Have you noticed this awesome Background Stamp Set, Borders to Backgrounds, in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog?! It is one of my favorites, and was on the first order I placed when the catalog launched! I used it a few months ago to create an Anniversary card for my teammate Ann, using some of her favorite Stampin' Up! colors!
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Since it's Tuesday, it is time for another Create in Color Challenge - woohoo! I had a lot of fun with this challenge and the new SNAILED IT bundle. This is my first play with this bundle and I think this may be one of my favorite cards I've ever made!
Today's the day! The NEW Butterfly Bouquet collection from Stampin' Up! is available beginning TODAY! 🦋

Hello and Happy Monday! Today I'm thrilled to be sharing a video tutorial with you! The video shows how to make the amazing card pictured, but it's main focus is to teach you how to add dimension to your stamps using ink and sponge daubers! Check out the video below.
Hello and Happy Sunday everyone! It's time for this month's Share it Sunday blog hop, woohoo! 🎉 As today is the last day of Sale-a-Bration, I'm sharing two cards with similar layouts and colors. Both use the amazing Flower & Field DSP and one of them uses my favorite Sale-a-Bration stamp set... Darling Donkeys!
Happy Saturday, and welcome to a Paper Pumpkin blog hop! February's Paper Pumpkin kit, Bouquet of Hope, is uplifting and empowering with sentiments like "Thinking of You." Something else that's awesome?! It coordinates with the Flower and Field 6" x 6" Sale-a-Bration DSP! I love the coordination here, especially because I've been able to stock up on this DSP during Sale-a-Bration. By the way, can you believe that Sale-a-Bration ends TOMORROW (Feb 28)?!
Can you believe it's already the LAST Sale-a-Bration spotlight?! Today I'm featuring the gorgeous Berry Blessings stamp set and matching DSP - free in my online store with a $100 order. This offer ends on Sunday night! Ahhhhh!
Below are two super cute and quick samples using the stamp set and DSP. Be sure to scroll all the way through to see both samples!

The weather is getting warmer where I live... we've seen regular highs of 30 degrees (Fahrenheit) this week! Although, I am reminiscing to one year ago when I was in 80 degree, sunny Orlando, Florida on a family vacation. This sunset card reminds me of those warmer days!
In my email newsletter last week, I shared a sneak peek of this card, and I'm so excited to share the whole thing today! I recently purchased the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and couldn't wait to use them! I paired them with the Fancy Phrases stamp set and adorable Paper Blooms Sale-a-Bration DSP (leaving this week!)

Hello, and welcome to a spring blog hop today! Here in Minnesota, the highs have been below zero for a few weeks now (and that doesn't include windchill)! So, I'm excited to be participating in a SPRING blog hop today to feel a little bit warmer!
The card I'm sharing today uses the Flowering Cactus Product Medley, which can be found in the first few pages of the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. I absolutely love this product medley, and how simple it is to create with - you also get an amazing set of supplies including stamps, dies, paper, ribbon, and felt flowers!
Even though Valentine's Day is past us, I have still been loving to create with the Lots of Heart bundle! Do you remember the die cutting technique I shared last week on how to use your dies to emboss instead of cut? If you didn't catch my video tutorial, you can view it here.
After filming that video, I had the extra piece of Basic White leftover, and I used it to make the card I'm sharing today!
Today I'm so excited to share how to make a quick and easy fun fold card! I love this fun fold because it doesn't use any extra cardstock, and is a fun way to change up your traditional card making game.
Happy Monday! Today I have an awesome masculine birthday card to share with you, that I made for my dad whose birthday was a few weeks ago. I used the Well Written bundle, found in the Annual Catalog. I also used the Stitched Stars - they are quickly becoming a favorite of mine!
Hello and Happy Saturday, everyone! I am so excited to be participating in my FIRST Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop today! If you are new here, I'd like to share a little bit about myself! My name is Melissa and I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota in the USA. I have been stamping since I was 17 and I've been a demo for just shy of 5 years (my 5th anniversary is in March!). I love to create and to share that fun with everyone! I hope you enjoy the cards I'm sharing today, and be sure to "hop along" and view some other inspiration too!
Happy Friday! Welcome to another Sale-a-Bration Spotlight. Today I am featuring the adorable Flower and Field DSP! I think this is my favorite DSP in the whole brochure. Below, I've shared two samples using this DSP. Be sure to scroll through to see both of them! And don't forget, Sale-a-Bration ends on February 28 this year (NOT March!). This paper is FREE with a $50 order in my online store!

Today I'm participating in the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop! Our theme is "Movies & TV Shows." I'll be honest, I had to think of an idea for this blog hop for a few weeks, but finally had an idea come to me! My favorite TV show is "FRIENDS," so I created an appropriately themed card!
If you've been around here for the last few weeks, you know that I have been LOVING the Hearts and Kisses bundle from Stampin' Up! With Valentine's Day this weekend, I am sharing one more card made with this super cute stamp set and punch.
Hello and happy Tuesday, everyone! Today I'm excited to be sharing one of my favorite die-cutting techniques in this similarly-themed blog hop! Once you see my technique, be sure to hop along and see other techniques too.
My favorite die cutting technique (at least currently!) is to use my dies to emboss, instead of cutting. Some dies are great for creating backgrounds and I love to use them as such. My final card today was also designed for this week's Heart Themed Challenge over at The Paper Players (PP527).
Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm so excited to share my February Customer Thank You cards with you all today! If you live in the US and need to place an order this month, I will happily send you this card as a thank you! This month, I decided to use the adorable Sweet Strawberry stamp set!
Hello all! This weekend I participated in Robyn Cardon's all-day demonstrator only event, the Stampin' Spectacular. During this event, we had several creative challenges, and I made 17 cards (and 1 box)! One of those challenges was a color challenge using black, white, gray, silver, and Magenta Madness (or pink if you don't have Magenta Madness).
