The Wetlands stamp set is retiring.  This has been a favorite for many and a great go-to for masculine cards.  Have you added this set to your collection?  There is still time! We pulled out this stamp set for the All Occasion card class this past week. Continue reading

That's the Tag is retiring at the end of the month and I wanted to make sure we get to use it at least one more time before it is gone.  Therefore, it was a perfect choice to pull out for the All Occasion Card class Thursday evening! I also wanted to use some of the retiring colors in class.  The ribbon is already retired, but it went along with the retiring Watercolor Wonder cardstock we were using so I went ahead and pulled it out.

Today's card is soft and lacy looking.  This is a great card for someone who needs a little reminder that you're there for them, no matter the situation. Continue reading

I've been wanting to make an ice cream sundae card with the Cool Treats stamp set and the Step It Up class seemed the perfect time to make it!  They are not hard to make, it just takes a little time to get all the bits and pieces ready and together. Here is what we made. Continue reading

We had the Mediterranean Moments Stamp of the Month classes here yesterday.  What a great stamp set! These days I find myself working off other people's ideas a lot to help save on time.  This particular card was all my own creation though.  I wanted to use the stamp with the scooter and have it showing through a window.  I'm kind of funny about trying to make the inside of the window really look like the inside of a house.  So, I thought it would be fun to create ribbon curtains. See what you think. Continue reading

I look forward to seeing a number of you in classes today!  Some will be doing the Stamp of the Month class while others will be making Lighthouse Decor, and still others will be making the Step It Up cards!  We're going to be having creative fun today! I thought I would share one of the Step It Up cards with you today.  We are using the Weather Together stamp set for this one.  This is such a fun set! Continue reading

I just submitted an order for a few new goodies from the new catalog which will be available for every on June 1!  I can't wait to share these goodies with you at the New Catalog Party on June 1!  I hope you're making your plans to join us!  I'll post the party details at the end of this post.   I saw a card similar to the one I'm about to show you and knew right away that we needed to make our own version in the Step It Up class.  I like how mine turned out!  Of course it looks better in person than in the picture, but that's normal around here. We always think about the Continue reading

I have a fairly simple card to share with you today, using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set. It appears the Designer Series Paper I used on this card is already sold out.  Speaking of which, don't forget about the retiring Stampin' Up! product, if you haven't checked out the sale prices available on some of the retiring items, you definitely want to do so!  Also, check the Clearance Rack, new items were added there recently as well. Now, back to that dragonfly!  See what you think. Continue reading

Sometimes we need to send cards of encouragement to others.  A pretty flowery card might work well for ladies, but what do you send to the men?  Here's a lovely card that will work for either! Continue reading

The Custom Tee stamp set is not one I ever would have chosen to purchase, but when I received it and the coordinating dies as a prize from my upline, I went looking for a fun way to use them. We used them in our last All Occasion Card class! Continue reading
