You know those weeks when you are so super busy that you can't imagine fitting in one more activity.  Then it's over and you look back with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.  That was last week.  We had our Live Demonstrator event for all demonstrators that wanted to come from all around the Indiana area.  Such a good time.  Quite a bit of work (but the fun kind!). Then you have the week following.  It feels like it should be far less busy - but in reality - us girls know that is … [Read more...] about Faux Hologram: Stampin’ Up!

Taking a short break from my series on Sweet Treat Packaging because "real life" stamping has interrupted. We have our Live Holiday Catalog Demonstrator event this Saturday.  As with all Stampin' Up! events - swapping will be a fun part of our day. Swapping is when you make a whole lot of ONE thing and then swap with all the other talented stampers there to come home with a bunch of creative projects using things you may not even have. Here is my swap - see how I can create … [Read more...] about Creating Multiple Cards for Christmas, Invitations, Swaps, Etc: Let It Snow & Stampin’ Up! Stamparatus

  Today's tutorial is super quick and so very easy! Here you go! This is the second in a series I am doing this week of "Sweet Inspirations"  Join me over on YouTube for ideas on favors, treats, packaging, decor - several of them can double as both! One of reasons I am ok with letting go of summer (is it my favorite season...I do love being warm....and outside and in the sun....) is that it leads in to Autumn.  The candy makers go all out to  find ways to match our … [Read more...] about Autumn Sweet Treats Video Series: Hershey’s Monster Kisses Boo To You Stand Up Treat Holder

Phew...I have been on a STAMPING FRENZY!  This morning I finished the last official project for all of our upcoming live and online Holiday Catalog events.  It makes you feel so accomplished - and have such inky fingers!  All the while when I was working on those I wanted to do this little treat box - so without even cleaning up my space - I whipped it out.  Super quick.  Super cute.  Here's the tutorial: Did you like my little interruption with nature?  Seriously, when you work from home … [Read more...] about M&M Tiny Treat Clear Boxes with Birds of a Feather

Today's tutorial mixes it ALL up!  Here we go - just click the video above Sometimes you might not like ALL of the items that come in a suite - or sometimes a stamp set might be on it's own and not have any other things that go with it.  That was the case with this stamp set, Nature's Beauty. If you just give this card a quick glance you probably would never realize that is even the set I used.  After all it will surely be known as the "animal" set or the "charity" set for this … [Read more...] about How To Mix Stampin’ Up!

For today's tutorial I am going back on how to copy a card.  I have a few more of them coming up.  I am hoping to show you how to see something in a class or online that you love and for you to be able to adapt it using what you have! The card I was inspired by today was designed by one of my teammates for a shoebox swap we had at a Stampin' Up! event earlier this year in Indiana.  The lovely Shannon West came to work with us and we then stamped that night.  Christy Fulk brought the card on … [Read more...] about How To Copy a Card – To a Wild Rose with Stamparatus Tutorial

Here is another one of this week's camps cards!  You will be shocked just how easily it comes together! The set offers so many possibilities. It includes sentiments for Weddings, Thank You's and Sympathy.  I chose a sympathy for camp.  When creating sympathy cards I tend to keep them simple without much embellishment. The elegant dies do most of the work - with the pretty font, the lovely leaf stamps and some designer series paper that matches - the card comes together in just a … [Read more...] about Path of Petals – A Simple Elegant Card in Less Than 10 Minutes!
