Hello! I'm very lucky to have some very talented people on my team, and I wanted to share the swap cards from our meeting! First, this card is from my downline Betsy Johnston.  She is the queen of Fancy Fold Cards! The flowers in the background--not patterned paper.  She actually made her own, using the Affectionately Yours Stampset and the new In Colours.  And those Hedgehogs?  They're on a new hostess set! This card is from another one of my downline, Amanda Farlinger of From Where I Stamp. Amanda used the Swirly Bird bundle.  So, funny story about this bundle,...

Hello! The new Stampin' Up! Catalog is so bright and fun!  One of the stampsets I was able to preorder was the Pops of Paradise set.  I love the tropical feel of this set, and the new 2016-2018 In Colours. I am not one to do fancy folds, mostly because I tend to forget about them (haha!) but I did something a bit differently then normal for this one.  To get this look, take the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" card base and score it at 2 1/8" and at 6 3/8".  It will still fit in a standard card...

Hello! One of my favourite things about having a Stampin' Up! Team is our Stamp and Create Team Meetings!  One of the things we do at these meetings is swap cards (exchange cards for ideas).  This one is by my downline Amanda Farlinger, From Where I Stamp.  This card is actually from the May meeting but I somehow missed sharing it! Isn't it cute?  After the first time she used this stampset, Barnyard Babies, I had to go buy it! Supplies: Cherry Cobbler Cardstock Whisper White Cardstock Watercolour Paper Basic Black Archival Ink Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine Barnyard Babies Stampset...

Hello! It is definitely the graduation time of year!  This is a card I did for a craft fair I'm in on Saturday.  It was inspired by a few different cards combined (and I apologize that I don't know who they were by!).  Simple, but effective--I mean who doesn't love a shaker card? And shaker cards are so much easier with the new foam adhesive strips from Stampin' Up! Oh, and the stamped "sprinkle"? A Christmas set!  But it totally works! Supplies: Large number framelits Basic Black Cardstock Whisper White Cardstock Metallics sequins Window sheets Foam Adhesive strips Basic Black...

Hello, I am back again with one last project for this week! I love how versatile this card is!  Just change the colours and it works for another person!  It is based on a card that was in Stampin' Success Magazine, a magazine just for demonstrators, a few months back. Supplies: Thick White Cardstock Number of Years Stampset & Dies Glitter Tape (a discontinued Sale-a-bration item) Kinda Eclectic Stampset Lost Lagoon/Watermelon Wonder Ink Soft Sky/Blushing Bride Ink Memento Ink Curvy Corner Trio Punch Very simple and yet so cute!  If you're wondering how to get the ombre effect on the...
