My first round of Ribbon Shares arrived and are packaged (and mailed, where applicable). I have added pictures of each to the Product Shares page. Please contact me if you would like to be included in the next round. Per Stampin’ Up! policy, I must take orders for the shares … Continue reading
Yay, finally! My June 1 order from the new Annual Catalog came yesterday. After forcing myself to do yard work through the day (couldn’t ignore the 7 yards of mulch on the driveway), I made a few cards last night. I was anxious to try the new Big Shot Platform … Continue reading
When I saw this week’s sketch, my mind went right to the new set “Marquee Messages”. It’s a great set for all ages, either sex, and many occasions. I have used it for several cards with colorblocked pieces, but I wanted to try something different this week. I heat embossed … Continue reading
I intended to make a flower for this sketch challenge, but I was running late this week and made the mistake of looking in our gallery before I made my card. I usually don’t do that because I don’t want to be influenced by the other samples. Since most of … Continue reading
This is a sneak peek at new colors – I have used three of the upcoming 2016-2018 In Colors. They are Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, and Flirty Flamingo. These colors will be available in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog, starting June 1. There is also a 1/2″ strip of designer paper … Continue reading

This is one of the projects that we made in club this weekend. It is a double z-fold card with balloons mounted on Window Sheets along the band. The base of the card is a typical “Z”. It measures 4 1/4″ x 11″; it’s scored at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″. There … Continue reading
We made this card last night in our team meeting. It is a CASE of a card I saw on the Stampin’ Up! idea boards at OnStage. Something about the bright Watermelon Wonder/Cucumber Crush combination appealed to me – and of course, who can resist a fun fringe? My pre-order … Continue reading
We have a sweet color challenge this week at Create with Connie and Mary. I started off with a nature set, but didn’t like the direction I was going. The end result?…a cake! Even the cake started out as one thing, and ended as another. I thought I would make … Continue reading
