Hi all!
This week went haywire for me and I didn’t get my video done. It was a perfect storm of migraines, feral kittens rescue efforts and an extra houseguest.
Life happens!

I did create one card using Layering Leaves. Such a pretty stamp set!


AND it coordinates with the Bough punch if you already have that!
I used a Lost Lagoon card base. Then I added 1″ strips from the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer paper. The top and bottom strips are straight, the rest are offset just a bit. The leaves are stamped on calypso coral and lost lagoon cardstock with same inks and punched.
I used the idea below as my inspiration. It’s from the 2018 Stampin’ Up mini catalog. I keep those old catalogs to get a layout idea when I’m stuck!

Oh and Remember it is still $5 coupon month in July!
So spending $50 and SU will email you a $5 coupon to use in August.
Doesn’t sound like much but every bit helps!
Thx for stopping by!

I hear many of you like to start making holiday cards early….
it feels too early for me BUT since they are coming out on July 6th, and I was able to preorder them early,
I had some time to play around with these new products.
These are just a few that will be released on July 6th!
I’ll be back on Thursday to post the prices, item numbers and all the new goodies.
Because these are out of catalog products, they will be While Supplies Last.

The Designer Paper is called One Horse Open Sleigh!
It’s 6×6 in size, 48 sheets with winter watercolor scenes.
I made 6 cards, some easy and a few stepped up.
Take a look at the video to see them all!

Sketched Plaid Cling (rubber) stamp set $20 #161424
Mad about plaid? Not just for flannel shirts or country tablecloths. It’s great for card making, too!
I do like this hand-drawn, big plaid background stamp.
It’s easy to just stamp it and keep it simple. OR you can add some extra colors to create a whole different look!
Watch my video below to see these 4 backgrounds using the Sketched Plaid background stamp!
The 4 recipes with measurements are in a link below the video

My apologies on missing posting my weekly video this past weekend!
My normal Saturday filming routine got really offtrack when Matt got stung and we had to go to the ER.
He’s never had a reaction like this before it was amazing how fast he got massive hives and tongue started to swell up!
The ER was great, lots of IV Benadryl, steroids and all that stuff and he was feeling back to normal the next day!
He is now the proud new owner of an epi pen for life 🙂

This Designer paper is pretty cool!
It looks so textural, like real torn paper but it’s smooth. I can just imagine how much fun it was for the artist to tear all those strips of paper to create the designs before they photographed it.
I had a request from Rachel in Canada to use this particular paper so I had some fun with it !
The hardest thing is cutting it up because it’s so pretty:)
AND it’s on sale this month!
Here is my video and the recipes for the 3 main cards are below the video:

GORGEOUS GARDEN DIES #161283 $42 Set of 2
I bought these new dies and finally getting some time to play with them!
I made 3 different cards and I love the versatility of these dies.
On the inside of the Just a Note card you can barely see the design I stamped using the die and ink pad but I like the subtleness of the pattern. And you might not guess what designer paper I used for the colorful pattern!
.How did I miss that the Limited Edition stamp set retired? aargh! Love that stamp set with the Paper Hug sentiment…
You can substitute anything that fits in your banner.
Here is my video using the dies with a few tips…

Hi everyone!
This week’s I embraced the new Mauve In Color!
As a new In Color, it will here for two years and I’m seeing it everywhere in stores, clothing and even sneakers:)
Ah yes, the 80’s are back.
Which got me thinking about how to update and modernize Mauve.
Here is my video and I’d love to know what you think!
