Stack, Cut, Shuffle
This is a very fun technique to use, especially good for using that pretty dsp up. First up, you are going to choose 3 pieces of dsp that go together really well. Cut those layers out at 5 x 3 3/4. Put all 3 layers together and laying them in your trimmer, you are going to make a diagonal cut and then turn all 3 layers and make another diagonal cut. Don't stress on the cuts, each card will be unique. Now take a piece from each layer and then is where the shuffle comes in. You should have a...
Color Challenge to myself
blackberry bliss, lemon lolly, and fresh freesia I wanted to use the color blackberry bliss, so I looked at Stampin Up's color coach. They had paired lemon lolly and fresh freesia with it. Not a combo I would reach for, but I decided to have a go with it. I had Just My Type stamp set out on my desk & decided to had that to my challenge!:) I had stamped the hello out of Just My Type 3 times in all the colors, so I decided to make each color dominant and see what I could come up with. I used...
Layering radiating stitches dies with NEW bundle-timeless arrangements
This card was alot of fun to make. I mainly used all NEW product!!! I started with a card base of berry burst.

Using the timeless arrangements dies we are going to diecut the berry burst sentiment piece and the bubble bath leaf...
Mini Slimline meets Vintage Tools
I love making these mini slimline cards. It makes them stand out just a little without doing much of anything. On this card I embossed using Vintage Tools stamp set. I added some black & white twine around the top and tied in a knot, so we could still maintain that masculine touch. I mounted it all on a merry merlot cardbase and added some gold dots. I made this a birthday card, but you could easily change it out for a Father's Day card or even could work as a Graduation card. I know manly...
Say it isn’t so….Bermuda Bay is retiring…
I am sad... bermuda bay was just a good color that went good with alot of our other stampin' up colors, but I know we have some good colors coming!!! So this card was made as a last hurrah to bermuda. Barb Mullikan made a card on her live that I totally loved, so I took the idea & switched some things up. I used bermuda bay, coastal cabana, starry sky, & daffodil delight. There is so much on this one card that is retiring. The sequins dies are a fun accent and in this case a main focal...
