When you have a stack of thank you cards to make.....

I recently went on a weekend overnighter with a few friends. A trip we take every year to the beach. I of course wanted to send them all a special Thank you card sharing in moments together with each of them. I'm so busy that I realized I needed help to get it all done......

When you’ve got a whole stack of thank you cards to get out… you call in reinforcements! A big thank you to my daughter Amanda for jumping in and helping me create. Grateful for the extra hands and the sweet time together.

Truly love getting to spend time with my sweet daughter while she is in the states.

Let’s celebrate together with creativity, color, and fun!

If you would have told me 4 years ago that my Stampin’ Up! journey would be where it is today, I would have laughed. Back then, I was in such a different place in life. When I saw my Stampin’ Mom sharing a promotion, I mentioned it to my husband. His words were simple but powerful: “Why not? You’ve always loved being creative—and you’re good at it.”

It’s hard to put into words the friendships I’ve made through this journey and the impact they’ve had on my life. Stampin’ Up! has given me an outlet beyond the everyday rhythm of work, family, and those moments of boredom or even loneliness we all face. It has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I absolutely love Stampin’ Up! (they genuinely care about their people!) and the incredible community that surrounds it.

If you’ve ever been curious about what I do, let’s chat—I’d love to share more with you!

Stampin on Canvas....

Today I had some fun stamping on canvas using my Small Business stamp set while getting ready for giveaway treats. I tried out three different methods:

heat embossing, StazOn, and Memento ink. Hands down, StazOn gave the best crisp, clean finish!

(Note) I used Stampin Blend Markers to color on images in all three inks. Just be careful and take your time coloring on canvas. The ink will bleed just a smidge. I found it easiest to not color quit to the edge and let the ink slow bleed to it, so it didn't go outside the line.

Have you ever stamped on canvas before?

What’s your favorite method?

 

Fond Farewell: Some of our favorite products are going away!

 Stampin’ Up! announced some important product updates that I

 wanted to share with you:

🖊️ Stampin’ Write Water-Based Markers – These beloved markers, a staple in so many craft rooms, are being discontinued. If you’ve had your eye on any, now’s the time to grab them before they’re gone!

❤️ Cling (Red Rubber) Stamps – Due to ongoing global rubber shortages, Stampin’ Up! has made the difficult decision to discontinue producing red rubber cling stamps. All current sets will remain available while supplies last (including my Happy Place stamp set 🙌).

But don’t worry—Stampin’ Up! will continue to bring us an amazing variety of Photopolymer Stamps so our creativity keeps flowing strong!
