Tulip Fields Sneak Peak The Tulip Fields bundle is on the cover of the upcoming Jan-June 2022 Stampin' Up mini catalog and as soon as I saw it I knew it would be on the top of my list to buy. And this stamp set and the whole Flowering Fields bundle does not disappoint! The Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper is to die for and wait until you see the Brushed Brass Butterflies--your heart will flutter. And the dies with the cute little bicycle are so much fun. I can see those little fences and the bikes making a statement on some other cards too. Let's get going on making our card. First gather your supplies: 1. Mango Melody cardstock cut 8 1/2 by 5 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" and folded in half 2. Basic White cardstock 4 1/2 by 3 1/4" for the front and 5 by 3 3/4" for the inside 3. Evening Evergreen cardstock 3 3/8 by 4 5/8" and a scrap for the inside 4. Daffodil Delight cardstock scrap for the inside 5. Soft Suede cardstock for the windmill

Symbols of Fortune   I decided to make this card today as I just love the new Symbols of Fortune suite that is coming January 4th in the new Jan-June Mini Stampin' Up catalog. This catalog is packed with gorgeous new suites and I'm afraid this one will get overlooked as the colors and stamp set are more subtle, but it is really stunning. It is on page 22-24 and the main colors in it are Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Crumb Cake, Smokey Slate but the best part is that all the papers have gold foil on one side! For this card I didn't use the foiled side, but if you watch my Facebook Live below you will see a card I made with the foiled paper.  Let's get going on making our card. First gather your supplies: 1. Evening Evergreen cardstock cut 4 1/4 by 11" and scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2"" on the long side. Another piece 4 1/4 by 2 3/4" 2. Basic White cardstock 4 1/4 by 2 3/4" for the inside,  4 by 2 1/2" for the front, and a sc

  Sunshine & Rainbow Bay Window Card I don't know about your weather, but here in San Diego it is overcast and gloomy and I think that is why this paper appealed to me today. I've been wanting to try this bay window fancy fold for a while, but had thought it looked difficult but I couldn't be more wrong. This paper is called Sunshine & Rainbows and is featured in the Sale-a-Bration catalog that starts January 4th 2022. The paper will be one of your FREE choices if you spend $50 in January or February. If you need a little pick me up, this is that paper for you--it will make beautiful spring cards and bring a smile to anyone's face. The paper reminds me of that Pharrell song "Happy" as each page is just so fun! The only way to get it now is to become a Demonstrator with Stampin' Up, so contact me if you want to join my team of Robin's Rowdies.  If you get lost in any of the directions, watch my Facebook live below at the end of this post.  Let&#

Blessings of Home Before I start--this news just in. Stampin' Up is having a free shipping day!!! One day only on 12/8!! That's like getting 10% off everything!! This is on top of the discounts on the Clearance Rack or the Last Chance products. If you order through me (just click on the Robin to the left) and use my host code ASVPG6B6 and spend over $75,  I will send you a surprise (usually a package of embellishments)!! Don't use the host code if you spend over $150 as then the rewards (at least 10% of what you spent in free product) is yours.  If you were lucky enough to attend On Stage, our at-home Stampin' Up convention, then you could buy the Blessings of Home bundle early. I just love the large, floral images in this set as well as the fonts on the sentiments. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) has a lot of earthy colors like Cinnamon Cider and Misty Moonlight, but I chose to use the one with Fresh Freesia--isn't it beautiful paired with Pale Papaya?  Let's g
