There’s something magical about diving into the world of Stampin’ Up!. It’s not just about the amazing products or the chance to tap into your creative side. It’s about finding your people, your support system, and your crafting family.
What if joining Stampin’ Up! wasn’t just about stamps and ink… but about discovering where you truly belong?
This month, we have two incredible join specials that are worth every bit of attention (This or That).
But there’s something more I want to share with you—something that goes beyond just the specials.
It’s the community you become a part of when you join through me.
You see, you’re not just getting a great deal; you’re stepping into a supportive network where you’ll never craft alone.
Picture this: access to three vibrant Stampin’ communities filled with creativity, virtual events, tutorials, and friendships that make every project a joy.
It’s not just crafting (though we do a lot of that). It’s about cheering each other on, sharing tips, and being there when someone’s stuck. It’s about sending surprise happy mail just because. This community truly feels like family, and every new team member becomes a new friend.
So, if you’ve been wondering whether now is the right time to join, let’s chat. I’ll help you pick the best special for you (This or That). More importantly, let’s get you connected with a community that celebrates your wins, big or small, and believes in your potential. Your people are waiting to welcome you with open arms.
Whether you’re just here for the discount or ready to explore something bigger, there’s a spot for you at our table.
I can’t wait for you to join and see all the incredible experiences that await.
There are lots of different Advent Calendars out there.
Most of them include chocolates or teas, things that are nice, but
I was excited to get one with craft supplies this year!

You'll be surprised and delighted because it holds the crafty fun you love!
Or, if you're like me, you can open one each day for 12 days as soon as it arrives!
Each of the 12 compartments contains never-before-seen dies, 6x6 paper, embellishments, and even more items you won’t find in any Stampin' Up! catalogs or the online store!

Today, I’m peeling back the layers and sharing something close to my heart. This post is for anyone who feels pulled in every direction, like you're spinning plates and hoping none fall and shatter. I see you, and I’m with you.
By day, I design homes—breathing life into spaces and imagining the possibilities within four walls. It’s a job that often feels more like a calling than work. I’m grateful every day for that. But even in my creative profession, stress sneaks in, like that surprise rain during a sunny day.
Deadlines loom, expectations mount, and suddenly, my creativity feels like it's encased in a pressure cooker. Those are the moments when what I love becomes just another checkbox on an ever-growing list. Sound familiar?
Let me share a little secret. I used to think papercrafting was just for scrapbooking family events.
I’d spend precious hours arranging photos and weaving in journaling to capture those fleeting moments. But card making? I swore it wasn’t for me.
Fast forward to now, and you’ll find me in my little crafting corner, surrounded by paper and glue, smiling over a simple card.
It’s become my sanctuary, a space where deadlines don’t exist and creativity flows like a gentle stream.
Whether I’m whipping up a batch of cards or pouring over a single, intricate piece, it’s my time. Just for me.
Crafting is where I find my breath, my pause, my joy. It’s where I rediscover that creative spark I had as a kid—where the world was full of endless possibilities.
If you’re feeling drained and disconnected from that inner creative child, let’s change that. Let’s laugh, play, and explore together. You don’t need to be an expert or have a studio filled with supplies. Start small, start simple, just start.
Let me help you to have a little piece of that calm too!
Check out the KITS COLLECTION—a place where everything you need is beautifully tucked in one box, waiting for you to dive in.
Let’s create, not because we have to, but because it feeds our soul. I’m here to guide you, cheer you on, and celebrate every little creative victory, however big or small.

I am being nostalgic more and more these days!
I participated in a recent Online Stamp Camp and I choose to showcase the Celebratory Sips Suite Collection as one of my 50 minute sessions.
It was fun to show the versatility in the look of cards, just in the choice of patterned paper and color combinations.
It was also fun to go WAY BACK to 2005-06 to find a technique for a card - the Waterfall technique!
I watched old videos and looked at things from Splitcoast Stampers that I hadn't watched for years!
Then I saw a couple of waterfall cards using the same products that were made by Rose Ward and I decided I'd put my own little spin on it.
I hadn't made one of these in years, and in the old days we used brads to keep the mechanism in place.
I used a good dose of multipurpose liquid glue and Tear & Tape to hold things together.
When you start pulling down on the bottom of the card, you want to make sure your adhesive will hold everything together, but still give you the ability to allow movement.
I loved how mine turned out and those who attended the Online Stamp Camp were given the full written instructions and got to watch a live of me putting the card together.
I really loved that I was able to use almost all the products from the Suite on the card.
I used The Garden embossing folder from the Glass and Gardens duo pack of embossing folders included in the Suite.
The pull at the bottom used the beautiful Gold 3/8" Striped Ribbon.
One of my favorite parts of presenting this card is I was able to use small portions of several of the patterns of paper from the Celebratory Sips paper pack.
There were even portions of the larger pattern glasses, that even of the top was cut off I showed how to fill in by stamping onto cardstock or patterned paper piece and die cut to complete the decoration.
That's what I did on the back of the card.
I fussy cut one of the glasses at the top edge of the paper, that had a portion of the umbrella in the glass, so I stamped onto a small piece of Cloud Cover cardstock and die cut the shape of the umbrella and attached it over the patterned paper.
It gave a fun look to the inside/back of the card.
If you'd like the complete instructions for this card, you can place an order of $20 or more from my online store in the month of August and the instructions are free as my thank you.
Or you can purchase the entire 35 page pdf of the Online Stamp Camp instructions by emailing me and I'll reach out with the details.
I hope this inspires you to go into the WAY BACK MACHINE for project ideas too!
