Is it Snowman Time?

 The new Holiday catalog went live last week and I know you have a long list of beautiful stamps, punches, bundles, embellishments, kits, and ideas to use. So excited to show you this adorable snowman! He is one of the stamps in the stamp set called Snowman Season on page 19. 

Here is one of the cards we'll be making in a couple of weeks at my card class. This snowman makes me smile. 

Do you have those Nested Stitched Dies yet? They are so versatile and work great with this stamp. The Designer Series Specialty Paper is so pretty. Some of the sheets have texture and sparkle! I layered it on Shaded Spruce cardstock. The sentiment is stamped with Coastal Cabana. Did you notice the red snowballs? I used the Red Rhinestones to give the card some sparkle. This card just makes me smile! 

Every now and then Stampin' Up! offers specials. This month you can buy 3 packages of select DSP and get a fourth package free. There are 10 choices, check it out here.

Sign up for my email list to find out more information about upcoming events. It's the best way to stay up-to-date.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time,

Happy Stamping

Beautiful Friendship

What is your favorite color? Mine is orchid, purple, in fact, any shade of purple. I am using the stamp set called Beautiful Friendship this week. It looks absolutely beautiful in Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.

Here's the card I created for my card class using Beautiful Friendship:

.

A photo does not do this card justice. It is so pretty. I used Granny Apple Green for the leaves. Don't you just love the bling? Those are rhinestones are the Noble Peacock rhinestones. I used two of the Gorgeous Grape and one Old Olive. I love the sparkle!! This card is a simple, easily copied design that even new stampers can make, don't you think?


Here is the stamp set. The sentiments are very useful and those flowers are so pretty. I am going to try it in different colors because I think they will be just as pretty.

Wondering what else is going on at Stampin' Up?

Scalloped Note Cards are a must have!

It's that time again: Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop, that is!! 

The summer is flying by but there is still time to play with my stamps. I have so many new sets that need to be used. 

 I wanted to use the Scalloped Note Cards. 

These cards come in four colors and include the matching envelope. Something a little different from a Whisper White card base.

My card for today features a strip out of the Designer Series paper called Woven Threads. This sheet looked really nice with the Powder Pink Scalloped Note card. The flower is from the Floral Essence stamp set and is inked in Flirty Flamingo. The darker flower is stamped first and the lighter flower is stamped without reinking. Even though the notecard is Powder Pink, the flowers look great with it. Don't you agree? The leaves are stamped in Old Olive and punched out with the Leaf Punch. Those rhinestones sparkle and finish off this card. Notice the little strip of DSP along the bottom? I just love that touch.

We'll be making this card at my Card Class on August 22. It is just so pretty in person. Want to come? Just email me.

A Cute Little Gift Box

I am so excited to show you this cute card box. My inspiration is from Ronda Wade. You know that cardboard that is in your package of Designer Series paper? Do you throw it away? I know I do but now I will keep them to make some gift boxes.

This may not be the final version of the box we'll make in my August special class. 

I am offering a Product-Based class on August 8 to make this box and six coordinating cards. The class fee includes a package of Magnolia Lane DSP, a package of Basic Adhesive-backed Sequins and a roll of 5/8" Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon. I will provide the stamps, ink pads and card kits to make your box and cards. Cost of the class is $35!! That is a great bargain.

Missed the sign up? I can offer this class again, if there are 3 people who would like to learn how to make this box, I will do another class. Message me!!
