Wow! It’s been a busy week here for us with all the year end events for Kaitlin. Today was honors day for Seniors so I’m posting this a bit later than I had hoped.
For those of you who are new to stamping or want to possibly pick up some new tips on how to use our products I’ll be doing a Getting Started Video Series. I hope that you will find these Getting Started Videos useful to you.
Whether you are new to stamping or an seasoned pro it never hurt to refresh our memories, right?
So today I’ll be sharing with you the second video in my Getting Started Series –
Getting Started with Stampin’ Scrub:
And if you’ve missed it here is my first video in the series Getting Started with Stampin’ Spritzers.
There is still time to RSVP and join in the fun – call or email me today
Have you found all my Retirement Party Giveaways? There are 4 Retirement Party Giveaways at this time that you can find on my blog, facebook, twitter and YouTube Channel.
Yesterday I shared with you the first party invitations I created for my daughter’s luau themed graduation. Today I’ll share with you the final item I created for her to choose from my luau punch art card.
This card is actually 5″ x 7″ since I couldn’t get it down to the traditional 4 ¼” x 5 ½” like the others from yesterday. But since it was just the front and not a full card I was ok with that too. The My Digital Studio graduation announcements I made with the Embark Graduate Ensemble (click HERE)were post cards that were 5″ x 7″ also.
Want to know which of the four cards I made for her she chose? Drum roll please…… She narrowed it down for me the two cards based on what she liked
Then asked me which one was harder. She is so sweet. In the end we both decided that the punch art card was just too stinking cute! So we went with it. I know called me crazy, right? But this is my baby and the last one to graduate from high school for us. So why not do it up big….and I knew I had a stamping pal who would be game to help me out.
What does mass assembly luau punch art cards look like? Here are a couple of shots of Cindy and me working on parts of the cards – at least the first 40, LOL. We had a great time visiting and punching together!
My daughter later added another 30 for her friends she’d forgot to put on my list. I didn’t get to take a shot of them all together since I’d already mailed the first group but by then it was quick and easy and I had a lot of fun so I found it a great break and creating them rather relaxing. I know crazy – but they are sooo cute!

I love the sentiment in the Language of Friendship stamp set (item 122750/122752) and thought it was perfect sentiment for this card I made recently for my friend’s birthday.
Do you like the filter flower on this card? If you follow my blog you’ve heard me mention before that I love our Stampin’ Spritzer(item 126185) and find them rather addictive, so I thought I would try them with our NEW White Creped Filter Paper (item 129393) from the Spring Catalog.
Since I’ve tried making my first filter flower they’ve become rather an obsession of mine; right now I’m finding that I’ve been adding them to everything – lol.
I’m having so much fun making these filter flowers that I wanted you to be able to join in the fun too! So here is my latest video tutorial – Stampin’ Spritzer Filter Flowers. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Wow, its Friday already – the week has really flown by. Today I’m going to share with you a new video showing you my Oh, Hello Pop ‘n CutsTreat Box that I recently did with the Blue Mountain Stampers during our monthly TEAM meeting.
I love the way this little Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box turned out. It is a quick and easy project since you start with our Card BasePop ‘n Cuts Die (item 130099). And the little box is really good sized so you can get a lot of great chocolate or other goodies into it. Hmm…I’m thinking it may be a great Treat Box for my daughter’s upcoming graduation party. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.
So without further ado…. here is my latest video – Pop ‘n Cuts Treat Box

I fell in love with our Stampin’ Spritzers when they came out last summer. Have you had a chance to use them yet? If not you’ll want to check out this great project today using the By the Tide stamp set (item 129117/129120) from the Spring Catalog that uses our Stampin’ Spritzers.
Stampin’ Spritzer (item 126185) are inexpensive and soo much fun to use! And Stampin’ Spritzers just seemed like a perfect way to create a wonderful background for these water images. Watch my video to see how I created this card.
Although this project uses two of the colors that are currently on our Color Refresh Retirement List (River Rock and Not Quite Navy) there is still time to get yours. (Remember that when colors retired they tend to go quickly so don’t wait too long to place your order.)

Recently I needed a birthday card for a friend and since I was having so much fun playing with the Pop ‘n Cuts Dress Form Die I thought I would make one for her using it.
I really have enjoyed playing with this group of coordinating products. I wasn’t really sure about them in the beginning but have quickly become addicted to “playing dress up” with them. There are so many fun things to do with the Pop ‘n Cuts Dies and Framelits. And of course Stampin’ Up! makes the deal even sweeter since there is the All Dressed Up Bundle (item 131096/131095) that you can buy and save 15% – Add that to the FREE SHIPPING OFFER this weekendand who can resist?
Wonder what was in the little bag I made for her? I wanted to pamper her a bit and knew she would enjoy something homemade so I made some of my yummy foot scrub. You can click HERE to get the recipe for it.
Here are close ups of the card itself-
and the outside –
I hope my friend enjoyed her card because I enjoyed making it for her and I know she’ll enjoy her foot scrub. If you missed my earlier post sharing my original design of this card, you can click HERE. Included in this post was a video showing you how to make these fun and flirty Paper Doily skirts.
I hope you’ll have fun playing dress up with your paper dolls too!

Last week I shared a card that I had created with the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die. Today I am going to share another way to use the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die – this time to make a Pop ‘n Cuts Gift Card Holder.
Isn’t this Pop ‘n Cuts Gift Card Holder cute? I love these little pinwheels and so I wanted to use them with the coordinating sentiment stamp set Wishes Your Way. I thought that the little greeting included in this set would be great for a graduate.
And since I’m currently gearing up for my daughters high school graduation I’ve been focusing on ideas for graduation gifts and cards. Gift card holders are always something I need. How about you? And the Card Base Pop ‘n Cuts Die makes this gift card holder not only cute, but easy too.

Have you seen the NEW Pop ‘n Cuts die in the Spring Catalog? Well if you loved to play dress up when you were little or if you played with paper dolls you’re going to love this group of coordinating products!
Here is a card I made for my Team Meeting using the Pop ‘n Cuts Die (item 130099) and Dress Form (item 130100). I used our Full Heart Punch for the bodice and would you believe I used one of our Paper Doilies (item 129399) to create the skirt? Well I did!
I had such a great time creating this project that I thought I would share how I created this skirt with you too. After a lot of trial an error here is what I finally came up with.
So here is my latest video – The Fun & Flirty Doily Skirt Tutorial
And if you were wondering how I decorated the outside – here is a photo of the outside of the card. Don’t you love the way that the NEW Pop ‘n Cuts die is designed so that it “seals” itself?
