Hello everyone. I have the cutest card for you this week using my featured product of the week, Cutest Crew by Stampin' Up! I've combined it with the Extradordinary Flora washi tape for this unique card. I do love how it turned out the washi tape makes the background so easy. To see how I've put my card together, you can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking here. I've used some ink blending techniques along with some background stamps to make the scenery behind the little kittens.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

Scalloped oval Happiest Birthday Wishes card
Hello and welcome back to my blog today. I have a sweet nature scene as a birthday card. You could use this particular scenery for almost any occasion simply by changing the sentiments whether it be birthday, anniversary or sympathy card.

Happiest birthday wishes dsp strip card
I've used a sketch I saw from Julie Salva for my card today. I didn't do mine exactly like the sketch because crafty girls do what they want and a sketch is only an inspirational starting point. I hope you like how this turned out. I was quite pleased with the result, and I think anyone would be happy to receive a birthday card like this. To watch the video tutorial on how to put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel to watch the replay. You will find it by clicking this direct link.

Wishing you good things with Notes of Spring card
For my featured product this week I will be working with the Notes of Spring stamp set. This is an exclusive stamp set for the Stampin' Up! Product of the Month (POM) for March 2026. It is available only while supplies last and is only available with a $75 purchase (USD) for $5. Such a great set for a small amount of money. I have found it to be quite versatile and easy to work with. Cards can be made very quickly and still look like you spent a bit of time on them. The two-step stamping allows you to color in the images using stamps, thereby taking less time. Of course, you always have the option to color them. I will have a card for you later this week where I did just that. To watch the video tutorial on how I put this card together and so you can recreate it, head on over to my YouTube channel. You will find the video by clicking this link.

A masculine graduation card 2026
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I'm continuing on with my featured product this week Seasonal Celebrations. I've added in some additional products to give this card a truly masculine feel. I hope you like it and that it will inspire you with your upcoming graduation card needs. Of course, it could be for any occasion simply by changing the focal image to something other than a graduation cap and changing the sentiment. I can see this card made with a race car as the focal image and a birthday sentiment as well. To see how I put it together be sure to watch the video tutorial on my YouTube channel. You can access it by clicking this link.

Quick and easy Easter card with Seasonal Celebrations
Today I have a quick and easy Easter bunny card. I've used a sketch I saw on Facebook (not sure who posted it) but I decided to use the sketch for this card. It would be very easy to mass product if you send out Easter cards (or change up the stamps & paper for any occasion). You can see how easy it is to put together by watching the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel. Click this link to watch.

Thinking of You garden bench card
Hello and welcome back for another Gliding Garden Swing project. Stampin' Up! issued a clean & simple card challenge for the month of March. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I have a problem with simple cards....somehow they never stay simple. It was explained that with this challenge, we should think about having white space, texture and cluster for the focal image. This is the card I came up. I think it meets the criteria, do you? To see how I put this card together, head on over to my YouTube channel for the video tutorial. You can find it by clicking this link.

Wishing You Good Things swing card
I'm featuring the Gliding Swing bundle from the January Online Exclusives. I love this set and now that we have Woodgrain Wonders DSP, I love it even more! Today's card uses both the dies and the stamps. You can make a swing strictly from the dies, but I prefer the stamped swing image. It has more depth and details than the die cut version in my opinion. I do show you the differences between the two in the video tutorial so be sure to check that out. To learn how to make this card, watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube page by clicking this link.

Poppin' by spring card
I have a fun card for you today using current products and mashing with some last chance products. I hope you enjoy it. I had a lot of fun putting it together and I'm sure the recipient will love it as well. I wanted to use the dies in the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar to make something with the bunny from Easter Basket. Initially, I had another design in my head, however, by the time it made it to paper, this card was the result. Far less busy than my original idea and oh so cute! To watch the video replay on how I put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Quilted cross Easter card
Hello all! Great news! Stampin' Up! announced free shipping for the next three days with a $75** qualifying order! Free shipping will run February 18-20, 2026, and ends at 11:59 pm MT or 10:59 p.m. PT. Head on over to my online store for all the details.
Today I have a card that was inspired by May May Made it. I saw how she made these little quilted circles and placed them into a cross using a patterned paper. It inspired me to try out her method. I had to change the circle sizes and Stampin' Up! does not currently have the size circle punch she used. I altered the measurements to fit the 1 3/4" punch, grabbed some wood paper, and put this card together using Stampin' Up! products. I hope you give this a try. I do love how it looks. To watch the video tutorial where I show you how to create it, head on over to my YouTube channel by clicking this link.
