This is a Sneak Peek at NEW products coming Jan. 5th in the 2023 Spring Mini Catalog!! I'm having a fun time playing with the new Alphabet A La Mode Dies #160750! I used them here to create a special milestone anniversary card! I love the thin, tall design of the alphabets and numbers dies because it allows you to create longer words. This "40" was die cut in Silver Foil, using Adhesive Sheets.

These adorable papers are NEW, too - Country Gingham 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper #160388. You just can't beat CLASSIC GINGHAMS for general appeal!! SO CUTE!!!

A huge HAPPY STAMPIVERSARY to my friend, Peggy Taylor, for 25 years as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!! Peggy (on left) and I roomed together at 12 or more Stampin' Up! events through the years! Thanks for all the GREAT memories Peggy!! Remember when I fell my on face and we spent the evening in the emergency room instead enjoying the theater??

Here is the card I made for Peggy. I love to specialize the card for the specific event!

Happy Dies #152708 and Playful Alphabet Dies #152706!

70 years of marriage MUST be celebrated!! This is the ever-versatile Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set #149252 stamped in Lovely Lipstick, Petal Pink and Old Olive inks.

Before stamping, I laid a sticky note where I planned to place the numbers. This created a mask.

These numbers (retired dies) pop because they are backed with Lovely Lipstick cardstock. The exclamation is the center of the zero die cut. This is going into the mail to special relatives!

Here is a clever idea using Pressed Petal Specialty Washi Tape #149585! I was inspired by Demonstrator, Su Mohr.

Lightly mark the shape of the plain heart punch from Heart Punch Pack of 2 layering hearts #151292. Starting from the TOP of the heart shape, fill in the image by overlapping the self-adhesive Washi Petals. Punch out the completed shape and layer onto a scalloped heart punched from Rose Glimmer Paper #146960. 

These tiny tumbling hearts are punched with the Dog Builder Punch #148543.

I love the simplicity and shimmer of this sweet card!! Use it for Valentine, Birthday, Engagement, Wedding, Anniversary or Baby!

Here is something different using First Frost Stamp Set #148420. The asymmetric design pops with a bit of Granny Apple Green punched with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch #143721.

This one substitutes an edge of ribbon for the punched strip. The images are shimmered with Clear Wink of Stella #141897.

First Frost is such a pretty, versatile stamp set!!

Elegant Silver & Shimmer!! Mini Gable Boxes are SO HANDY: #146961 Lustrous White and #145568 Silver. I carefully opened the side seam of this box using an Exacto Knife. That enabled me to emboss each half of the box with the lovely NEW Tufted DYNAMIC Embossing Folder #146335!! It's a "WOW" with texture!!

I finished off this tufted box with Silver Embossing Powder, Sparkle Glimmer Paper, Silver Foil Paper and 3/8" Silver Metallic-Edged Ribbon. Ready for GIVING! Try it!

This is NOT a black and white photo. These wedding cards are white Vellum and Silver - so lovely! Unfortunately, my photography skills are very limited.

Tip: to attach the vellum, apply Glue Dots on the backside under the hearts so they don't show from the front!

Nine sheets of 12X12 silver embossed vellum - 3 each of 3 designs. Also available in gold.

Wedding season is coming soon so here is a sweet idea! FIRST cut a heart shape using the Hearts Collection Framelits #125599. SECOND, add a texture to the same layer using an embossing folder. THIRD, apply Sticky Strip on the backside around the heart cut out. Fourth, attach Strawberry Slush 3/8" Ruffle Trim #130023 on the backside. Do NOT stretch the trim when applying. Lastly, apply the Whisper White cardstock and stamp "through" the heart shape. Attach flowers and finish.

The Ruffled Stretch Trim is my favorite item and it's sadly retiring. It's only available while quantities last.

I used the Petite Petals BUNDLE #133152 Wood OR #133155 clear.

I am SOOO pleased!! Today I received my daughter's wedding album, my first MY DIGITAL STUDIO book! The cover is glossy, the photos crisp, and pages high quality!! I just couldn't be happier with the printing service from Stampin' Up!! I have created and printed MANY greeting cards with MDS! I love this unique way of creating. It has not replaced my rubber stamping, but it has expanded my options. You can get a FREE 30-day Trial of MY DIGITAL STUDIO by clicking Shop Now on the right.

Isn't this a lovely effect? It's easy...

On the INSIDE of a Designer Cuts card, permanently attach a piece of cardstock vellum over the design. Grab your markers - I chose alots of blues and one green from my Stampin' Up! Many Marvelous Markers. On the inside (which is the BACK of the card front) quickly scribble colors onto the vellum over the cut openings.

NO need to be neat - be quick. Then permanently cover the vellum with Very Vanilla cardstock for a tidy appearance.

The card front will now have a STAINED GLASS look! It's fun to experiment with different color combos!

Now YOU give it a try! Stock up on the Designer Cuts cards and envelopes from the Occasions Mini Catalog which expires April 30th.

Sisters! Katie was Kelly's Maid of Honor. Our lovely AND smart daugthers!

 
This special Very Vanilla on Vanilla creation was my wedding card for our daughter, Kelly and her groom, Chris! I used the lovely Fun Flowers Bigz Die with the Big Shot. A light sponging of Sahara Sand ink highlights all the great details.

 
Using a Bone Folder, I curled the petals slightly upward and used a Vintage Brad in the flower center. Very elegant with Basic Pearls that just press on!

 
My daughter chose CHERRY COBBLER color for her wedding - it's sooo deep and rich! LOVE IT!! I created table cards with glitzy RHINESTONES!

 
For flower embellishments, I used Stampin' Up!'s 5-PETAL PUNCH and BOHO BLOSSOM PUNCH. Curl up the petal tips using a bone folder. So simple!
