are Lost Lagoon with Soft Sea Foam.

There is a little fold of card stock under the stamped White tag that pops it up when the card is opened.

Here's a peek at it. There are three rolled up mini glue dots on the peak of this piece that adheres the tag to it.

I made a second version during the video using Petal Pink card stock.

Here's the PDF project sheet with measurements & a supplies list: Download Bendy Window card tutorial sheet. Which one do you prefer?

Abundant Beauty sunflower notecards with video tips

August 18, 2023

Here are a few more sunflower cards I shared on a recent video. All using the new Abundant Beauty decorative masks from the upcoming Holiday catalog.

These are our Vanilla notecards & envelopes. They're in the annual catalog and you can see them here online. They're perfect for quick thank you cards or an addition to a gift.

Here are the steps to creating the sunflowers. I shared tips in the video below:

There are 4 masks – the petals, the solid center, the details center and the leaves. I used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie and Old Olive inks.

For my greeting I chose the new stamp set So Sincere. It's filled with beautiful greetings; you're absolutely going to want it!

Holiday Catalog sneak peak video; the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks for gorgeous sunflowers!

August 17, 2023

Look at these beautiful sunflowers!

Can you tell that they're not stamped? I used a brand new set of decorative masks called Abundant Beauty, from the upcoming 2023 Holiday mini catalog. It's a set of 7 masks including 4 for the sunflowers, snowflakes, houndstooth and falling leaves.

I used sponge daubers and the following colors: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Pecan Pie.

After I added the images I textured it with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. Then added a bit more Crushed Curry ink around the edges.

I shared how to make this card step-by-step in the video seen here.

The greeting is from a brand new FABULOUS greeting set called So Sincere (from the upcoming Holiday catalog). It's incredible; you're all going to want it. It's on a die-cut from a new Autumn Leaves die set. I added a bit of the Natural Wavy trim to the bottom of the greeting piece.
