I know the By the Tide set is retired but I hope that you will still be interested in this card. Maybe you too own the set and are not ready to let it go. I don't (at least not yet!) have many manly type stamp sets and still really like By the Tide. I…
We haven't talked about My Paper Pumpkin very much. I have been a subscriber to this monthly paper crafting kit from Stampin' Up! from the very first month. It has been so fun watching it grow and improve. I love that everything is cut and scored and ready to put together. Every month you…
I am patiently waiting for my first order from the new catalog to arrive. Okay, maybe not so patiently. In the meantime I am really enjoying the Swirly Bird stamp set, Swirly Scribbles thinlits and the Pop of Pink Specialty DSP. The Pop of Pink DSP has 2 designs that feature gold foil. This pack…
It is Thursday so it is time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. I love this week's sketch! I enjoyed this sketch so much that I made 2 cards for it. Look for the second card this weekend. I am crazy about the new Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper. This bold…
Today is the first day of the 2016-17 Stampin' Up! catalog. Oh, Happy Day indeed! This stamp set Swirly Bird was part of a catalog pre-order available to SU! demonstrators. Lots of fun images in this set and it has a coordinating framelit called Swirly Scribbles. You can purchase them together as a bundle and save…

The Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #273 has a sketch and an optional theme and this week I incorporated both. Optional theme: Butterflies Product List Acorny Thank You Photopolymer Stamp Set…
I separated out my current stamp sets from those retiring and my stamp shelf definitely looks a little bare. One positive is I am now very aware of sets that did not get enough use and can remedy that situation while I wait to order some new sets. Garden in Bloom is one such set. …
It is time for another Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge. This color combination is so light and airy very Spring like. Remember a couple of weeks ago I was moaning about the all neutral color combination? I was so happy to see this all pastel color challenge. I used the Flower Shop…
I didn't play with this suite of products nearly enough. I have been working on Father's Day projects and this set is perfect for that. Isn't it great to have silver glittery lucky stars? Instead of using the Going Places DSP stack I used the Typeset DSP. I lightly brushed the Craft White ink…
My copy of the catalog is full of post it note flags. These flags mark all the samples I want to recreate. I marked the Six-Sided Sampler card on page 105 and I finally get to remove the flag. The Six Sided Sampler and Hexagon punch will be retiring in just a few days, so…
