 United Through Creativity FREE Download The first Stampin’ Up! value statement is this:  we care about people first . To me, caring about people first means treating others with kindness, respect, and equal consideration. It means working together towards a common goal, helping each other through life’s challenges, and celebrating one another’s accomplishments. It means including others, even when we disagree, have contrasting life experiences, or simply see things differently. Caring about people first is our greatest strength! In honor of this value—and in the spirit of World Diversity Day which was May 21st—we’d like to celebrate what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity! The United Through Creativity Digital Download features inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual sentiments and illustrations that represent the multiple markets Stampin’ Up! engages with. And, it’s free for all! Just use my link above, or go to Stampinup.com and get your free dow...

 Expressions in Ink Suite If you've seen the cover of the new Annual Stampin' Up Catalog then you've seen a sneak peak at the Expressions in Ink suite on page 96-97 that I decided to play with today. The colors are happy and fun and the DSP is TO DIE FOR even though I didn't use it on the cards above! In my Facebook Live over at Stamp with Dr Robin (and below) you will see how I made a whole variety of cards from this suite, but I thought I'd highlight one using the large die as a mask here today. The suite includes the Artistically Inked Bundle, the Expressions in Ink DSP which has gold foil in every page, as well as the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack that has gold pieces to punch out and some sparkly adhesive backed sequins. Let's get going and making the cards above. First gather your supplies: 1. Magenta Madness card base cut 8 1/2 by 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and folded 2. Thick Whisper/Basic White card base cut 11 by 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2...

 Sweet as a Peach with a Fun Fold Surprise The peaches are here! The peaches are here, in more ways than one. I bought my first round of summer peaches at Costco this week and at the same time received my shipment of the new catalog products and the first thing I opened to play with was the Sweet as a Peach bundle and matching DSP. Peaches make me think of lazy, warm summer days and all the goodness that goes with them so when I saw this set I had to have it. The stamp set has beautiful Distinktive stamps that make the images look layered even though they are just one stamp, and the sentiments and fonts are beautiful.  The colors are just so luscious in the DSP that I just had to use them today in a card. I got the inspiration for the inside of the card while watching Karen Titus make an accordion fold with butterflies and wanted to use that in a card. Here's how I did it. First gather your supplies: 1. Calypso Coral card base cut 8 1/2 by 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and fold...
