  Aspen Tree Dies  Sale-a-Bration will be ending in a couple of days, so I thought I'd use some of the products you can still get for FREE. I've used the Silver & Gold Specialty paper (free with a $50 order) and the Aspen Tree Dies (free with a $100 order). I hadn't yet bought the Aspen tree dies, but I'd been looking at them since the July-December Mini Catalog came out, so I was so excited to get them free recently. You should too, and quickly, as Sale-a-Bration ends on August 31st!  I just love that you can use the Silver & Gold paper as is, emboss on it or color it like I did today. I feel it will be great for holiday cards too.  Let's make this card. First, gather your supplies.     1. Gray Granite--Card base 5 1/2 by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" and folded in half along the score line. Another piece 5 3/8 by 4 1/8" 2. Silver & Gold 6 x 6" Specialty Paper--cut 4 by 5 1/4" 3. Basic White Cardstock for the inside 4

  More Wonderful World Step Cards Hopefully you saw my post from yesterday that went through step by step how to make these cards from the Wonderful World Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper. If not, you might want to go back and look at it. Also go to my Facebook Live at Stamp with Dr Robin to watch how it is done--grab your Stampin' Up trimmer and a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock that is 5 1/2 by 8 1/2" and play along with me. Today I thought you'd like to see some of the other cards I made using the same DSP. This first one uses the same Pastel Pearls I used yesterday, this time in pink. This time I used 2022-24 In Color Matte Decorative Dots, the 2022-24 Baker's Twine and a retired doily: For the next 2 I decided to make some all-white cards. I love these for wedding cards and sympathy cards, but you could use them for anything. For the first one I embossed the center square using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and for the side and bottom piece I us

  Wonderful World Step Card If you haven't seen the Wonderful World Sale-a-Bration stamp set and Designer Series Paper, you are in for a big wow! The paper is beyond beautiful--the only problem is that you can't just order more paper as the DSP comes together with the Wonderful World stamp set and can only be earned until the end of August by making a $100 order. It is so fun to combine different papers to make the new (to me anyways) step card. I highly suggest you  go over to my Facebook Live from 8/21 or my YouTube channel (both are Stamp with Dr Robin) and craft along with me as it will be difficult for me to describe how to make this fancy fold. Let's make this card. First, gather your supplies.     1. Thick Basic White--Card base 5 1/2 by 8 1/2"  2. Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (DSP FREE with $100 order during Sale a Bration and you get the stamp set also)--purple ones are two cut 3/4 by 3" and one cut 3/4 by 5 1/4". Little flowers are cut 3 1/

Soft Seedlings Fun Fold If you are like me, the Soft Seedlings stamp set in the July-Dec Mini Catalog was not the first set you noticed when you looked through the catalog. But I kept coming back to look at it when I noticed the beautiful sayings and that it is a Distinctive stamp and then saw some gorgeous cards that others were making, I decided to go ahead and buy it, and I keep thinking of beautiful ways to use it. I send a lot of "thinking of you" cards as I find they work for many different reasons to send a card--sympathy, get well, truly just thinking of someone, and even birthday cards. And there are other nice sentiments in the stamp set also, and all for only $20!  Let's make this fun fall card. First, gather your supplies. 1. Cajun Craze cardstock--Card base 7 1/4 by 5 1/2" scored at 3". Another piece 4 1/2" by 4 1/2" scored at 1" 2. Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper (DSP)--Crushed Curry piece is 2 3/4 by 5 1/4" and the Cajun C

Kindest Gnomes meet Hello Harvest Anyone out there crazy about gnomes? I think they are so adorable and especially the Kindest Gnome ones as they are 4 different gnomes in different positions and even a female gnome! And an adorable gnome mushroom house. This gnomes is sitting and looks to me like he's either thinking hard or has a headache! The gnomes pair very well with the Rings of Love paper that is FREE until the end of August (while supplies last) with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration. AND the Gnomes dies cut out the gnomes and mushrooms in the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper. So much fun to play with, so I decided to make my class this week around the gnomes and the Rings of Love paper. If you'd like to do this class at home and receive everything you need to make 4 gnome cards (including this one) email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. Let's make this card. First, gather your supplies.     1. Crushed Curry Cardstock--Card base 5 1/2 by 8 1/2" scored
