Everyday Beauty Stampin' Up! Kit

 I was able to make another Stampin' Up! Kit as I was healing and needed to take it easy. It is called the Everyday Beauty Kit, a kit with everything to make 9 cards. The kits are so nice, the stamp set, stampin' spot, all of the embellishments, dimensionals and matching envelopes


I think that the cards turned out just awesome! Even though this kit is retired, doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy myself.

Know someone who would like to make cards but make the investment? A kit is the perfect answer, just go to my website and select Kits to see all of the cards offered.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cindy

Stampin' Up! Wow Tip: Mirror Stamping



Wow Tip: Mirror Stamping
Let’s say you have a cute, little bee stamp facing in one direction, and you would like to give it a friend. How could you make it work? Mirror (AKA Reverse) Stamping will bring these bees together!

 Step 1: Die cut a heart shape from Basic White Cardstock. Then, stamp the bee image with Memento ink on a Silicone Craft Sheet. Note: This technique will also work with the new Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad, now available for preorder.

Step 2: Place the die-cut heart on the stamped image and rub it with your finger to transfer the image.

Step 3: Stamp the image again on the heart so that the bees are facing one another.

Veteran's Thank You Cards Reminder

 It's May already and that means that you are running out of time if you still plan to get me your Veteran's Thank You cards. But I know that life happens, so if you are not able to get me your cards by June 1st, I can save them until next year.

For your inspiration, here are cards that I received from Lisa Susa:




And from Linda Jachmistal:



And from Lorraine McNemee and her granddaughter:





As you can see, they are all so beautiful, I thank everyone that contributed to this great cause. I have been in contact with my contact from Badger Girls who will write the messages on the inside for the Honor Flights out of 5 different hubs in Wisconsin, she can't wait to see what we came up with.

If you would like to help, there is still time. Here are the guidelines:

  • Red/White/Blue colors (Either in cardstock, design or ink)
  • White piece of cardstock on the inside (For messages that they write) We don't write the messages.
  • Does not have to be all Stampin' Up!
  • Clean and simple is great!
  • No Envelopes
  • Deadline is June 1, 2026
Thank you so much, everyone has exceeded my expectations and I love you for it!
Cindy
