Hello and thank you for stopping by my blog today! I have a clever little triangular box I saw Lauren Urbonis making and had to give it a try. She had made hers for Christmas in July and I thought it would be nice to use the Oh My Fright bundle and make one for Halloween. I changed one of the measurements slightly but overall, the box design is as she demonstrated it. While it looks complicated, it's rather easy to make. I chose to decorate all three box sides on my project, but you could definitely just decorate the center panel for the front of your box.

A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

Sweetly Sentimental card without using hot foil dies
For my project today I wanted to use a stamp set in the hot foil system and show how you don't need the hot foil dies to make a beautiful card. I think this stamp set lends itself to any occasion and makes quick and easy cards. To see some tips and tricks on how to use the two-step stamps efficiently on our Stampin' Positioner tool, be sure to watch my video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

A little something to say hello (Simply Leaves meets Extraordinary Life)
I hope everyone has had a decent week. It's been a little crazy here. Some ups and downs but we're getting by and smiling each day. I sat down the other night to make a card using the new Simply Leaves. This idea came to me to mash it up with Extraordinary Life. Not sure why, but I am so glad I did. I do love how it turned out, don't you? You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel on how I put this one together by clicking this direct link.

Pretty Poinsettia Bright Christmas Wishes
Today will be a Christmas card using the just released Pretty Poinsettia bundle by Stampin' Up! I love poinsettias and so when I saw this bundle I had to get it. After I tried using the impressions plate with it I loved it even more! I love how detailed the embossing on the petals and leaves are. It's so stunning! To see how I've put my card together be sure to watch my YouTube video tutorial by clicking this direct link. In the video I show an alternate card using the Product of the Month Begonia Belle with mostly the same products (other than Pretty Poinsettia). Be sure to check that out over on my Facebook page.

Begonia Belle birthday and hot foil introduction
Hello all! I have a project for you today featuring the brand new Stampin' Hot Foil system! I hope you love it as much as I do! I am having so much fun with hot foiling. I've wished Stampin' Up! would come out with one of these for quite some time. Surprise! It's here and I couldn't be happier. I also like the new July Product of the Month (POTM) and it's such a great bargain at only $5 USD. You will find a video tutorial introducing the hot foil machine and giving some tips and tricks as we make a card together using Begonia Belle. You can access it by clicking this direct link.

A seaside birthday card with hot foil!
Hello all! I'm introducing the brand new Stampin' Hot Foil system by Stampin' Up! today! This system will be available to customers beginning Friday, July 10th (yes, in just two more days!) I love this system and have been wanting to try hot foiling for quite some time. I'm so glad I waited since Stampin' Up! has introduced any easy-to-use machine that doesn't take up a bunch of space and works with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine I already own. It's a win-win for me and for you! In my video tutorial this week you will find an introduction to the machine, a small demonstration on how it works and a card tutorial for a seaside birthday card.

Oh My Fright tag treat box
Hello everyone! The new July Online Exclusives release has gone live today! Wahoo!!! You will find the bundle I've used in my project today among that release. Stampin' Up! has told us this release will be the bulk of the Halloween products released this year. They won't be in the September to December catalog. This allows us all to get a jump on our projects and it also allows them time to reorder product if needed and have it back in stock before Halloween. To watch the tutorial on how to make this box, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.
