FEBRUARY CLASS, CLUB AND SUBSCRIPTION

Simply Beautiful

Registration is now open until January 15, for my February Simply Beautiful Club, Class, and Monthly Tutorial Subscription. This one is shaping up to be extra special. I am designing elegant, beautifully layered cards using the Simply Beautiful bundle.

The class fee includes kits for three cards along with half a package of Beautifully Adorned Ephemera, a package of Pearlized Faceted Circle embellishments, and a 6×6 assortment of the Lovely & Beautiful specialty designer paper. 

You can join me virtually on February 5, in person on February 7, or attend the Club In Person session on February 6.  Registration is open January 1–15 and the class "free with a minimum $75 order" must be placed during that time. 

I am not finished creating all of the cards yet, with two more designs still to come, so be sure to stay tuned for sneak peeks and surprises you will not want to miss.

Tuesday, January 6
.I went live at 7:30pm (PT) and created a fun fold card using the Beautifully Celebrated bundle paired with the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Paper. This project is a perfect example of letting gorgeous designer paper take centre stage while still delivering an interactive card with plenty of “wow.” Simple to assemble, yet extra special when opened, it’s a layout you’ll want to keep in your favourites.

Wednesday, January 7
My Wednesday newsletter landed in inboxes bright and early at 8:00am (PT). It’s always such a joy to connect midweek and share what’s happening in my craft room.

No live this day. I shuffled my Petals of Beauty class over to Wednesday

Thursday, January 8
We celebrated a very important occasion — dear hubby Ted’s birthday. Some celebrations simply can’t be rescheduled.

Saturday, January 10

My Silver Sisters and I put on another virtual Super Team Event for our Teams. 13 Demonstrations, Challenges, and Inspiration, and it was all FREE for over 300 Team Members.

Monday, January 12
Back live at 7:30pm (PT), I created a soft and elegant card using the Simply Beautiful bundle paired with the Beautifully Celebrated dies. The gentle combination of Bubble Bath and Soft Sea Foam set a calm, graceful tone, while the layered florals added beautiful depth. One simple choice made all the difference — stamping with Pecan Pie instead of Memento Black gave the imagery a much softer, more delicate look. Whether you watched live or caught the replay, this project is filled with ideas you can easily adapt for your own handmade cards.

Tuesday, January 13
II went live on Facebook and YouTube to share one of my favourite styles of cards, a clean white-on-white design with pops of Petunia Pop and Granny Apple Green using the Simply Beautiful bundle. This card is all about subtle layers and letting the colour do just enough work to make the design stand out. If you missed the live demonstration, the replay is waiting for you below or on my YouTube channel, where you can watch the card come together step by step and gather ideas to try on your own projects.

Wednesday, January 14

I will be live on Facebook and YouTube to share a beautifully layered floral card created with the Petals of Beauty and Words of Beauty bundles from the Brushed With Beauty Suite. This design features patterned paper, soft pearl accents, and a touch of vellum tucked behind the die cuts to add depth and softness without overwhelming the card. 

If you miss the live demonstration, the replay will be available on my YouTube channel, where you can watch the full process and pick up ideas you can easily use on your own handmade cards.

Thursday, January 15

I am really looking forward to our upcoming Team Stamping & Recognition Night. This evening is all about stamping together, celebrating achievements, milestones, birthdays, and stampaversaries, and taking a moment to recognize the amazing things happening across our team. Whether you come to create, to cheer others on, or simply to connect, this is always such a special night. Want to join us? Just join my team (link is below) and you can be part of our Stampin' Up! Family.

Friday, January 16

Look for the Friday Recap on Facebook for replays of this week's live demonstrations.

Saturday, January 17

On Saturday, I will be hosting our monthly scrapbooking class, and this month we are creating the Remembering Christmas Kit. This class is all about enjoying the process of putting memories together, and each scrapper will go home with a completed mini album ready to be filled with cherished photos. It is always such a fun and relaxed way to spend time creating and preserving memories, and I am really looking forward to scrapping together.

Sunday, January 18

I will be heading to our local Seniors Community for my monthly class, where we’ll be spending time together creating some beautiful handmade cards. These classes are always such a highlight for me, filled with creativity, conversation, and lots of smiles as everyone puts their own personal touch on each project. It’s a wonderful way to share the joy of cardmaking and connect through crafting.

Monday, January 19 | LIVE at 7:00pm (PT)
I’ll be live at 7:30 pm (PT) on Facebook and YouTube creating this beautiful card using the Petals of Beauty bundle paired with the Brushed With Beauty Designer Paper. This project has such a lovely, soft feel with layered details that really bring the design together, and I’ll be sharing tips along the way to help you get the most out of these products. I’d love for you to join me live, or you can catch the replay if that works better for you.
