You Are Amazing

This week I'll be featuring projects with some of our retiring Designer Series Papers. Today's project uses the Garden Impressions stack, which is just gorgeous! I love the color combinations in this paper! The card I am sharing with you today is a CASE from our demonstrator magazine, Stampin' Success. I changed out a few of the products, but stuck pretty close to the original design.


There are a number of other retiring products on this card as well - both stamp sets, the little flower punch, the ribbon - you can see the full list of supplies below. A few things are starting to sell out, so make sure you check out the last chance products today and get what you want before it's gone!


Stamps: All Things Thanks, Bloom by Bloom
Ink: So Saffron, Night of Navy
Paper: So Saffron, Whisper White, Garden Impressions DSP
Embellishments: Pearlized Doilies, Calypso Coral Ombre Ribbon, Pearls
Tools: Everyday Label Punch, Bitty Blooms Punch Pack
Adhesives: SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots


Happy Stamping!

#GDP186: You Jumpstart My Heart

The Geared Up Garage Bundle is not one that was at the top of my wish list. I challenged myself to create a class with it (coming soon!), and to use it in a Facebook Live. I needed some inspiration, so I used this week's sketch over at Global Design Project.



I think it turned out pretty well! I used all products from the suite, with the exception of the stitched heart - that is cut with the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.




If you are popping over from the Facebook Live for the measurements, here they are!
*Basic Gray card base - 4 1/4 x 11"
*Real Red - 5 1/8 x 3 7/8"
*DSP (cars) - 5 x 3 3/4"
*DSP (red) - 3 x 3"
*Whisper White - 2 x 2"
*Smoky Slate - 1 x 3", trimmed with the Triple Banner Punch


This bundle is carrying over to the new Annual Catalog, but will no longer be available at a 10% off bundle price, so make sure you buy it now at a discount!


Stamps: Geared Up Garage
Ink: Smoky Slate, Memento Black
Paper: Basic Gray, Real Red, Whisper White, Classic Garage DSP
Embellishments: Classic Garage Metal Elements, Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon
Tools: Be Mine Stitched Framelits, Big Shot, Triple Banner Punch
Adhesives: SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots


Happy Stamping!

My Top 10 Retiring Products

The time has come to say goodbye to some of our favorite products. It can be hard to see those things you really like on the retiring list, but the longer I've been a demonstrator, the less I've cared about what's going. Give me all the new stuff! That said, I thought I would share my top 10 with you. Make sure you grab these things before they're gone! Stamp sets are guaranteed through May 24. Everything else is while supplies last.


#1: Thoughtful Banners stamp set


#2: Large Letters Framelits


#3: Up & Away Thinlits


#4: Big Shot


#5: Happy Birthday, Gorgeous stamp set


#6: Wood Textures DSP


#7: Soft Sayings Card Kit


#8: Garden Impressions DSP


#9: Share What You Love Specialty DSP


#10: Flowering Desert stamp set
Watch for some highlights of these products in the next few weeks! Which retiring products will you miss the most? Leave me a comment and let me know!


Happy Stamping!

Happiness Blooms Class to Go

Oh, I guess I have to apologize for my lack of blogging recently. Did you know life with four kids gets busy sometimes? Haha! We also had company most of March, and it is taking me awhile to get back into the routine. But - today I have a treat for you! This class to go is quick and easy, and you get 20 cards out of it! Plus - no stamping required! This is the kind of class that is perfect for busy people, which is all of us, am I right?




For $35, you will receive the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack, the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes, Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine, and Corrugated Elements.


I will also send you a PDF tutorial with the instructions to make 20 cards, and then you'll even have some extra supplies left over for your own projects and designs. 20 cards for $35? No way can you buy cards like this for that price at the store!


If you are interested in this class, you can fill out this Google form and let me know. There is also a tutorial only option available for $10. The deadline to register is April 19, and kits will ship no later than April 26. If you have any questions, please let me know.


Happy Stamping!
