Wishing y’all a blessed Christmas.  If you are driving to be with loved ones, safe travels.

This is a little gift bag made with our new Mini Treat Bag framelits.  You can find them on page 9 of the Spring Occasions catalog!  I made this with our gorgeous wrapping paper found in the Holiday catty on page 10.  This craft paper is so pretty and it’s reversible so you can stamp the other side if you prefer.

Again this is from the new catty.  It is specifically an Easter Stamp set but you can use flowers for anything, right?  I used our very new Blendabilities on this card.  You will love our new colors.  This is soft Sky, Wild Wasbi and Pink Pirouette inks.  I also used our Oval Framelits on this card.

Sometimes I like to do Christmas in colors other than the normal red and green.  I used Rose Red on this card, stamped the backgound and then embossed it with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder.  I used the silver sequins and backed the image with Silver Foil paper which was also run through with the Chevron Embossing folder.
The stamp set is Bright and Beautiful found on page 25 in the HC and cut out with the matching star framelit dies found on page 231 of the AC.   I finished it off with the Gorgeous All is Calm Snowflake embellishment found on page 22 of the HC.  I added a Rose Red candy dot to the cent of the snowflake.

I created this card with the stamp set Santa Stache, page 18 in the HC.  I colored him with the Blendabilities and use the Dazzling Diamond Glitter paper for the mustache and the hat.  The satin woven ribbon is found on page 15.  I used the DSP Nordic Noel also on page 15.  The sentiment is from Good Greetings.

When I first rec’d this Kraft card stock I didn’t much care for the feel of it.  However, as I started to use it, I fell in love with the look.  It is especially nice when used with embossing folders as in this card.  I used the Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon and the Burlap ribbon together.  In addition, I used the All is Calm Snowflake Embellishments found on page 22 of the HC and the Star framelits dies (pg 231)  to cut the star out from the Festive Designer Kraft Rolls found on page 10 of the HC.  This paper is so beautiful, you know I will be using it for all my gift wrapping this year.

With the Holidays coming up I tend to forget about the year round DSP, this case being Flashback, found on page 186 in the Big book.  I love all of the colors in this DSP, so striking!  Actually the card is more about the colors than anything else and that makes this a great all occasion card.  What do you think?

17. November 2014 · Comments Off on Thanksgiving Card · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

Sentiment on this card is from the Holiday catalog, Mingle all the way, page 17.  The background is from the Big Catalog, Hardwood, page 175 and the Autumn Accents die cut leaves are also from the Big catalog on page 232.  Will be wrapping up the Thanksgiving cards and projects this week because we are getting down to the wire for purchasing supplies for that Holiday.  You still have time but you have to hurry!

We made this at club last night.  We also made 2 3D items, a shaker card and a Christmas Ornament for the tree.  Great fun and so many laughs. Belonging to a club is fantastic!  You not only get to make neat projects, on a monthly basis, but what really sets it apart is the life time relationships you develop by sharing what you love to do with others.  I used the set Festival of Trees, page 24 of the Holiday catalog.

The sentiment is from Good Greetings.  The feathers are cut out with the Feathers framelits dies found on page 42 of the Holiday catalog.  I used the DSP from Typeset, Gold Soiree and gold foil card stock.   I think this card is perfect for a man.  What do you think?

I sure have gotten a ton of use out of these stache stamps.  More fun stamps to play with.  I embossed the silver foil paper with the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder found on page 30 of the Holiday catty.  Really adds another dimension to the card and matches the silver ink on the image.

If you came to my Wednesday morning club you would have made these cute little turkeys.  We had so much fun making these this morning.  You can use them to hold favors, sweets, or name cards at the Thanksgiving table.

I used kraft paper, new this year. for my background on this card and Baked brown sugar for my trees.   I used washi tape and Frosted sequins for embellishments and the white gel pen for the snowy background and to highlight the trees.

