Hi, There, Stampers! For today's projects, I'm headed over to the Stampin' Up! January - April 2023 Mini Catalog. I'm sure I'll get back to some Sale-a-bration projects. But I'm going to play with the Mini Catalog for a bit. Sometimes I just love to play with graphic designs when I’m making cards – or even constructing scrapbook pages. So you can imagine that the graphic designs in the Desert … [Read more...] about Desert Details Suite – Great Graphics!

Two-Step and DistINKtive Stamping Makes Stamping So Easy!
Hi, There, Stampers! No, I didn't misspell "distinctive." Because that's not the word for this Stampin' Up! design technique that we can find in many of their stamp sets. The word is DistINKtive. That word, "ink," in the middle tells us that, just by stamping an image, it will end up with the color of the image having more than one shade. And then there's the "Two-Step Stamping" that's another … [Read more...] about Two-Step and DistINKtive Stamping Makes Stamping So Easy!

Back from Vacation – With Something A Little Different
Hi, There, Stampers! I haven't looked back through my most recent posts, and I can't remember if I told you that my husband and I were going on our first road trip in 17 years.

Amazing Year In a Slimline Card
Hi, There, Stampers! I'm back with yet another card that I've made with the Amazing Year Stamp Set. Remember that my first impression was that this was a stamp set that was pretty much just for making birthday cards. But here's another card that isn't necessarily a birthday card, though it certainly could be one. And besides focusing on the way I used the stamp set, I'd like to show you how I … [Read more...] about Amazing Year In a Slimline Card
