Hello stampers. Wisteria Wishes really is WOW!! Take a look at the photo below and you will see what happens when you fall in love with a stamp set. To think that this bundle wasn’t even on my radar at first! The sad thing is, this bundle is retiring soon so be sure to get it before April 30. If you do, then you can come to my FREE Zoom class on May 17 at 1pm EST or 7pm European Central Time.
A Closer Look at Wisteria Wishes Cards
If you are like me, you will appreciate a closer look at some of the cards. My favourite thing in making these cards was making the wisteria blossoms out of watercolour paper that had been colour washed with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. I did a short video tutorial on this technique and I will share that video in this blog as well.

Hello stampers and happy Friday to you. This is my first full day back in the Netherlands and I would like to share this Nature’s Harvest card with you. I really do love this stamp set and it is retiring! Unfortunately, I just checked and it is sold out in North America, but it is still available in the Netherlands. If you want it, let me know!! Take a peek at the top right of this card and you will see a beautiful, delicate dragonfly. These trinkets ARE still available, so get them before they are gone!
Nature’s Harvest Video Tutorial
Join me as I show you how I made this card. There are some technical difficulties at the beginning. I thought I was going live on Facebook but when I checked there was nothing there! Turns out I was live on YouTube and didn’t know it. Enjoy a chuckle at my expense.

Hello stampers and welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing what I call a bright vintage Queen Bee card. The feel is definitely vintage but the pop of Crushed Curry does make it a bit brighter than traditional vintage. This design is from Laura Milligan who also designed this stamp set as a Million Dollar Achiever. I loved making it!

A Few More Queen Bee Cards
I really do love the word “beloved” in this stamp set. I’ve used it in the background for my sympathy cards and that really tugs at my heartstrings.
For this square vintage card (it measures 4 1/4″ by 4 1/4″) I layered it with vellum cardstock, smoky slate and crushed curry cardstock. The details in the background come from Ranunculus Romance.
Colour Refresh
Today is the day that we find out about the colour refresh. My advice would be to order the ink refills and cardstock of the colours that you love that are leaving and do so as soon as possible. I am sure that some will sell out very quickly, so this is a time when you do not want to procrastinate!
Thanks for joining me today. As always, the products that I have used are listed below. A simple click on them, and you will be in my online store in Canada. If you live in Europe you can shop with me here or join my team.
Hello stampers and happy Monday to you. Masking Paper and Blending Brushes add up to a lot of fun AND some pretty awesome cards. I will be teaching these cards tomorrow in person and I am so looking forward to that. Today I also made one of these cards for my weekly Cheer Corner which is live on Facebook every Monday at 10am EST or 4pm Central European Time.

Three More Cards with Masking Paper
I must admit that I used our retired layering ovals dies to make the mask for these cards. Here’s hoping that they end up in our new annual catalog on May 1!

Hello stampers and happy Monday to you. Today is another Easter post but without bunnies! Easter is all about celebrating Jesus. Rejoice in Him is a beautiful stamp set but I never thought I would be stamping Jesus!
I kept the Rejoice in Him card simple by stamping on a stitched rectangle die cut which I mounted on Abigail Rose paper. “Jesus” was coloured with the natural tones Blends. I fussy cut the leaves and the dove. The sentiments were stamped on Gray Granite which were die cut with the Something Fancy dies.
I hope you like these simple Rejoice in Him cards which focus on Jesus and what He has done for us. Perhaps it will inspire you to send some cards to shut-ins who cannot attend an Easter service. I will do the same!

A Personal Note
I have been in Canada for the past three weeks and it has been so lovely to reconnect with my kids and grandkids, my mom and my siblings. It has been wonderful to do a few in person classes and so see some of my team and my customers. Three events left: a private class with my dear friend Sonja who suffered a life-threatening fall, a team gathering and a stamping extravaganza class with four of my team members also teaching.
Uncharacteristically I have not been taking many photos of posting on social media. Instead I have been fully immersed in the moments with my loved ones. On the one hand it feels a little disloyal to all of you, but on the other hand it feels liberating and natural.
Online Exclusives
My social media absence is probably not great for sales though. Did you know that there is a whole new line of products available from Stampin’Up? They are called Online Exclusives and you can find them here. These products will not be in any catalogs and they are available while supplies last. Basically, if you love them, get them!
Thanks so much for popping by today, I hope you enjoy my blog. If you live in Canada you can just click on the links below to shop with me, and I hope you do! If you live in Europe, you can shop with me here. I really appreciate your business and will send you a free pdf tutorial bundle when you shop with me. Have a super day!
