My July stamp clubs made this Softly Sketched Faux Charcoal Technique card this month. This Faux Charcoal Technique is straight out of the Stampin' Up! catalog and super simple, but also a cool effect. Sometimes, those designers sneak in an easy technique right ...
I designed this Bird's Eye View card for my Stamp Clubs this month. Even though I don't usually go for the cute type sets, this one is undeniably super cute. Copying the sample in the catalog, I left off the color behind the glasses. But, I also added Wink of ...
I designed a couple of cards using the Just My Type stamp set. This one doesn't have dies, but the images are easy to cut out. Also, the Masterfully Made designer paper pairs perfectly with this set since many of the designs have words printed in the ...
Last Saturday, I had a couple of team members over for the Creativity Now event. This is the second year that Stampin' Up! has done this event for us. It allows demonstrators to get our hands on an upcoming stamp bundle way before the catalog pre-order. Plus, ...
I did the collar cut card technique for my local Stamp Club this month. It's a super simple cut technique to add visual interest to the front of your card. Plus, you can show off both sides of the designer paper with this cut. Also, both of my card samples are ...
My first impression of the Masterfully Made designer paper was that it was too colorful for me. I'm more of a mono-tone girl. But, it kept grabbing my attention, and I love how the ripped and embossed texture is captured in the paper's design. I finally ordered ...

I love the Hello Ladybug set, but the punch only punches the ladybug. Well, now we have the Tropical Leaf (online exclusive) which is the perfect size for the ladybug to sit on. I couldn't decide which color I liked best for my stamp club to make. My daughter ...
I was inspired to create this Sea Turtle card with the Rays of Light background from a much simpler version I saw someone make. Since there isn't dies for the Sea Turtle set, I fussy cut the turtle. But, you can also give it some dimension by shaping it with ...
At my retreat, I designed this Countryside Corners Boho Blue card for Stamp Club next week. I love all the graduated dies bundled with the stamp set. Use them for frames, greeting tags, & mats. Plus, they can be stamped or embossed. I made a few designs ...
I'm using the Cheerful Daisies and the Crafting With You for my Open House make'n'takes. I keep wanting to call this new pink, Bubble Gum, but it's Bubble Bath...lol. Even though I'm not a big pink fan, it's really soft and pretty especially paired with the new ...
