Simply Sent on your iPhone


Just released TODAY... Stampin' Up created a card-making application, and it is called Simply Sent! This iPhone app allows customers to create an e-card-from a template or completely on their own-and send it via e-mail or post it on Facebook. And it's free!

While it is not My Digital Studio on a mobile device, it will certainly give you a very small taste of all of the fun and creative things you can do with a full blown MDS download.  We want to get our name and our art out there so more people than ever before will know about Stampin' Up!

Download it from iTunes or the App Store.  After you create a card, you can send it by text message, email it, or share it on Facebook.  I just created this one, for my friend Christina who's birthday is tomorrow.  It took me less than 5 minutes. Try it out!

A Stocking Full of Wishes





We're so glad you could join us for this month's Pals Winter Wishes Blog Hop! We hope you have your holiday wish list ready because today the Stampin' Pretty Pals are sharing some fabulous cards and projects showcasing our must have wish list items! You've probably hopped over from Rae Harper at Wild West Paper Arts, I'm stop number 9 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for Stampin' Up! products from the Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up below and you'll be back on track.

I bought the Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die (124098) last year, but didn't find time to play with it like I wanted to.  I was so excited to see it in the 2012-2013 Full Catalog!!!  These little cuties will be seen on several of my gifts I give this year, some with the Stitched Felt items from last years Holiday Catty (we do have fun ornament ones this year, called Handmade Holidays Stitched Felt, #127832), and some with a stamped image, but all of them will have some kind of fun embossing on them.  I really like the look of the Perfect Polka Dots, but I think my favorite was when I used the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. Perfecto!!!! While I like the looks of the "toes" and "heels" that is also part of the Die, I thought the bottom one looked more "vintage" by keeping it simpler.



One of the must haves that should be on everyone's wish list is MDS2! Nicole Watt used the Snow Festival Countdown Template (128136), which is part of the Remember December Collection Disc (129836) to create the to create the beautiful badges for this hop. She used the recolor tool on the lights and stockings embellishments to customize the look.  Ask me if you want more details on MDS2!Now hop along for more inspiring ideas from Nicole Watt at Impressions by Nicole, stop number 10 on the Pals Winter Wishes Blog Hop!

Wonderfall Thanks

Life has been kind of crazy for me lately.
My blog posts have been few and far between, but I am back on my game now and plan on posting more regularly again.  Thanks for your patience!

I return with a Wonderfall card that I created for my boss.  While he has been as busy and as behind as me, he is still wanting to send thank you cards to the awesome people that made donations for our local Harley Party, a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Topeka.  We decided a Thanksgiving card would be appropriate.


I did a couple of different color combinations.  I just love working with these fall colors, and SU! Orchard Harvest DSP definitely stole my heart with their color palette. 

Island Indigo, Cajun Craze, Lucky Limeade, and Very Vanilla
More Mustard, Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple, and Very Vanilla

Add the Wonderfall Stamp Set, Autumn Accents Bigz Die, and Woodgrain Embossing Folder, how could you go wrong?  For the sentiments, I used the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set with the Bitty Banners Framelits, and then moved to the inside of the card with a greeting from a retired set called Seasonal Sentiments.  I am loving the Framelits, and for the first time, used an Edgelit!  The Large Scallop Edglit was the perfect little touch I wanted under the DSP background strip.
