If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.
Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.
In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.
This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Two gorgeous cards with the Two-Tone Floral bundle with video
Here are a few more of the cards I shared in last week's FB Live that featured the Two-Tone Floral suite seen here. Click here to watch the video.
This first card shows off the large, gorgeous detailed die in the Two-Tone Floral dies. Can you see the shimmery paper under it?
That pretty Gold paper is part of the Fine Shimmer Specialty paper in the Spring catalog. It has 2 each of 3 colors including Gold, Soft Succulent & Fresh Freesia. See it here.
I stamped a few flowers and leaves from the bundle and die-cut them out with the coordinating dies. Then I added a 1" strip of Soft Succulent to anchor the flowers and the die-cut greeting onto. The greeting is from the Framed Florets stamp set.
Below is a photo of the bundle; it's a 2-step stamp set which means there are two images that match and are meant to be stamped over each other. One is a solid image and the other is a detailed image. You can stamp both with the same ink, the solid in a lighter hue (stamp off once first) and the detailed image over it without stamping off.
Some people stamp the solid image first and add the detailed over it. I found it easier to stamp the detailed first as it's a darker ink and more difficult to see through. Try it both ways to see what works for you.
This pretty bundle qualifies you to receive a free Sale-a-Bration choice if purchased during February. See all of the choices here.
Next is a gorgeous card featuring this same bundle but also adding in the Fancy Flora DSP. See it here. The patterns remind me of palette painting and the color combos are amazing! The Stampin' Up! artists are incredibly talented.
I added a bit of the new Navy Bordered ribbon from the Spring catalog and a stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. These dies are so popular they cannot keep them in stock. They are currently in low inventory 'again'!
They've updated the Clearance Rack with more products! Including stamp sets! But beware that many are in French. Be sure you get English if you want it. See it all here.
I made this pretty card using the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. It's called a Triptych layout. It's a great way to showcase a detailed stamp set.
