I just love using the Stampin' Up! catalog for inspiration, don't you? Join me weekly over on my YouTube channel and let's create together. This week, we CAS'd the Painted Poppies set in the current catalog. Just a little history, this bundle first debuted in the January - June 2020 Mini Catalog as a bundle (Painted Poppies Stamp Set and Painted Labels Dies)...what does that tell you of its popularity? I provided some tips and tricks for creating your own background panel or DSP if you will using your chosen stamps and ink, demonstrated the 2-step stamping process, and a little about how to work with ribbon.

Hello, everyone, welcome to February...the month of love... and thank you for joining us!   If you are new to my blog, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world who share our love of card-making through monthly blog hops with various themes. If you are following the hop, then you'll have just popped over from  Diane Evans (Canada) Stamping with Diane's blog.  I hope you took a minute to leave a comment for her as I'm sure she'll appreciate it just as much as I will. If you are starting the hop with me, thank you so much and I hope you enjoy what I and the other hoppers have prepared for you today! credit: Simply Simple Stamping I take inspiration for today's project from my upline, Connie Stewart at @SimplySimpleStamping.  I loved how "simple" it was to create the "pop-up" mechanism.   Measurements: Base: 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2" Shimmery White: 4" x 5 1/4"  Basic Bla...

Happy New Year and thanks for joining us for the first Roll of the Die YouTube Hop. Hop, that's right...you'll get to "hop" to the other hoppers' YouTube channels to see them create projects using the same elements. Just as previously, only this time, there are no time limitations on creating our projects. Today’s card is for the Roll The Die Challenge # 10. Last month, the dies landed on the following criteria for our cards this month: -Layering -In Colors -Embellishment -Friendship -Clean and Simple While I love clean and simple card-making, knowing when to stop adding embellishments and layers can be a bit of a challenge. This is the card I designed as a guide to the project I'll be creating for you during the hop. The supplies for both projects will be listed. Because it was a clean and simple card, I chose to use mostly basic white cardstock and added pops of color. In the sample, I used Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, and a little Crumb...

So we did the thing last night...I went live on YouTube for my weekly CAS the Catty (Catalog) craft-a-long and featured the Treasured Kindness stamp set found on page 89 of the current Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. Check out the cards we created

  I love creating cards from sketches...especially when I need a little nudge. While scouring Pinterest, I came across Sketch 15 by Cardz Tv with Mary. I shared the sketch in a card swap group that I'm in and here's the card I created for my swap partner. What do you think? Measurements are listed on the sketch so you can refer to that for dimensions Product List 156630 $0.00 159577 $7.50 163129 $97.50 146924 $7.00
