Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique

August 11, 2021

Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in. I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.

It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match. It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!

The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies. You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles. What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame! See it here in the online store.

Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first. Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center. Then huff and stamp. Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.

I shared my retired BOGO items for sale on FB Live last week. There are over 100 items left; mostly stamps, dies, bundles and embossing folders. You can see the video here on YouTube. However the most updated list is in the album here on my FB page. *I update & delete items as they are sold.

This sale will stay open through August 14th. If you have a list of current Stampin' Up! items you want to buy why not double dip and get lots more free with this BOGO?!

Finally! We’re getting a new Stampin’ Positioner!

January 23, 2026

Stampin’ Up! has created a new Stampin’ Positioner for us! Since they had to take the Stamparatus off the market we’ve been waiting for a new tool for perfect stamping. Well, it’s now here!

As you can see in the photo above it’s a brand new design. It has two clear plates, easy to use magnets and a brand new ‘press’ type mechanism.

Right now for those who are a Demonstrator, it’s available to pre-order until February 2nd for $49. After that, the new Stampin’ Positioner will be added to the Starter Kit FREE in February!

The cost of the Starter Kit is $99 and includes $125 in product of your choice. But in February, they’ll add in the new Stampin’ Positioner to ALL Demo’s starter kits!

This is super exciting for us Demo’s now and also for those that join in February!

It sounds like the general population will have to wait to get theirs…. but they promise it will be available sometime later this year to everyone.

Quick Notecard idea with the Banner Sayings bundle

January 20, 2026

I needed to send a few special cards to my Team members this weekend and so I created these cute notecards:

The large piece of designer paper is 4″ X 3″ and the bottom strip is 4″ X 1″. I added a 1/4″ strip of textured Coastal Cabana between them (I found it in my scraps).

I chose to make notecards because the package I was sending their prizes in was narrow and these fit perfectly.
Did you know we carry pre-scored notecards with envelopes? The package includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes for just $10. You can see them here.

I chose the Hobby Haven designer paper because of it’s colors and ‘hobby’ themed prints. See it here. It’s part of our Online product selection.

I decided to feature the Banner Sayings bundle for a few reasons. It’s quick with the coordinating punch and the greeting I chose fit my needs perfectly. Click here to see it. The new Triple Banner punch was out of stock for weeks! But now it’s back.
