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!

The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video
I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle.
How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card
We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card!
I used the Friendly Hello bundle from our 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. See it here.It's free with any $100 purchase from my online Stampin' Up! store.
Isn't it extraordinary!? Everyone loved their finished card and most were surprised at how easy it was. Here's a close-up of the inside.
The colors include Fresh Freesia, Granny Apply Green Pool Party, Shaded Spruce, Black & Petal Pink. I chose to focus on the Fresh Freesia & Granny Apple Green for this card.
Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2" & 7 1/2" White 4" X 4 3/4" & 2 3/4" X 4" plus scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut Pale Papaya scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut Granny Apple Green 3/4" X 10" scored at 3 1/2" & 7 7/8" Friendly Hello DSP for bag – 4 X 9 1/2" scored on the 4" side at 1/2" & 3", and on the long side at 1/2", 4 1/2", 5", 5 1/2" & 9" & DSP for front 3 1/4" X 4" & 1 3/4" X 4"
the leaves & buds are punched with the Bough punch seen here

If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed!
One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos. She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.
I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me! Incredible!
