How did this all start? Well I needed something for my live today, a friend had been doing these Pinwheel cards and posting them on Facebook. So, I ask her if I could make these on my Live today and she said of course.
I was so happy because these are so stinking cute and they really are easy to make. I think you will love them once you see just how easy they are to make. You will have pinwheels everywhere.

We knew it was coming. In some ways we dreaded it and in other ways we were excited about it....you may ask yourself, "what ever is she talking about?"

Please take a moment to watch the video below. There you will see directly from Stampin' Up what colors are going and what colors are staying.
Here you will also get a glimpse at the new 2023-2025 In-Colors. Make sure to check out the retired list for inks, refills etc. you may want because these colors are going fast. **note...after the video you will be able to find a pdf with all the information of items that are retiring.
Who doesn't love beautiful summer flowers running up a trellis/lattice. It is a beautiful site to behold and everyone loves flowers in full bloom.
Today's card gives that special beauty of a lattice with beautiful flowers. I used basic white thick cardstock with the pop of color from the flowers and greenery really does give a pretty scene.

I have been on this kick with the making of Quilt Cards and they have been so much fun. This one kind of tricks the eye to belive that one square is hiding behind the other. You will find this card so easy to make because I have included a diagram in the pdf tutorial. You can find the link for that below. So happy quilting...ooops I meant card making!!

Nothing is as lovely as a beautiful handmade quilt. The detail, every stitch painstakingly made with love. Well, you might be saying, I don't sew and I certainly don't know how to make a quilt. If this is you, then perhaps the beauty of quilting with paper would appeal to you.
In this card, we are taking the idea of the classic wedding ring pattern to a card front. Once you master this technique, you can change it up with different colors of cardstock and DSP to make it whatever you want it to be. This is the beauty of papercrafting!!

Who doesn't love a fluffy cottontail bunny during the easter holiday. This stamp set offers just that with three adorable bunnies for your choice and a group of wonderful sentiments to make your Easter card special for that little one in your life.

I'm so glad you were able to join us for the live event today. If you were not able to make it, not to worry. You can always watch the replay at anytime.
I showed how you can make a card using whatever you have on hand. It is easy to find paper that will coordinate with your cardstock. This is especially so if you are familiar with Stampin' Up and their wonderful color coordination. Everything always matches and you never have to guess if the ink will match the paper or if the DSP (aka pattern paper) will match the cardstock. With Stampin' Up you can always be sure. You will find on every pack of DSP (designer series paper) a list of coordinating cardstocks that go with that pack of paper. How clever is that?
I hope you enjoyed today's installment of our LIVE presentation.

Easter is just around the corner. What a beautiful celebration of renewed life, a promise to us that we can live again through the rebirth that comes from accepting Christ as your personal Savior and allowing His shed blood to cover our sins.
In this card, I tried to depite the glory of Jesus and yet the rustic time He lived in.
I hope you gained joy from this card knowing what a sacrifice it was for Him (Jesus) to step down from Glory into a world that would reject Him in such a horific way.
But God's will be done!!

Are you ever confused about what ink to use for a certain project or technique? I think most of us can answer yes to that question.
I am going to attempt to clear up a bit of the confusion today with another installment in my ongoing series titled "I didn't' know I needed to know that."
I will discuss the 4 basic types of ink and I have a pdf for you that will explain each ink and what they can do and when to use them.
I hope this will be helpful to everyone.

Every now and then you stumble across a stamp that is so different, so elegant, so stunning and yet you can't seem to find a way to bring it to it's true potential. That happened to me with the Pretty Medallion Stamp. But I wasn't going to give up. I did my research (I do a lot of that) and I came up with the perfect way to feature this stamp as a focal point on a card. HEAT EMBOSS IT!!
Along with some ink blending using two shades of blue and going from light to dark, giving the ombre effect, I think I nailed it.
Would this be a card you would want to give to someone and the possiblities are endless!!

Happiness means something different to each of us. But if you are a paper crafter then we know what makes us happy....more and more craft supplies. Do you get it? If you're a crafter than I know you do!!
With the Cheerful Basket Bundle you can find several things that make you happy. Whether it's a basket full of hearts, apples or craft supplies. As for me it is the CRAFT SUPPLIES!!
Using a technique called Ink Blending, I created a background with hues of lavender, yellow, pink and orange. This creates a very pretty backdrop for our lovely basket of craft goodies.
