Magical Meadow Card Tutorial

Today’s card is done in the soft colors of Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Misty Moonlight giving it a soft winter feel.

I’ve used the Magical Meadow Stamp Set (Retiring 162134) that will be retiring and is only available while supplies last along with the Something Fancy Dies (160424) from the Annual Catalog. You might already have this set of label dies since it is a great staple that you’ll use over and over again.

the Magical Meadow stamp set is a beautiful set with DisInkTive ™ images and wonderful winter sentiments. It is part of the Winter Meadow Suite of Products (162150) and while the stamp set and dies are on the retirement list some of the accessories are not, so you can get additional accessories like the paper in the future. Remember, if a suite or bundle is sold out you can always purchase things separately.

Here is a video tutorial for you and PDF with the complete supply list, YouTube Link, and measurements with instructions for recreating this card.

Sparkling Snowflake Tutorial

Today’s card is quick and easy and contains a bit of shine too making it perfect for the holiday season.

This type of card is a favorite layout of mine since its great for making in large quantities as it’s a quick and easy layout. I’m using the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set (162158) which is using a favorite winter image of mine – snowflakes! I can’t seem to resist a snowflake set lol.

I’ve teamed this image up with the lovely winter pattern from the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper (162015) as it reminds me of those warm winter sweaters I had as a child and it’s got shades of blue too!

Pick of the Patch Tutorial #BackStage Swap

Today is going to be short and sweet since I’m taking my computer back to Best Buys to finish things up, I’m hoping. You just don’t know how much you need something until it doesn’t work right. lol.

Today’s card was created with one of the NEW Mini Catalog Bundles, Pick of the Patch (162200) that will be available to order starting on September 6th when the September – December Mini goes LIVE. I couldn’t resist this fun little set that has these cute little pumpkin and gourd images perfect for fall and Halloween.

I’ve teamed up the set with the Them Bones Designer Series Paper (162215) that has this wonderfully warm plaid pattern done in rich warm tones for the season. I think you’ll really enjoy these patterns found in the paper which you focus on the Halloween side or the more neutral side like this one.

This card seemed to be a hit during the swap on Thursday evening. I have a quick video tutorial for you and PDF showing you how I created this card.

True Beauty & Back Stage Fun!

Yesterday I shared the first of two swaps that I created for the Back Stage event last week. I I decided I wanted to do both a masculine and feminine card for the swaps. So today I’ll be sharing the swap I made with the True Beauty stamp set (158976).

This stamp set is perfect for feminine cards with it’s floral images and lovely font. The true watercolor look is built into the stamp so it’s soo easy to use and create a multidimensional look for any project!

This set also has a coordinating set of dies and is part of a suite of products, but for this project I wanted to keep it simple. (A late night the day before you fly out will do that lol)

Here is the card I came up with.

Sweet with a bold pop of color. Perfect for a friend! So why not check out my video tutorial and pdf for the project I have created for you? And did you know when I give you a Classic Ink item # on my pdfs I include the reinker item # for the ink pad? I always tell folks to order them together so you’ll never have a dry ink pad. Nothing more frustrating when creating, right? Something I learned the hard way when I first started stamping. Anyhow here is the the video tutorial.

True Beauty Card Tutorial PDF

And how about some pictures too – Back Stage is a special event that Stampin’ Up! holds for it’s leaders once a year. It was held in New Orleans this year some place I’d never been before, so it was exciting to see what this town was all about. We stayed in the French Quarter and after I arrived I had some time grab lunch and to explore with new friends before our Sweets & Swaps event that evening.

What a view!

Check in brought a fun swap bag filled with goodies – Stampin’ Up! always spoils us!

Swapping with 500 of your fellow leaders what could be more fun?

and of course there were sweets and entertainment too!

The next 2 days brought lots of wonderful local food, training, fun and fellowship with new and old friends.

And our final night ended with a Mardi Gras parade and party.

As always our hearts were full as we said goodbye at the end of the evening,

until next time when we gather again. Do these Stampin’ Up! events appeal to you too? Why learn more about becoming a Demonstrator and joining my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers HERE or contact me today?
