Blackberry Bliss is one of my favorite Stampin’Up! colors, especially for Fall projects. I was so excited to see a whole suite of products in the July-December Mini-Catalog featuring this color! I absolutely love the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Paper. The gold foil accents in the paper just make…
The Color & Contour bundle is one of the new products in the annual catalog that I purchased a few months ago but haven’t played with until this week. The images in it are quite simple but are very pretty, and you can choose to use the solid stamps…
Making cards often follows a predictable pattern. Stamps, color, punches, and die cuts are the tools of choice – not that there’s anything wrong with that! There’s a set of dies that are in the annual catalog called “Iconic Dies.” They seem to be orphans since there’s no particular…

Strawberries are in season here in Michigan, so what better time to use the Sweet Strawberry Bundle? The images in this stamp set are so cheery, and there are a variety of sentiments available as well. I thought the strawberries would be a cute embellishment for this little basket…

Inspired by nature! I see this in my yard every day. A mama wren sits on the roof of her little house before going inside. For my Facebook Live video this week, I made three cards with the Garden Birdhouses stamp set. One of the cards I made to…
I’ve been having so much fun “playing” with the Seascape bundle that I decided to use it again, combined with the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle, for my Facebook Live projects this week! I just love how unique each card can look even though similar elements are used. If…
