Creative Collab Crew Coneflower Celebrations Product Spotlight

6/17/2025

I could not stop creating with the Coneflower Celebrations bundle. I loved that we picked it for our Creative Collab Challenge Spotlight.

This bold card was my project for the week. I combined Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo with classic black and white. I love how it turned out.

These next two were my weekly "this or that" social media post and gave me some Andy Warhol vibes.

I used Pecan Pie ink on Crumb Cake paper for this card.

Stampin' Up! Party Piggy Card Ideas

5/23/2025

0 Comments

The new Party Piggy bundle is adorable. It's so cute that we decided to use it as our Creative Collab Crew Product Spotlight.

I'm a sucker for puns so this one is perfect for me. Cute sayings and cute images.

One of the most fun aspects is the coordinating shaker domes. You can fill them with the loose shaker embellishments for an adorable card. I often avoid shaker cards because they can be a lot of work but this one wasn't too bad!

Creative Collab Crew Brayer Technique Cards

5/5/2025

0 Comments

Have you used a brayer before? There are so many ways to use one so Kathy, Melissa and I decided it was the perfect choice for this week's technique challenge. Be sure to go see how they used it as well.

I decided to do an ombre effect by layering three colors together. The new Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper is perfect for this because it's all black and white. I cut the DSP to 4 x 5 1/2 to leave a little color at the top and bottom.

When I went to create my video I decided to switch up the colors I used and do a pink version. I am loving that we got Strawberry Slush back as an In Color!

Don't miss the great new Textured Notes dies. Each one has a fun design to it. I used three of them on this card.

Check out exactly how I created this fun card with this video.

For Week 9 of our Creative Collab Crew challenges we did a product spotlight featuring the Online Exclusive Mixed Media Florals Suite. This suite includes TWO stamp/die bundles and both are fun to work with.

I chose to create a faux shaker card. These are so fun and easy to create using our clear envelopes. The Designer Series Paper insert is cut to 4 x 5.25 inches.

Creative Collab Crew Week 8 Masking Technique Challenge

2/27/2025

0 Comments

Welcome back to week 8 of the Creative Collab Crew! This week is a technique challenge. We chose masking and we each had a different take on the idea. I used Decorative Masks and Kathy and Melissa each used masking paper but in different ways.

Here is my card! I used the new Linked Together Decorative Masks to add a background to my card base. There are five separate masks in this set but I only used three of them. I paired it with the Seaside Wishes bundle including the hybrid embossing folder.

Here is my step by step video walking you through how I use the Decorative Masks with blending brushes. I love these masks! Be sure to check out the others we have as well.

If you like PDFs here you go! This includes the measurements.

Be sure to go check out Melissa and Kathy's projects this week.

1/31/2025

0 Comments

This week for our Creative Collab Crew Challenge we chose heat embossing. I picked Clear Embossing Powder on white card stock and colored it with my blending brushes.

I used the Mixed Media suite for my inspiration! I love this suite and all the different looks it allows you to create. This will be my suite choice for my February Suite Class so stay tuned for details. I offer both an in person class and a by mail option.
