Awesome Otters!

 These are four fun cards I made using two items out of the Sale A Bration catalog for this year. These are only available until the end of February 2022!

I have used the Sunshine and Rainbows dsp, ( we could always use Sunshine and Rainbows, right?!), and the Awesome Otters stamp set. You can get each one free with a $50 (doesnt include shipping) order.

I think these cards are Otterly Terrific!!!

I cased these cards from Lynn Dunn at Stamptasticdesigns.com.

HoneyBee Stamps!

 I made this card using some new Honeybee products. I saw a couple of sample cards on their blog and was in love. This is the first card I came up with. This is a card for a special friends birthday coming up later this month.

This stamp set is like a 4 step set, there are also dies. For the edge and middle of the card I used a gorgeous die set that comes with matching stencils. 

The stamps are the Antique Layering Roses and matching dies. The border and center die I used are Lace A2 Cover Plate dies and Layered Lace Stencils. The border isnt really a border tho. I only used it as a border but it is actually a rectangle die.

Nuts About Squirrels Treat Boxes!

I just love these little guys and am really glad they are carrying over! I found a tutorial from Kitchen table Stamper. She made her own box and it fit the treat she was putting in it.

I didnt want to do that. I wanted to use up these boxes and there were exactly enough for all the girls in my next class. So, I did the same topper that she used only put it on the boxes.

Fun Fold Card

 

Here is a fun fold card I made. It was originally done by France Martin at Frenchie stamps. It is a fun card and pretty easy to make. It is usually the beautiful Expressions in Ink papers and the Artistically Inked stamp sets. These papers are absolutely gorgeous. They have been hard to get. It seems like in ever catalog there is one set of papers that seem to be on backorder thru almost the whole catalog. I have a hunch on what it is going to be in the Spring mini but will wait and see if I am right or not.

Hello Ladybug!

 Here are a couple of pictures of the little bit of snow we have recieved in the last couple of days at our house. It hardly ever snows here but of course it has to snow right before we are going to fly out on vacation. It is actually supposed to snow a bit in Minnesota/Wisconsin and we have about a 2 hour drive to get there. So we are going to have some fun driving in the snow,

On to my card! This is the cutest little ladybug stamp set. I just love it! I have used some of the Host pattern papers from the Annual Catalog. Its called Pattern Party and comes with 48 sheets of fun papers. It is free with a qualifying purchase. You can see it on page 171 in the annual catalog. 

I saw the ladybugs in blushing bride in the new Spring mini catalog going live on January 4th and decided I wanted pink ladybugs. I made up 4 of them and left them on my table. The next day they were scattered on the floor and so I thought they must have stuck to one of the kitties feet as they were walking across my table. But the next day I saw one of the Kitties swiping some on the floor clear into the living room and realized it was one of my ladybugs. So I guess he thought it was a real ladybug.

I die cut one of the pretty circles from the Encircled in Beauty die set and layered my ladybugs on it. I punched out some of the wings and used them for leaves. The words are from the Hello Ladybug stamp set also.

The stamp set and punch can also be purchased as a bundle and you can save 10%. This will be available starting January 4th.

I like how this card turned out and think it is fun.

Another Daffodil DayDream Card!

 Here is another card I made using the Daffodil Daydream Bundle. I cased this card out of the catalog and added a couple of my own touches to it.

You can see beside my card my new little Gnomie that I got for Christmas and part of another one. You can see a little pink of the hidden Gnomie, it is very cute and his little legs stretch to make it taller.

I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas.  We got a little snow here but not much! But thats okay because Kati and I are flying out to Wisconsin in a few days and want the airport to be open!!

Daffodil DayDream Bundle and Merry Christmas

 This card is made with the Daffodil DayDream Bundle out of the new Stampin Up Spring Mini catalog.

The papers are in the new Sale A Bration catalog. Both of these catalogs go live on January 4th 2022. If you purchase the Daffodil DayDream bundle you can earn the papers for free. They bundle for the stamps and dies is $54.75 before s&h and the papers are free with a $50 order! 

How exciting is that??

There are so many great colors in this paper pack. I had a hard time deciding which color to layer with it. I finally decided on Flirty Flamingo. I haven't used it for awhile so I decided to do it. For the actual daffodils I die cut them with Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry. Now a days it seems like daffodils come in all kinds of colors so it would be fun to make them in lots of other colors.

For my card, this is called a Fold Flat Box Card. You can go onto You tube and find all different ones. So I went and found the dimensions and then designed my own. It has a belly band around it when its closed. You could use ribbon also. Then you slide the belly band off and the card opens like a box. It fits in a regular size envelope (as long as you dont put too much dimension in the box) but its just I think a quarter inch shorter than a regular card.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Fun with Flowering Tulips!

 I have had a chance to play with some of the new products coming out in the Spring catalog next month. Its been fun not doing something Christmasy for awhile. I always love getting started on Christmas things but then am glad to get back into spring.

This is a Z-fold card. I have used some fun new products. As a demonstrator you get to pre order things. Sometimes as early as 2 months before the catalogs go live if you participate in On Stage in November. I choose not to this year. So I just pre-ordered some things at the beginning of December.

This card is made using Flowering Tulip Bundle which includes the stamps and dies. I havent useed any of the tulips dies on this card. I also used the gorgeous papers called Flowering Fields. It has the most beautiful colors and patterns in it.

I have new catalogs now so if you are looking for a demonstrator I would love to get a catalog to you!!

 I cant believe its been another month since I've last posted anything. But its been a crazy month.

My mother in law got sick and passed away, I had a big event and now I've just spent the whole weekend and am home from work today because someone came to work sick last week and now I have it.

Of course, since I want to post something I cant get the photos to open up on my computer so I can download some pictures.

Luckily, I found this card I hadnt shown yet.

I love this die set. I cased this card out of the Holiday mini catalog. I have another one with these dies but they are still in my phone.

This card is made using the Christmas To Remember Bundle. It is a stamp and die set that comes in the Painted Christmas Suite. This is a cool suite. It has two bundle with stamps and dies, gorgeous ribbon, some fun Gold Holly Leaves, and papers.

Usually when I am home sick I get some crafting done but not this time. I have been home since Thursday afternoon and it is now monday morning. I made one card this weekend. So that shows how sick I actually was.

Christmas Cookies!

 This is a fun card I made using lots of different sets. The main set is out of the current annual catalog called Whats Cookin! It comes with stamps and you can get matching dies to go with it. This is a fun set for anyone that like kitchen themed items. I have also used Word Wishes, Love You More Than, Warm Wraps and Scalloped Contour die sets.

The papers are from the new Holiday mini catalog called GingerBread and Peppermint designer series papers.

I think this is a fun card for the holidays. Lots of die cutting tho!

Gingerbread and Peppermint!

 I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest. It was like a 51/2 or 6 inch square card. This is my version of it. It is made with the Gingerbread and Peppermint designer series papers, Real Red Ruffled Ribbon from the Gingerbread and Peppermint Suite and the Sweets and Treats Stamp Set from the new Mini Catalog that is available until January 3rd 2022. 

There is a quite a bit of coloring and fussy cutting with this card as there are not dies to match. But for some people that have the scan and cut machine you could cut it out with that after stamping and coloring your images.

If you would like to order any of these products you can find them at my online store here.
