  Daffodil Dies Done Easy   I've been playing with the Daffodil Daydreams bundle a lot lately, especially as we used it at our mini-retreat this past weekend. These are 2 of the cards we made and now you can make them too. This set is perfect for spring cards, Mother's Day, Easter or Passover cards. I also wanted to share that the dies aren't as hard to use as they look. You just need to take them out and play with them. I have a lot of tips on using them in my Facebook Live video below. I go live every Monday at 1 pm PST on Facebook at Stamp with Dr Robin--please join me. You can also see the videos on my YouTube channel by the same name. The second card is a bay window card--we made one a few weeks ago with the free Sale a Bration Rainbow paper. Both of these cards today were made with the free Sale a Bration Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper. This paper is a must have to use with your Daffodil Daydreams set.  Let's make two cards. First gather your supplies fo...

Sweet Conversations Valentine's Day Cards   Today I'm going to show you how to make two more Valentine's Day cards from the Sweet Conservations bundle. I just love the happy colors in this DSP and the adorable tiny envelope that you can make from the dies is to die for! I can see that envelope making an appearance on many more cards in the future. This set is so versatile--if you just change the sentiments on these cards you can easily use them for birthday or anniversary cards. As always, my Facebook Live video is attached--come watch me live every Monday at 1 pm (PST). Let's make two cards. First gather your supplies for both: 1. Basic White thick cardstock cut 8 1/2 by 5 1/5" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" and folded in half (first card above) 2.Pool Party cardstock 11 by 4 1/4" scored on the long side at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2" (card 2) 3. Basic White cardstock 4 1/8 by 2 5/8" for the inside (card 2), a piece cut from the 3rd largest Scalloped C...

Valentine Cards  So today you get a happy surprise--2 cards in one post and one Facebook Live video below! These cards were 2 of the ones we made this weekend at my stamp class and I couldn't decide which to highlight, so I did both and now you get to see how to make them. The first one highlights the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing folder that cuts and embosses at the same time. Stampin' Up has had a few of these types of folders, but this is the first one I've owned. Notice the heart in the second card is cut out of the paper and embossed at the same time as the Real Red paper in the first card. They both use stamps from the new Sweet Conversations stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog which is such a fun set. Let's make two cards. First gather your supplies for both: 1. Basic White thick cardstock cut 8 1/2 by 5 1/5" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" and folded in half 2. Real Red cardstock cut 8 1/2 by 5 1/5" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" a...

Amazing Silhouettes plus Simply Marbelous  It's a most wonderful time of the Stampin' Up year--a new Jan-June Mini Catalog AND Sale a Bration time where you can earn free product when you shop.

If you've never bought a Distinctive stamp set you are in for a beautiful surprise--the one stamp does all this lovely shading for you. This is such a simple card but it makes a beautiful statement.
