Hi everyone and thank you for stopping by.

This was my second FB live and I made 2 cards using the Fragrant Flowers bundle from the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog.

After my live we were able to see the online version of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! You guys I am loving the new products. The new in colors and the color refresh.  You guys are going to love it.

Sadly, this bundle WILL RETIRE!

Another product I am very sad is on the retiring list is POLISHED PINK! I love this color. Is one of my favorite pinks, personally I think Melon Mambo should of retired, but it is what it is. The new pink we are getting will help me get over it. (I hope.)

Welp, without further due, these are the cards I made using this SOON TO BE RETIRE bundle. Hope you guys feel inspired and create a card or more.

Alright friends, until next time STAY CRAFTINATED!

 Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by.

I finally faced one of my fears I WENT LIVE ON FB!

I was beyond nervous, but I think it went well. I cannot believe it took me about 30 minutes to make the "landscape card, gone portrait" (lol.) I hope you guys get a chance to make it, it is not that difficult to make.

I did notice that I forgot to explain a lot of things. You guys, when you go live amnesia becomes your best friend; followed by the um's.

However, I did not finish all three cards on my live so, if you keep scrolling down you will find the pictures of the cards.

One thing I will work on is my timing, I really don't want to keep you longer than an hour, but let me know what you guys think. It is difficult to finish 3 cards in an hour, specially if you have a lot of techniques on your cards. So I am thinking of making 1 card now. Focus on one and show you some more card samples, using the same stamp set, or the technique.

On my FB Live I used one of the new online exclusive bundles, Irresistible Blooms.  

You can find it here--- Online exclusives

or

What I like about this bundle is the dies. They are so versatile and you can do so much with them. 

If you watch my video, you will be able to see the "tips" I gave. Make sure to check it out.

Here are the cards I created, or that I was. 

Here is the fun fold, "landscape card gone portrait."

 I was scrolling through YouTube and saw this awesome video by, Marisa Alvarez over on the Kitchen Stampers. I am glad I saw it and decided to try it out.

Now is your turn to give it a try. 

I hope to see you next week for my 2nd FB LIVE. I know it will get better, and hope you can join me every Wednesday at 11am central time.

Hope you have found some inspiration and if you have any questions regarding any products I have used or just in general please feel free and reach out. I will be more than happy to help.

Lovely In Linen Bundle 

 I made these cards when I was invited by my upline's Alejandra Gomez (Creating with Allie) and Jennifer Cotton (The Stamp Therapist), to be a display stamper. This was after our local Onstage event in Arlington, Tx, back in November 2022. It was an amazing event that Stamping' Up! hosted and it was nice to meet new people that have the same love and interest over paper and stamps. This is our way to relax and destress; I am glad I have found others that have that same passion.

with my Upline's

Alejandra Gomez (Creating with Allie)

Like I said, it was an awesome event, and happy to see others reach and keep working on their goals. They are all an inspiration, truly.

Well now let's take a look at the cards.

All of the cards are products that are in a the current catalog May 2022-May 2023 

Cards size is 4 1/4"x 5 1/2" 

 You can watch by clicking on the video or keep scrolling to see the pictures.

I usually begin with CASE'ing (copy and share everything) the catalog. Specially when I feel tired, and just overwhelmed with our every day live duties. 

DON'T EVER feel ashamed of CASE'ng the catalog, honestly the ideas are there and when you make it, you get inspired to create more or just change the card layout. Point is you made time to create and just ease the mind.

Here are the cards I started with and from there I got in my "zone".
