Celebrate with Me!

🎈🎉🎈🎉 

June 24, 2010 - That's the day I decided to join Stampin' Up! as a "hobby" demonstrator.  I joined because I was invited to a stamp camp and I fell in love with the people, the products and the coordinating colors. I am still at it, 16 years later!  It's hard to believe that I had NO intentions of making it this far. But to be honest, the people that I met, they are truly life-long friends now. The Stampin' Up! events I've attended led me to even more people to meet, also friends now. 

When I started stamping, I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew that I had fun learning, and trust me when I say, my card making has developed from little ink spots where they shouldn't be and slightly crooked layers on my cards, to more cohesive designs that sometimes I even surprise myself.  I've gone from making one or two cards, to designing 5 different cards for up to 16 people at my stamp camps that I held in Arizona before moving to Missouri.  

Art in any form is what makes me happy.  I love to take walks around the lake at the park near my home, and sometimes I just sit there, letting the sun warm me, watching the geese and ducks.  I find inspiration there and even as I sit on my front porch, listening to the birds, as a far away lawn mower buzzes in the distance. 

Since it's my anniversary month, I am offering some really great bonuses for your order.  Here's the scoop:

  • Place any size order and receive a free gift
  • Place a minimum order of $ 50 before tax & shipping, get the gift above PLUS get a complete set of 2 Stampin' Blends; I choose the color in both Light and Dark shades. These could also be retired colors.
  • Place a minimum order of $ 75 before tax & shipping, get the 2 gifts above PLUS I will add in a pack of 6x6 designer papers. These will be papers from retired packs that I will put together. Each pack will contain at least 40 sheets.
  • Place an order of at least $ 100 before tax & shipping, get the 3 gifts above PLUS I will send you $ 16 in Rewards credits to use on any future order.  
Here's the fine print:
  • Orders must be placed at my online store starting today through June 30.
  • You must have an online account at Stampinup.com in order for me to send you the Rewards credit of $ 16.  If you are unsure how to do that, let me know. It's easy.
  • Anyone can win!  Even if you are a demonstrator, you can still win if you order during the month of June. 
  • All items you win will be shipped within the first 2 weeks of July. Rewards credits will be emailed to you.
I am honored to receive any orders, and I thank you for reading my post today.  I really appreciate your stopping by.  I hope your day is as special as you are!

Kits Are Kool - Painted Skies

 Be still my heart!  I am absolutely in LOVE with this kit.  Painted Skies is right up my alley.  I love anything that has to do with water (I'm a Pisces girl).  Did you know that this kit coordinates with some products in our latest catalog?  The Scenic Coast 6x6 designer paper is gorgeous, and the papers in this kit are very similar.


There is "no stamping" in this kit. There are little sentiment labels that you just attach with the included dimensionals.  I made one birthday card because I wanted to send it to my brother. He is also a water sign, and he misses his time in Florida.






What do you think?  Isn't this kit awesome? We have a lot of kits to choose from that don't require a subscription like our Paper Pumpkin.  If you want to try our kits, just click on the shop button and during the month of June, you can add our Product of the Month to your qualifying order for just $ 5.

Thanks for stopping by today. I appreciate your visit!

Kits Are Kool - Butterfly Garden

 I know it's been a while since I posted, but life gets in the way sometimes and some things have to move to the back burner.  I am back though, and today I'd like to share a really pretty kit called Butterfly Garden.

This kit makes a total of 9 cards; 3 of each design. I always make at least 3 cards the way they were designed.


And I usually make some extras using stamps I have on hand.  I always need birthday cards.




We have so many great kits to choose from.  Each one contains all the supplies you need to make the entire kit, plus you'll usually have left over pieces to create more from supplies you have on hand.

If the card base has a pretty design on the front and the back, you can cut those down and use your own cardstock to make double the amount in the kit!  Such fun.

I'll have more kits soon.  I hope you enjoy my Kits are Kool series.  Until next time, enjoy your day!

Paper Pumpkin - Beyond the Horizon

Today I'd like to share a Paper Pumpkin kit that I recently "discovered" in my stash. I've subscribed to our Paper Pumpkin since the first day it was offered, which was years ago.  It's hard to admit, but sometimes I put the kit away to finish it later, and this kit was really put away for a long time.  It's from March 2022! A friend of mine brought hers over to craft and I said "ooohh... I love this kit".  So, I went looking for it and there it was, in my tub of many others, in date order. At least I was organized that much so I could find it easily.  😀

Here's the kit and I made it exactly like it was intended.  I did use some different sentiments though.


Every March kit comes with TWO stamp sets instead of one.  There's also an ink spot included as well as gems or ribbon or twine. Each kit also includes matching envelopes. Don't you love how these coordinate with the patterns on the card fronts?


The stamp set included a couple of nice birthday sentiments, so I didn't have to look into my stash to find the perfect one for each card. 


This "Celebrate" is perfect for a birthday, work promotion, or other event that needs to be celebrated.

Any time is time to celebrate! 

If you would like to subscribe to my Paper Pumpkin, please click on the link in the side bar. You can stop or hold your monthly shipment at any time and pick it up again when you're ready. 

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you enjoy your day.

Kits Are Kool - Happy Happenings

 Hello and happy Tuesday!

I admit, I have been slow to get things posted again.  I am sorry to report that my husband had 2 more mini strokes, so I've been traveling back and forth to the hospital.  He's now in rehab and hopefully will be home this week. 

Today I'd like to show you a great kit called Happy Happenings.  As I usually do, I made the kit as intended but made most of the cards for birthdays and thank you. I belong to a birthday club, and I send out cards often, so it's nice to always have some on hand.  Thank you cards are used when someone places an order with me and I send a small gift.  





I found this kit to be cheery and fun to make.  I hope you like the cards as much as I do. 

Be sure to check out all our kits; we have many to choose from.  We have stamping and non-stampng kits to choose from and all the supplies are included.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have a great day.  😊
