Easter Cross

Sunday, April 6, 2025

While I was making the Easter Card that I showed you in my last blog post, I decide to create one for my Tuesday Stampers

I wanted to use the same cross embossing folder and decided to emboss it right onto some designer paper. I used a piece from COUNTRY LACE.

I pulled out a retired three corner punch for all 4 corners then added the same Gorgeous Grape flowers from FLOWERS OF BEAUTY that I used for the last card.

I added a little crumb cake sponging just on the embossed cross, and added the dove from REJOICE IN HIM to the center of the cross and one small leaf from the leaf "ribbon"

Want in on a good deal from me?
I recently returned from North Carolina where I (plus 3 of my team members) attended the OnStage yearly Stampin' Up! event.

It was encouraging and challenging all at the same time
We learned about some changes that Stampin' Up! is making 

The challenge that I came away with for myself is to reach my $300,000 in sales by the end of September. 
If I do I will get to walk the stage and be recognized for this accomplishment at the 2026 OnStage event in Long Beach, CA (not that I really like walking the stage, but it really is an accomplishment)

What does this mean for you, and why am I telling you this?
I will need to increase my sales each month and that is where you come in
I am asking you to place your orders with me, and in return I will offer you thelisted price of all products. 

If you place your order (after April 15th) online you will start receiving a 10% reward on all orders $20 or more, that you can claim on your next order (this all starts April 15th) - therefore, I cannot offer the catalog price. BUT... if you order with me directly I am able to offer you this discount. (I have no control over the online orders) 

BUT... I will reward your order according to the amount you order with a product that I will ship to you. (an embellishment, ribbon, etc.) I cannot list what it will be because of the fact that items go on the unorderable list, etc.

For example... If you place an online order of $75.00 I will send you a product valued at $7.50

If you order directly from me I can issue you the discount immediately.

ALL ORDERS will help me achieve this goal

This is how the new rewards program will work:
You can accumulate your rewards for a full 12 months and then you will have some extra "cash" to buy more product!!
Whatever rewards you earn on your purchase can also be redeemed on your next order, you do not need to accumulate!

I still ask that you will please choose me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator as this will still help out my small business

Thank you so very much!

It's All About The CROSS

Thursday, April 3, 2025

I made a cool Easter card for a customer that placed an online order (check out my ordering special below)

The size is larger than normal and I used a non-Stampin' Up! embossing folder for the cross. (6-1/4" x 4-3/4)

My stampers love the faith based cards and Easter is ALL ABOUT what JESUS did for us on the cross.

I pulled out some retired leaf "ribbon" and cut out some Gorgeous Grape flowers from FLOWERS OF BEAUTY Dies, and I added some of the LOW PROFILE DOTS (Petal Pink color) for the center of the flowers. I love these dots because they don't add bulk to your card causing more postage.

The dove is from the retired REJOICE IN HIM

How I created the background: On a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock I first inked up the front of the TIMBER embossing folder with Crumb Cake ink, then ran it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Next I added some Early Espresso lines using my Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker at 1-1/4" intervals. (your grid paper is perfect for lining this us using a ruler). Then I added a little bit more Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush.
The Cross was embossed on a piece of Basic White, sponged with Crumb Cake then cut out. It is popped up on the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Wild Flower Designs

Wednesday, April 2, 2025

This is a fun fold card that you can make with any of your beautiful designer papers that you have on hand

But this WILDLY FLOWERING Designer Paper is a part of the SUITE and the WILDFLOWER DESIGNS Bundle is also a part of it


The card on the left in the green tones is from a retired stash and the card on the right is from the current WILDLY FLOWERING 

My Tuesday stampers will be able to choose which color that they like best

I decided to emboss the front piece after stamping and I used the TIMBER 3D Embossing Folder. I used the retired 2023-2025 In Color Dots and I added an extra piece of white on the hinge to hide it then pulled out some scripture verse stamps I keep hand for my Tuesday stampers. It's exactly what they like best and so do I.

I was inspired by Michelle Litwiller who was on her last leg of earning her 1 million in sales
Guess what? she sure enough did earn it! I saw her walk the stage at the OnStage event in North Carolina in March.
You can see her video for this card HERE

Wishing You a Happy Birthday

This card features the Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Paper and the Delightful Wishes Bundle

I must admit that this suite has been one of my favorites because I just love the color scheme 

In fact, my wedding color theme was yellow, and I am still really drawn to that color.

I saw this card featured on my friend Stephanie Flath's blog post but it was designed and created by Georgianne Everhart. (no blog post to link you to) Therefore I will share that I cut the pieces of the designer vellum at 4" x 1-1/4". 

I stamped the "wishing" onto white card stock using Black ink, then die cut out.

The second sentiment is stamped in Balmy Blue, leaves in Mossy Meadow, and the flowers in Daffodil Delight & Crushed Curry.

I hope my Tuesday Stampers enjoy this card as much as I do! Actually this is a great layout - and I can't wait to use it with some of our other great designer papers.
