Sharing the amazing projects from my February Stampin Class.  I will have more photos and details of each project in the coming days.    


I made these mini magnetic calendars as a giveaway for the girls who attended my class.




Forever Blossom Stamp Set / Parisian Dies



As soon as I saw this card on Pinterest I knew I had to case it.  I stamped the flowers from Forever Blossom stamp set in Smoky Slate.  The paper is from Sale-A-Bration, but I believe it is no longer available since it was so popular.









Lovely Lily Pad Happy Birthday Card


A Lovely Lily Pad card using the Sale-A-Bration stamp set with coordinating Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper and Lily Pad Dies.  You can earn this fancy paper FREE with a qualifying purchase from January 3-March 31, 2020, during our Sale-A-Bration promotion!  You can get the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set also during Sale-A-Bration.







Stamping Tip Using a Stampin' Up! Blender Pen


You know how sometimes you stamp a solid image and there seems to be a missing part that didn't stamp.  You can see this on the left of the heart I stamped with the Heartfelt stamp set.  Dip your Blender Pen lightly on the ink pad and blend in lightly on the image.  It's important to keep your strokes light so you don't see the mark.
