Hello stampers and happy Monday to you! Today I am sharing some Timeless Arrangements cards with you. I adore this bundle because it makes it SO easy to make “timeless arrangements”. The name of this stamp set is so fitting, because the cleverly designed dies make it so easy to make beautiful arrangements that are indeed “timeless”. They can be used for any occasion, at any time of the year. Let’s take a look!
Timeless Arrangements Cards
Truth be told, I went a little bit crazy when I started creating with this bundle. Not all the cards fit the colour scheme, but I think you will agree that they are pretty special!
Try something new! Click on the photo above and see what happens. If I did it right, and you live in Canada, then you should be “in” my webshop with all the products listed that I used for these cards. Let me know if it works!!
Great Deal in July!
Summer is often a slow month for stamping sales and I really, really want to earn the Mexico incentive trip, mostly for Gerard because he loves to scuba dive and hasn’t done it for years, but also because it is the hallmark for knowing that you are running your business well. I very much appreciate every order that comes my way!! Timeless Arrangements is my deal for July and you get 20% cash back of the catalog price if you order through me. If you would rather get a different incentive, you can also choose a package of embellishments sent to you in a pretty card, or a mystery box from my stash!!
More Inspiration
This is a monochromatic card that I made showing how versatile this bundle is.
Here is another favourite which was inspired by Amy Cook.
Video Tutorial
I always enjoy seeing a stamp set in action, so maybe you do too! Check out my video from last week and remember, each Tuesday in July will feature another Timeless Arrangements card. Live in Canada or Europe? Order your bundle today and get 20% cash back from the catalog price!!

Hello stampers and happy Friday. Today I am sharing a super fun technique with embossing paste. Did YOU know that Stampin’Up! sells embossing paste? My job as a Stampin’Up! demonstrator is to share with you all the hidden gems in our huge annual catalog. Even I forget sometimes about all the amazing products that we have. My embossing paste was hiding in the cupboard for a while too!
Amazing Embossing Paste Trick
A few days ago I created a post sharing my top five videos over the years. One of them was a technique that involved stamping on embossing folders. This inspired me to do something new with an embossing folder and I am sharing the result with you now. Are you curious?
What to do
First you cover your work surface with a piece of grid paper or computer paper. Put your card down and carefully spread embossing paste over your card front or cardstock layer using a palette knife. Set aside on a new clean surface. Clean your palette knife. If you don’t do this right away it will harden and dry making it difficult to clean.
Ink up your embossing folder, either side work for the exposed brick embossing folder. Press the embossing folder into the embossing paste surface of your card. Press down firmly and then carefully peel it away. Watch my video as seeing is believing!
Spritz the back of your cardstock with water so that it doesn’t end up curling. When your embossing paste is dry (this could take a few hours) press it down with a few punches stacked on top of each other. This helps flatten your card.
After the embossing paste is dry and the card is flattened you can add your other elements using either liquid adhesive or dimensionals.
Which is your favourite colour? Cherry cobbler, Pebbled Path or Copper Clay for the embossing paste embossed exposed brick wall?

Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you. Today I am going to share my five most viewed videos and I would like you to pick your favourite. The one with the most votes will get recreated with current products! I am excited to share this walk down memory lane with you. Can you believe that I have posted 593 video on YouTube? I think the oldest one is from 2017.
Video Number One: Faux Leather Technique
I have since done a new Faux Leather technique video, you can see that one here.
Video Number Two: Twisted Pop-Up Card Tutorial
Here is the link to an old blog post that features a different twisted pop-up card that has a nautical theme. I really do love this fancy fold card!
Video Number Three: Love it, Chop it
Here is the link to my blog post where I talk about the love it, chop it mentality and how it can really change how you use your paper!
Video Number Four: Super Quick Way to Mount Your Cling Stamp Sets
I need to add a disclaimer to this video. While this trick CAN save you a lot of time, sometimes there can be an error in the matching of the sticker sheet to the stamps. When this happens, there is no going back. You will not be able to take the stickers off after they are on. So look carefully before you begin to see if there are any discrepancies.
Video Number Five: Stamping on Embossing Folders
This one is a lot of fun. Today I am trying something new. I am spreading embossing paste on my card, letting it dry slightly, and then pressing the embossing folder into it. Stay tuned for how it turns out!
What do YOU Think?
Well, what’s the verdict? Which of these videos should recreate using current products? It sure is fun to see what was being used five or six years ago and how I have also changed!
I hope you have fun with this and I am looking forward to hearing from you what the verdict will be. Have a super day and happy stamping. Thanks for checking out my blog today.

Well hello stampers and happy Tuesday to you. Have you seen all the buzz about the One Horse Open Sleigh suite from Stampin’Up! Trust me, it is worth it! I got right on the bandwagon as soon as I saw the paper. You see, I had the paper before I got the bundle. It wasn’t really affordable to have the bundle in the Netherlands AND in Canada, so I ordered the paper in the Netherlands knowing that I was going to Canada soon where I could pick up the bundle. This paper makes it very easy to make a beautiful card. Check out the photo below of all the cards that I have made so far.
A Very Special Deal
I believe in this suite so much that I am offering a five card (yes, FIVE!) in the mail to everyone who orders the suite through me. You will also get the free pdf tutorial that I wrote for the 8 cards shown above. Check out the graphic below and you will see the five cards that you will get for free in the mail. The kit will include card bases, all cardstock layers and any die cuts that are not included in the One Horse Open Sleigh suite. You will also get the embellishments and ribbon or twine. No stamped images will be included as that is not allowed by SU policy. The measurements for the patterned paper will be found in the pdf tutorial.
Inspiration from Berdien Weideveld
I first met Berdien at OnStage in Vienna and she is a lovely and talented Stampin’Up! demonstrator who is also a member of the Artisan Design Team. She made such a beautiful card with the One Horse Open Sleigh suite that I just had to case it. There is also a video tutorial for you to watch so you can make it yourself.
Video Tutorial
This is a casual video tutorial that I originally made for my team July meeting. You will gain some insight into how to case a card! Case means Copy And Share Everything. Thanks Berdien for your wonderful inspiration. You can find Berdien on Instagram here.
