Today's card has a LOT going on! The video is a little longer than I like them to be - just over 7 minutes - I even cut out the fussy cutting - I did that ahead. If you order the Christmas in the Making stamp set from me - or place any order over $65 on my website during October I will send you an in depth PDF with additional tips on this card and the different techniques used on it. We did this card at my demonstrator stamp night last week. We made 10 different Christmas … [Read more...] about Christmas in the Making – with Blends and Embossing Paste

Playing with the New Blends and a FREE Wooden Storage Case Offer!
A fun sneak peek today playing with the new (and yet to be released!) Stampin' Blends. These are an alcohol based marker so they blend really well (thus the name). The color isn't saturated like regular markers. Here, see for yourself, in today's Short and Simple video.This is a card that we made last week at my demonstrator event. The end of the video you can see the comparison of the card made with the watercolor pencils and the one made with the new Blends. I … [Read more...] about Playing with the New Blends and a FREE Wooden Storage Case Offer!

Today's project is one that we will be making at camp this Friday. It uses one of the papers that is part of the Buy 3 Get 1 Free this month.

A Shiplap Feeling of Christmas!
Life in my little Stampin' Studio sort of feels like a whirlwind at the moment. So much is coming up - it gets easy to get overwhelmed....I am looking forward to the day when I am finally a bit ahead of the game instead of still working toward what is coming up. There is so much in store - and because I am working on all of THAT - keeping the social media game up to date....well, that is what suffers. So, today, I have a pretty for you - and then starting next week - the plan … [Read more...] about A Shiplap Feeling of Christmas!
Hoppin' into the Pumpkin Patch – Last day of the Blog Hop
We end this week's Blog Hop with one of my favorite things from the Autumn portion of the catalog - the Pick a Pumpkin Bundle!The first time I ran the pumpkin through the Big Shot - I knew I had to create a way to become the Fairy Godmother and wave some dazzling diamonds and turn that thing into Cinderella's carriage. You see in my house we have a Disney addict. She has been that way since before she could speak in full sentences. She is an adult. And will be going to … [Read more...] about Hoppin' into the Pumpkin Patch – Last day of the Blog Hop
An experiment in cuteness: Test Tubes Day 4 of our Blog Hop
Today we are taking test tubes out of the science lab and into the craft room! The real test here is finding the cleverest little things that you can fit inside them....I wanted to put something in mine besides tiny candies - I do have some splintered cinnamon sticks - so that was one option. I suffer from migraines and I carry a pouch of peppermint beads in my purse. When you feel a migraine coming on they can help if you smell them. I looked online, but they are pricey … [Read more...] about An experiment in cuteness: Test Tubes Day 4 of our Blog Hop

Welcome to Day 3 of the Product Blog Hop. Today we are sharing some more ideas to use with the Cat Punch. I just have one card for you today - and it is super simple! Here we go:There is no actual stamping on the card (sometimes I feel guilty when I do that!). But - it had enough going on without it. Let me preface this next sentence by saying I still have yet to use anything but the Carols of Christmas bundle that isn't Autumn themed from the catalog....tomorrow, … [Read more...] about Cat Punch revisited – Blog Hop Day 3
