One of the best parts about this event is the opportunity to craft together! This year we’re going to create cards using the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit, an all-inclusive product that comes with everything you and your customers need to make 10 lovely, all-occasion cards.
Includes: A stamp set, 10 cards and envelopes, a card organizer, shaped labels, twine, glitter adhesive, embellishments, a mini ink pad
It’s a good day to share some good news—the Water Painters (168253) are back in stock! On March 4, 2025, STAMPIN’ Up! Said this item would temporarily be unavailable while they transitioned to a new manufacturer. Thank you for your patience during this shift. Happy water painting!
The Love & Courage Stamp Set is made for those affected by breast cancer. For moments when words matter most, these stamps help you create cards that honor both the fighters and the friends who stand by them. Express love, support, encouragement, solidarity, gratitude, and appreciation in a meaningful way with the breast cancer sentiments and images in this stamp set.
With each purchase of the Love & Courage Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up will donate $3 to support the fight against breast cancer around the world. I hope you’ll join in making a difference this holiday season.

I realized I have not written you for a little while.
What a season we have had. Sunshine, hot and humid days, rainy days to help our farmers fields. A real good mix of weather to enjoy.
I know Im sure loving to sit in my yard listening and watching the birds and the bunnies. They keep our little Leo busy. He is always looking for a friend to play with.
We had our grand daughter, Kaia over for an afternoon swim. Oh! What a delight she is and how beautiful she is growing. We just love her to bits. And that giggle. Man, it just warms your heart. DELIGHTFUL. 🥰
As I heal from my surgery, physiotherapy is going well. I sometimes don’t feel like there are no improvements and keeping the discomfort at bay but the therapist & surgeon say I am. No pain no gain. It was explained that since I have gone so long not using all my muscle groups it will take time to build up strength. So I guess I am getting there. It just will be wonderful to get back to my new normal routines, my teaching, my hairstyling clients and supports I provide with my Passport clients. This time off has shown me even more to continue to do what I love. Im thankful for that.
Studio 54 has been relatively steady.
So grateful to have happy stampers, and my Winking Stellar Team to keep me in line.
We have had some times to gather for Coffee&Card.
Christmas In July was a really fun day. 8 ladies joined in to play BINGO, craft making cards and getting ready to build up energy to Yell “PRIZE PATROL & BINGO”
I do look forward to gathering and get crafty with a load of dates and special times in the fall and winter. I will post in my calendar on my website. As soon as I can. My plan is to return to work-work once the medical team clears me.

Last week Update
ONSTAGE in Houston
What an amazing time away. My heart is full. I was so fortunate to share this experience with one of my Winking Stellar team, Marie and a few others from my Stamp2Cre8 team, Stephanie & Judy. We did have a BLAST! (No pun intended)
Here are a few of many photos taken over the 3 Day event. I got to meet some of my Stampin’ Heroes – So Star Struck! Connecting with some new faces, and other demo friends from around North America and around the globe I have met in the past during my 6 years as Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.
I even got to walk actually DANCE across the stage as I celebrated my 5 Year Milestone Anniversary with my peeps. I danced like no-one was watching! HA! HA! Huge Highlight for me to Celebrate my 5 Year from last year! THANKS to all my supporters. I cannot do this without you all! 💜
I will be hosting a New Annual Catalogue Launch Party in May so stay tuned. TBD There will be games/ prize patrol/ BINGO/ crafty make & takes with new products.
A Paper Share of DESIGNER SERIES PAPERS FROM THE NEW Annual CATALOGUE is coming near!
SIGN UP will start soon!
Once my surgery is done next week, I will post Class Dates, and other particulars happening in the studio.
I love what I do & do what I love.
Let me know how I can help you make your crafting experience memorable. Enjoy your paper crafting journey.
A Fun and really easy way to create cards in a short period of time. All you need is a BASIC TOOL KIT, DSP (Designer Series Paper) and cardstock!
Can we get a YAY! The greatest joy is to hear, “You made that?? WOW!!”
ListofIngredients
Paper Trimmer
DSP – Designer Series Paper (Patterned Paper)
Coloured Cardstock
Embellishments | Ribbon or Gems : BLING BLING
Adhesive of choice| Tombow Liquid Glue or Stampin’ Seal
Dimensional | Double Sided Adhesive Foam Dots
Bone Folder – score and make crisp folds on cardstock and paper
Take Your Pick Tool
All projects are created by starting out with some pretty Designer Series Paper. You can choose any pattern for any occasion.
You need two 3″ x 3″ squares to make all of the triangles for this card. As in some of the above cards, I only needed to cut 2 – 3” x 3″ square into two triangles with the Paper Trimmer.
To create the other projects, I then cut that triangle into two more triangles. And then, I cut one of those triangles into two triangles. 3 cuts in total. The patterns on each card are the reverse of the same designer series paper (DSP). When choosing your patterns, be sure you like both sides (or use another piece of paper, pattern or solid).
I offer a step up for the card base. see Instructions below.
Cut your card base to either, 5 1/2” x 8 1/2 Scored at 4 1/4” on the 8 1/2” side (or) 11” x 4 1/4” Scored at 5 1/2” • Add a layer measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and hey fancy it up by running that layer in an embossing folder, add your cut triangles to that layer. Waa Laa!
