Happy 11th Birthday!


I needed to make 3 cards for some special boys' birthdays that are happening this week - an 11 year old, a 15 year old and one who is... a little bit older! This is the 11 one... can you believe my nephew Miles is 11?! He's a big fan of dogs, as you can probably tell from this card! 

The patterned paper is a Sneak Peek from the Sept-Dec Catalogue, called Painted Patch. I've embellished with a few Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers. The sentiment is from the Banner Sayings Bundle.

Hello Hot Foil!








Have you seen Stampin' Up!'s new Hot Foil System? It's been all over the internet since it was released a few weeks ago. I've bought the system and I've been having lots of fun turning everything shiny! I'll be sharing some of my projects soon!

Check out the video to see the system in action:

Here are a few answers to questions you might have (Download the full pdf Q&A HERE) 

What is hot foiling? Hot foiling is a technique that uses heat and pressure to transfer metallic or coloured foil onto paper, cardstock, and more. The result is a shiny, professional-looking finish, similar to what you see on luxury stationery or packaging. You can experiment foiling on different materials to see what shines. 

What tools do I need for hot foiling? You’ll need: Stampin’ Hot Foil System; Specially-made hot foil dies (IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling, and you cannot die cut using foiling dies); Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls; Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (NOTE: the platform will not fit in the old Big Shot Machine)

What kind of foil should I use? Use Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, which are specifically made for the Stampin’ Hot Foil System. 

What materials can be hot foiled? Hot foiling works best on: Two-Tone Cardstock; Smooth cardstock (Basic White cardstock works great!; Stampin’ Up! vellum; Designer Series Paper; Window Sheets; Pearlized Specialty Paper. Always test small samples first. Porous or textured papers can yield inconsistent results. 

How does hot foiling differ from heat embossing? While both techniques are high on “wow” factor, the hot foil finish is smoother and shinier, where heat embossing is slightly raised.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Happy 15th Birthday!


I needed to make 3 cards for some special boys' birthdays that are happening this week - an 11 year old, a 15 year old and one who is... a little bit older! This is the 15 one... can you believe my nephew Leo is 15?! He's probably a little old for cute penguins, but too bad, I'm not!! This penguin is from the Wild Bunch Product of the Month stamp set.

August Product of the Month


WHAT IS PRODUCT OF THE MONTH? 
If you love exclusive products, you’re going to love Product of the Month, a promotion centred around a special product release every month. The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogues or our Online Exclusives. 

Every month a new item will be released that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly—once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good! They can be unlocked for just $9 with a single order over $125 (after discounts and rewards). 

August's Product of the Month is the beautiful Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper:


Bring gentle shimmer to your projects with the Glow of Harvest 12"x12" Specialty Designer Series Paper. Autumn-inspired patterns of leaves, acorns, and florals are paired with a warm palette of browns, beige, and soft orange, while a fine shimmer adds depth and interest to every sheet. Perfect for card making and scrapbooking, this paper adds texture and seasonal warmth to handmade designs. 

The Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Papert is the exclusive Product of the Month for August 2026, available only while stocks last! It's bound to be popular, so grab yours for only $9 with a $125 order!

Balloon Birthday


I needed to make 3 cards for some special boys' birthdays that are happening this week - an 11 year old, a 15 year old and one who is... a little bit older! This is the 'older' one. One of the things I love about balloons is that they work for any age, and any gender. These balloons are from the Balloon Festoon bundle. 
The patterned paper is a Sneak Peek from the Sept-Dec Catalogue, called Painted Patch. In the background is the Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder, and I've embellished with a few Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers. The sentiment is from the Banner Sayings Bundle.

Violet Dreams Card Set


This week I've shared some cards that I made using the Violet Dreams Suite, which is part of the July Online Exclusives release. These cards were all made using the Designer Series paper, which has delicate violet florals, polka dots, soft stripes, and coordinating precut pieces of blooms and leaves to layer on cards, scrapbook pages, and other projects.

There's 2 sheets of die-cuts in the pack, which go a long way. I haven't bought the co-ordinating stamp set yet, but I'm keen to buy it so that I can make violets in other colours too!

How cute are these In Color Butterflies? I have to stop myself using them on everything!
