Bye Bye Almost Amethyst!

Almost Amethyst is one of the colors that are retiring from the Stampin' Up! lineup, but many gorgeous new ones will step in on July 1st when the new Idea Book & Catalog goes live!



Isn't the color pretty?  I've also used the stamp set Best Wishes & More, Fresh Favorites II buttons, Pawsitively Prints Designer Series Paper, all of which are retiring.  The tree paper is already retired, from the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack.  I just felt the need to use a bunch of it up and make some sweet cards!

New Color Collections Arrive on July 1st!


Be ready after about Noon on July 1st to place your first order from the new Idea Book & Catalog to get your hands on all your heart desires...it's FULL of new and wonderful things from Stampin' Up!

Four Square Cards

The Four Square stamp set #111632 is retiring, so I thought I'd better get busy and make some masculine cards using that set and some retiring card stock!



Four Square Retires June 30th!

I stamped each image in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and my Heat Tool.  Simple cards, but I needed some just like this!

Happily Married Stationery Set

My cousin recently got married, and she appreciates handmade, so her and her new husband are BOTH getting handmade!  She is getting a stationery set, which starts out neatly boxed with a slip-off Chocolate Chip ribbon:

Stampin Up Pink Flamingo Wedding Stationery Box Set of Cards


But when you open this box ala Jackie Topa, she'll find this:

Stampin Up Pink Flamingo Wedding Stationery Box Set of Cards

Boxed Stationery Set

And it's full of 8 greeting cards and envelopes, 8 gift tags, and 8 gift cards.  A matching pen, attached notebook/address book, and postage stamp pocket are inside, too.

Stampin Up Pink Flamingo Wedding Stationery Box Set of Cards


I hope she likes this set, made from the retiring Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper and Cameo Coral Card Stock!

Her new husband is getting a Husband's 6-Pack Survival Kit.  Hope he doesn't need the sorry card!

Mojo Monday 144 Very Thankful

It's Monday!  Time for another one of my Mojo Monday challenge cards!

Stampin Up MOJO144 Mojo Monday Very Thankful Smooch Spritz Square Lattice Big Shot Folder


I whipped out the Bernina sewing machine today for this Mojo Monday challenge!

Mojo Monday 144 Very Thankful


Here are the highlights of today's MOJO144 card:

  • The Kraft card stock was textured with the very popular Square Lattice Embossing Folder from the Summer Mini Catalog, then spritzed with the Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.
  • With my Paper-Piercing Tool, I pushed the 5/8" Basic Black Satin Ribbon into fun folds while sewing to the card front layer.
  • The retiring stamp set Very Thankful and its pretty peacock image was accented with sponging Classic Ink over a smaller card stock square acting as a mask.  I think it's a nice effect, don't you?
  • I filmed a quick video on the masked sponging I did on the Confetti White Card Stock squares that I'll have on my YouTube channel soon.  In the meantime, you can watch my other video tutorials!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment today!

MOJO143 Homemade Sneak Peek

It's Mojo Monday Challenge time again!

Stampin Up Sneak Peek Mojo Monday MOJO143 Artistic Etchings Homemade Cajun Craze Cherry Cobbler Punches


This time I thought I'd try out some of my new Stampin' Up! Sneak Peek stuff...

Mojo Monday 143 Homemade Sneak Peek


As you may know, Stampin' Up! is renovating our Color Collections, saying farewell to some and hello to several new ones.  In my Mojo Monday 143 challenge card I've used three of the new colors that you will be able to get your hands on starting July 1st (unless you're a Stampin' Up! demonstrator or become one this month with the $99 Starter Kit that is on special...then of course you can already order yours!).

  • Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, and Daffodil Delight seemed just right for this new stamp Homemade #116978 and new matching 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Extra-Large Punch #118874!  
  • I also used the gorgeous medallion stamp from the new Artistic Etchings #118517 stamp set for the background, using Cajun Craze ink on the Cajun Craze card stock.
  • Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon and Black Brads team up with a little distressing with the Cutter Kit to finish off my handmade card.

Do you love the new Sneak Peek goodies?  You could see a little more from my other challenge cards :-).

MOJO142 Wanted

I'm on a roll with the Mojo Monday Challenges! I think some of my best cards are made under duress HAHA!



Mojo Monday 142 inspired me to make this beauty in retiring colors and with a retiring stamp set.


