Painted Season Bundle

 Christmas Season Bundle




OMGee! I am enthralled with the beautiful products in the Painted Christmas Suite! The stamp set is nostalgic and beautiful, featuring pine cones, holly leaves, and more. The Designer Series Paper features traditional Christmas colors

The other lovely feature of this bundle is the dies.  There are large dies and label dies. Also dies for the pine cones and greenery. The dies are versatile enough to use with various stamp sets.

I also used the Merry Melody embossing folder with Very Vanilla cardstock, and used our blending brushes with Crumb Cake ink to distress the background. I can almost hear the harps.

Peaceful Cabin Cards

Peaceful Cabin


When the August through December Mini catalog by Stampin' Up was released, the Peaceful Cabin Suite was the first that I fell in love with.  It grabbed my heart. I squealed with delight when I saw it. I 
knew I had to have it.  And while I have been playing with it, alas, I'm no where near done. There's plenty more coming. The Specialty Designer Series paper, dies and stamps are simply exquisite!  

This suite reminds me of being in a cozy cabin tucked in the woods with the snow gently falling, moonlight dancing upon the glistening snow - revealing animal prints trailing off towards the woods. Light plumes of smoke billowing from the chimney, escaping the fire in the fireplace below. Warm furry pajamas, a good book and a cup of hot cocoa,  Can we go now? Of course we can. Let me take you there.

See the dimensions for each card below the picture.

Sweet Treats Cards

How cute are these simple to recreate cards?



I made these quick cards focusing on the Sweet Treats Designer Series Paper.  Aren't the animals so fun and adorable?

Ideas Blog Hop - Punch It Up


Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to the IDEAS (International Demos Exciting Artistic Stampin') blog hop!  Our team is a group of international demonstrators who contribute collectively to a creative tutorial to bring creative inspiration to our customers monthly. I'm so excited to be a new member of this team!

Our theme for this month is called: Punch It Up!  We are focusing on Stampin' Ups! awesome punches! 

This month, I decided to work with the In Symmetry Bundle by Stampin' Up!, which includes the Symmetrical Stems border punch.  I focused on the punched out stems but it can also be used as a border punch by using the negative space after punching.  

I have created a sweet, simple and easy to recreate card that can be used for most any occasion.  The tutorial is equally as simple to follow along with.

Our collage is a sneak peak from each designer in this edition of the tutorial bundle.  See it here:




Here's an alternate of my design using some of the same products:
