There are many new packages of Designer Series Paper in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog and the one on my card today is Magnolia Lane. When you have beautiful paper as your focal point on a card, you really only need a sentiment and coordinating cardstock! (more…)

Every order placed at my Stampin’ Up! online store receives at least one card kit and today’s card is one of two cards I’m currently sending. I also send a PDF Tutorial that includes pictures, a supply list and directions. All of the paper included in each kit is cut, punched, die cut and embossed. You just need to supply your own ink, stamp set & adhesive (see the supply list below for these products).
I used the beautiful Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper along with Balmy Blue cardstock. The stamp set I used is a brand new new one called Good Morning Magnolia. (more…)
by Tracy | Jun 6, 2019 | Designer Series Paper, Gift Card Holder, Glitter Queens Blog Hop, Rectangle Stitched Dies

It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop and this month it’s all about men! I have to admit, it was REALLY hard for me to come up with a card suitable for a man. Ever since I lost my dad almost ten years ago, I just haven’t been able to make a Father’s Day card. I’ve made cards for my husband but I usually sneak in some feminine touches. It’s so hard not to add a rhinestone or two!!!
I tend to give my brother in law gift cards so I made my cards today with him in mind! I made a video last year showing how to create this type of gift card holder which you can view here! (Please note: many of the products in the video have retired). (more…)

The new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog went live on Tuesday and one of the first things I purchased that morning was the Daisy Lane Bundle. Did you know there are 29 different bundles in the catalog? You can always purchase items individually but bundles will always save you 10%! To see all the bundles Stampin’ Up! is currently offering, click here.

Check out the video below from Stampin’ Up! In it you’ll see exactly what’s in the Daisy Lane Bundle as well as another punch that coordinates with the stamp set. Several really cute cards are also shown. On a side note, I LOVE the purple ring Sarah is wearing in the video! (more…)
