Good Morning Stampers! Burrrrrrr… It's cold today – high of 22 degrees! I guess it's not as cold as up north, but I am not used to this! I'm originally from sunny Southern California and it's time like this that I miss that climate! Today's card is a vintage type card. I used the frame from the Charming Stamp Set that's on page 32 of the Holiday Mini. It's also… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! I've been given a challenge by my stamping coach John Sanpietro to come up with an article regarding customer questions and answers. Your mission, should you decide to accept, will be ask me a question, any question, about Stampin' Up! techniques, tools, stamps, accessories, etc. I am not looking for originality but commonly asked questions.

I usually sell my stamp sets as soon as they retire (except for those that I can't bear to part with)… Read More »
Today's card is for Splitcoast Stampers Friday's LSC249. The challenge is to create a white Christmas card. I might have cheated a bit because it called for only white or clear embellishments and I used the gold elastic cord! Oh well… Another of my favorite type of cards – quick, clean and simple! I stamped the image using the Encore Gold and then used the heat tool to hasten the… Read More »

I've made a couple of gift holders for my grandchildren. I've made two and need four more to go. I saw the cutest ornament money holders on Lisa Eisner's (Princess Lisa) blog. Lisa got the idea from Carolina Buchting (Carolina's Creative Pad). Carolina has a video tutorial on her blog on how to make this cute money holder. I need to make six of these and I thought that the brown… Read More »
