Fantastic card with the Merry Christmas stamp with a free project sheet & video

December 9, 2025

Save big on a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription. I love getting a crafty box in the mail each month!

Go here to subscribe.

The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

Here’s the free project sheet for you. Click here to download or print it.

Adorable Poppin’ By card swaps

May 22, 2025

Today I'm sharing 3 adorable cards made with the Poppin' By bundle from our latest Online Exclusive release.

Candace made this amazing fun fold card for our May team swap:

She folded her card front into a box and added lots of sponged popcorn and the cute box on the lower front. Note his sunglasses & shoes! They're part of the stamps & dies bundle. The corrugated card stock on the front mimics a box so well.

Do you see the window sheet strips on the two pieces of popcorn coming out of the box? They flutter when you move the card. She also added a 'wobble' to the top piece of popcorn. Love this so much!

Here's the Poppin' By bundle – stamp set & dies. So cute! See it here:

I received a few cute popcorn cards with my Disney swaps.

This first one is made by Marcia Besecker. She added so much detail to her card!

Lots of texture and fun details on this one!

Next is an adorable swap card made by Amy Storie. I love her choice of colors and the fun accents she added to her card.

This bundle is super cute don't you think?

Sneak Peek’s of upcoming products plus swaps!

May 20, 2025

Today I'm sharing swaps from the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip to Orlando, FL. And, are you ready for some sneak peeks of upcoming products?

Here are the display boards for our card swaps. We had the choice to participate or not and if we did we could make cards or 3d items. Cards were 26 count. I'll share mine soon.

Next is an upcoming kit you'll see in June from our Kit collection. Guess what!? It's a scrapbook kit!! I've been begging for this for years!

The photo above shows both cards and scrapbook pages made with this upcoming kit. It will be available on June 3rd.

~~~

Next is a new set of products we'll see in the Holiday catalog in September. Designer paper, coordinating cards & envelopes and a set of greetings ephemera in gold foil. These items will definitely be the featured product in one of my kits to go this fall.

And look a this pretty designer paper and stamp & die bundle! It will also be featured in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September.

I'm excited about this bundle because my friend Susie and I are sharing our products so we can both make samples.

Next you'll see the Perfectly Pears suite on a display board. These pretty products will be one of our new Online Exclusives seen in July.

Demonstrators will be able to pre-order it in June so you'll likely see projects shared with it very soon!

We had to stop in the M & M store in Disney Springs.

I could not resist taking a photo of all of these colors of M & M's!! Color is my jam! I could have stared at them for a long time!

Disclaimer: Less than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators earn the incentive trip.

Back from Disney World – the 2024 Stampin’ Up! incentive trip

May 19, 2025

We had a wonderful time on the Stampin' Up! annual incentive trip to Disney World. We got home late last night and even though we hoped to have a restful trip we were quite exhausted. These North Dakotans were not ready for 96 degree heat!

I'll share a few of our favorite photos today and more of Stampin' Up! products tomorrow.

This is what we saw on the TV screen when we arrived to our room:

Below is the view from our room in the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney World:

This basket was found in our room at the end of the first night there. A super neat felt basket (that folded flat) filled with some of our favorite snacks & beverages (a survey was sent to us last fall).

The beautiful nightly fireworks we could see from our resort. We spent many evenings at the outdoor cafe visiting with our friends and enjoying them.

I had to get a picture with Sara (SU CEO) with the paper chain background!

Our friends, Dan & Lori Heiling, Susie & Deke Wood and us at Hollywood Studios.

We at at the 50's Primetime Cafe in Hollywood Studios.

I'll share more photos tomorrow!
