Bottled Happiness Bundle & FREE June Project Kit
Hello there. Happy Monday to you all. Guess what...it's raining this week again. Ha! Shocking, huh. :). Man...I wish summer would get here. I saw this on facebook yesterday and thought I'd copy it here for a little chuckle. Cute kitty! But...rainy days go well with crafting, so I guess I won't complain. It's currently keeping me from that garden full of weeds that desperately needs my attention. I have been working with the Bottled Happiness bundle the last few days and I discovered that I kind of like making shaker cards. Keep reading to the end to learn how [...]
Peek-a-boo Treat Pouch with Cottage Rose
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! I couldn't wait to show you how beautiful these Peekaboo treat pouches came out when I paired them with the Cottage Rose Stamp set from the new annual catalog. Swoon! I am so in love with this little gift package. I start out with a little peek-a-book treat pouch that is currently available in the new Stampin Up annual catalog that just came out in May. These are new and I just love them. They are food safe - the insides are lined and sealed so that nothing seeps through the packaging. [...]
Thank you Cards with the Sending Smiles Bundle
Today's post is featuring the new stamp bundle called Sending Smiles. This wonderful stamp set comes with coordinating dies and makes creating beautiful cards so very easy. The dies themselves are awesome because you can cut out each component of the flower and build a beautiful bouquet. AND... there are two narrow sentiment strip dies that have a decorative embossed border that really adds a finished look to your sentiment. I am always looking for a nice narrow sentiment die and this bundle has two! Another great piece from this die set is the shadow die for the word Sending. [...]
Angle Fold – Mother’s Day Card
I wanted to design a really special Mother's Day card this year and here is what I came up with. What do ya'll think? I use several stamp sets for this card, but the primary ones used were Honeybee Home and Blessings of Home. The designer series paper that I used for the background panels came from the Heart & Home set that is currently available until the end of June in the Mini Jan-Jun Spring Catalog. I had a ton of questions on what the measurements are for this card so I created a PDF document that you can [...]
Cute Teacup Thank You Card
Hello my friends! I'm so glad you stopped by because I have this gorgeous card design to show off today. This stamp set is part of a new suite in the new 2022-23 Annual catalog which is releasing to you on May 3rd. I won't be able to link any of the new products used in this card until the catalog launches in May. This card is unique because I used Stampin Up Vellum for my card base. FUN! I love how this turned out. This card is also a great way to show off this really pretty Tea Boutique [...]
Adorable Easter Treat Holder
Oh my goodness...can you even believe we are almost through March? That means Easter is right around the corner, and so today I thought I would share with you a really cute treat holder for some chocolate foiled Easter eggs. I made a video showing how easy these treat holders come together, but in case you don't have time to watch, I also created a PDF instruction sheet that you can download. The window is cut out from the front of this box using the Every Day Label punch and it's just the perfect size. This is [...]

Cactus Cuties
Hello everyone. The other day I needed to get my January card swaps done and so I asked my Instagram followers which set I should use, and the cactus cuties set won by a landslide. So I am here today to show you what I came up with. The Cactus Cuties is available as a bundle with a great punch, which I always love and have to have. However, if you're on a budget this year, these stamps are really quite simple to fussy cut, so maybe just get the stamp set without the punch if you're looking to save [...]
