  Cards That Show Off Both Sides of Your DSP Stampin' Up has some of the most beautiful paper in the world. Sometimes I don't want to use it because I can only let one side of the Designer Series Paper (DSP) show on my cards at a time. But this card, and the one I will upload tomorrow, show off BOTH sides of the Fitting Florets DSP that is on sale to customers starting tomorrow 11/1/22. The Fitting Florets stamp set and dies will be in the next mini catalog so this is a early release, but the DSP, as well as the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirl embellishments and the coordinating Christmas stamp set, Framed and Festive, are only while supplies last, so don't wait to order. I plan to order another package of this DSP as soon as I can tomorrow.  If you are a visual learner, you might want to watch my Facebook Live linked below, or watch on my YouTube channel, Stamp with Dr Robin. Let's make a card! Gather your supplies: 1. Balmy Blue cardstock--Card base is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2"

Framed Florets Birthday Card So today is my favorite (and only) daughter's birthday, so I was in the mood to make a birthday card. I was also in the mood to break out my newest bundle, Framed Florets. If this bundle doesn't look familiar to you, it is because it will be in the upcoming Jan-June 2023 Mini Catalog. You can order it today as a demonstrator, or on a new demonstrator order, or you can wait until November 1st and order it yourself.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w

Starry Sky Birthday Wreath I know I've been using the Cottage Wreath bundle a lot lately, but it is just so versatile that I can't put it down. Today I decided to make a birthday card with it and use the In Color Starry Sky as I haven't really used that color much so far, and boy does the color make a statement! I paired it with the In Color 6 by 6" Designer Series Paper as well as the Glimmer paper for a monochromatic look.  If you need help with making this card, please watch my Facebook Live below or watch on my YouTube channel (at Stamp with Dr Robin) and don't forget to subscribe.

Warm Welcome to Cottage Wreaths Hopefully most of you know that Saturday October 1st was World Card Making Day (WCMD) and that Stampin' Up was having a free on-line card making event. If you missed it, you can still watch it here:https://events.stampinup.com/worldcardmakingday/home. At the top of the event page you will see the card that inspired this card. I love the way they used the solid door die to create panels so that this whole card could become a door itself! It took me a bit to figure out how they made those panels, but I will let you in on the secret in this post. We used both the Cottage Wreaths and the Warm Welcome bundles during the WCMD event so I also liked that I could combine them into one card. For WCMD I was also asked to be a presenter on a world-wide on-line event organized by The Crafty Medic. I was asked to share my Judaism and made a Rosh Hashanah card using the Apple Harvest stamp set. You can see everyone's videos and cards here: https://www.facebook.
