March 2020 3-D Bundle Tutorial



Hello everyone! It's March,  and we have another fantastic new offer for you!  It's a 3-D Tutorial Bundle!

 My additional project is a collage of cards using the Best Dressed Suite  paper and dies. 


This paper is so beautiful and versatile. Look at the variety of cards that I made! There are note cards on the right, 2 cards on the left, and the over-sized card in the middle. 

Note Cards: I used the Best Dressed 3"X 3" decorated with the purses, flowers, and lipstick cut from the matching paper. The envelopes are scalloped and pretty.These can be used when one needs a quick card to put in a gift bag.

Top Card: This Easy Suspension card was inspired by FlutterbyHeidi. I changed the bow and the paper. This is a cool style to try.

Bottom Card: This was CASE'd from Dawn Bourgette's Onstage Presentation. It features tone-on-tone stamping and decorated with a yellow pair of shoes stamped, die cut and colored with Daffodil Delight Blender pens.

Oversized Card: This stunning card  CASE'd from Karina's Kreations features one of the signature pieces of Designer Paper from the Best Dressed Suite. I used the adorable Best Dressed Tassels, Whisper White Crinkled Ribbon, and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. These are must have dies that enhance any project. 

I hope I have encouraged you to try out this suite which is appropriate for all the women in your life!

Kylie's Demonstrator Blog Hop December 2019


Dec. 16th, 2019

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up Demonstrator Monthly Team Blog Hop.We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up business and reach some goals we have set. We appreciate your support!

You may be starting here or have come from another blog; either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today.



This home decor piece was fun to make and give away. It was well received. So grab the letters from the big box store, and decorate away. There are so many options, as well as color options. I have made sets in blue, green, and red. I was able use items in supply stash, such as retired Stampin' Up paper. No matter the color, the steps are the same.

1. Start with selecting the color palette. Paint the wooden blocks with acrylic paint. Please spend a little more to get better coverage. I tried a cheaper paint, but the more expensive paint delivers a better product.

2. Trace the letters on the Brightly Gleaming Designer Paper. Another suggestion is to turn the letters over, and put on the backside of the paper.   Trace around the letters and cut inside the pen marks.

3. Brush Modge Podge on the front of each letter. Lay on the paper letter, one at a time. Let dry. Modge Podge at least one if not two layers over each letter.

4. Decorate with gold foil  flourishes from the Stitched Stars Dies and attach with Mini Glue Dots.  Stars on the "O" uses a Night of Navy Star,  a Mossy Meadow star, and a decorative gold foil star.  Attach with Mini Glue Dots.

5. Here are some other examples that I made.



This same procedure could be used with other words or letters. My next Modge Podge project will be  OSU for my sister-in-law! She loves the Oaklahoma State University Cowboys and the brightest  orange in the world! I will start with Cajun Craze, Basic Black, and Black Foil!

Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop November Advent/Christmas Countdown Project Kit


November 11, 2019

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up Demonstrator MonthlyTeam Blog Hop.We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up business and reach some goals we have set. We appreciate your support!

You may be starting here or have come from another blog; either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today.

Here is the project that I have for you today. This is Craft Coach Laurie's 2nd blog post. Little by little I am getting my toes wet!

Today's project is the Christmas Countdown Project Kit.
This awesome kit went together in less than 2 hours! This is how I started, though.
This very sturdy set comes with everything seen in the above picture. I punched out the numbers and the laid out the pre-cut papers how I wanted the layout. I used a couple decorative stamps to add detail. I adhered the papers with snail. I added the given embellishments and popped up the numbers with dimensionals. I finished off the kit with the Ruched Red Ribbon on the top to complete the look. I then added candy and various Legos from a Lego Advent Calendar to each box. My husband took this to work, and it is sitting in his team's work area until December. Since the Coffin Wreath was such a hit, I decided to send this in for advertisement, plus a well received gesture.They love it! They will have to share and take turns opening each drawer as they count down to Christmas.

***For an extension, one could turn the drawers around and use for counting one's blessing for Thanksgiving, to celebrate one's birthday, or even a count down to a big trip to Disneyland for the kids. Whatever your use, you will have putting this together. Be sure to save your box that it comes in. I am going to save my kit so I can use it for many years to come!

Thanks you so much much for coming by today!  Be sure to leave me a note that you came by!
