Update on our move to Bismarck, ND

July 31, 2026

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!

Unique Silver & Gold Designer Paper technique ideas with video!

August 4, 2022

I played with the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper on this week's FB Live and this is one of my favorite projects:

My goal was to share different ways to add color to this pretty metallic themed paper. for this card I used our Water Brushes and our 2022-24 In Color ink. I filled the water brush with water, using the largest brush, added a wash of four of the five colors.

This card layout is one referred to as the Stack & Cut technique. You start out with at least 2 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut using the template below. It's so easy and is a fabulous way to showcase your designer paper.

The sentiment is from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set – a free choice from our Sale-a-Bration catalog. This stamp set is free with any $100 Stampin' Up! order. See all of the Sale-a-Bration free choices here.

If you want either of these products why not take advantage of my BOGO sale and get free products from me with our purchase. You'll still get New products from Stampin' Up! but also get to choose from my big bunch of retired Stampin' Up! products. See details below, or view them all in my two albums here on my FB page.

CUTE Butterfly Kisses Card Kit to go or Tutorial

August 3, 2022
I chose to feature the Butterfly Kisses designer paper for one of my August card kits to go. It's so colorful & bright!

Save

I created 2 each of 5 different cards; a few are special fun fold designs. I find it quite enjoyable to create when I gather products that 'work' together so easily. I let the colors in the DSP guide me and added Starry Sky ribbon & Fun Flowers resin shapes for accents.

If you like these cards you have a few options; get the pre-cut kit to go with the PDF tutorial or just the PDF tutorial only.

The pre-cut kit includes the following:
- All pre-cut pieces including punched or die-cuts
- 1/2 pkg of 6 X 6" Butterfly Kisses DSP (you'll cut using the directions)
- a share of Starry Sky Metallic Woven ribbon
- a share of Fun Flowers Resin Shapes
- The free PDF tutorial – photos, step by step directions, measurements & a supplies list
Choose the pre-cut kit here or the PDF tutorial here.
