Color Revamp
At the OnStage event last weekend Stampin' Up! announced a color revamp. A few years ago the company did a color "refresh", which apparently is a smaller change than a "revamp" is. I certainly didn't know about these nuances, but whatever they call it I'm super...
More Black Ice
I recently shared my first attempt at the "black ice" stamping technique. This card is the one that I designed for the So. Burlington stamp club so that they could give it a try. Please check out the recent post for my rose card for directions on how to create the...
Easter Wishes
I designed this card for a church hands-on mission project that we've done for several years now. Many groups come together to create items to go in Easter baskets that are brought to shut-ins that aren't able to come to church. Youth members create an art project...
Amazing You!
Today is the very last day for Sale-A-Bration this year, and you won't want to miss out on these amazing free products. If you've been pondering and planning your purchase to earn SAB goodies, don't hesitate any longer! I love this gorgeous card that was created by...

I designed this card for the Essex stamp club meeting at the beginning of the month. The first card for the meeting was the fun fold birthday card that I shared a couple of weeks ago. After working on that somewhat challenging card, the ladies got to create this one...
Soda or Pop
Have you ever wondered about the Soda/Pop line? What you call this beverage is a very regional thing (apparently). Here in Vermont, we are very much in "Soda" territory. I have an aunt and uncle who live in western NY and they are definitely "Pop" people. And then...
More Sale-A-Bration Options
Earlier on, Stampin' Up! shared with demonstrators that this adorable set was the most popular Sale-A-Bration option. These pandas are just sooo cute, so it is easy to see why that would be the case. When I first saw the SAB flyer, I thought this set might be really...
Sale-A-Bration Fizz!
Stampin' Up!'s annual Sale-A-Bration (SAB) sale is coming into the home stretch. There are so many wonderful products I had a tough time choosing one to focus on for this post. There are some great SAB exclusive stamp sets, and accessories, and this year there are a...
Birthday Pop Out
This was the more difficult card that we made at the Essex stamp club meeting last week. I saw a YouTube video shared by another demonstrator and was inspired to create my own using the measurements that she provided. I do enjoy looking around on the internet for...
