Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Today I’m sharing a “watercolor technique” card that was shared with us from the Stampin’ Up! home office. It highlights the new Archival Ink.
Archival Ink is permanent and perfect for watercoloring techniques. Use the archival ink pads to stamp your images from the “You’ve Got This” stamp set, and then use Blender Pens or Aqua Painters® to add color.
Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Tangelo Twist Classic Stampin’ Ink® Refills were used in combination with the Aqua Painters to color in the flowers.
Personally … I love the watercoloring technique and I’m so happy that we will be carrying the Archival Ink! You will find it in the Holiday Catalog which goes live September 1st!!
Short post today, but I thank you for stopping by!
Have an awesome day ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Today I’d like to share with you a really cool project that was done by Krista Frattin from the 2014–2015 Artisan Design Team. She was published on our Stampin’ Up! “Get Inspired” blog.
The birdcage itself was created using Whisper White Cardstock (item # 100730) and a Candy Dot Brad Base (item # 132293)! In the spirit of upcycling, the base of the cage was created using scrap packaging paper from the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper packages. You will need a 1/16″ Circle Handheld Punch (item # 134363) and the Circles Collection Framelits Dies (item # 130911).
In step 12 you will see that I upcycled an empty Stampin’ Up! button container for filler inside the birdcage base. This was perfect! The only downside was that it was a bit fussy to add my flowers through the birdcage bars. Fussy . . . but not impossible. Just take it one flower and one leaf at a time. Be gentle so you do not bend or crease the bars.
I think Krista’s project is amazing!! CLICK HERE to read her full blog post … there is more!
Thank you for stopping by ~
Have a great day!
Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
First … I’d like to wish my nephew Artie a Happy Birthday!!
Today I have a simply beautiful card to share with you from our Holiday Catalog … you should have yours by now. Don’t you just love it!!
I have been patiently waiting to bust open my box of goodies … needed to organize my stampin’ area before I added more, but I could wait no longer!!
Now that’s a box of FUN!! I had a hard time picking out something out to make our card today! So I decided to create another card using the “Home for Christmas” Designer paper that you saw yesterday. I just love this paper and it’s so easy to keep it simple when the paper is so pretty.
I added the greeting from the “Reason for the Season” stamp set. I just adore it when they use the nostalgic fonts, it just screams Christmas. I used the Venetian Crochet Trim to maintain the nostalgic feel.
For a pop of color I added the pretty little poinsettia button from the “Home for Christmas” Designer Buttons and tied a little bow using the Old Olive Bakers Twine.
I would love to hear what your favorite items are in the new Holiday Catalog. Don’t have one?? If you are in need of a demonstrator I would be happy to send you a catalog.
Thanks for visiting with me today.
Have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy it’s simple pleasures.
Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
A quick post today and a sneak peek from the upcoming Holiday Catalog!
At our Stampin’ Up! Convention we (the demonstrators) had the chance to see many Christmas card ideas using products from the Holiday Catalog! We also had the opportunity to create this card using Cozy Christmas stamp set and Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper.
I love the retro feel … What do you think?
The delightful Santa was snipped from one of the patterns in the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper. Tucked behind Santa is a piece of Very Vanilla 1-1/4″ Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon … oh so pretty! This would look great on gifts as well.
I love when everything coordinates. Stampin’ Up! Home for Christmas Designer Buttons are the perfect compliment to the stamp set and paper.
All of these wonderful “sneak peek” holiday products shared today will be available when the Stampin’ Up! Catalog begins Sept. 1
Thank you for poppin’ in today …
Hope your day is a great one!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,
Summer is coming to an end and fall is right around the corner … I know this because the beautiful Maple down the street is beginning to turn colors! Really …Wow!
On that note, I thought I would pay homage to a beautiful new stamp set found in our main Idea Book & Catalog… the new Vintage Leaves stamp set.
I found this awesome sample on one of the boards at Convention this year and just had to share with you. I wish I knew who created this beautiful card but names are not listed (at least visible to us).
No fussy cutting with this card … Stampin’ Up! has created coordinating framelits “Leaflets” make recreating this card simple.
I love, love, love, the addition of the glimmer paper … how pretty! To tie it all up … the “Linen Thread”.
And finally the greeting comes from our fun “Expressions Natural Elements” … fit’s perfectly with this card, don’t you think!?
I hope you enjoyed this beautiful card as much as I did when I saw it on the Convention board.
Thanks much for stopping by.
Have a wonderful day ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Yesterday I got a visit from one of my stampin’ friends … Patti S. She stopped by to pay for an order she placed and as always, she has her payment tucked inside a cute card! Since I’m still working on organizing … I thought it would be nice to share with you.
I love this card … it gives you the feeling of a warm invitation to have a cup of coffee with a friend. Isn’t that why we make cards? To evoke good feelings towards the receiver … of course.
Although the stamp set is retired, I decided to still share because don’t we all keep a stash of our favorites even after they retire! If I didn’t … I wouldn’t need to purge my house! lol
It brightened my day … I hope it brightened yours as well.
Thanks for stopping by ~
