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!

Just a few days left both kits to go!!
There is just a few days left to get the striking Artistry Blooms cards kit to go! They are gorgeous!
Here are two of the fun fold cards included among the 5 different designs.
The second kit option available in July is the Four Seasons Floral kit. This is a 12 cards kit (2 full size and 10 note cards) with envelopes plus product.
3 cards with my ‘Life is Beautiful’ MDA stamp set!
You may have spied my stamp set in a previous post, but I haven't shared much yet! You can be sure I will be posting quite a few projects with it.
If you didn't know, it's a stamp set I helped create as a perk of achieving a Million Dollars in sales in my career with Stampin' Up! It's so cool to have my name posted under the stamp set in the upcoming 2020 August – December Stampin' Up! catalog!
I shared three technique cards using the Life is Beautiful stamp set on FB live last week. I did upload it to YouTube so everyone can watch. *see below
The top left card is created by stamping and heat embossing the leaves with White embossing powder. Then coloring over with Blends alcohol markers. Such a cool effect and actually fun to color too. The dark card stock covers most mistakes if you go off the image a bit.
I used Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point here. The greeting is from another MDA set called Ridiculously Awesome.
I stamped the tree twice to create a wider trunk and more branches. The colors here are Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede with Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock dots.
Aren't they fun? The back is flat and does not open. You could include a full card base on it instead of a flat piece if you'd like. I will write or sign the inside on the larger White part.
You might notice there are dots around some of the punched pieces. I used my Blends markers to add that fun detail. I also colored in some of the words on the greetings too. This stamp set is fun!
When you adhere the greeting on the front add adhesive to just the very top flap.
