This one is a 3x3 love note size card using the Blossom Punch and the Mixed Bunch stamp set.



Inking Everything With Becky is a brand new membership site that I have developed with my downline team, Inking Everything. Together we are teaming up to bring you an online event unlike anything you've seen before!

Starting February 1st, twice a day, for two weeks, we will be sharing exclusive artwork designed by myself and 11 creative members of Inking Everything. Each morning we will reveal 3 matching cards featuring a stamp set from the new Occasions Mini Catalog - a standard size, 3x3 size and a card of the designers choice. A tutorial on how to create them will be available for you to download or print. In the afternoon, a matching 3D project will be revealed with a tutorial on how to recreate that project.

For some, this is their first time in the spotlight; while for others it is a trip around the old block. Whatever their journey, they are included in our adventure because their work is high quality and beautifully designed. Please take some time each day to leave encouraging comments, we are sure they will be thrilled!

As a special bonus, some of the designers will be offering kits for their projects. Card kits will contain enough product to make 2 of each of the cards including envelopes; while the 3D kits contain products to make one project. There will be a PayPal link on the tutorial page if a kit is offered. All kits are handled by the designers who will be providing the best customer service. Our goal is to ship kits within 3 days; however, some delays may occur as designers may need to order more product.

Leadership 2012 was incredible! There is nothing like 1400 people loving the same thing you do to get you energized and ready for the new year!



Stampin' Up! is making some changes to the catalog line up. The current Idea Book & Catalog will end in May instead of June. Starting June 1, 2012, Stampin' Up! will release one annual catalog, comparable to (but smaller than) the current Idea Book & Catalog, and two seasonal catalogs, comparable to (but larger than) the current mini catalogs. Each seasonal catalog (formerly knows as Mini Catalog) will be extended a month for 5 months of shopping! Yahoo!!

March 1st we unveiled the brand-new Simply Scored Diagonal Plate, developed exclusively for Stampin' Up! This exciting addition to our Simply Scored line of products is perfect for scoring envelopes, boxes, and more. So exciting!

Speaking of exciting, I got to see my upline and dear friend Suzie Barnes at Leadership! I left her in California when we moved (she just wouldn't come, something about a family, I think) and miss her so much.



She won one of the card contests this year! Go Suzie!!

It's a great time to join Stampin' Up! and my Inking Everything team. During Sale-a-bration the starter kit is only $125! Plus get a FREE gift just for signing up. You can choose from a Package of Designer Series Paper or a Digital Download every month for the rest of 2012! Details HERE.

Inking Everything team members have access to a private blog with information and projects just for them. They enjoy access to all my project tutorials free of charge and have the opportunity to participate in our new Inking Everything With Becky membership site.

Come join us!

3x3 Coffee Cup Cards How-To

What's this? Check it out HERE.



Come on over to Inking Everything With Becky.com, watch the video and get signed up today!



I am home from an awesome Stampin' Up! Leadership in San Antonio, TX. I have pictures to go through and lots to share in the coming days. I received all your e-mails and almost through them all. Seems to be a lot of questions on how to make the 3x3 Valentine Coffee Cup Cards, which is perfect timing since I have that to show you today!



I got a little excited and took this photo before I added the 1/4" strip of cardstock along the middle of the lid and stamped the lipstick on the rim, but you know it goes there, right? You can see it in the photo below. Make sure you add Designer Series Paper to the envelopes. It is a 'wow' little detail!


Packaged in a clear box for BFF.

Four 3x3 coffee cup cards and 4 matching envelopes in the Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper.


Start with cardstock cut to 6" x 2-1/4". Fold in half to be 3" x 2-1/4".


Lay the cardstock in the paper cutter with the fold line on the cutting track and the open end about 1/2" to the right of the cutting track. That black line on the paper cutter is the 1/2" line.


Cut it off to create the angle of the cup.


Turn the card around to the other side and place the fold line on the cutting track and the open end about 1/2" to the right of the cutting track. This time the fold will be on the bottom and the open side will be on the top.


Cut it off. cover with Designer Series Paper and stamp whatever you want on the inside.

The top piece is Whisper White cardstock size is 2-1/2" x 3/4". Round the bottom 2 corners.

I have an extra 1/4" strip of white cardstock adhered the middle of the 'lid' for extra dimension.

Stamp with the S.W.A.K. stamp in the lipstick shade stamp pad of your choice. I usually use Regal Rose but this time I used Poppy Parade.

Gifts For Friends

What's this? Check it out HERE.


Come on over to Inking Everything With Becky.com, watch the video and get signed up today!


The best part of attending Stampin' Up! events is meeting up with friends! I love to make little things to take for little gifts, but this year I decided to do something light and easy to pack unlike other years where I've hauled 3 pounds of chocolate in assorted gifts!


This year I made Valentine's from my favorite coffee cup card. I shrunk it down smaller than the card, smaller that the tags that Lorri Heiling and Penny Smiley made and them little fold over cards that fit perfectly into our 3x3 mini envelopes. They are 2-3/4" tall x 2-1/4" wide.


I used the new Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper coming soon with Sale-a-bration on January 24th and the darling single stamp S.W.A.K. Do you remember putting S.W.A.K. on the back of all your notes and envelopes in high school...maybe I'm dating myself, never mind!




I packaged them in 2's and put them in our small cello bags, made a little topper for them and they are ready for their trip to Leadership!



The topper uses the P.S. I Love You stamp set.

Tiny Composition Notebook

What's this? Check it out HERE.




Come on over to Inking Everything With Becky.com, watch the video and get signed up today!




I have so many of these tiny composition notebooks that I purchased on sale at back to school time, that I thought I better make some of them up so I can fit other things in the drawer! I am such a hoarder of school and office supplies - and I can't part with them!


This notebook is 4-1/2" long and 3-1/4" wide. I embossed the Pear Pizzazz cardstock with the Finial Press Embossing Folder and the Big Shot and adhered it to the front and back cover. I thought the bookmark was enough embellishment, so I didn't do any stamping on it.


The flowers are cut from the new Twitterpated fabric and the Fun Flowers & Blossom Party die-cuts. Ribbon is the new Pleated Satin Ribbon in Baja Breeze with a Riding Hood Red Taffeta bow. It is assembled on a pony tail holder.

For demonstrators, this bookmark style was featured in the Stampin' Success, October issue, as my Workshop Wow for the Boise Regionals. And for anyone, directions are available in the 2010 Edition of the 12 Days of Christmas tutorial available on the right hand side bar or the tutorials page of this blog.
