The Taco Fiesta stamp is perfect for those who loves tacos! It includes images for chips & salsa, guacamole, avocado, jalapeno and even a piƱata with candy you can add! And the sayings are just so punny. Such as the one used on my card, You're NACHO average friend. You can paid this stamp set with a label die set such as the All That dies or use a rectangle shape instead if you don't own a Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. This card was created using one of my 3 card sketches PDF. You can receive the 3 card sketches for free by subscribing to my email list here: http://Subscribe.FromWhereIStamp.ca.

Did you know you can use one sheet of Tea Boutique designer series paper to create two cards? There are 48 sheets in this designer series paper (DSP) pack. That means you could create 96 cards with this pack alone!
The Silver & Gold 6x6 DSP is really pretty but lacks some colour. The best thing about this paper is that you can add your own colour very easily! For today's card you'll learn how to use the Stampin' Blends to colour the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper (DSP). I hadn't tried using Stampin' Blends with this paper before and I love how it turned out! 

Have you started thinking about Christmas cards or making them yet? I figured that if I can make at least one or two Christmas cards each month that means there are less I need to make come November when I look at the list I'm sending cards to! An easy way to create Christmas Card is using the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack. 
July is World Watercolour Month. I love to watercolour so this is a great excuse to show you some tips and tricks to create a Yeti to Party Christmas card using the Watercolour Pencils. Today's card uses the Yeti to Party stamp set. It's adorable & perfect for birthdays and Christmas!
July is World Watercolour Month and a great way to celebrate is to create a card using a watercolour technique, watercolour wash! Today's card shows how to create a watercolour card with Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set. You can change up the colours depending on which designer series paper you use. I just had to chose purple as it's my favourite colour!
The last few years Stampin' Up! has included some cute animal stamps in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue and this year is no different! This blog post shares how you can create a cute hippo card using the Hippest Hippos stamp set and how you can earn it for free. 
Would you like to have 8 birthday cards on hand ready to send or hand deliver? Create birthday cards with the Light the Candles card kit! It includes everything you need, including the clear block and ink spot. 
A kit is a fun way to start stamping or to expand your supplies if you are a new stamper. Everything included in one fun box! You then have an ink spot and stamp set to reuse on a different project. This blog post included more ideas for the Christmas Whimsy Card Kit for you to see what you can make using just the kit's contents but also an extra card version that needs just a few other products to create. 
A great person should receive a puny card on their birthday, right? Along with this fun colour combo of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide and Mango Melody it's a fun way to send birthday wishes. The He's All That stamp set and All That dies paired with the Hive 3D embossing folder were used to create this card. And if you scroll down you'll find a list of products with links to my online store to purchase. I'm loving the All That dies for the label and the flags dies, there are many uses for these dies not just to coordinate with the stamp set but they will work with many other stamp sets as well. 
Stampin' Up!'s He's The Man Suite is full of fun pattern paper, dies and stamps with great sayings on them! While this suite says "he" you could definitely use it for anyone. This card doesn't have to be for the guy in your life as the sentiment reads "ever day with you is another adventure". My head is full of ideas for scrapbook pages of travels with my dog, my mom and my husband. Can you think of someone that sentiment would be a great fit?
Are you a new stamper or someone who is still building their crafting stash? In this blog post I share a few tips on what products you should have in your crafting stash. These are a few items I use every time I create:
  • Simply Shammy - needs only water to clean your stamps
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive - just rip off the amount you need
  • Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock
  • Rhinestone Basic Jewels - a pop of sparkle is sometimes needed on your card
Ever looked at the designs in a pack of designer series paper and knew you could create a beautiful bouquet? It's one of the reasons I purchased the Hues of Happiness designer series paper (DSP). Another was the backside of the DSP sheets. The rainbow and colourful designs are very pretty. And it has one of my favourite purples in it, Gorgeous Grape! Figured that if I didn't want to use many of the flowers I could at least use the opposite side for my projects. 
Are you dreaming about summer weather? Today was absolutely gorgeous near Kingston, Ontario. High of 17 degrees Celsius and we had the windows open. Even had our 1st campfire tonight before I watched the season finale of Outlander. Summer vibes was why I purchased the Kite Delight stamp set. This stamp set makes me think of green open fields, bright blue skies and white puffy clouds. A perfect summer day! 
I love when there are pre-designed embellishments that can be popped out and glued to my project using Mini Glue Dots or my favourite adhesive, the Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Abstract Beauty Suite includes a Ephemera Pack. 

The Abstract Beauty Suite is great for new and experienced stampers. Especially since it includes a cards & envelopes pack that includes 10 pre-printed cards and 10 envelopes that have pretty designs on the inside of them. You could cut apart the envelopes and use the designs on your cards instead of sheets from the Abstract Beauty designer series paper.
Have you tried stamping onto designer series paper? For this card you need one suite of products to create this card. Stampin' Up!'s Abstract Beauty Suite is fun and abstract-y. I know, not a word but it sounded good in my head. I'll just go with it. To create this card you could use the normal sized card base, which is half a sheet of cardstock but included in the Abstract Beauty Suite are the Abstract Beauty Cards & Envelopes. If you watch this Instagram Reel you can see that I started with one of the cards that has a black watercolour wash on it. For any of the cards you can either cover it up with pretty designer series paper (DSP) or add stamped image, pieces of DSP or die cut images.
Do you want to create a fun and quick card? Use the Lighthearted Lines stamp set, especially use the saying "Don't grow up. (It's a trap)" to make the receiver smile and pair it with your favourite designer series paper (DSP). 
It's March and I'm still using Christmas inspired stamps and designer series paper! The main reason is to share with you that you can make a thankful card using the retiring Season's Blessings stamp set and Seasonal Basket dies and not make it Thanksgiving or Christmas related. The biggest choice you can make is when picking what colours you are going to create with. From the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper I chose Sahara Sand and Evening Evergreen. Then because it's spring I looked over the 10 colours in the Subtles Collection to see what would match. Sometimes I will stack the ink pads together to see what the colours look like but other times I'll pull pieces of cardstock from my file cabinet. Usually the cardstock is easier for me. From the Subtles this card has Calypso Coral and Soft Sea Foam. If you saw my card a few weeks ago you would've learned that Granny Apple Green is one of my least used colours and that applies to Calypso Coral too. Are there colours you won't use or have a hard time using?
Have you used a sketch before to create a card or scrapbook layout? Some sketches will have dimensions provided, like mine above, while others won't. You can peruse the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue for card designs. These won't have sizes but you can use any catalogues for inspiration. Perhaps you'll discover a new project design or even a colour combination that you can try. 
Does this card make you think of Neapolitan Ice Cream? I can't have Neapolitan Ice Cream because one layer is strawberry and I'm allergic to strawberries! But that's ok, I love chocolate ice cream instead. What colours of ice cream would you make for the 3 scoops on this cone? You could even have sprinkles.
