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.

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.

Birthday shell fan technique card
For my card today, I've used the Shell Collecting stamp set along with some techniques to make this beach scene. I think it's very unique and I love how it turned out. It took three tries to get the vision in my head down on paper, but I am pleased with the result and I hope you are too. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel to see how I achieved this look. You will find it here by clicking this link. It's really pretty simple with some masking, ink blending and a little creativity. I hope you give it a try.

It’s Your Special day Cutest Cows fun fold
Happy Saturday and welcome back to the blog. I'm so happy you are here. I hope you will watch the video replay of how I put this card together over on my YouTube channel. This week's focus is all about using those stamps you already have in your collection and maybe using them with something new. You bought them, let's use them and make them new again by adding other items in your collection to make some really cute cards. Today, we are using some stamps that were actually meant to be throw away pieces to make our "cow spots", along with an older Cutest Cows, newer Perfect Pairs (already on the last chance list) and some newly released dies. I hope you like this card and how I mashed all these things together for a unique look.

The Best Season is Fall with Scenic Pumpkin Patch
I’ve made this Scenic Pumpkin Patch card with the featured stamp set this week. I love how easy it can be to make a card with stamps, ink & paper. As the stamp set doesn’t inside any images, I brought those in from the More Than Autumn set. I hope you like it! I’ve used a couple of techniques on this card, to see those, watch the video on my YouTube channel.

Frosted Forest Masculine Thinking of You/Birthday card
Hello everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. For the kids here in Sheridan, this is the last week of summer vacation. I plan to soak up the most of it with our grandkids and spend some time at the beach this week. The weather is supposed to be nice, but often when it's nice here at home, it's not so nice at the beach. Hopefully, we'll have good enough weather to play in the sand.
Now onto my card for today. I made the original card you see here for my husband for our 44th wedding anniversary last Friday. When I made the card during my YouTube live, I switched out the inside sentiment for a birthday card. Either way, the design works well without changing the sentiment on the front. I do love how it turned out. You can watch the YouTube replay to see how I put the card together.

Sneak Peek at In The Grove scenery card
I hope everyone has had a good week! This week we will be looking at the upcoming In The Grove by Stampin' Up! It will debut in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog releasing on May 1. I wanted to show how it coordinates so perfectly with other stamp sets we currently have available, so I grabbed my Grassy Grove bundle and went to work.
