🍐 Painterly Pears in Action

 Hello my stamping friend!

I recently hosted a stamping class featuring the Painterly Pears Suite, and it was a hit! We explored softly brushed pears, layered florals, and elegant folds.

To keep the creativity going, I designed another fun card and recorded a technique video showing how to create pears and incorporate them into your card design.

🎥 Watch the pear technique in action:  

This video walks through the stamping and blending techniques we used in class.

Team Stamp It Blog Hop

Hello, my Stampin’ friend!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Today's Blog Hop theme is Christmas in July. 

It’s hard to believe there are fewer than 155 days until Christmas. Summer may be in full swing, but the holiday season will sneak up on us before we know it. Every year, I find myself scrambling to finish my cards and projects, so this time I’ve made a promise: start early!

The inspiration for today’s cards comes from the Peaceful Garden Suite, featured in the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog. I had the chance to pre-order and play with this suite early, thanks to a Stampin’ Up! Creativity Now event. I was instantly intrigued by the unexpected color combo:  

Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, and Misty Moonlight.  

It’s not a palette I’d normally associate with Christmas, but paired with white and silver, it creates a fresh, modern twist on holiday elegance.

✂️ Card One

This card highlights all the elements of the suite.

✂️ Card Two

This card features a fun note card banner element on the front — perfect for tucking in an extra message! It also opens up to a fully decorated inside, making it extra special.

 ✂️ Card Three

A simple layout that showcases both sides of the same DSP. I cut the DSP into a 3⅞" square, then sliced it diagonally and adhered it to a Basic White panel. Clean, crisp, and easy to replicate!

These designs are perfect for mass production, and the color combo adds a refreshing touch to your holiday crafting. Whether you lean traditional or love a modern twist, this suite offers plenty of inspiration.

I’d love to hear from you!  

💬 What’s your favorite color combination for Christmas?  

Do you stick with classic reds and greens, or do you like to mix it up? Leave me a comment for a chance to win a prize:

Father’s Day Gift - Weekend Adventure

Hello, my Stampin’ friends!

With Father’s Day around the corner, here’s a fun and practical gift idea! 🎁 My boozy caddy—which I demonstrated during Wednesday’s FB Live—has a new twist. This time, it’s not for booze but for hot sauces! 🌶

Three sauces fit perfectly! I also thought that the sentiment from the Weekend Adventure stamp set complements this caddy beautifully
