Join me for classes, ideas, and all sorts of sharing! I’m a nurse by day, but at night, I love to create!

I am an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for Stampin’ Up!, a premiere percrafting company that has more than 30 years experience providing quality rubber stamping and scrapbooking paper products, inks, stamps and tools!  I love Stampin’ Up! and will be sharing ideas that you can duplicate in your own papercrafting space.

On April 30th, 2023, I will be celebrating 15 years with Stampin’ Up!  I teach papercrafting classes in my home in Lynnfield Massachusetts, and I try to do weekly facebook lives (uploaded to YouTube!) that feature different products that Stampin’ Up! carries. These FB lives are meant to inspire and teach.  I love what I do and I love to share my inspiration with you! I can also help with scrapbooking or gift packaging idea

Thoughtful Expressions Stack & Shuffle Cards!

Thoughtful Expressions Stack & Shuffle Cards!

I did my Facebook Live last night and featured 3 cards made with the Thoughtful Expressions bundle. I added a bit of interest though by doing the Stack & Shuffle method. Doesn't that sound like a country line dance or something?! That's the first thing I thought...

My One-Day Retreat this past Saturday!

My One-Day Retreat this past Saturday!

Sorry that I was MIA for a week -- I did 40+ hours in the clinic last week AND ran a one-day retreat! Today, I thought I'd share some pictures! I took a panoramic photo of the room before it got too full of people and bags! Our theme was the Simply Zinnia online...

Easter Lilies … Happy Easter!

Easter Lilies … Happy Easter!

A third card in my Easter class was this lovely Easter Lilies card. It's so clean and simple! Unfortunately, as I was editing my post and buidling the supply list, I realized that the dies are no longer available. I can't see it on the inventory list so it must...

Excellent Eggs Card 1!

Excellent Eggs Card 1!

On my Facebook Live (and in class last week) I featured some Easter stamp sets/bundles. I'm going to share my first card today -- come back tomorrow for Card 2! It's going to be a super-quick post today because I'm already at work, waiting for my first patient to...

Day 2 of Softly Stippled Sale-a-bration DSP!

Day 2 of Softly Stippled Sale-a-bration DSP!

Again today, I'm using the textured patterns of the Softly Stippled Sale-a-bration DSP. One side of the paper has designs and the other side features more solid colors with some texture. I again decided to use the Planted Paradise stamp set that I featured here...

Softly Stippled Meets Planted Paradise

Softly Stippled Meets Planted Paradise

As a demonstrator, one of the perks is that you can preorder before the regular customer. Besides that, another perk is that Sale-a-bration, Stampin' Up!'s annual fabulous sale, lasts for 3 months instead of 2! So, I've already been ordering and achieving! As a perk...
