Thank You

 When Stampin' Up! released the Service Essentials stamp set with coordinating dies, it was like a dream come true. Every year, I sponsor a Veterans Thank You card drive and collect cards from the ladies that stamp with me at class, or watch my videos or people who just have heard about it. This year marks the fourth year that we have done it and we are well on our way to reaching our goal.

Here is a card that I made using the Service Essentials stamp set:

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Service Essentials (Online Exclusive #167436)

INK: Misty Moonlight, Real Red

PAPER: Real Red Base, Basic White Layer, Garden Poetry Layer

ACCESSORIES: Service Essentials Dies, Dimensionals, Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers

I hope that you enjoyed today's card, if you would like to join us in making Veteran Thank You cards, all you have to do is making cards using Red, White & Blue. Either in papers or ink. White piece for the inside but don't stamp anything. No envelopes. Nice and simple. Contact me and I will give you my address to either send them to me or drop them off.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cindy

Thinking of You with the Framed All Around

 If you remember on Sunday, March 15th going into Monday, March 16th, we had a blizzard! We had 20 inches of snow on Sunday. My husband and I have lived at our place for 44 years and couldn't recall ever getting that much snow in a 24 hour stretch. As I write this, we have a lull in the storm but it supposed to start back up tonight. We are in a blizzard warning until 7 a.m., Monday morning. So I decided to play and stamp!

Card - Thinking of You

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Framed All Around (Online Exclusive March 2026, #167221)

INK: Pool Party, Smokey Slate, Memento Black

PAPER: Smokey Slate Base, Petunia Pop Layer, White Layer & Inside

ACCESSORIES: Petunia Pop Faceted Dots, Stampin' Blends in Petunia Pop, Granny Apple Green; Wink of Stella (Flowers) and Stampin' Up! brushes

This card was fun to make, a person forgets that you don't need all of the "gadgets" to make a really beautiful card. It was just stamping, some coloring and brushing. The idea for this card came from Stampin' Up!, I just changed it just a bit so that I could call it my own. This was a good way to get the juices flowing.

So if you ever stuck, open up the Stampin' Up! website to inspire you. Here is my link: Cindy's Stamping Studio 

Have a great day!

Cindy

Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Veteran Thank You Cards

 I have been getting Veteran Thank You cards, and wanted to spotlight the cards and creators. We have cards from Denise Wieger who lives in Colorado. Denise has been making Veteran cards for me, this is her second batch of cards, they are just wonderful!

I hope that the cards that Denise sent me will inspire you to make some of your own. If you want to send them to me, that would be wonderful, but if you can't make them to share with your local Legion Post. If you would like more information, contact me and I can fill you in on what we are doing.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cindy

Stampin' Up! - Simple Designs, Organized Space

 

Creative Challenge: Visually Clean and Simple Projects

This month’s Creative Challenge focuses on clean and simple designs (though not necessarily easy to create). Teach your customers these three principles: Embrace negative space—a neutral palette and white-on-white layers leave plenty of breathing room. Add subtle texture—“clean” doesn’t mean “technique-free”; tap a Stampin’ Blend against a Bone Folder or rough up the edges of a layer for light distressing. Cluster elements to the power of three—group a trio of elements to create a single, clear focal point (e.g. background stamping + images + sentiment). Thanks for stopping, I hope that you enjoyed today's card.
