Darling Details for Christmas! OK, maybe I'm a little too obsessed with the Darling Details set, but last week when I did the Fresh Freesia card, I used this stamp that looked like a pine bough to me. And then I wondered if I could use that same stamp to make a wreath. And guess what, with a little practice, it came out perfect and a Christmas in July card came to life! I realize that Pretty Peacock and Bubble Bath are not your usual Christmas card colors, but I just love them together and love this card. Part if the reason I am obsessed with this bundle is that I am having a class soon that features it. If you are in or near San Diego, you can take it in person, or feel free to order it for an in home class.  Dates for Darling Details in person class : Either 8/18 at 10 am or 8/20 at 1:00 pm at my house Class choices:      Option 1: Includes 4 cards and envelopes, Darling Details stamp set and dies, 1/2 package of Bright & Beautiful DSP, 1/2 package of Opaque Ovals Embellishme

Feminine Trucking Along Card Trucking Along is a brand new bundle from Stampin' Up. You can find it on the web site if you click on "Shop Products" then scroll down to "Online Exclusives". You will find many other online exclusives there that aren't in any catalog, from stamp sets, to kits and even past Paper Pumpkin kits (and add-ons) if you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. Go check it out!  For now, I am having such fun playing with the Trucking Along stamp set and builder punch. When we see a truck set, we usually think of masculine cards, but I'm here to day to show you that it can make a wonderful feminine card also. It has many little stamps that you can use to put something in the back of the truck, including a tree that you can make a great Christmas card. There are also sentiments for Christmas and all purpose ones, like the one we are using today--you can use this as a birthday card, or, as I plan to, a get well card.  Let's make this card!

One Horse Open Sleigh Card We have a lot of wonderful things starting 7/6/23 over on Stampin' Up. First up is everyone can now buy several new products that are On-Line Exclusives, including this lovely 6" by 6"  Designer Series Paper called One Horse Open Sleigh. It is made to go with a new horse and sleigh stamp set, but as you can see, it is beautiful on its own. It has lovely wintery scenes on one side and nice small images on the other side. Perfect for holiday cards, but also great for other types of cards. Today I decided to make it in to a birthday card that you can use for a male or female birthday.  Another thing that starts 7/6 is we get a Clearance Rack refresh so check it out for some amazing deals. Last, but not least is Bonus Days--for every $50 you spend for the rest of July, you get a $5 coupon to use in August. Yay! Free stamping products!  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies  1.
