I’m so very proud of your hard work, Melissa!!! The site looks wonderful, and I’m wishing you so much success.
Congrats! It looks awesome! I found the pics on the Online Stamp club page. So excited the kits have some nice bright colors which are my favorite. On the Join my team page I saw how you stamped your way to Alaska!
Very awesome new site! Found the place cs under the Online Stamp Club page!
The class to go photos are located on your ONLINE STAMPERS CLUB & DETAILS page. One way to get a free class to go is to join your ON LINE STAMPERS CLUB
Great new blog Melissa! Wishing you great success on your FB Live tonight.
About me page – learned that you are married and have 2 daughters
Welcome to my blog page – we can see your recent blogs
Free card kits program page – place a minimum $20 order for 1 kit, get more as orders value increases
In person stampers club page- join other crafters in person to have fun and make cards
On your About Me page I discovered you doing a handstand at Yoga class. And trying to do one on the cruise ship!
In that second photo I’m doing a pose called “L” Pose. It’s kind of how you work up to doing a handstand. That photo was taken on the cruise we took to Bermuda about 3 years ago.
On your Blog link I saw some quilling projects! I did NOT know you did that!
I’ve done just a little bit of quilling. We did do the one project shown as part of club some years back. It was fun to play with! Have you done any quilling?
Cardstock Organization and “Harvesting Card Salad” Pieces: Excellent description on how you organize your CS. Mine is very similar but must store more than 1 color in the cubby. I don’t have the space you have. For CS that has retired I have plastic tubs where I can hang file folders. I can identify each folder with the CS name and store the paper there. I find this very handy because when checking out card ideas on line a lot of times the card maker is suggesting old CS colors. I can then find just what I need very easily. I have not been able to throw away the smaller scraps because you never know when you might need it. I attach a list on the front and lid telling me what colors are in each tub. I have three tubs so you can see I’ve been through a few retirements.
It sounds like you have a great system that works for you! Thanks so much for sharing the details.
I just made a correction to the time on my site. I think I should see a time after I post this comment so we’ll see if it’s correct now. Thanks again for bringing that to my attention.
Very Vintage Hostess Set with Heat Embossing & Collage Stamping: Again this site where you share ideas in making a card is great. Descriptions are very well written and informative. I love how you list all the materials need for the project. Another thing that would be nice is the dimensions of the CS pieces. I know that I can figure the sizes out myself but it would be a nice bonus.
PS – I noticed on my previous comment that the time posted was 1:42 p.m. In reality it is still in the morning here in VA. Time stamp needs fixing. Another P.S. would be that I would love to see how you organize your stamp sets and information on how you can find the stamp you need or want when you have over 200 stamp sets.
Thanks for your comments, suggestions and feedback!
On the topic of Cardstock Dimensions: I do this when I can depending on the time I have on a given day. I always include this information for Club Members and Free Card Kit Recipients in the PDF’s that they receive.
Time Stamp Issue: I will definitely look into that and make that correction! Thanks for letting me know.
Organizing Stamps: Now that’s a much bigger question when you have over 200 stamps! I only keep at close hand sets that are current. I box up, store, sell or give away retired sets so I don’t have the challenge you face with your stamps. Having said that, I can certainly share how I organize my stamps in a blog post or video at some point in the future. I can’t promise when but I will definitely put it on my list of things to do. Thanks for the suggestion.
It’s really 9:58 a.m.
Follow Your Dreams Website Launch Party & Scavenger Hunt: On this page you did include the dimensions for the CS pieces and punch size used on this Card. Great! So helpful. The new web site seems to be very well organized and easy to get around. You are doing a great job.
Dreams: when I went to my first Stampin’ Up party I told my friend, who insisted I go with her, I’m not buying anything just looking. Well 20 years later I am really deep into this hobby. Not only do I stamp for friends and family I also do cards for some of the people in my church. These cards would be for Sympathy, Confirmation, Thanks to staff, Thinking of you for homebound members, etc. That’s where I get the most pleasure. I get feed back from a few on how beautiful the cards are or that it meant a lot to them to receive the card. Although in most instances the recipient doesn’t know who sent the card because it is coming from the church. But I know they are appreciated because I do get comments from those that know who made the cards. So I don’t know if this is a Dream of mine or that I just enjoy creating cards that can make someone happy.
I love your dream and happy to share that I have the pleasure of doing something similar with the card ministry group that I support. I have one club member who gathers a small group of people together every other month to make cards. I prepare materials for the group and all the cards that get made are donated for use at the church. I love to know that these cards are going out to people who need an extra bit of love and care.
wow love the new website! Nicely done…clean with bright colors.
I went to:
ABOUT ME: that you have been with SU 15 yrs…love yoga
BLOG: love the cardstock salad idea
TUTORIAL AND CLASSES; love the black ice technique.
Happy website day,
Barb White
Thanks so much Barb! Thanks for commenting and playing along with the Scavenger Hunt!!!
Great website! I really loved those purple bookmarks. What technique did you use!
Thanks Laurie. I really adore those bookmarks too! It’s a bit of a mixed media style that I was playing with before I really started blogging and sharing. I used, Collage Stamping, Gel Medium and Masking. I have a YouTube Video where I show the collage stamping portion of the project. I never managed to do a video with the next steps but I plan to bring it back soon. The technique and projects are too fun to not share more fully. Here’s a link to the video mentioned above: https://youtu.be/jWdSQIa6bqw

love the blog new z card with the vase set.but the black ice technique with the half full stamp set is fantastic
Just read your blog post about organizing card stock. I’ve been to your treehouse a BUNCH of times, how did I never notice you keep your scraps in page protector sleeves? That’s BRILLIANT!!! I’ve been using and “hoarding” the cellophane bags with the SU logo that the full,packs of cardstock used to ship in. But the page protectors are so much more durable!
I’m switching over all my scrap storage immediately! 😁
I’m so glad you like the page protector idea and are going to use it too!
Found the Class to Go photos on the Online Stampers Club page. Great projects can be free by joining the group and placing minimum orders of 55.00 every other month.
After visiting the Frequently Asked Questions page I was pleasantly surprised to see quilling and journaling projects!
I am also excited about Christmas cards and tags. The 3D look was really great in the example.
A great variety of options!
