Today is a very special day as I celebrate my 20th

Today is a very special day as I celebrate my 20th Stampin’ Up! Anniversary! 💕 Twenty years ago, I joined this incredible journey with a love for creativity, paper crafting, and sharing handmade inspiration. I could never have imagined the friendships, memories, and opportunities that would come from saying “yes” all those years ago.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. To my wonderful customers, thank you for supporting my business, attending classes and events, and allowing me to be a part of your creative adventures. To my amazing team members, thank you for your friendship, encouragement, and for sharing your passion for crafting alongside me. To my loyal followers, thank you for cheering me on, engaging with my projects, and inspiring me every day.

And a very special thank you to my hubby, whose support, patience, and encouragement has helped make this journey possible. Your belief in me has meant more than words can express.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve shared countless cards, projects, retreats, classes, and creative moments, but the greatest gift has been the connections and friendships built along the way. I am truly grateful for every person who has been part of this incredible chapter.

Here’s to celebrating the past 20 years and looking forward to many more years of creativity, inspiration, and crafting together! 🥂✨

Today, the Color Fuser designers are celebrating the beautiful new Stampin’ Up! 2026–2028 In Colors, and I couldn’t resist featuring @stampinupofficial ‘s Hydrangea Hue—the very first color I selected for my In Color Club!

For my project, I created a sweet little square card holder that’s both fun and practical. It holds four coordinating cards. Even though I’m away this week, I still wanted to join in the challenge and share a little creative inspiration with you all.

Hydrangea Hue has quickly become one of my favorites with its soft, elegant charm, and it pairs perfectly with the Bloom Boutique Suite Collection. More details are on my blog.

Be sure to hop along and see how the other talented Color Fusers designers are showcasing these gorgeous new In Colors. You’re sure to find plenty of inspiration along the way!