MOJO142 Wanted


Stampin' Up! is retiring the Wanted stamp set #115106, so I WANTED to make sure I used it at least one more time! It's been a staple in our house since we live in the Wild West! Remember the silk scarf I made
with it? Or the cool buckin' bronc card I cased? I'm going to miss this set, aren't you?

You only have the rest of this month to order from me before they're gone forever at the end of June, so hurry!

Kissing with Sweet Scoops

At my Stampin' Up! Hostess Clubs this month we learned all about kissing!

Stampin Up Hostess Clubs in Sturgis, Rapid City, and Black Hills South Dakota Sweet Scoops Kissing Technique


Kissing with stamps, that is!

Sweet Scoops Kissing Technique

The Kissing Technique is a fun way to get even more designs out of your stamps by enhancing or altering one image with another.  We used the Sweet Scoops stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog for this bright card.

  1. Ink up your solid stamp with one color (I used Pretty in Pink on the solid ice cream scoop stamp).  Lay it down on your Grid Paper, face up.
  2. Ink up your second stamp with a contrasting color (in my case the texture stamp in Melon Mambo).
  3. Stamp the second stamp on to the first stamp that is on the table, being careful not to slide it around, just stamp straight down.  TIP:  Laying the one on the table and leaving it there instead of trying to hold the two reduces the chance of slippage/smearing.
  4. Now stamp that double-inked image onto your card stock for the completed image!  Pretty cool, huh? It's a bit of a shortcut to masking in a way...I like shortcuts!  Just be sure to clean your double-inked stamp in between each time so you don't get the darker ink on your lighter ink pad.
I'll have the other card later, plus a 2stampis2b YouTube video on the Kissing Technique as soon as I get it edited.

Storybook Watercolor Gift Card

I'm still having fun watercoloring the Storybook Specialty Designer Series Paper and my Aqua Painters.

Stampin Up Watercoloring Gift Card Ideas Look Here Big Shot Aqua Painters Storybook





This one was for my first-grader's eighth grade buddy at school, who illustrated and wrote a really cool book for my son!  My little guy is SO proud of that book, and we wanted to thank him for his time and talent!  That book is a treasure!

Storybook Watercolor Gift Card


  • The Storybook Specialty Designer Series Paper is thick watercolor paper with cool line drawings on one side and colored patterns on the other side.
  • Use your Aqua Painters and Classic Ink to color the line drawings:  Squeeze your Classic Ink Pad in the center by the label while closed, making sure to touch the lid to the pad, and you've got a puddle of ink in the lid when you open it up!
  • I used the Stampin' Up! Look Here Big Shot Die to hold the gift card inside.  Once you've made a few, they go together very quickly with a little bit of folding and Sticky Strip.  Just follow the instructions that come with the die.

KWernerDesign Reader's Choice #2 Color Challenge

Fun colors for Kristina Werner's color challenge today!

Stampin Up Kristina Werner Color Challenge Card Ideas Elements of Style Watercoloring Itty Bitty Bits Buttons Square Lattice Big Shot Dies



Elements of Style Watercolor


Elements of Style is such a beautiful stamp set!  I can't stop using it!

  • This time I used Watercolor Paper from Stampin' Up! and my Aqua Painter in Kristina's colors to create this Old World looking card (think stucco and climbing roses).
  • I also finally used a trio of Bitty Buttons, the Itty Bitty Bits stamp set, and the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack that I ordered from the Summer Mini Catalog...fun combo!
  • Do you like the touches of White uni-ball Signo Gel Pen around the card?  I did some faux stitching around the Kraft card base, then some graduated dots on the bright Summer Sun greeting box.
  • My "stucco" is White StazOn ink brushed over the Square Lattice-embossed (this folder is ONLY available from Stampin' Up!) Ballet Blue card stock, and the edges are either distressed with my Cutter Kit (LOVE IT) or torn by hand.
  • Some Crystal Effects over the wild roses and dogwood-ish flowers and leaves give the rustic elements a touch of polish and freshness.
Do you like?  Does it get you in the mood for a European vacation?  Click if you'd like to see some of my  other challenge projects, which I'm having a blast creating!

On a side note, today is a certain goal deadline with Stampin' Up! that I would LOVE to meet (Stampin' Up! is SO good to us!).  If you have been envious of all the wonderful benefits that I get as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, please consider joining before the end of the day and make us BOTH happy!  I would absolutely LOVE to have you join my group!
