There are so many things about the new 2010 Holiday Mini that I love and this card features several of them! 
*  The Bells & Boughs stamp set – one that will take you back in time to Christmas’s past. 
*  The Glass Glitter – glitter that is so chunky and sparkly and looks like [...]

The Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper is SO beautiful!  It’s just one of the many beautiful prints available in the new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog.  We made this card at my stamp class last month and I love the brightness of it – it’s bound to lift the spirits of the person that will be receiving it!
Pear Pizzazz is another [...]

I put my Neutrals Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack to good use this week by creating this Notepad holder and six note cards for a friend/co-worker.  Her last work day was yesterday (at my full-time job) and she is going to concentrate on building up her embroidery/silk screen business.  I decided to create this for [...]

A Merry Christmas!
My Holiday Mini pre-order was delivered and I just had to play with some of the new products!  (Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator has many perks and it is so cool to be able to order new products early!).  So I invited two friends to come over and stamp with me.  This card was definitely [...]

Ready for Easter
I was inspired to dress up Ms. Build-a-Bear for her Easter egg hunt!  I first saw the use of the oval punches for her hat on Mary Fish’s blog, "Stampin’ Pretty‘.  I just had to try it.  So, I decided to dress her up in a white hat with polka-dots as well as [...]

I had a lot of fun creating gift boxes out of the On Board Chipboard Hearts.  Wonderful not just for Valentine’s Day, but for Anniversaries, Birthday’s and any occasion you want to dress up a small gift for someone.  This was one of the demonstrations that I saw at the Stampin’ Up! Leadership event in [...]
