Thankful Thursday with Wonderful Romance

Floral Romance Card Tutorial
The Floral Romance Designer Series Paper (DSP) is part of the Floral Romance Product Suite and coordinates with the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set.  The large floral image colors beautifully with Stampin' Blends.  If you haven't seen them, be sure to tune in to my Facebook Live Friday morning and I'll show you how.

Thankful Thursday
I have loads of gratitude for my husband and I tell him as often as I can, but today I need to share how wonderful he is.  I was able to take my mom to a Stampin' Up! retreat with a lot of my friends who are fellow demonstrators this past weekend so she could start meeting some people.  I couldn't have done this without him and I certainly couldn't be doing Stampin' Up! without his support either.  Thank you Matt for helping me to be a part of this wonderful community and I'm so grateful my mom will get to be a part of it now as well.

Product of the Week: Wonderful Romance Stamp Set
The Wonderful Romance Stamp Set has three sentiments that are great for many occasions.  It also includes beautiful line-drawn floral images that are excellent for coloring with Stampin' Blends.

Quick Tip Wednesday with Wonderful Romance

Lavender Sentiments Card Tutorial
The Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP) looks lovely with most any sentiment from the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set.  It won't be around much longer, so I'm enjoying it while it's available.  The floral images in the DSP also go well with the floral stamp images in the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set.  

Tip of the Day
Can't find the right size ribbon or trim?  Your thin ribbons can do more than you think!  Double or triple them up on your projects to create a thicker bow, or thicker wrap.  It gives the impression of a thicker wrap or bow.
