Today in my Stampin' 101 Series, I wanted to show you that if you just added a few embellishments, linen thread and maybe used some dimensionals here and there, what a difference the outcome is.
Oh, my goodness... Here's another card made from the Botanical Texture Suite ... I love, love, it!! I loved the DSP background paper used on the front of the card as well as the inside of the card.
I made this soup last week. It was super easy, and it was really good!! Next time I make it I am going to add chopped ham in with the bacon.
LOADED POTATO SOUP
(PAULA DEAN)
INGREDIENTS
6 SLICES THICK-CUT BACON, CHOPPED
1 MEDIUM YELLOW ONION, CHOPPED
(I used white)
3 TABLESPOONS ALL -PURPOSE FLOUR
2 (32 OZ) CHICKEN BROTH
1 TSP KOSHER SALT
1/2 TSP GROUND PEPPER
4 LBS RUSSET POTATOES, PEELED & CHOPPED
1 C HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM
SLICED GREEN ONION
SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE
In a large Dutch Oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and let drain on paper towels, reserve some of the drippings in pot. Add Onion, cook, stirring occasionally until tender, about 5 Mins. Stir in Flour and cook for 2 mins. Whisk in Chicken Broth, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are very tender, and begin
to fall apart, about 25 mins.
In a small bowl, whisk together cream and 1 cup hot soup liquid, stir mixture into pot, and cook for 5 mins. Serve with Green Onion, Cheese and Bacon.
I usually do a scrapbook page on Tuesday but I'm so excited for this new suite - I want to share as much as I can before March 4th, when it becomes available to you.
I used the Botanical Suite Collection or parts of it to make this adorable card. I found a new embossing folder that I absolutely love!!
Welcome to Video #6 of my Stampin' / Card Making Series. I've showed you the easy way to make cards with kits and Mix & Match products. Now, it’s time to take the next step: Stamping and designing your own handmade cards! For a beginner card maker, the best technique is to start with what we call a SIP Card – Stamps, Ink, & Paper. These three essentials are all you need to create simple yet beautiful cards without overwhelming yourself with supplies.
In this video we will begin by making:
1) Basic SIP Card
2) Adding a layer to make it pop
3) Then we will do a Two-step Stamping technique

If you’re a beginner card maker, just start with one stamp set you like. There are so many great ones to choose from, so find something that you will enjoy creating with. And then grab a simple sentiment stamp set while you’re at it so you can create cards for all occasions. Don't forget your Black Ink and a few of your favorite colors.
Here's a sneak peak of some items that will be available to purchase - March4th, 2025. I will be showing items that you can make with these products in the upcoming week. Please reach out to me if I can be of any assistance.
Making cards doesn't always have to be hard. Sometimes just having dsp paper, cardstock and a simple stamp can create a beautiful card. This suite happens to be one of my favorites. I love the variety of colors that coordinate. It has so many stamping and die cutting options. And the 3D Folder is the absolute best!! I chose Boho Blue Cardstock to back this card but there are so many colors that you could choose from that would coordinate as well.
Birthday Scrapbook Pages are the absolute hardest for me. But this little's party was full of color and dinosaurs and once I started looking at the pictures the wheels started turning. I love it when things fall into place and the page comes together.

I am going to start posting cards made from products that were from my vault - not available to purchase but hey you may have the same products sitting on your shelves and want some ideas. Then I will also be posting cards made from current products that are available at this time. Well, this card uses a little bit of both ... I fell in love with it!!
Welcome to Class 5 of our Stamping / Card Making 101 series! We’ve covered the essentials of card making – stamps, ink, paper and adhesives– it’s time to start creating. Before we dive headfirst into card making, I want to introduce you to a couple of other options - Card Kits.
