Which hobby is your "thing"? The one that you are so passionate about that you are driven to find the time to do it? Is it reading, gardening, sewing, or paper crafting?
If you are reading my blog, my guess is that you are pretty smitten with paper crafting and card making. That's pretty much all we "talk about" here, right? That and family, of course.
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!
In the words of Julia Child... "keep tremendously interested" in paper crafting!

Over the past few months, I have received some beautiful handmade cards. These include birthday cards, thank you cards, and most recently, sympathy cards for the loss of my Dad.
In getting back into the swing of things, these cards were shared on Facebook LIVE on Tuesday evening. It is my hope that you will gather many ideas to inspire you to create your own beautiful handmade cards.
Here's the recording of the LIVE video...
How many ideas do you have now? The different layouts and cuts of patterned paper and card stock make for a good start for me!
Here's hoping you are inspired to get crafting and make some beautiful handmade cards.
Forty-seven years ago today, we became Mr. and Mrs. Brown. It's been an incredible journey of love and faith. We are blessed with two beautiful girls and sons-in-loves and three adorable granddaughters. How has it already been 47 years?
I wanted to share the card that I made for Jackie...
This is a fun card made with the He's All That Bundle. I just love the images in the set, the dies, and the die-cut pieces in the paper.
Here are the supplies used on this card...
This set of products is great for masculine cards. Take a look at these two HERE! And, whether you are celebrating seven or forty-seven years, you can make a great anniversary card!
Today's project features an easy accent fold for your handmade cards. This design was created for our monthly Stars Team Meeting for a Mystery Stamping session. Although simple in design, it's a sweet alternative to a traditional fold for a card.
Here is the recipe and the only details that were given to the Stars Team before our virtual gathering on Zoom:
Here's another version with a different color scheme...
Try overlapping images especially if outline images like on this card. These from the Splendid Thoughts Bundle (English) [159677] are so pretty.
If you would like to create this card, you can find the supplies in the Online Store. If you do not have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I would be happy to serve you! E-mail me and let me know how I can help you!

It was a splendid day to be able and craft and make this Stampin' Up! card with new goodies from the July to December Mini Catalog! The inspiration for this card came from a recent online event for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. These beautiful colors, images, and dies made this crafting experience so much fun!
That little half-circle label is the cutest! It's very different with some embossed and pierced accents along the edges.
Here are some tidbits of information about this card.

With Father's Day approaching this weekend, it is fitting that this man and a Father's Day card be the subject of today's post. For the last few months, this man has been our family's priority getting him the care he needs to make these golden years of his life the best possible. We appreciate your good thoughts and prayers for healing.
If you missed this post, you need to check out these other cards made with the same suite as this Father's Day card. The He's the Man Suite from the Stampin' Up! Annual catalog is fabulous! This paper crafter could NOT stop creating with it! The stamp set and dies are awesome but the specialty designer paper with two sheets of die cut included make it extra special and so easy to create cards for your guy. That diamond with the Best Day Award pictured above is just one example.
Also from the die sheet is the single star, the strip of stars and the journaling block that is the landing point for all those intricate pieces. The circle, label, and argyle-look pieces are elements cut with the dies from the suite. And, did you notice? There is no stamping on the card front.
But, the inside of the card has the Father's Day sentiment on another one of the die cut labels.
Even with all the elements on the front of this card, it still has a clean cut and classic look...don't you think?
Here is a list of supplies used for this card. I truly appreciate your support. Every order placed through my online store helps support my business and if you are do not have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I would be grateful and honored to serve as yours.

Make cards for Father's Day or any day for the guys in your life who are your top priority and shop for this suite now to get started!
Last week's Premiere featured two masculine birthday cards with the new Stampin' Up! Here's the Man Suite. You will love this group of products and if you struggle with masculine-themed cards, this is for you!
The die-cuts in the He's The Man 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper [159068] are fantastic for making quick cards! It was hard to stop creating once getting started with these.
Here's the recording of the video from the Premiere.
Masculine Birthday Cards with Stampin' Up! He's the Man
Lisa's Inklings:
-For the diagonal cut on the He's The Man 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper [159068], upper left to the lower right of two prints. It's easiest if one of the prints does not have specific directionality.
-For the fun fold, cut your card stock 4-1/4 x 11. Score at 5-1/2 and cut 3" off of what will be the front of the card.
Four dies were used on the card above. The two Crushed Curry Cardstock [131199] banners are cut with one die!
Keep in mind that you don't always have to stamp on neutral card stock. On this card, Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad [147114] was used on Soft Succulent 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [155776].
The inside of the card has a simple strip of leftover designer paper on a Basic White Cardstock [159276] layer.
What an easy fun fold card! Just change the orientation of a piece cut from the front.
The card front covers the inside layer of the card. Here, two scrap strips of patterned paper were used on the Basic White piece.
This sentiment could be used for a birthday card, congratulatory card, or graduation card. There is no sentiment stamped on the inside so that it can be customized later for the occasion.
Here are the supplies used for these cards...

Today's project is a card-making idea with a special ribbon treatment to give to a friend or other amazing person in your life featuring the Color & Contour Set and Coordinating Dies. I was so glad to see these carry over into the new annual catalog from Stampin' Up! The layering possibilities with these dies are too many to count!
Highlighted on this card this ribbon treatment that is a nice alternative to a bow. Although this card has a definite feminine feel, this same technique can be used on a masculine card by securing the looped ribbon with a Linen Thread knot instead of a bow.
You can make this card using the directions found on the downloadable PDF below. Save to a file on your computer or tablet or print it as a hard copy file.
