This is an easy fold for a front pocket gift card and the apple just seemed perfect for a Teacher thank you!
As Sale-A-Bration is nearing the end this month, Stampin’ Up has some new Dies coming September 1st!
(These will be for a limited time, while supplies last)
The 6 new die sets coordinate with current stamps sets.
See the Perfect Partners sales Flyer HERE!
I pre-ordered the Apple Blossom dies to go with the stamp set, Apple Harvest, which is perfect for living here in NC.
Our apple festival is coming up in 2 weeks!
Here is my video showing the dies and 3 alternate ideas using them:

A few more ideas I stamped to show in my video:
I’ll be heading to New Orleans for a Stampin’ Up Leadership conference next week!
Should be a lot of fun but I’ll be scheduling the piggy video to post on Saturday while I’m gone:)

I can think of so many uses for this fun card!
It’s a pop up, but folds flat and fits a gift card or thin chocolate or cash….I found myself walking around the stamp room to see what fits in there:) I was inspired my friend and team member, Debbi Muche, who made this pretty card:
She used the Hues of Happiness designer paper from Stampin’ Up and it has the sweetest lil’ gift bag inside!
It’s hard to improve on her design, it’s perfect!
I made one of my own with the Lovely Linen Designer paper and a great stamp set called Amazing Year.
I love the bold lines and sentiments in this set! It is easy to color, too!
Here is my video!

Hi all!
This week I was inspired by the Pretty Pumpkins bundle from the Stampin’ Up Holiday catalog (July-December 2021 catalog)
If you don’t have a fall pumpkin set yet, this is a nice one. If you have one similar from previous catalogs, get it out and try embossing in white! It’s so pretty and you can use lots of colors as the base.
In this week’s video, I compare a few ways to get a nice, crisp white embossed image and also how to fix spot if you miss a part of a stamped image!

The detailed tall pumpkin is so pretty in copper, gold or cajun Craze, like this sample from the home office:
We are just days away from the Sale a Bration freebie time!

You can see them all HERE!

This is really a fun, all occasion bundle!

Here is my video:

Sparkle of the Season Bundle #156765 $45.75
in the holiday July-Dec Mini Catalog
The first project I made was Halloween, and altho I don’t send many out each year I do have a few friends that LOVE it!
(I do love dressing up for costume parties at Halloween)
I really liked the black glitter paper wreath:
The owl was fussy cut from the Blackberry Beauty designer paper:
I wish you could see how gorgeous this paper is!
For my 2nd Project, I went with fall/Thanksgiving theme with a little Cinnamon Cider color added in:
Basic Borders Dies #15558 $29
These are in the Annual Stampin’ Up Catalog and I think will be handy to have.
For the 3rd project I made a 5×5 card, altho it could be easily converted to a standard sized card.
(thank you Steph for my little red bird!)
It’s hard to see the pretty detail with white on white, but here is a close-up:

If it says Whimsy or Whimsical in the title, I’m probably gonna buy it.
I don’t know why I’ve always had a thing for quirky, non traditional decor and stamps.
This cute bundle isn’t too far out of the box but I do like the little skinny trees and all fun font.
I seem to get a request each year from someone who wants FLAT but CUTE holiday cards to send!
I think this one works well to mail and is pretty easy to do. You could sub stamping on white for the greeting instead of embossing but you know what I say, if you emboss it means you love them a little bit more:)
Here is my video showing the whole suite and the project:

Hi All!
Before my post, just a reminder to sign up for my paper, ribbon and accessories shares for the new catalog that begins Aug 3rd!
If you missed that post, here is the link to read all about it! (it will open in a new tab)
It was SO hot here in the mountains this week so I cooled off with some winter cards. With the upcoming release of the new Holiday catalog August 3rd, I’ve been starting to feel a little bit nostalgic for snowy pine cones and egg nog. I’m always ready for eggnog, even in August:) This week I used a new bundle called Christmas to Remember. It’s on page 19 of the upcoming Holiday mini catalog.
Here is the video below and below the video is the link to my Recipe PDF if you’d like to print it

This one might be my favorite! Coloring just the white cardstock with my Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.
I layered onto Pool Party Cardstock and that went on a thick white card. You can use a sponge dauber and ink pad, watch my tip for how to spread the ink evenly. I love a striped ribbon and there’s a new one in pool party in the new mini catalog.
A little rustic with the Espresso/soft suede pine cones and dark spruce pine needles but adding some of the brushed gold in the label makes it feel a little more festive.
One of my favorite color combos for the winter is Bermuda Bay, White & Silver.
It just feels crisp and cool.
I will update the shopping links on Aug 3rd when this new bundle goes live for ordering!
For now, here are some of the Stampin’ Up products used for my 3 cards:

If you are new to product shares, here is how they work:
A product share basically means you will get a sample of the new designer papers, ribbons and accessories by sharing it with others. For example, I’ll cut the paper into 6×6 pieces to share it with 8 people, so you get one 6×6 sheet of each paper rather than having to buy a whole pack. . The ribbons I divide between 5 people and accessories are divided also.
I’ll order first thing on August 3rd when the catalog begins. It takes approx 2-3 weeks after I order to receive your shares in the mail.
I’ve done shares for over 12 years and always fill orders very fast!
It’s really a fun way to try out new products and enjoy creating!
