Cutest Crew Club card; quick & cute! Free project sheet too

May 11, 2026

This is one of the cards we made at my April card clubs; it features the Cutest Crew bundle.

The Cutest Crew bundle (seen here) has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock! The dies were available last week but now they’re gone again. They should be back the week of May 18th though. Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get a notification as to when they’re available.

My colors are Coastal Cabana with White, Pecan Pie & Crumb Cake. I used the Hobby Haven and Wood Grain Wonders designer papers on my card. Here’s the cat version:

I colored the critters in with Blends markers; stamping the images with Black Memento ink. The stitched die is from the Nested Essential dies seen here; one of my favorites.

I stamped the paw prints image repeatedly in the inside and added one of the pet die-cuts.

Which is your favorite?

I shared a video last week on Facebook and it’s now uploaded to my YouTube Channel. Plus you can access the free project sheet here.

We’re making explosion pop-up cards!!

November 23, 2020

On my Stamp with Me Live I shared these cards and how easy it is to make an explosion card.

These cards look pretty ordinary from the front but there's a surprise inside; see below:

Isn't it cool? And it's super easy to do. It's a 6" square of designer paper that you fold in halves with a bone folder. No measuring at all!

Here's the template for the explosion card.

Here's a masculine birthday made with the Plaid Tidings designer paper and Many Mates stamp set.

These are so fun to make. And you can add a bit more fun to the card by adding in some confetti, punched pieces or sequins to the inside. What a surprise they'll enjoy!

Join me here on the 2nd & 4th Mondays at 7:30 pm Central Time. You can either watch or prep your pieces to create right along with me!

Mini Coffee Carriers; a special gift with treats & glue stands!

November 20, 2020

Have you noticed the mini coffee carriers on page 9 of the Holiday catalog? They're actually quite large and should not be called mini! You can see the entire suite here.

My friend Marilyn made this one for me; casing the catalog project on page 10. It's so cool!

She used the Heartwarming Hugs and Wrapped in Christmas stamp set. She wrapped her coffee cups with Real Red CS. Tip; use strong adhesive like Tear & Tape for this.

Here's another version. I made these for my Flowerbug's Team that attended OnStage@Home a few weeks ago. It was filled with treats, apple cider packet and a liquid glue stand that we make *see photo below

I actually sprayed my coffee cups with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Real Red ink refill.

Here are the Multipurpose Glue stands included in the gift above. We have them available in my Shop here. They are $6 each.

We can fit three in a box for almost the same shipping cost. They make great gifts for your stamping friends!
