This month I created six alternatives and shared some fun techniques that are super easy and can be used to add dimension to any project.
Even though this kit is a smaller size card, you get twelve cards and matching envelopes and I show how you can use the envelope fronts to make twelve more cards!
The size converts very easily to A2 size or 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" which is my preferred...
We planned a four month stay in Arizona to see if we would like to live there part time. We stayed in four different areas for a month or longer to get a good feel for each location. Verde Valley (Cottonwood), Congress (Wickenburg), Sierra Vista and Prescott Valley. The weather was not the best, it was quite cold and we enjoyed (not!) two snow storms. The temperatures were very cold at night,...
I finally took a chance and set my Paper Pumpkin shipping address to the closest post office instead of going to my mail forwarder. I find that the new forward service manager is not very prompt at forwarding, and often she doesn't retain the tracking information which means I have to guess when it is time to drive the 15 to 20 minutes to the post office.
Plus, we are in Arizona, which...
Before mailing out my Easter and Spring cards I took pictures of them all and made a quick Carousel video. Video length 1 min 39 sec.
All stamps, embossing folders, solid cardstock and dies used listed below will be carrying over to the next annual catalog! Patterend designers series papers will not carry over.
I've linked related detailed articles.
I cannot believe it is spring already and time for another Kre8tors blog hop! Things have been a bit crazy as we just finished two months in one location and moved on the first. Moving is generally not a big deal for us, but I admit after a record long two months in one location, packing up and then settling in to the new location was more work than I thought it would be. We are in the middle...

If you are starting the hop on my...

While enjoying a virtual mini retreat with my team leader and crafting buddy Libby, I asked if we could work on a set of three beginning stamper cards per a pinterest pin I'd found. Here...

I had so much fun with this Month's Paper Pumpkin! I am always short on birthday cards and will be using this kit to build a surplus. Video length 29:37
If you do not have a demonstrator or are looking for a change, I would love to have the honor. I am an active YouTuber and blogger, here are some other Stampin' Up! web activities I have for you to check out:
Today I have posted a video showing details of a coloring project. It explores two color tone options for this cute squirrel. The video goes through various aspects of the project and how to color its envelope using Blends (the secret is to flick lightly).
It is important to take the credit for your creations, there are cute options to do this and it is a Stampin' Up! requirement to...
