Best Catch!

This is a bundle from the new Occasions catalog going live this Thursday the 3rd. It is an awesome bundle for those fishermen out there. I made this card for my Uncle whos birthday was this last weekend. He really liked it!
It comes with 9 stamps and also 9 dies. If you get them together in a bundle you save 10%.
In this suite there is also a great background stamp you can see I have used called Crackle Paint. I stamped the images on shimmery white cardstock. It gives it a little shimmer and works like watercolor paper but is nicer. I then colored them with my re inkers and a water brush.

If you would like to order any of these products starting January 3rd or any other products anytime you can go to the side bar to connect with my online store!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to Everyone! I hope Santa is treating you right!!!! Are you on his nice list??

Here is the last Valentines card for my class next month. I am going to try to use one of the stamp sets out of the current catalog next year for every class or event I do. I feel that the annual catalog gets neglected when the others come out.

I have used the Coffee Café Stamp set and Coffee Cups Framelits from the Annual catalog. I have also used one of the ribbons from the All My Love Ribbon combo pack, All My Love dsp, stamps and dies from the Meant To Be Bundle. The die cut "love" is from the Well Said Bundle. The Well Said bundle is a little spendy but you get 51 stamps in the said with great greetings and saying for the inside of the cards plus 24 dies in the die set with lots of words an some other figures. So you get 75 items in the bundle. It is less than $1 per item.

The last item I used on this project is the saying, it is from the Sale A Bration catalog called Part of My Story. It has some great sayings also!

Gorgeous Foil Sheets!

I love the new foil sheets in the Sale A Bration catalogs. They come in two colors, Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick. You get 4 of each colors in one pack for free with a $50 order. They emboss very nice too. I have embossed the Lovely Lipstick with the new Lace Dynamic embossing folder that is in the new Occasions catalog. I have used the new Forever Lovely and Meant to be stamp sets again. Also Be Mine Stitched Framelits and Lovely Flowers Edgelits.
This is the second project for my Valentines class coming up on January 15th!

Forever Lovely!

Here is a Valentines Card I created for my class next month. It is using the Lovely Flower Thinlits, Be Mine Stitched Thinlits and the Forever Lovely and Meant to Be Stamp Sets. This is called a floating card. Its pretty fun to make.
The ribbon on top is a new ribbon also. It comes with two spools, this one and a thin Flirty Flamingo Satin ribbon.

Wonderful Floral Framelits!

Here is my blue card. I have used the new gingham designer papers, the Wonderful Floral Framelits and a few other yummy goodies from the new upcoming Occasions and Sale A Bration catalogs. This card is made with all Balmy Blue papers, ribbon and ink.

Another Tea Together Card!

Heres another close up of a card I showed previously. I made it with the Tea Together stamps and matching dies. The stamps are in the new Occasions catalog and the dies are free with a $100 order in the new Sale A Bration catalog both going live on January 3rd.
I was stamping and coloring some of these stamps and then made projects with them afterwords. I used the new stitched rectangle dies that are also in the new Occasions catalog on this card and the gorgeous new Lace Dynamic Embossing folder. All of the items on this card will be in the catalogs. I colored the teapot with a watercolor pencil and wink of stella pen. then I stamped the flowers on top with Gorgeous Grape ink and added rhinestones.

Happy Stamping!

Tea Together!

For this lovely card I used the Tea Together Stamp set and dies. The stamp set will be in the new Occasions catalog in January and the Tea Time framelits will be a free item in the Sale A Bration catalog with a $100 purchase. I have also used the Rose Trellis Thinlits die set. The papers and ribbon are also out of the new catalogs.
If anyone knows me very well, they know I love tea things, and this set is my favorite so far that Stampin Up Has put out for us!

Climbing Roses!

I just love this set! These roses are so beautiful! This is a set called Climbing Roses and it will be available January 3rd in the new Occasions catalog.
I  have colored the image with Blends and then cut it out with one of the dies from the Rose Trellis Thinlit set. This is an awesome die set that matches it. I have also used a few dies from another new set. The  Stitched Rectangles, I love these, but they are not like the other sets, squares, circles and ovals. They are all the stitched rectangles but don't have the scallop dies to match like the others. I have just used one size on this card and then popped up the piece I cut out. This way there are two sets of stitches.

