This video by Megan Daves was recently brought to my attention. I’ve watched it and I had some new plates in my drawer so I’ve been using them this way and….Meg is right – this really does work!!
For today’s post, I want to share this news with you to help you have a more enjoyable stamping journey!
To get you started the Cutting Plates #150815 are available in my Stampin’ Up! store here!
This sympathy card lets the Designer Series Paper (DSP) do all the work! All I needed to add was the Well Written Die “Sympathy” and stamp the Well Said “Heartfelt” in a coordinating colour to be cut out with a Stitched So Sweetly Die. I left the inside of the card blank so I could write a special message of condolence.

Work in progress!
Now that “Love Day” has passed for another year, I want to share a couple of special cards that arrived in my mailbox recently! I mailed all of the Valentine cards I had without taking any pictures – 😞!
So, for this time, I’m going to share these cards received from friends. Each card has a caption indicating who deserves the credit.

Whenever we travel, we like to visit the local shops. We don’t usually buy – just do a lot of looking, sometimes take a picture so we can remember what we saw but sometimes we do make a purchase to take home with us! This was one of our purchases from a little store in Rosebud, Alberta! I have always enjoyed music and loved playing in a band with my Dad and my Brothers so when I saw this on display, I knew exactly where it would enhance our home!! We had a large, blank wall next to our stairs – now it has some colour and texture on it!

Here’s a sample of a Happy Retirement card using a tropical destination theme! I think we’ve all dreamed of traveling when we retire and spending some of those extra found hours relaxing under a palm tree or two. That idea is what I used to design this card for a recent custom order. My customer and I were both pleased with the results!

This is just the cutest Little Ladybug that you can only get with a qualifying order of $375.00 (CAN) and now you can also purchase the coordinating dies!! I’ve seen it used for birthday cards, thank you cards, welcome baby cards, get well cards, and I’m sure there are others that I haven’t found yet!

I schedule a monthly card class and at least one other class where customers make a variety of unique cards with products from the current Stampin’ Up! Catalogues.
Customers are required to register prior to the specified RSVP date so I will know how many kits to prepare.
The kits include all the cardstock pieces required to prepare the sample cards as well as an envelope to use to mail their completed creation.
Sometimes additional pieces are required to be stamped and cut with a die cutting machine like a Big Shot. The customers get to use the die cutting machine for cutting and/or embossing and they are amazed to see how it works and the resulting changes that happen to the cardstock.
Class sizes are limited to 8 people so each will get individual attention and be allotted a suitable space for creating. Customers are asked to bring their own adhesives (tape runner, glue dots, dimensionals, liquid glue); Stampin’ Piercing Mat and Silicone Mat (if they have it) – everything else is supplied.
I’m pleased to say that most of the customers who attend my classes do return for another class within 6 to 8 months!
Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come.
Here’s another sample using the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set. I think it proves that you don’t need a lot of colours to make it beautiful! We made this particular card in my Sympathy Card Class although it would certainly be easy to change the greeting and use it for Happy Birthday, Get Well Soon or Happy Mother’s Day!
