Welcome to the Stampin' Dreams blog hop! The theme this month is Birthday. I have been diligent at sending family and friends birthday cards so I always need birthday inspiration. The Stampin' Dreams team of demonstrators is the perfect place to be inspired and I cannot wait to hop around and see everyone's creations.
I have four birthday cards to send in February so I am glad this is...
I am so excited to be hopping with the Colour Combo Stampin' Up! demonstrator crew today. This team is so talented that they always push me to make something extra special.
This month's colors are perfect flower colors so I've been working on a coloring technique for making the Lasting Lily stamp set really pop. Lasting Lily is a free Sale-A-Bration item that you get with a $100 order....
Today is the Kre8tors blog hop. Our theme is Valentine and I am so excited to share my creation because I created a 3D project which is a rare thing. This group is so creative that they really stretch my imagination each month. I hope when you hop around you will be inspired too!
Given the very small space I live in I am restricted on what I can make and how large it can be. This...

I finished all of my Valentine's Day Cards using January 2019 Paper Pumpkin. Here is a very short video showing all of them. Video Length 1 min 31 sec.
For my cousin's birthday, I made a fun card with bright colors using Swirly Frames from the annual catalog and Amazing Life from the new Occasions catalog. I chose fun masculine colors: Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green with black for the card base. The case was fussy cut and popped up with dimensionals. I did not add any embellishments and think it came out perfect!
This is a sneak peek of a technique I have been working on. I have created a video tutorial that will be going live on February 13th.
I love aged, distressed projects and it has been a very long time since I've even attempted to make a paper project aged. In fact, after I lost all of my craft supplies and replenished with Stampin' Up! supplies, it just hadn't crossed my mind. Everyone...

The new Occasions catalog has a stamp set that is near and dear to my heart. Horses! Yes, for most of my life I have owned and showed horses in just about every event.
Not so many years back, I sold my show horse, intending to look for another young show prospect, however less than a year after I sold him, I suffered a majore spine injury.
Three surgeries later I decided to sell...
I was thrilled to receive my Occasions haul in January. As I sat down for my weekend of crafting, the very first card I made was a Valentine. I used the Be Mine Stitched Thinlit Dies with three colors of cardstock: Lovely Lipstick, Berry Burst and Rich Razzleberry.
I had a chunk of white Wood Texture DSP floating around my desk that I had not used on a previous project so I started...
