Flying Home

Posted on by

The Flying Home is a image set that is filled with sweet little images perfect for all kinds of occasions.

and while it doesn’t have any sentiments included in the set, this makes it perfect for pairing up with the sentiments of your choice.

Today I’m sharing with you one of the cards we made during my Occasions Catalog Kick Off. It’s a total case since I loved it just the way it was. There is a bit of fussy cutting for the nest and butterfly, but that’s well worth it I think.

And as mentioned I’m including a Tutorial for the card so you can make one too! I just love how easy our Stampin’ Blends make coloring this card!

Lots of Lavender Sachet Video Tutorial

Posted on by

I recently held my Occasions Catalog Kick Off the end of December and so I thought I’d share the projects that we made with you over the next few days along with the tutorials for them.  Today’s lavender sachet was their gift for attending.

Everyone was great about the fact I wasn’t able to finish assembling them myself due to a last minute procedure the day before, so it became a third project for them. LOL! I’ve got such a great group of stampers!

We had a lot of fun using the new products and stamping together. Everyone who attended not only made 3 fun projects, but also got to see the fun new products from them for the first time.

Want to see how they are made? I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you and also a printed tutorial too!

Flora & Flutter – Paper Pumpkin Fun!

Posted on by

I love the surprise each month when my Paper Pumpkin Kit arrives each month in the mail – it’s like Christmas all over again!

The December kit, Flora and Flutter was fantastic with the laser cut outs and glimmer paper. I loved the projects as soon as I saw them!

And last month when we got together at my Paper Pumpkin Craft Time my friend Shirley and I decided to play a bit and come up with an alternative idea for one of the projects. Want to see it? Here is what we came up with.

The kits came with a ton of goodies in it! and typically there are always extra pieces to work with after you finish the kit as they instruct.

How’d we do it? Basically all I added was a Berry Burst Card base, everything else was in the box. I took the Peekaboo Peach slated piece and cut the longest slat from the circle.  And then I cut down the card itself to 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ for the focal point.

Once I did that I did the following

Assembly:

1. Cut a Berry Burst card stock base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″; scored on 4 1/4″ and folded in half.

2. Adhered the circle piece, minus the slat onto the front of my card base.

3. Adhered the Glimmer Paper to the Peakaboo Peach layer with adhesive strips provided.

3. Then I adhered the laser cut piece that I’d cut down to the Peekaboo Peach/Glimmer layer. (The Glimmer Paper is slightly smaller than this laser cut piece so it didn’t peak out.)

4. Stamped the butterfly in Berry Burst onto precut butterfly piece and attached it with a glue dot.

5. Stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst onto the precut banner.

6. Adhered the slat pieces to either side of the finished banner and trimmed as desired. Then added it below the focal point.

Voila! a beautiful full sized card simply by adding a piece of Berry Burst card stock!

These kits are fantastic for the beginning crafter and are wonderful for all ages since everything is included.

But hurry you’ll want to sign up before the end of the day January 10th (11:50 pm MT) so you can get your January Kit!!!

Good news, I’ve got my laptop back and think I’ve got most of the programs back up and running over the weekend – After hours sitting on the phone with tech support last week were still working out some of the bugs, but I’m hoping the rest of 2018 will be a Dell free year! LOL

One Big Meaning

Posted on by

If you send a lot of Thank You cards then the One Big Meaning stamp set (18788/139420) might be a great choice for you since it is filled with a wonderful selection of fonts and sizes. I find myself reaching for it all the time and at this time of year I’ve always got thank you that need to be sent.

This first card not only uses the One Big Meaning sentiment but also the Falling Flowers stamp set (139553/139556).

And do you recognized the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper peeking out behind the flower – awesome right? And good news you can still get this paper until the end of the day today since the Holiday Catalog items on the Retirement List can be ordered while supplies last until 11:50 p.m. (MT) tonight!

And here is another wonderful card using the set and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper (144137) is peeking out from behind the vellum card stock (101856).

Check out the lovely Powder Pink 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon – if you haven’t seen our shimmer ribbon in person it is just lovely.

And here are a couple more Thank You cards I wanted to share with you. This first one uses the  Daisy Delight Bundle (143669) and the same Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.

And this last one uses the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set (143758). and the Petal Burst Embossing Folder (144193).

Stop back by next time when I’ll be sharing my NEW 2018 Occasions Catalog organizational items with you.

This Little Piggy….

Posted on by

I guess I’m feeling a little bit country this week since yesterday’s cards had roosters and today’s cards have pigs LOL! but this set is just too cute – it was one of my first choices this year when the catalog launched. And rightfully so since it makes such a great variety of cards.

Check out these cards made with the This Little Piggy stamp set (143919/143922).

And here are a couple of cards that are a little bit different

I love the way the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp set (143719) was combined with the This Little Piggy set.

Wood Words

Posted on by

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and you’re enjoying the holiday season. I’m I’m going to be taking a break the next couple weeks to enjoy some time with my family while our daughter is home.

The good news is I’ve set up some posts for you while I’m enjoying the family time – so while I will have limited access to my blog (Dell will have my computer again) – you’ll get to see some great cards that I’ve received in swap. Then I get my computer back I’ll be able to share with you again.

While I love the little wood create dies that are part of the Wood Words Bundle today’s cards all use the Wood Words stamp set to create cards.

More Birthday Fun

Posted on by

Today’s cards all use the Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies (143700) – I just love this single die for quick birthday cards!

Love some bling? This first card was made with our Silver Glimmer Paper (135314), Marbled Background stamp (143755/144772) and Garden Trellis Embossing Folder (143741).

And this one is teamed up with our Whisper White Note cards (131527), Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamps set (143662) and Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper (144163).

And while this card uses the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set too – it has a totally different feel

And how about this classic black & white using the poodle from the Birthday Delivery stamps set (143660)?

A great masculine card when teamed up with the Dapper Denim and You’ve Got This stamp set (139572/139575) to create a textured background.

This die is a lot of fun to use and when you use the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets (144106) it’s quick & easy too!
