How to create a beautiful scene with the Peaceful Pier set; a free project sheet & video tutorial


I shared a video tutorial on how to create this gorgeous scene last week.  

I used the Peaceful Pier stamp set, inks and blending brushes.  

I first stamped the dock and tree images using Black Memento ink. Then added a few more 'grass' images at the bottom. Next you add ink with Blending Brushes.  I used Lost Lagoon for the water, Granny Apple Green for the grass, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight for the sky. 

I did color the dock and trees with Blends markers. I did not need to mask anything. As long as you're adding ink lightly with the Blending Brushes you shouldn't need to.  

After I was finished adding color I used the Textured Notes dies to cut my image into 2 pieces. Ad added the frame to a Black CS layer and added the center with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I love the dimension this gives to the card scene. 

Here is the free project sheet for this card: Click on the following link to download or print it. Download Peaceful Pier scenic card

Below is the video tutorial on how to add ink smoothly with Blending Brushes.  I hope you watch it!

  • Adorable Poppin’ By card swaps


    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!


    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!

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


    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!
