The Stampin' Up! Happier Than Happy Bundle is so darn cute, but I have to admit that I only recently added it to my stash! I was sure that I didn't need it, but I've been seeing so many adorable cards. Yep, bought it! Check out this fun card I made to welcome a new member to my Team of Ink and Paper Stampers.
I’m so excited to be featured in the the International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci.

During a recent Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp, I challenge everyone to make a card inspired by a picture of a Mince Tart. I had no idea what cards everyone would create. It was so much fun to see how everyone was inspired by the picture in different ways. Have you ever looked at a picture or saw something when you were out and about that you have used as an inspiration for?
Welcome to the Trip Achievers Blog Hop. I am so honoured to be participating in this Blog Hop and I am so thankful for the support I received from my Customers and Team Members so that I could achieve this trip**! Thank you so much! We're off on a cruise to the Norwegian Fjords in May 2023!

I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share. We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper. Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month. I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!
I received a card during Stampin' Up! BackStage that I thought was such a great idea and a great way to use Designer Series Paper that we all have! Unfortunately there was no name on the card, only "Stack, Cut and Shuffle". If this was your card, please let me know. I'd love to give you credit!
I taught this technique on a recent Zoom class and everyone loved it! Here's the cards I made using the Lovely in Linen Designer Series Paper. So quick and easy to make 4 cards!

The Stampin' Up! Fond of Autumn Bundle is amazing! It doesn't have to be just for Autumn cards but my card today definitely has that Autumn feeling! Did you know that there is a die that will cut the large image from the Stamp Set into 4 pieces! That's what I used on my card that combines colouring and Paper Piecing!
I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for November. I created this pretty shaker card featuring Stampin' Up! A Wish & A Fish Bundle. I love shaker cards and love how this one turned out! What do you think!
I shared a card recently using the Lighthouse Point Bundle and commented on how much I love light houses. Living on the West Coast I'm always intrigued by the story of light house keepers and fascinated to read about life at a Lighthouse. Of course, today all of our lighthouses are automated so there isn't anyone living there.
Check out this fun "peekaboo" card I created using the bundle. I love how this turned out in Night of Navy and Gray Granite.