26. October 2014 · Comments Off on Navy and Gold · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , ,

If you came to my camp yesterday you would have made this card along with other projects geared for the Holidays.  These trees are embossed with various embossing folders from the gold foil card stock.  To save as much card stock as possible the gold layer under the Night of navy with the trees was used to punch out the 3 trees.  Then embossed.  There was still enough of foil card stock left to slide under the Night of Navy layer.  Sentiment if from the hostess set Good Greetings.

25. October 2014 · Comments Off on Baby wipe technique · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , ,

I made this card using the baby wipe technique.  The sentiment stamp is from the set Seasonally scattered, page 43 of the Holiday catty.  The leaves are die cut from the Bigz die Autumn Elements.  The technique involves layering several baby wipes together and dropping different colors of ink refills onto the baby wipe until it is saturated with many colors.  The you take your stamp and stamp on the baby wipes to leave a beautiful sentiment with many fall colors.  Hope you like it.

When you order these journals (page 200) you get two and they make great gifts.  They are 3 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ so they fit nicely in your purse or pocket.  I covered the journal with our DSP Flashback found on page 186 and embellished it with some of our rhinestones which I colored with a black sharpie.  So much fun to decorate!  OOPS! just realized I spelled Stampin’Up! wrong on my watermark……bummer!

15. October 2014 · Comments Off on For All Things · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

These two stamp sets For All Things and Gorgeous Grunge have got to be some of my very favs.  I hope they are both around for a long time.  I used the DSP Color Me Autumn and Gold basic buttons, both on page 41 of the Holiday catalog, along with the stamp set. This set is so versatile and perfect for this time of the year.  You shouldn’t have any problems finding samples to get inspiration from, as I have posted many.

13. October 2014 · Comments Off on Shoe Box Swap card · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

I created this card for a shoe box swap with my fellow demonstrators.  Every couple of months we try to get together and do a shoe box.  Everyone brings a make & take for everyone to put together.  It is a blast!  and soooo much fun.
You can use this card as a decoration for your tree.  I used Blackberry Bliss, one of my all time favorite in-colors.  In addition, I used Silver glimmer paper and the silver foil paper.  The snowflake embellishment in the center of the card can be found on page 22 of the holiday catty.  I colored the rhinestone with a purple sharpie and adhered it to the snowflake with a glue dot.  I adhered the snowflake to the foil star with glue dots also.  Gotta love our glue dots, they are the best!

I know you have heard me speak of not wanting to see Fall come because winter is close behind, but I do love fall colors.  I could use these colors every day and not tire of them.  I used our Bigz Die Autumn Accents, page 232 Big catalog.
I have found that if you cut the leaves out with our naturals cards stock and then sponge them with our inks the colors are much more vibrant than if you use Whisper white or very vanilla.  That is what I used on this card.  I used the background stamp Hardwood and the sentiment is from Mingle all the way on page 17 of the Holiday catalog.  The Autumn wooden accents are found on page 46.

I love the new specialty DSP All is Calm on page 22 of the Holiday catty.  The stamp set is Wondrous Wreath that has the matching framelits which you can bundle at a 15% discount.  This is on page 9.  The Glimmer red ribbon is also cut out with the framelits.  However, the “joy” is from the Snowflake Card Thinlits found on page 22.  I used our new in-color Lost Lagoon.

This is one of those CAS cards that you can put together in a matter of minutes.  I used the new Kraft paper found on page 192 for my card base and watermarked the stamp on the background.  I also used the new Fun Frames found on page 227 of the big catalog.

09. October 2014 · Comments Off on Last card from WCMD · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , ,

I took all the pictures of my class for WCMD with my iphone so they are not as detailed as I would have liked them to be.  I am trying to adjust my Nikon so that I can take better pics with that camera.  This is the front and inside of card.  I used the set Bright & Beautiful, page 25 of the Holiday catalog and the matching Stars framelits found in the Big catalog on page 231.  I also used our Sliver Glimmer paper and the silver foil paper along with the drop dead snowflake embellishments, page 22.  They are so adorable.  I added a candy dot to the center of the star embellishment.

