CRAFTING DAILY DOSE

If you’re in the U.S., I hope you had a good Thanksgiving! I was in the kitchen more than the craft room last week, which is not my natural habitat! I’m always grateful to be part of such a talented community of cardmakers, but especially so when my crafting time is short and I need inspiration! I’m sharing a couple of fun-folds that I learned from others! This first card is a diagonal joy fold card. One of my team leaders, Susan Campfield created a make-and-take project for

I’ve been occu-pied with making Thanksgiving cards and have a trio of them to share today. I started by stamping a bunch of pies and cupcakes from the Sweets & Treats stamp set and colored them with Blends markers. Then I just had fun arranging them in different ways! As always, you can find the link to the supply list at the end of this post. Measurements: -Mossy Meadow cardstock 5-1/2” (W) x 8-1/2” (H), scored at 4-1/4" along the long side -Basic White cardstock 4-3/4” (W)

Welcome to the November 2021 Technique Squad Blog Hop! I’m excited to be a part of this collaboration with fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrators because it’s a chance to explore new techniques and have fun experimenting. This month, we’re using the no-line watercoloring technique! This involves stamping your image in a light ink, which is blended out when you watercolor on top of the image. It’s typically done to color in line images, but I wanted to use it for the Eden’s Garden s

I‘m continuing my series on gift card holders! This one is a quick and simple one using Designer Series Paper. You can make as many as 3 at a time from a single sheet of 12" x 12" paper, or you can just cut out one. For these, I've used the beautiful Ever Eden Designer Series Paper that is only available till January 3rd, or while supplies last. If your paper has a directional design, place it on the inside of the gift card holder and take note of how to orient the paper. Thi

After I filled the treat holder from my Gingerbread & Peppermint Workshop with candy, it left a minty smell even after I emptied it. That got me to wondering about how to add scent to my other cards. My friend Jill suggested I could leave the cards in a zip top bag for awhile with some scented oils. And it worked! Just be sure your intended recipient doesn’t have a sensitivity to scents. Pour several drops of scented oil on a cotton pad. I used Holiday Desserts Fragrance Oil

I‘m continuing my series on gift card holders with a Joy Fold card that has a pocket for a gift card. Since I still had supplies out from the Gingerbread & Peppermint Workshop, I decided to use some of them to make this card! You can find a link to the supply post at the end of this post. Here are the tutorial and measurements if you’d like to make one! Measurements: -Cinnamon Cider cardstock 8-1/2” (W) x 4-1/4” (H), scored at 3” along the long side 8” (W) x 3” (H), scored at

I’m excited to share a freshly minted virtual workshop for you, featuring the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set, Gingerbread dies, and papers from the Gingerbread & Peppermint collection! We'll create a treat holder and 5 cards, including a special easel card and an interactive card! Each workshop focuses on a curated collection of Stampin' Up products that are fun and versatile. You'll receive access to the tutorial videos and written measurements with the purchase of the featur

As the holidays approach, I‘m preparing ways to give out checks and gift cards. Today I have a quick and easy idea to share with you! It uses the new Ever Eden Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Eden dies. These products will be available starting tomorrow, November 2nd! The dies (and coordinating stamp set) are an early-release product from the upcoming January-June 2022 mini catalog, but the specialty DSP with gold foil is only available until January 3rd or while supplies las
