Come back this afternoon – I will be sharing news of our Color Refresh as soon as Stampin’ Up! shares it with the demonstrator base! Very exciting!!!
For this week’s Facebook Live, I made three beautiful cards using the Delicate Desert Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! I used sticky notes to hold two of the dies – together – and this created three different pieces tha tI used on my cards. The idea of using the two dies together came from Mary Knabe. I loved her idea and these are my take on the cards! Thanks, Mary!
Here’s a photo of the dies put together. I used a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of gorgeous Dry Brushed Metallic Designer Series Paper and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.
Here is a look at the complete Delicate Desert Suite.
You can see how I created these cards by watching the Facebook Live the replay here:
Card one: Thick Basic White card base with one of the pieces of DSP – the words were stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink and the flowers in Calypso Coral ink. Embellishments were the Gold Faceted Adhesive Backed Sequins, and a bit of Linen Thread. These Gold Faceted Sequins are my thank you gift this month for placing a $50 product order in my online store! Don’t miss out!
Card Two: I used a second piece of DSP , and mounted it on a piece of the Delicate Dsert DSP. For this card, I also added a leaf cropped with Soft Succulent cardstock. Embellishments were same as on the card above. And I love these words as well!
The third card uses the largest DSP frame, and like the card above, I placed this on a piece of the Desert Details DSP.
I
I also used the Coral piece of the Specialty DSP – and did the exact same thing – just to show how both color combinations work! Which is your favorite? I’m not sure which my favorite is!

For this week’s Facebook Live, I shared some Mystery projects that were created at my Overnight Retreat this past weekend! We had so much fun!!! I gave everyone a packet that contained the same products – a white card base, a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and ribbon, and a small piece of DSP. Their assignment was to use the contents of the packet to create a card – they could add products to it, but had to use what I had in the packet. They could die cut, emboss, crop the parts/pieces in any way they wanted.
We lined all the finished cards up and voted for our favorites – and the winner was my sister in law – she is over the top creative and talented! This is her card! She used the retired “Love you to pieces” dies.
If you’d like to see all of the Mystery cards, you can watch the replay here:
And don’t forget about my ordering special! It has been very well received and I still have packets to give away!

My Overnight Retreat is this weekend and it sold out! How exciting is that! If you aren’t one of the lucky ones attending in person, I am offering one of our classes as a “to go” class.
This class is featuring one of my favorite bundles from the January – April Mini Catalog – Nested Friends. It is wonderful and the projects are wonderful too if I do say so myself!
My Bee Box brings a card class to you each month for you to assemble when it’s most convenient for you!
Each Bee Box includes:
- Over $25 in product selected by me especially for this class. You will have lots leftover for more creating!
- 5 Card Kits (5 different designs) Prepped and ready for you to assemble!
- Plus a kit for a 8″ samper as a Bonus Project – or you can adapt it to a card if you’d like!
- A PDF with a photo and measurements for each project. I also offer tips for assembling the projects. I didn’t make videos for these projects, but like I said, I will offer a photo and tips so you will be able to assemble easily!
Here’s a look at the Nested Friends Bundle:
NOTE: You will need the bundle to create the cards – you can add it on to your class fee at catalog price (savings to you!) or you can substitute with a similar stamp set you already own.
Card stock will be prepped and ready for you – you will need to provide stamps/dies, adhesives, and ink.
Add Ons – I offer extra products used for class at catalog price saving you tax and shipping – which is about 16.5%!!
For this month’s Bee Box, the “Adds Ons” include:
Inks – Granny Apple Green, Early Espresso, Calypso Coral
Tools: Wink of Stella; Layering Circle Dies, Old Olive Blends, Stitched Greenery Die; Timber and TImeworn Type Embossing Folders
Each Bee Box is $35 – and if shipping is needed, Priority Shipping is $8.50.
I can ship these anywhere in the US, or if you are local to me, do a local pick up!
Registration will close on March 23 – the Class Packets will be ready for pick up /shipping the first week of April.
Ever tried one of my Bee Box Classes? They are great – but don’t take my word for it!
Here’s what Debbie had to say: “Every card is stunning! The details you put in every card!! Beautiful!!”
and Jackie: “Oh my gosh!!! I didn’t look at the PDF of this class till I recently received my supplies to make them. These are beautiful cards and I’m thrilled I took this class. Where do you get your ideas from, they are just inspiring. Thank you for your vision and offering of this class.”
Thank you, Debbie and Jackie!
