It’s a balmy -1 in Montreal today – I’m sure people were tempted to go out in shorts!! It’s been so cold here that -1 seems like spring weather 😛
I have been really loving the new trend of water color that has been making a strong come back in the crafting community. Stampin Up has a beautiful new collection of watercolor inspired DSP (“designer series paper”), which inspired me to make this card, which will be featured as a project at my next workshop
Thank You Stampin Up DIY Watercolor Thank You Card
I used my water brush along with ink pads and watercolor paper to create the middle panel. THe base is crumb cake and the stamp is one of our great photopolymer sets “Another Thank You”

The sun is shining in Montreal today, but it’s still a frost MINUS 19!! Yikes. I miss summer 😛 Which is where I got the inspiration for this card. Created for a birthday card challenge, using Stampin Up colors Chocolate Chip and Pistachio Pudding. The name of the colors inspire the ice cream theme, and I wanted to create something fun – this is what I came up with:

Using “Santa’s List” and “Wishing You” along with Cherry Cobbler ribbon – I created this card with a quick & easy to replicate design. Stay tuned as I will be posting the tutorial soon! Happy holidays stampers! ❤
I was so excited when Stampin Up came out with these Thinlit flip-it style cards. Each thinlit comes with various accessory dies. I was super excited when I figured out that the scallop that comes with the circle thinlit bundle is exactly the same as the largest scallop punch (which I did not yet own)
Using the circle thinlit bundle, I made this card using the owl punch. It is a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to cut the second layer, but once I figured it out I was quite happy with the result.
Once I make a few more of these cards, I will be posting a tutorial using these thinlits. Be sure to stay tuned for that!
TIPS & TRICKS (PART 1)
I have found that if you use a 12×12 sheet of paper you will have considerably less paper waste / scraps left over.
For the base, if you do NOT have a magnetic platform for your Big Shot, cut a piece of paper 1/8″ longer than needed
For the second layer – I cut the crumb cake at 5 1/2 x 5, then trimmed any excess of the top & bottom
You can use your 2 1/2″ circle punch for the middle circle – it will leave about a 16th of an inch space as you can see below
The scallop die is exactly the same as the 2 3/8″ scallop punch in the annual catalog
It’s summer time in Montreal, and it is HOT outside! NOTHING makes a kid scream louder than hearing the ice cream truck coming down the road.
I was inspired by a card made by Andrea on her website, this card just has summer written all over it. I have sold this card to stores, and I personally just LOVE this card, so I wanted to share the love by creating a tutorial for you!

Stampin Up Ice Cream birthday card made with Cupcake builder punch & pennant parade punch
A friend of mine recently asked for a custom card for a beach side wedding she was attending. I knew that it just had to be the “By The Tide” set by Stampin Up… I just didn’t know WHAT, or HOW.
Here is what I came up with after quite a bit of tinkering:
I recently made this card for one of my stores that I sell to – it is such a fun card to make!!!
Using Stampin Up’s “Pun Fun” (now retired), I colored the rocket with water color pencils, fussy cut it then popped it up on the base. Using the stamp itself for revference, I hand drew all the little details in fine pointed black pen. Sentiment is from Paper Smooches.
The sizzix Flip-It die was sued to make the base & layers – I trimmed a second color (daffodil delight) down to fit.
**QUICK TIP ON HOW TO CORRECTLY USE THE SIZZIX FLIP-IT DIE**
Have you found that the die was cutting all the way through your card stock – or that the flip-it die cards were falling apart at the scored lines?! I did. It was heartbreaking to go through all the work to make the card just to have it fall apart. So I did some research:
Use ONE cutting plate and your CREASE pad!!! Youtube video’s and other websites will tell you to use two standard cutting plates, but that second plate is what makes the difference.
Put your crease pad on the bottom, your Sizzix Flip-It die in the middle, then your card stock and your cutting plate on top. That should fix any cutting through, or tearing of your scored folds.
