Acorny Thank You Card from Stampin’ Up!

One of the fun parts of attending a Stampin’ Up! event is the chance we get to win free product.  I was lucky enough to win this really fun set called “Acorny Thank You.”  Of course there is a coordinating Acorn Builder Punch that I just couldn’t live without!  Look […]

Halloween Treat Bag: Happy Haunting!

Oh, how I wish I had a deliciously warm chocolate chip cookie right about now.  Make that two!  I could eat one and put one in this cute little treat bag. If you look closely, you can see that the bag is made from a Glassine Sheet that I embossed […]


Softly Falling Ocean Bubbles by Stampin Up

I love, love, love the new Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the upcoming 2015 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.  The folder is meant to create an embossed snowfall, but I turned the cardstock upside down to create an underwater scene.  Instead of falling snow, the little white embossed images […]

Stampin’ Up!’s Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack is fabulous!  The coordinating colors of Old Olive, Calypso Coral, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Mint Macaron, and Pacific Point are so dramatic.  You can use embellishments to make the patters whimsical or high-fashion, whatever you prefer.  I have a flair for the […]


Color Combination Inspiration, Day 3

The color combination for today’s card comes from the palm trees that surround me every day.  Even though the trees on the this card aren’t palms, the color scheme is the same as the majority of the palm trees I see out my window. I love Stampin’ Up!’s Fringe Scissors.  […]

Paper Cake Treat Boxes Made Easy with Stampin’ Up!

When I made this paper cake several years ago, I remember thinking how cool it would be if there were a way to create each piece with the Big Shot.  With my paper cake, I had to print out each separate piece onto cardstock and cut them out by hand.  […]


Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies: Part 3

When I chose to focus on Stampin’ Up!’s new Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies this week, little did I know how metaphoric the butterfly would be to my personal life.  Today, I said goodbye to my youngest butterfly as she flew off to Utah to study this summer.  It’s always a […]
