This is a sample for one of the swaps I need to make for the July quarterly demonstrator meeting. I like it and think I can make a dozen of these. I am not a good repeat creator, preferring to vary every card. 

Todays cards are sponged Dandy Laser Cut card fronts. I spend time discussing a very old but trusty tool I use for multiple loop bows and I demonstrate a fun way to add even more dimension to your bows. 

Libby and I crafted on Memorial Day. It was one of those great crafting days where all of my projects really clicked. I was able to make a record number of cards - seven! I will video about five of them this week in a multi part series. Today's part one introduces the Dandy Laser Cut Specialty Paper and the challenge I had with it. I also discuss a trick to hiding paper in such a way that you...

Here is the list of available storage items I utilize when breaking down my Paper Pumpkin kits. Note: The Iris card cases listed below are a better shape for the storage sleeves I use. In the video I show the long narrow Homz cases which I cannot find anymore.

This project is the favorite of the three I created with Libby last week. I delayed posting this one due to Paper pumpkin and the Paper Pumpking organization videos. I also include a couple of tips regarding taming the new silver and gold SImply Elegant trims.

Though not my favorite, and I do like baseball, with a little help this kit can make many nice cards. See in the video how I extend this kit to work for non-baseball events.

Ooo Libby threw out a challenge for this episode of winter is coming Wednesday! And yes, I did struggle, but not on the card you would expect! 

Last weekend Libby and I dug into the new catalog! This is the first of three videos walking through the projects we made.

I love how this project turned out!

See my tip on how I have wrangled the new Simply Elegant silver and gold trim as well as explain how I make a die cut appear to be longer than it actually is.

Enjoy!

I am loving the new Blends storage from Stampin' Up!

Have a look at my space, see how the storage trays work as well as see examples of how to label the markers for easy access.

There are 10 pink Blends markers for 2021-22! I thought it would be nice to have cardstock and embellishment swatches to speed up deciding on which to use.

The camera had a hard time with all the glossy surfaces, I apologize for that. 

In the end I have a great swatch tool to pull out whenever needed. I might need to swatch ALL the Blends in this manner.