Spirited Snowmen!

I love this set. It is called Spirited Snowmen. I have stamped it and colored the image with Watercolor Pencils and Wink Of Stella. I always like to use Wink of Stella with my watercolor pencils instead of water. It works great and gives it a nice shimmer.
The background is embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder and then I put the Gold Paint over the top with a sponge dauber.
I have used some of my snowflakes leftover from the Blizzard Thinlit card I showed yesterday with gold dots on them. Also I die cut the corners from the Dashing Deer Thinlits and put a red rhinestone in the centers. The red rhinestones are also on sale this month for 10% off!

Happy Stamping!

Blizzard Thinlit!

This card was made using the Blizzard Thinlit die. It makes a great background. I have die cut it with white glimmer paper for lots of sparkle. And it also gives you a whole bunch of wonderful snowflakes to use on a project with it or all for another project!

I have layered it over Petal Pink Cardstock and then silver foil paper.. It was so pretty I didn't want to cover very much up!

I have also used the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set for the sentiment. It actually comes in a bundle and you can get them for 10% off if bought together! That's like free shipping! Please use hostess code 3NNQKDK6

Signs of Santa Event Today!

Today is my Signs of Santa Event. There will be 7 projects to choose from and it is going to be Open House style. So people can come and stay longer if they are doing multiple projects.

I wanted to make a little gift for them but didn't know what. I found this adorable sugar cookies at a Bazaar this last weekend and thought they were just adorable. So I made these little pouches for them to go in.

I used the Pop Of Petals stamp set and punch. Also the Sprig punch from the Occasions catalog. 

I hope everyone likes them!

Signs of Santa Never Ending Card!

I don't do videos and the photos don't tell the whole story. But this is a Never Ending Card I made with the Signs of Santa bundle. (I have been calling it Santas Workshop in Error!).
This card just keeps turning and turning. It is a fun card to make but a little time consuming when designing it.
This is one of the projects that will be available at the Santas Workshop class on December 4th. There will be at least 6 projects to choose from all individually priced.
If you would like to order any of these projects you can click on the link to the right to take you to my online store!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Snow Globe!

Here is a fun little snow globe I made using the Santas workshop suite. I had this snow from the dollar store that didn't work for the project I got it for. But it worked perfect for this. Although I added some glitter which I knew better than to use glitter in it. It never works for me. I even wiped it down good with my anti static pad and have used a bounce sheet in the past.

Another Christmas Sampler!

This isn't a great picture but here is another Christmas Sampler I made using the Santas Workshop bundle. I just love all these adorable little characters! Its going to be sad to see them go!

Joy Christmas Sampler!

I had a request for a Christmas sampler. So this is the first one I made. I love these papers but unfortunately they are not available anymore with Stampin Up. I will have enough for a class so that is good.
I did another one with the Santas Workshop bundle I will be showing soon too!
This sampler is much prettier in person.

More Santa's Workshop Fun!

Here is another card I made using the Tutorial from Stamping Gala. I added the little scalloped border but the rest is the same as the sample.
I am having so much fun with this Suite. I have lots more to come with it! The hard part is going to be which of my projects to use for my Santa's Workshop class next month!
Happy Stamping!

Another Santas Workshop Project!

This is another one of the projects I got when I purchased the Tutorial from Stamping Gala. The image is fussy cut out of the dsp and the white circle behind it was run thru the Subtle Embossing Folder.
I love this embossing folder. It lives up to its name. But if you are working on a project and feel it needs just a little something more but not a lot, you can emboss it with this embossing folder for just a little texture.
The background was run thru with an embossing folder also. It has big dots to just give it a little extra something also!

Santas Workshop Treat Bags!

I have been playing with the Santas Workshop Suite this week. I just love this set. There is something about Mr and Mrs Claus plus the elves that are so adorable!!! Also you can die cut a lot of images right out of the designer papers! Speaking of the designer papers, they are awesome!!! So adorable! Lots of fun images you cant die cut but you can fussy cut or use the shape dies to cut them out and layer them with a coordinating cardstock!!!

I bought a 12 days of Christmas tutorial from Stamping Gala! Its really cool. Lots of projects. So these are two little gift bags. I love these little bags for a gift card or small gift or just yummy treats. But the dies are discontinued and now I don't have to have a die for it and I can make it and decorate it with anything!!

