Looking for quick, creative projects? Stampin’ Up! just released two brand new kits—one for fun pop-up cards (perfect for kids or beginners!) and another for easy, all-in-one scrapbooking. Both are great for crafting on the go or when you just want to make something beautiful without the fuss.

Introducing the Virtual Album Retreat, a brand-new event that’s unlike anything Stampin' Up! has ever done before! 

1. Tear Toward You for Texture
Want that soft, white edge? Tear the paper toward you to reveal the paper’s inner core—especially effective on patterned paper or coloured cardstock.

2. Tear Away for Subtle Edges
Prefer less contrast? Tear away from you for a smoother, cleaner look with less exposed white.

3. Use a Ruler for Control
Hold a ruler firmly in place and tear along it for a more controlled, straight-ish tear with natural edges.

4. Try Layered Tearing
Tear both edges of a strip of paper for a “ribbon” of texture—great for layering or adding motion, like waves or mountains.

5. Embrace the Imperfection
Don’t stress about getting it perfect—uneven tears often add charm and movement to your design!

Normally I go LIVE Fridays at 3 PM Eastern with a new project. This Friday, I'll be away, but I have a video ready for you to view at my regular time!
