Simple Koi Card with Lily Pond Lane Suite

Friends, we've enjoyed keeping fancy goldfish for some years now. They're such interesting and personable creatures! Any other goldfish fans out there?

So at my latest Craft & Chat, I couldn't resist making a simple Koi card with the lovely Lily Pond Lane Suite.

Here's my card:

You can't go wrong with this terrific paper - with just a tiny bit of stamping, it can be made into many different (and adorable!) cards. It's already cut to 6" x 6" so it's really convenient as well. Here's the Lily Pond Lane paper:

Before I go, I want to tell you about a great sale that's on - but just until Oct 10! Have you ever tried a Paper Pumpkin kit? 

It's my favourite kind of kit. I even like the packaging! They always come in a decorative box, and they're even wrapped with tissue paper inside! And it's A LOT better to get a surprise kit every month than just bills in the mailbox!

Just until Oct 10, when a new subscriber signs up for the monthly kit through the mail, they'll get 40% off their first kit! Subscriptions include shipping and can be paused or cancelled anytime, without penalty, so what's not to like? 

Even better, the October kit is a Christmas one, coordinating with the Nests of Winter Suite. Sneak peek of the suite is below!

Album from Trip to Stampin' Up - in Just 2 Hours?

Friends, today I'd like to share with you a scrapbook. I made it to commemorate my trip to the Stampin' Up!®️:

• home office in Salt Lake City, Utah  - where our parcels ship from
• factory in Kanab, Utah - where they make all their stamps, cut all the papers, and assemble all the ink pads
• Backstage Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada - a leadership conference for Silver Elite & up

Above you can see my scrapbook, right before I started putting it together. All I had done at this point, was add a decorative cover.

Want to know a cool secret about this scrapbook? I put it together in just 2 hours! (Yes, really!) To be honest, I am not an avid scrapbooker and have always found it a long process. But the pocket pages make it easy - and quick!

Here's a video of my completed scrapbook:

Would you like to try this method of scrapbooking?

It's a great antidote to starting and half-finishing a scrapbook. No more decision paralysis or unfinished books staring at you from the shelf - and you'll have a completed project for yourself or to give as a gift!

I have an upcoming class called Speed Scrapbooking - Holiday Edition, where we'll complete a book like this in a single session. Choose from Christmas, floral or foliage themes for the pocket cards.

More than Autumn Peppermint Card

Friends, today I'm excited to share another card from the fabulous More than Autumn Bundle.  

If you missed my previous card (spoiler alert: there was pie!), find it here.

And here's today's card, which anticipates the holidays:

Watch my YouTube card demo

This card uses a monochromatic colour scheme - just Cherry Cobbler against a backdrop of white to make the colour pop! 

When I realized I didn't have a Stampin' Blends™ marker in Cherry Cobbler, I pulled out the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2 and Blender Pens as a hack of sorts. The Blender Pens smooth out the colour really nicely!

I hope this project inspires you to try this awesome bundle, too! Did you know I go live on Monday, Wednesday & Friday? Check out the details below!
