Oh my gosh! How I do love the new 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper stack, Lights of Aurora. It was introduced on September 3 along with a suite of products. I decided to purchase only the gems and DSP from the suite and combine it with the Scenic Adventure bundle as I thought I would get more use from both pieces of the bundle. I love how this card turned out and just how easy it was. A few die cuts, the dsp, a stamped sentiment and what a beautiful card you have. It would work for either feminine or masculine and most any occasion. To see how I've put my card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

We are continuing on with some sneak peeks from the upcoming Stampin' Up! product release launching on September 3.

You can find the card tutorial video on my YouTube channel.

Humble Home Merry Christmas card
For my card today, I’ve combined a couple of bundles to make this Christmas card. I could have used a sentiment from Humble Home, but it just didn’t fit my vision, so I pulled in the Peaceful Seasons bundle. It is a must have sentiment and coordinating die bundle for the holidays in my opinion. to see how I've put this card together, watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Ice skating birthday card with Dear Santa
For my final project this week, I've used Dear Santa and Forever Forest (along with some other things) to make a cute little birthday card for the young at heart. My grandson's 18th birthday is coming up and this little guy reminds me so much of him the first time we took him ice skating in Disneyland at Olaf's Skating Rink. Such great memories! I've used a new technique with the Pearlized Enamel Effects to make the snow on my mountain tops. To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.

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.

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. I hope you love how well these sets work together. My hope is if you have one, you will see the value in combining both of them.

Winter Owls Merriest Trees Tag treat box
For my treat box project today, I’ve taken the tag die from the Merriest Trees dies and paired it with the Winter Owls to make a box sized to fit two Peppermint Bark Ghirardelli®️ squares. I’m sure there are other treats you can find to fit as well. Of course, these boxes could be made to fit any occasion using any stamps. To see how this project comes together, watch the video replay on YouTube.

'Tis the Season for Merriest Trees
Happy Saturday! Today I'm attending a Stampin' Up! virtual event called Onstage Online. I'm seeing new product, product demonstrations and participating in some business events. It's always so much fun to learn new things and to see new products in action. This event is for demonstrators only, and you can attend the next event which will be a 3-day live event in Houston, Texas, in March 2024, when you join my team. I'm using the Merriest Trees bundle of products for my card today. I absolutely love this set and it's very versatile. I especially love how you can decorate the trees (or not), have so many different sizes of trees and use it for just about any occasion. It also features A Walk in the Forest DSP, which is Stampin' Up!'s philanthropic product for this season. $3 of each and every package of this paper sold, will be donated to various nonprofit organizations bringing cheer to those in need. You get beautiful paper and the joy of knowing your dollars are being used to help others! It's a win-win in my opinion. To see how I've put this card together, be sure to check out my YouTube channel here to watch the video replay.

Because Your Awesome Trucking Along scenery card
Hello and welcome back to my blog. I’m so glad you stopped by today. My featured product this week is the Trucking Along bundle.
