Please Let Me Hear From You

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
and became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator early in 2025.
I'd love to be YOUR demonstrator as you buy your Stampin' Up! products.

2020 Intro Page

Today I have a scrapbook page - intro page to my 2020 album.  Here's a video that shows how I made it:

The background paper was from my stash - no idea where I got it - but the cardstock (Pretty Peacock) & doves (fussy cut from Peaceful Garden DSP) are from Stampin' Up!  I used a flip flap for the journaling (though I may remove it and move some of it to the next page).

A Couple of Birthday Cards

Today I have a couple of cards I made for special birthdays, both using the Birthday Song stamp set - currently on last chance sale.  

This first one (above) is for my SIL who loves flamingos - an easel card.  You can see it as placed for display below:

The card base is Flirty Flamingo - and of course, Basic White.  The patterned paper is from the older Otterly Adorable DSP.  I used Stampin' Blends to color the stamped image, and then die cut the focal using a die from Textured Notes die set.

And here's the one for my DB - the world traveler:

It is a vertical easel - see next picture - set for display:

I used a camera I made using dies a friend had (I think they were Spellbinders) and scraps from my stash.  The background paper was from Take to the Sky DSP, and matted with Smoky Slate cardstock.  You can see the inside below where I used the stamps.

Hot Foiled Magic

Do you like the papers that have gorgeous foiled elements on them?  Today's cards make use of Stampin' Up!s new Hot Foil System for making our own foiled embellishments and focals!!!  SO EASY, and SO COOL!  You can see how I made the Hot Foiled elements here: 

And how I created the cards here: 

Below are closeups of the cards and a quick look at how I made them.
