Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Sample 1
This is a card that we made in my March classes. It is extremely easy to create this card using the new OnLine Exclusive Simply Zinnia suite of products. The card base is Berry Burst. The Flowering Zinnia DSP was cut into 4" x 6" pieces. I fussy cut the top of the DSP. Depending on what piece of the DSP you received, the top might be slightly different. Next I cut a piece of the green stripe 4" x 2 1/2". I put glue on the top back of the DSP and attached it to the green piece. Now it is way to...

Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Double Z Fold
I came across a beautiful card on Pinterest and was inspired to recreate it. I made a few changes to the front of the card, but otherwise, I followed the original card. I used the Perennial Lavender suite from the Mini Catalog to create this card during my February classes, and it was a hit with everyone. Some items from this suite have been unavailable due to high demand, such as the dies, but right now all is available. The inspirational card that I cased was made by Tara Carpenter. The...
Stampin’ Up! Meadow Dies Using Vellum for Tech4Stampers Blog Hop February
The Tech4Stampers Blog Hop is today and the theme is Ways With Vellum. Since that groundhog did not see his shadow, I decided on a spring card. Spring is my favorite season although where I live I feel like spring is always later than I would like. Years ago it was all the rage to get your colors done, so of course, I got my mine done. I turned out to be a spring, not surprising. Here are the details of my card. I tried to use the in-colors that are retiring in a few months. They have been one...
Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – February 2024
This month's blog hop has participants from all over the world. Please check out all the blogs for great inspiration and maybe leave a comment. I used the Layering Leaves stamp set, the Bough Punch and the Everyday Details Dies to create my card. Here is a picture of all of my cards. Sorry the lighting was not good, and I do not have the cards anymore so I cannot retake the picture. Here is the list of blog hop participants. Card Instructions: Card base is Crumb Cake cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"...
Stampin’ Up! Creative Challenge – My Cards
Yesterday's post told you about a challenge that Stampin' Up! is doing during February. If you missed it, you can see it here. My first card is created using the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from the Sale-a-bration brochure. I am sorry that my picture is a little fuzzy. I have even photographed it again and still fuzzy. What makes it even worse is the one on the right is perfect. Go figure! The background is Tahitian Tide - which will be retiring in May. I cut a separate piece for the front...

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Suite
The Perennial Lavender Suite is my favorite in the new Mini catalog. It speaks spring and happiness to me. The suite has two stamp sets with matching dies, beautiful designer series paper, shimmer gems and butterfly accents. The January Paper Pumpkin coordinated with the suite. I have loved making cards with all of the product. The above card I made for a tutorial for January with the Tech4Stampers. This is a wonderful group of ladies who along with Louise Sims (our fearless leader) is helping...
