Hello Stampers!   One of the joys of my job as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is the "good fortune" to receive handmade cards from friends and fellow stampers. One of my team members, Jean Uphoff, gave me this fun card recently.   She used the Fortunate to Know You stamp set offered in Stampin’ Up!’s Occasions Catalog. I love the way she has the fortune coming out of the cookie. Jean used the Stampin’ Blends to add color to the card. Thanks, Jean!   Thanks for stopping by today.   Kim

Hello Stampers!   Often, many of us find it challenging to create masculine-themed items to recognize the guys in our life. Stampin’ Up! makes it easy with its True Gentleman Suite of products. With everything from Designer Series Paper to a stamp set to a coordinating punch and some fun corduroy ribbon, the matching products help in the creating process.   I love these Mini Pizza Boxes because they hold everything from a gift card to a cookie and chocolate and more. You get eight boxes for $6 (#144645).   Using the Stampin’ Trimmer, I cut one piece from the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper in a square at 3 3/8 inches, just under 3 ½...

Hello Stampers!   Getting ready for a masculine card class this week, and Stampin’ Up!’s Truly Tailored Bundle fits the bill perfectly.   The True Gentleman Designer Series Paper’s images and colors (Night of Navy, Tranquil Tide and Crumb Cake) provide just the right background. And the Truly Tailored stamp set’s image are definitely geared toward the guys in your life.   With today’s card, I added the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp and the Pocket Framelits. I just think it’s cool the sunglass images coordinate so well.   It’s just a fun card perfect for a variety of occasions.   Thanks for stopping by today!   Kim
