This is a CASE of a card in our demonstrator magazine that uses “Grateful Bunch”. In my version, the card front is only half-width. The Basic Black panel covers most of the inside panel, and it opens as shown below. The Crumb Cake base measures 4 1/4″ x 8 1/4″, … Continue reading
These colors make me so happy – I love navy, and this combination of preppy colors is an 80’s throwback for me. I used a collar fold to show off this paper because I wanted to see a lot of it. It is from the collection Affectionately Yours, which will … Continue reading

It is my first-ever convention; while I have been to other Stampin’ Up! conferences, I have never been to the main event … Continue reading
The stamps in “Botanical Blooms” are great for background stamping. I had some fun here with a color combination I found on Pinterest. It uses Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz. The sentiment is from “Suite Sayings”, and it is stamped on a piece of the Botanical Gardens … Continue reading
I love this cloud pattern from the Shine On specialty designer paper – it works so well with my sunburst today. I used the sketch at Global Design Project as my inspiration, but I had to turn it on its side so everything would fit. I used mats of Lost Lagoon … Continue reading
