Now Offering 2023 Color Coach Kits

The 2023 Annual Catalog has launched and I’ve already shared that there will be a Color Refresh with you so I thought I’d tell you about this new kit I’ve put together to get you started creating with the new colors.

I love being able to reach for my Color Coach again to help me get inspiration. What’s a Color Coach? It’s a tool I use to help me choose the color combinations for a project. And am thrilled that Stampin’ Up! has offered us a digital format for creating them. Here is the one I’ve put together with some additions to what they’ve already given us.

This kit can also be used to create a book if you wanted to instead. You can simply place your order with me for the Memories & More 6×8 Albums (163883) and some refill pages (144205) to add to the kit.

Greatest Journey Adventure Card Tutorial

Life is a great adventure – and the Greatest Journey stamp set (highlights some of the things that make it such a great one. While the set includes some wonderful sentiments the die set gives us some wonderful images to go along with them and since it is part of a Suite there is a lot of coordination that makes creating easy too.

Today’s project is a quick and easy one with a simple stamping off technique.

I love way this simple technique creates the look of depth using the pine tree image for the background on this sentiment panel.

Here is a video tutorial for you along with a PDF that you can print off with a complete supply list.