For this project, I used some of the images in the dsp that don't have a die. They are cut out with the Stitched Shapes framelits. (My most used set of all!) Then layered with cardstock cut out with the layering circles. The sign post is die cut right out of the paper or you can stamp, color and cut it out also. The ribbon is from this suite also. I know you cant tell by looking at the papers but the dsp has flocking on every sheet.

I am having a Santas Workshop class next month and am trying to decide which projects to use.
In the upcoming days you will see some cards, including a never ending card, a snow globe and maybe even a Christmas sampler!!
Stay tuned and Happy Stamping!

Treat Bags!

Here are all of my bags ready to be filled up for Saturday. I love how these turned out. The polka dot one is my favorite. I really liked the other side too and so I only made one but now I wished I had made all the available ones with polka dots. I used The Country Lane Designer Series Papers with Blackberry Bliss and Mint Macaroon.

They were inspired by Linda Parkers video on facebook!

I had them on my table as I finished them and my silly Kittie came along and tried to take my bows off. He was just sticking his little nose in everything. I had to move them off my craft table to a table he is not allowed on..
Do you wish you were getting one of these??

Last Project!

This is the last project for the Holiday Catalog Premier Party coming up this Saturday.
I saw it on Pinterest and added my own twist to it. I was asked to use the gold snowflakes and stars on a card. I was also wanting to use this gorgeous deer paper from the Joyous Noel papers. It was one of a few I hadn't used yet!

I saw a card with these guys on the cookie sheet on Pinterest and couldn't help casing it. I changed it a bit because with the Holiday Catalog Premier Party coming up this weekend I am getting low on Christmas paper and needed to make 17 of them.
I just think it is so cute!! Also its pulling from the annual catalog which is hard for me when there is so many awesome new products in the Holiday catalog!!
It is made with the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and matching punch!

Halloween Class!

Here are the cards for  my upcoming Halloween Class on October 16th!

I had fun making these cards. I am still only able to make about 1 card a day because I am still recuperating from my surgery. So it took me a little longer than I had planned to get these done!

I love the little ghost die and also the middle card all of the elements were die cut right out of the designer papers. The only stamping on this card was the greeting!

The last card is a more non traditional cards. I used the new Buffalo Check Background stamp on this card. It is stamped with Early Espresso on Coastal Cabana Cardstock!

Happy Stamping!

First Frost Bundle!

I just love this bundle. The whole suite is AMAZING! There is the stamp set and matching dies. Also some awesome designer series papers that all are shimmery! And of course the awesome velvet ribbon.
I have used them all with this suite plus a greeting from Beautiful Bouquet and 2 dies from the Stitched Labels set.
The bow is a new item also called Braided Linen Trim!
If you would like a catalog and don't already have a demonstrator just contact and I would love to get one to you! The new holiday catalog is awesome!

Country Home!

This is a fun new stamp set out of the holiday catalog! It is called Country Home! It has some great images in it!
I have also used the new Tin Tile and Corrugated Embossing folders on this card. I just love the new holiday catalog. It has some great stuff in it!
I colored the flowers with my Blends and fussy cut them out. I did the same with the pitcher. I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede and die cut it with the Stitched Shapes Framelits, then layered it with a scalloped oval cut out of Soft Suede Cardstock.
I finished the card off with some new Braided Linen Trim.

Timeles Tidings Project Kit!

These cards are from the Timeless Tidings Project Kit! You get to make 20 cards for only $20. So that is 20 gorgeous cards for $1 a piece. If you want the stamp set to go with it that would be another $20. That is what I used here. But I am sure a lot of you have Christmas stamps you could use instead if you want to keep your cost down.

You get everything you need to make these cards except ink, dimensionals if you want and adhesive. Lots of people know how I like to embellish but these cards don't even have ribbon on them. 

All 20 cards would have only taken about an hour to put together but I decided to stamp the insides also.

I was going to layer the insides to but I decided not too. I am going to use these for my Christmas cards this year. With the cost of postage a lot of times my cards cost about $3.56 to mail out. So I am trying to keep the cost down on postage and just went with what came with the kit!

Happy Stamping!
