January 31, 2022

Friendly Hello Easel Calendar Tropical Layers

Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper. You can go soft or bold with it!

On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here. I think they coordinate wonderfully.

You Are Amazing cards with Blending Brush ideas

February 15, 2021

Last week on my Tuesday Live I shared three cards featuring the You Are Amazing stamp set & the new blending brushes. I've always loved sponging and these new brushes are incredible! They are so popular they are currently on back-order; but you can still order them!

This cute stamp set is on page 7 of the Spring catalog. Click here to see it. It coordinates with the You Are Amazing card kit.

Join me here for my weekly 'Facebook Live on Tuesday, February 16th here at 11 am CT.

On this first card I used the Happy Dies to create a colorful title banner.

This was my favorite and also loved by many others too. I created a few 'star stencils' with the Stitched Stars dies and sponged in the windows.

I added a few Artistry Blooms sequins for extra bling.

And on this card I sponged on the True Love polka dot paper. It was Black & White but is now two-toned!

Welcome cards made with scraps & Field & Flower DSP

February 11, 2021

This week I've been sharing cards made with this beautiful Flower & Field DSP; it's free with any $50 order in February during Sale-a-Bration. See it here.

I created a colorful group of cards for my new Team members last week. I had a bunch of random pieces in the pack of Designer Paper and I decided to challenge myself to use mostly extras & just create!

Look at the fun colors and layouts! I grabbed my bags of scraps and a pile of White CS strips and just played. Have you ever done this?

Save

This Flower & Field DSP (seen here) has so many different color combos in it; all with a Black background. Honestly at first I wasn't sure I liked it. However I love to accent with black; it seems to make a card stand out beautifully. Looking at these cards now I just love i

This Designer Paper is free with any $50 order this month. But it ends February 28th! Plus you never know if they could run out. So don't wait!

Save

If you have a nice size wish list I hope you'll consider purchasing the Stampin' Up! Starter kit. It is such a great deal and no one on my Team has ever regretted it! In fact most say they wish they'd done it sooner!

While I'm very, very grateful for the $100 orders I'm getting I cannot help think that the order could be a Starter Kit purchase! Free shipping and 20% off future orders.

Save

Did you know?

In the Starter kit you get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6×6 DSP ($57.50), a free past Paper Pumpkin kit ($21) with no shipping on any of this ($20.35).

So instead of $223.85… you pay just $99?! What? Amazing!
