I am joining the Stamp 'N Hop group for a February "Love" theme blog hop. This is such a clever, talented group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world and I am always excited to get to hop around and see what everyone has created.

Currently my husband and I are camping very far south in Arizona in a lovely town called Sierra Vista. It is at 4600 feet in elevation,...

Masculine Birthday Card For My Cousin | Tracy Marie Lewis | www.stuffnthingz.com

For my cousin's birthday, I made a fun card with bright colors using Swirly Frames from the annual catalog and Amazing Life from the new Occasions catalog. I chose fun masculine colors: Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green with black for the card base. The case was fussy cut and popped up with dimensionals. I did not add any embellishments and think it came out perfect!

This is a sneak peek of a technique I have been working on. I have created a video tutorial that will be going live on February 13th.

I love aged, distressed projects and it has been a very long time since I've even attempted to make a paper project aged. In fact, after I lost all of my craft supplies and replenished with Stampin' Up! supplies, it just hadn't crossed my mind. Everyone...

I needed to make a birthday card for a Pacific Northwest resident. I decided to get my High Tide stamp set out. It is a nice change to use scene creating stamp sets. The sentiment was a tough one to find as I needed it to be a certain size to fill in the available space, and it needed to be masculine. It ended up that the perfect sentiment is from Perennial Birthday.

The new Occasions catalog has a stamp set that is near and dear to my heart. Horses! Yes, for most of my life I have owned and showed horses in just about every event.

Not so many years back, I sold my show horse, intending to look for another young show prospect, however less than a year after I sold him, I suffered a majore spine injury.

Three surgeries later I decided to sell...

I was thrilled to receive my Occasions haul in January. As I sat down for my weekend of crafting, the very first card I made was a Valentine. I used the Be Mine Stitched Thinlit Dies with three colors of cardstock: Lovely Lipstick, Berry Burst and Rich Razzleberry.

I had a chunk of white Wood Texture DSP floating around my desk that I had not used on a previous project so I started...
