As I look out my grey and dreary November window today - this bright and sunshiny card is perfect for bringing a smile to my face!  How much fun to send to someone in the depths of this upcoming winter!!  It is a sneak peek from the upcoming January Mini Catalog (read more about that below!) Here is the tutorial: There are so many things I love about this suite - but it was that stinking cute pineapple die that made it the must have and the first up on my list to play with!  Just look … [Read more...] about Tropical Oasis: January Mini Catalog – Fabulous Pineapple Die Cut Card

Today's tutorial is one of the projects that we did at the class we hosted in Lansing before OnStage.  Who knew that some tiny scraps of Designer Series Paper and a Dice could result in such a cute miniature? Here's how simple they are (and find out for yourself  by coming to camp in December as the Christmas House is a project there!) This is another of the videos that I recorded when I was not feeling well - so I apologize for the way my voice sounds.... The houses really have … [Read more...] about Tiny Little Birdhouses with DSP & Stampin’ Up! Embellishments

This tutorial posted several days ago and I didn't have time to write a blog post that day.  I did want to add the still photos that I took - so here is a photo heavy blog post! This is another in my current series of copying cards. The card I copy (you can see it a few posts back or in the video!) was made using Waterfront. Waterfront is more of a 'summer' set - I had been able to add snow to the mountaintops - but I liked the more midwestern scene that Snow Front lets you … [Read more...] about How to Copy a Card: Waterfront and Snow Front with Buffalo Check

This week is going to be a crazy one.  I have several projects that are ready to be filmed - but I have come down with a bit of a bug and I have a horrible sore throat :(  We also have a huge FUN class coming up in Lansing.  So - trying to get ready for that, packing and all the while conserving energy so I can get better before we leave on Thursday morning. This project I filmed last week before I wasn't feeling well!  It's another in the series of copying cards. It is also the first … [Read more...] about How to Copy a Card: Birch Background with Snow Front and Ice Glitter
