The excitement is building for all the new products that are coming our way, starting with a very limited edition suite that will only be available during May, and only while stocks last. More about that later. Meanwhile I'm continuing to sort through my retiring products and giving them one last outing. Today it's the turn of the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder, along with quite a few other retiring items. CABLE KNIT EMBOSSING FOLDER I love the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured ... VIEW POST
Sweet Baby & Onesie Tip
The other day I made a really simple congratulations card using the Sweet Baby Stamp Set. It was actually one of two cards I made during that session. This second card is a little more elaborate but I have a tip for adding the cute patterned onesie. FIRST THINGS FIRST To start my project I cut and scored a piece of Powder Pink Card using my Stampin' Trimmer. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder to create the card base. Using ... VIEW POST
Double-inked embossing technique
I'm always looking for ways to showcase great Stampin' Up! products that might otherwise be overlooked. The Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is one such item.

Today is Monday and that means it's time for another What Will You Stamp? Challenge. This week the challenge is WWYS181 Lilypad Lake, ... VIEW POST
All bundled up
A few days ago I created a cute baby card to showcase two new Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folders from Stampin' Up! called Tufted and Subtle. I mentioned that there were coordinating dies available for the Sweet Baby Stamp Set and for today's Watch on Wednesday project I decided to use the stamps and dies bundle to create a gift tag and bonus card. As promised in the video, here's the details: To create the It's a Girl! gift tag I used 1/4" sheet of Very Vanilla Card and a ... VIEW POST
Sweet baby card
I'm a sucker for a cute baby stamp set and as soon as I saw the Sweet Baby Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! I knew I'd have to get it. Today is my first time inking it up and my project features two amazing new embossing folders too. Even if you don't have a use for baby-themed projects right now, do check out these new embossing folders, I think you'll be seeing a lot of them in the weeks and months to come. My project all started with the baby image from the Sweet Baby Stamp Set. I ... VIEW POST
