Who doesn't love ice cream? I know I sure do! Living in Arizona allows me to think it's a great idea to have ice cream as often as I wish. 😊 I have it often. Today's card features our new Ice Cream Corner Suite. Just look at all those yummy confections! I made a shaker card a new way. I attended our online On Stage event for demonstrators last November and someone showed us how to make a shaker card using a clear envelope. I'll never make a shaker card the "old" way again! Here's my card:

A Touch of Ink
Hello and welcome!
Today I'm showing you a card I made using a FREE product I earned from our Sale-a-bration catalog. During the month of January and February, there are several products you can get free with a qualifying order. A Touch of Ink is one that I fell in love with. It features a butterfly, a dragonfly and a flower, with some really sweet sentiments. Here's my card:

Time to Sale-a-brate !
Hello and welcome!
Yes, once again, it's been a while since I posted. I won't make any excuses. We all know that 2020 was not a "normal" year, and so far, 2021 is proving to be much of the same. I pray that you and your loved ones are safe and I pray that 2021 will improve and a final end to the pandemic is near.
Every year, starting in January and ending February 28th, Stampin' Up! has their best promotion of the year. Sale-a-bration is a wonderful way to get products FREE with a qualifying order. For every $ 50 you spend in any catalog, you get to choose a product from the Sale-a-bration brochure. To top it off, we also have a new January - June Mini catalog, that is full of brand new stamps, dies, and papers. What fun !\
Today I am showing you some of the cards we will make this Saturday at stamp camp. The Love You Always Suite includes this gorgeous black and white paper that is absolutely stunning! I love black and white and this paper has beautiful florals and patterns that can be used all during the year. And if you're so inclined, these flowers can be colored with our Stampin' Blends, or our new Blending Brushes for a soft, delicate look. The Forever and Always bundle and the Always in my Heart bundle, include a stamp set and dies at a 10% discount. I used the Forever and Always bundle on my card, along with our Black Glittered ribbon from the annual catalog. I cropped the heart out with the Be Mine Stitched dies, also in the annual catalog. I stamped the flowers onto the heart (including the scalloped edge) using our Rococco Rose ink. When I adhered the heart down, I glued the think scalloped heart to the card, and popped up the center heart with dimensionals. The entire panel is adhered to a Basic Black cardstock base. Here's my card:
I used a strip of our new Love You Always Foil Sheets in Rococco Rose as a nice contrast to the black and white. A few rhinestones scattered about the heart for a little extra bling. The inside of the card says "with my whole heart", to pair with "Love You With" on the front.I must admit, although I'm not much of a "heart" person, these cards were very fun to make. I don't do monochromatic often enough and I should, because I always love the results.
If you don't already have a demonstrator, I would love to send you a catalog. Just contact me and I'll make it happen. Now is a great time to try our products because you get so much free just for shopping! Until next time, be well and God Bless.

Tag Buffet
Hello and welcome!
It's been a while since I last posted, and my only excuse is that time got away from me...AGAIN! 😏
Today I'm sharing one of the best kits in the Mini catalog. Tag Buffet includes enough supplies to make 30 tags! But if tags aren't your thing, how about using it to make Christmas cards? Another demonstrator I know (Rachel Tessman) said she made 96 cards from just one kit! 96 !! Just add some of your own cardstock, designer paper and ribbons, and you've got your Christmas cards done in one afternoon. We made 6 tags, 1 Christmas card, and tucked all the tags into a cute little decorated Mini Paper Pumpkin box. What a great kit for a quick office gift, or for a hostess if you're invited to dinner for the holidays.
The matching stamp set (sold separately) has the cutest images and sentiments; just perfect to coordinate with the tag kit. Oh, and I almost forgot! The Tag Buffet kit comes in a gorgeously designed gift box. It's perfect to put all your Christmas cards in, or for an instant wrapped gift for someone special.
Here's a look at what we created today:

Wishing You Well...
Hello friends
Thanks for stopping by. Today I have a beautiful card we made at stamp camp today. See the swirly designs on the left side panel? We made this with the "rolling marble" technique. I must say, it was a huge hit. I had the biggest class attendance since March! I was totally happy! Here's my card:
The card base is Pretty Peacock and the copper foil gives this card just enough sparkle. To do the technique, we put 3 dots of re-inkers in 3 colors inside a clear Stampin' Up! case. Use a little snail to place your cardstock on the opposite side of your case, and add 3 marbles. Roll the marbles over the re-inkers, so they get all covered in the inks. Then flip your box over, and roll the marbles all over your cardstock. This technique is a stress reliever too! You can be as gentle as you want or you can go to town rolling those marbles and making as much noise as you can. Everyone had a great time. Once those colors are done, we rinsed out the boxes and marbles, and did the same thing, but this time, we added 3 dots of Copper re-inker. You can use gold too, just keep in mind that your metallic inks are much thicker, so you don't need as much ink. Roll the marbles the same way, then flip the box over and make sure you roll them over your cardstock. The beauty of this technique is, no two will ever turn out exactly the same. It's so much fun to see what you get when you're done!Friday, September 11, 2020
More Toilet Paper Cards...
You guessed it, 2 more cards made from toilet paper. I have been having so much fun with this technique. I have to thank France Martin at Frenchie Stamps for the idea. She learned it from someone else, so I have no idea where the original came from. But it's so cool. Here's my cards:
This card has a Highland Heather card base, with a layer of Pool Party. I used the sheer pool party ribbon to add a touch of softness, to go with the embossing folder. Sentiment is from our new Gilded Autumn stamp set, part of our Gilded Autumn suite.
So there you are, all done with the bathroom supplies now. 😊 I'm glad you stopped by today. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or if you'd like a copy of our two current catalogs. Christmas is just around the corner, and our new mini catalog has some really wonderful products, perfect for the fall and Christmas season.
Enjoy your day!

Toilet Paper Part Two
Hello again! I hope you're all having a great Labor Day weekend. It's been a long time since we have been able to go out without social distancing and masks, so I hope where you live you're able to go out and enjoy without too much anxiety. I'm learning very quickly how to grocery shop online and pick it up in a couple of days. It's hard to get used to that, but I guess our world is going to be very different for awhile.
When I get anxious, I pray but also find time to get into my craft room and hibernate. A couple of days ago I showed you a card that was made with toilet paper. Today, I have another one for you. As mentioned, I actually made 4 of these, so for the next couple of days, I'm going to show you all of them, so you can get a better idea of different designs and colors. Here's my card for today:
