A Belated Happy Birthday!

October 19, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! Of my four brothers, only my two youngest brothers are still alive and kicking. Both of them are quite a bit younger than I am, and both live a long ways from Hawai'i - Maryland and Massachusetts. But I do get to see them occasionally, and I get to catch up with them a bit on social media. And I always think of them on their birthdays. I haven't always been really good about … [Read more...] about A Belated Happy Birthday!

The Holiday Haul Stamp Set – And How to Get It!

October 17, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, All! Every year the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog has such fun host-only stamp sets, that I make sure that my very first order is at least $150 so I can buy at least one of them. This year is no different! I fell in love with the Holiday Haul Stamp Set the minute I saw it. Here is the first card that I made with this set last week. The little red car and that cute trailer just … [Read more...] about The Holiday Haul Stamp Set – And How to Get It!

Coloring Colored Paper? Yes!

October 15, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! Earlier this month, I entered a challenge to add my own colors to one of Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Papers to show how they can be changed to make our own unique project. I had just finished a project using the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper set, which includes designs that are just white and one color. While the striped and checkered designs worked for me, I had a hard … [Read more...] about Coloring Colored Paper? Yes!

We’ll Have a Blue (Plaid!) Christmas!

October 13, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! I had so much fun at Cheryl Hamilton's stamping event last month, and got some great inspiration as I work to design my own Christmas cards this year. For one thing, since I first saw the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper in the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog, I've thought of it as a green and red Christmas paper. Not so! There's BLUE in that paper! Night of Navy blue, in … [Read more...] about We’ll Have a Blue (Plaid!) Christmas!

Is It October Already?

October 12, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! Where have I been and where did September go???? Well, I've been right here in my apartment working to get ready for our new windows FINALLY! to be installed. We signed a contract on those windows well over a year (yes, YEAR) ago, and come Monday, the installation will begin. There were lots of bumps along the way, mostly due to local government ineptitude (a building permit to … [Read more...] about Is It October Already?

A Fun Card for Every Stamper!

September 25, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! Once again, it's the last Wednesday of the month, and it's time for the monthly Island Hopping Blog Hop featuring me, Robin Messenheimer, from Hawai'i's Big Island and Cheryl Hamilton from the island of Maui. This month we're featuring not only an upcoming holiday (Halloween), but we're showing off how stampers at all levels of crafting experience might create a card using the same … [Read more...] about A Fun Card for Every Stamper!

Another Perfect Stamp – From Stampin’ Up!

September 23, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! Last time, I wrote about using stamp sets outside of the Stampin' Up! catalog. I do this when I find the "perfect stamp set" someone else. But for today's card - for our grandson, Carson, I didn't have to look further than page 100 of the Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. Dino Days! While we're not sure if he's at all "into" dinosaurs, they're usually a good bet for an … [Read more...] about Another Perfect Stamp – From Stampin’ Up!

Finding the Perfect Stamp for a Birthday Card!

September 20, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! When I make birthday cards with someone special in mind (mostly family members) I try very hard to make a card that reflects an interest of theirs. Most of the time, I can find exactly what I want in my Stampin' Up! collection, limited though it is by my tiny crafting space. But every once in a while, I just can't find what I want, and I allow myself to look outside the Stampin' … [Read more...] about Finding the Perfect Stamp for a Birthday Card!

A CASEd Fun Fold!

August 30, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! Last year when we lost our home to the Kilauea Volcano eruption, dozens and dozens of sister Stampin' Up! demonstrators sent me their handmade greeting cards. I had no idea that so many people cared about me and I loved each and every one of those cards. One card in particular that I shared on my blog last summer managed to get posted on Pinterest and several people have asked me … [Read more...] about A CASEd Fun Fold!

A Christmas Card – Annual Catalog Products Only!

August 28, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! I've had several friends over for crafting sessions the past couple of weeks, and each of them has something they really want from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog (next week!). But I've had lots of fun helping them understand that there are many ways they can already start making this year's cards just with products from the Stampin' Up! ANNUAL Catalog!

A Belated Birthday Wish!

August 26, 2019 by Robin

Aloha, all! I have spent the past week just crafting away, not that you'd notice from my posting here. But it was craft or post, and craft won. In the midst of all that not posting, I missed the fourth of the birthday cards that I mentioned last week, but it was actually the first of the birthdays in the group. Just to confuse things further, the first card I made was for tomorrow's birthday … [Read more...] about A Belated Birthday Wish!
