Country Living....

 This card was inspired by another talented artist.  I wanted to share it with you before the Country Living stamp set retires on June 3.  I thought this was a great card for the man in your life or even a teenage boy.  Stamping on the Wood Textures 6x6 papers creates a woodgrain guitar easily.

Products Used in this Project:

  • Stamps - Country Living, Blow Out the Candles, Perennial Birthday, Woodgrain & Timeless Textures
  • Card Stock - Blueberry Bushel, Basic Black, Soft Suede, Whisper White & Wood Textures 6x6
  • Inks - Early Espresso, Blueberry Bushel, Mint Macaron, Balmy Blue
  • Dies - Delicate Lace Edgelits
  • Other - Linen Thread & 3/8 " Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon

Creating a Spinner Card....

 I saw this cute spinner card that another demonstrator posted on the Facebook Demonstrator Planning Place group but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I love revisiting old techniques and card types, don't you?  Here, I made a spinning wheel card which spins around to show "celebrate", a cupcake, "enjoy!" and a party hat.  Check out my video to see how easy it is to make this card.

  • Around the Corner stamp set (corners & hat)
  • Blow Out the Candles stamp set (cake)

What's in the Box? A Look at Some of Stampin' Up!'s Products from the Upcoming 2019-2020 Annual Catalog

Are you looking forward to the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog as much as I am?  Having attended the OnStage event, I was able to get a copy of it and it is awesome!  The best part of attending OnStage (with exception to seeing my friends from all over the country) is the ability to get the catalog early and see the cool products that are coming in June.  The second thing about attending OnStage is getting to order some of those products right away and today I am sharing them with you.  The video is a bit long but I wanted to show you all the cool things that I ordered and give you a sneak peek at what is on its' way.


You won't be able to order these products until June 4 but visit my Online Store here to order any of the retiring items including the 2017-2019 In Colors.
