You'll want to join us LIVE at 5 Central Time today on Facebook!
Jackie and I attended the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference, BackStage, in New Orleans this past weekend. It was a very special event and we experienced some wonderful training and motivational speakers. Seeing and gathering with so many friends was just what we needed.
On the first evening, we gathered for a social and to swap cards! This was so much fun and I received a huge stack of cards that I want to share with you!
Join us at 6 PM ET, 5 PM CT, 4 PM MT, 3 PM PT on Facebook and we will take a look at all the beautiful cards that we received!
Let's start off the week with the second project in our 2022 Stampin' Up! Halloween Series!
This week, we will make a nice-sized treat bag that can hold gifts for any occasion with a quick change of image and sentiment.
Once again, we searched the dollar store for a fun treat we know our granddaughters will enjoy.
Let's take a look at the how-to for this second project in our 2022 Halloween Series... (And, if you missed it, check out Episode 1!)

It's time for the first in a series of 2022 Stampin' Up! Halloween projects from Ink and Inspirations!
This first project is a small pouch with a fun gift. I searched the dollar store for fun little gifts four our granddaughters and found some cute items that will work and they will love!
Let's take a look...
Lisa's Inklings:
This pack of little window clings from Dollar Tree was easily cut apart from a big sheet. Three of these fit just right into the pouch.
Here is the supply list for this Halloween 2022 project:
Don't you love the cuteness of this bundle? It has the perfect title. It's a combination of scary and cute!
It's your turn now to create for Halloween with this idea from my 2022 Stampin' Up! Halloween Series!
This fun fold card with Stampin' Up! A Fish and A Wish is one you will want to make over and over again. A fun fold card refers to any card that has a fold or folds that are different from the typical "fold in half" card.
During our Stars team meeting, this was our mystery card project. Prior to the meeting, the "recipe" was posted on our group page and during the second half of our meeting, we all created our cards. There was a lovely variation of styles and colors! We'd love for you to join the fun and there's a special gift for you from Stampin' Up! if you purchase the Starter Kit by August 31st! Let me know if you want to know more!
Here's the video with the how-to tutorial so you can make it, too!
Lisa's Inkings:
The inside of the card is "fancy", too! Those little fish are darling and the stamp punch combo makes it so easy!
Here is a list of supplies used to create this sweet project. I can't wait for you to try it! Thank you so much for your purchase. Each time you make a purchase from me, it supports my business and allows me to continue to share with you. I would be honored to serve as your demonstrator.
A stamp set and punch combo is a great selection for quick cards or beginner stampers. Be sure to watch the video above for a tip on stamping and punching and then try this fun fold card with Stampin' Up! A Fish & A Wish!
Yes, it's still August but it's not too early to begin the Christmas card-making season.
I have to admit that seeing all of the holiday supplies in July was a bit unsettling for me. But, I am getting back in the groove and super excited to be offering a series of online classes and you are hearing about it first!

This is a personal invitation for you to sign up for my email list so that you can get even more ideas, tips, and more about me. ;) Typically, it's one email a week unless there is a special that's announced, a class that I am offering, anything time-sensitive, or if I think you might need to be reminded about something a few times...like me. ;)
Just for signing up, you will get a special online card class that you can adapt and create with supplies that you have on hand.
It's free and I'd love for you to sign up! Here's the link...do it now!
