On the Horizon

Featured here is one of the cards we made at my 20th Anniversary Celebration earlier this month. The New Horizons Suite (157782) is one of my favorites from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog! This card was "cased" from the calatog...I took two samples from the catalog to create this project. We all need inspiration for our cards and look no further than our amazing catalogs full of ideas!

The Suite Collection is easy one-stop shopping with all the products included in one item number for your convenience. The stamp set and dies are included as a bundle with a 10% savings! This card used all of the products: On The Horizon Bundle, Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack in Misty Moonlight and Petal Pink, Pebbles Enamel Shapes, and my absolute favorite...New Horizons Designer Series Paper. (Be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see the links of supplies used for this project.)

I am so grateful to those who came in person or virtually to celebrate my 20 years as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! Looking forward to more classes at JJ Twigs and also online in the future. I'm so thankful for all of my stampin' friends...customers and fellow demonstrators for their support!

Make a Difference Day!

So very proud of these young ladies...Ashlyn and Katrina!  This Little Miss organized an amazing event for our community on Make a Difference Day just a couple of weeks ago.  Lots of family fun with crafts, making scarfs to donate, and of course...hand-made birthday cards!   We helped with Miss Katrina's Call to Care initiative by crafting birthday cards for homeless & foster children.

I'm always looking for ways to Craft for a Cause and give back to our communities.  Next up is World Kindness Day on Saturday, November 13, 2021.  The purpose of World Kindness Day as outlined by the World Kindness Movement is “to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us.” It is a day devoted to the positive potential of both large and small acts of kindness.  

Please join me this year in donating to Cards for Kindness by Scrapbook.com  

Hand-made cards are needed for this initiative "to get handmade cards to people who are in need of an emotional boost, a smile, or a helping hand".  Thinking of You, Happy Hello, and general non-specific sentiment are the greatest cards in need.  Feel free to drop off your cards to me or send your own!  

Find more info here: Scrapbook.com Cards for Kindness

How to "Mount" your Cling Stamps

With today being the once-a-year, one-day-only sale on stamps, I thought you'd like to see an alternate way to adhere those labels to your CLING STAMPS.  I've had much better luck "mounting" my cling stamps this way vs. following the directions that come with the stamps...

less air bubbles and higher success in getting them straight!

It is much easier to watch the how-to rather than read the step-by-step directions, so please watch my Facebook LIVE video from last night.

Textures & Frames are FUN!

Made this fun and bright card using the Sale-a-Bration Textures & Frames stamp set along with one of my favs Biggest Wish.  You can get this versatile stamp set for FREE with a qualifying $50 purchase, but just until the end of September!  And be sure to scroll down to see how I STEPPED IT UP!

Watch how I made this card during my Facebook LIVE video from Tuesday.

Check out a similar card made by one of my Stampin' Friends Susan.  This was the inspiration for my birthday card above.

Step it up to a casual and avid crafter card!

 To step up these cards I added some Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and some more colored cardstock.  What I love about the three colors I used is that you get three additional colors on your card when you layer the circles...basic color theory at work!  Polished Pink, Mango Melody, and Coastal Cabana are bright and fun for these birthday cards! For the Avid Crafter Card I popped up the BIRTHDAY using a Tailored Made Tags Die and added some white twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack.  And OMG!  These Cute Stars Adhesive -Backed Sequins from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog add just the right touch and they're nice and flat for mailing!
