Video: Botanical Expressions Wedding Card

Aug 22, 2026 | 0 comments

I really like having a die like this one in my collection…it’s sold on it’s own so it’s less expensive, and it is super versatile to use for many occasions.  The Botanical Expressions die is part of a sentiment bundle if you need those but just on it’s own, it’s useful!

Here is my video and I also show a few new products coming out September 1st!

The sentiments I used for this card will be available on Sept 1st, when the new catalog and online exclusives begin.

Jun 13, 2026 | 0 comments

psst….free shipping ends tonight (Saturday) at  2 am eastern!  (midnight MT)
on orders $75 or more


Serene Scenes is a really nice kit!  Even if you make the cards exactly as they designed it, they are pretty!
Sometimes we want more layers, maybe a fun fold, a little extra pizzazz!
Think of our kits as your base layer of an outfit….then add a scarf, jewelry, shoes and suddenly you have created a whole new look!

Video: Filled with Sweetness Bundle

Mar 26, 2026 | 0 comments

This week I played with the new suite, HomemadeSweetness.
When I first opened the dies, I was surprised how BIG the jar is!  It is about 4″ x 4-1/2″ with the top on!
So it can be a card all on it’s own.
(be sure to watch my video to see two cards I received from friends who used it this way! )

So many of you like a bigger card, so I used it for a 5×7 size.  It is still just one first class stamp to mail!

One of my talented team members, Debbi Muche, showed me a waterfall card used to hold gift cards!  Super fun idea and so I created two today!   Here is my video to see it in ‘action’ :

I also made a birthday version using the new Hobby Haven paper!
I have a friend who loves coffee, plants and books so this designer paper was a perfect fit.

Sep 14, 2025 | 0 comments


There is a set of stand-alone dies in the holiday catalog called Patterned Tag Dies.
They are a nice size, 1-3/4″ x 3-1/4″. Not too big, not too small.
#165910    $31 for the 6 dies. 

Watch my video below too see them a little closer!

I had a relaxing time creating these tags!
They are easier than cards since they are smaller but I still felt crafty…

a tag can slide into a little pocket on a full size card, too.

Here are a few extra ideas from the SU home office:

BEAUTIFUL GALLERY 6X6 DESIGNER PAPER  #165196  $12.50  (COMING MAY 6TH!)

This designer paper is GORGEOUS….
Sometimes it’s so pretty I think it could be art on the wall!
I saw a fun idea to turn thrift store art into a Faux oil painting by adding modge podge and so i tried it on this designer paper:


I wish you could feel the texture!

For the card, I used the retired folder, Painted Texture 3D, to add more texture to the designer paper.  I don’t think it is necessary – the modge podge adds enough!   There is a current embossing folder that would work well called Plaster Painting 3D .  It’s super sized at 6″ x 8-12″:

Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder $12   6′ x 8-1/2″


I love how the gold embossing powder looks aged –  Watch my video above to see how to emboss with modge podge!

Hi all!  Changes are coming to our rewards program on April 15th!  Good changes overall:)
Currently, only orders at $150 or more earn rewards (freebies)
The new program rewards all orders starting at $20!    Any order $20 or more earns 10% rewards that are tied to your email – you can save them up and spend them on whatever you like. (The rewards are good for a year and the program knows to use the oldest rewards first)

What to do before April 15th?   Be sure you have a stampin’ up account with a login and password.  I can help walk you thru it if you don’t have one.  Yes, you can still call me and email me to order if you don’t want to order online – just like we do now:)    Look for an email from me this coming week with details.

On to this week’s project!!    What used to be called the ‘clearance rack’ is now called Last Chance Products.  The best way to see it all is to view the online store because it will have retiring catalog items as well as the out-of-catalog online items that retire, too.   You can find the Last Chance area HERE.
This week I used 4 bundles that have moved to the Last Chance category.  The Bright Skies bundle is a good one and I love the patterned clouds!
