Technique Tuesday: Shaving Cream Technique

I remember when we did this technique at a demo meeting.  It is so messy... but also so beautiful.  If you are going to try this one, my suggestion is to make up a bunch of sheets to keep on hand for when you need a nice background for a card.  

Stampin' Up! Lovely Lace Embossing Folder

I have to be honest... I never even gave this embossing folder a second look.  It's the new "Lovely Lace" embossing folder in the NEW 2015 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog.  It wasn't until a friend of mine (Lilly Ruiz) shared this card with me that I realized how pretty it is.  And what about that Mossy Meadow in-color card stock and ribbon... so gorgeous and yet simple.  I hope this inspires you.

Throwback Thursday: Stationery Kit

I went deep into the archives for this little beauty.  I remember when all the Stampin' Up! Demonstrators were making these little stationery kits for their class projects.  If you haven't seen this yet or haven't seen it in a while... basically it's one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 card stock folded in half (5 1/2) and then you fold the bottom up about 1 1/2" to create the pocket for the greeting cards.  Small slit in the middle helps to fold nicely.  I used mini cards for this set.