I cut this snow flake out with the new Snowflake Card Thinlits Die found on page 22 of the Holiday catalog.  I used shimmery card stock and the watercolor technique on the snowflake and Gold Soiree DSP for the background.  I dyed the white organza ribbon with pacific point ink refill and used same color for the card base.

Now this stamp is from the set Bootiful Occasions, page 136 in the big catalog.  You can use it for Halloween, summer, winter, or rainy days.  I am so glad this set was carried over to the new catalog this year.  It has always been one of my favs.  I used Soft sky for the card base and highlights on the boot.  The background is created using the Lucky Stars Textured Embossing folder and I used the Star embellishments from In color Sequin assortment.

This is another stamp set that has framelits to go with it.  You will be able to save 15% when you combine them both, see page 42 in the Holiday catalog.  I love the feathers and on this card I used them with Gorgeous Grunge and the sentiment from Really good Greetings.  The background on this card is made with Dotty Angles, page 98 in the Big catty.

We made this card at our Friday night Hostess club.  I used the new Confetti Stars punch (page 30) holiday catty, and Champagne Glitter paper under the stars and under the sentiment.  The sentiment is from Good Greetings the hostess Bonus set when you host a $300 workshop.  The pumpkins are from Fall Fest stamp set cut out with the matching framelits.

22. September 2014 · Comments Off on Dishwasher Magnets · Categories: 3D Items · Tags: , , ,

Again, I used my iphone to take pictures of these magnets.  We had to buy a new dishwasher and the new one was Stainless steel inside and out and we could never tell if it was dirty or clean because we both load and unload the washer.  Well it was driving me nuts!  So, I needed to improvise, instead of going out and buying a dirty and clean button, I made these with our retired framelits (Cannery Set).  I used Flashback DSP and linen thread to decorate them and used the adhesive letters from Project Life BY SU Everyday kit to add the words.
I also made one for my Water Aerobics instructor as she and I have the exact same Dishwashers and that was her only complaint also.  See, stamps aren’t just for cards and memory keeping.

17. September 2014 · Comments Off on Shoe Box · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , ,

I created this card for our Shoe Box swap with my downline and other sidelines.  We try to get together about every two months.  Everyone prepares enough supplies to copy their creation and you go from station to station doing make and takes.  It is so much fun to get together with these wonderful ladies.   Being a demo is great.
This card I created from Fall Fest and used the framelits that coordinate with the set.  It can be purchased from the Holiday mini (page 46) at 15% discount if you buy the bundle.  I also used the mustache framelit (page 230 in the big catalog).  The background paper is Motley Monsters DSP.  The sentiment is from Good greetings, which you can get FREE if you host a $300 workshop.  Contact ME to find out how, I have several open dates, my house or yours.

16. September 2014 · Comments Off on Silver bling · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

I used the Big Shot and framelits to cut all these cute little embellishments out.  I used the silver foil paper and the Frosted sequins found on page 22 of the Holiday catalog and the DSP,  All is Calm (page 23).

12. September 2014 · Comments Off on Holiday Home at Halloween · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , ,

I originally purchased this set to use at Christmas but then I thought it was great for Halloween.  Just changing out a spooky sky surrounding the houses and adding the ghost an bats (also in the set) did the trick.  Don’t you agree?  This set is so versatile.  Not only does it have wonderful images but it has all the sentiments too.  In addition, you can get 15% off by purchasing this set along with the matching framelits, which I used to cut out the houses.  See page 16 in the Holiday catalog for all the details.

08. September 2014 · Comments Off on Spooky! · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , ,

I made this with the stamp set Mingle all the way (page 17) and Fall Fest (page 46) in the Holiday catalog.  In addition, I used the Fun Fall framelits (page 46) to cut out the pumkins and the ghost.  You can save 15% by purchasing both the stamp set and framelits together #135856, $24.95.  You can really have some fun with this and it isn’t only for Halloween but the leaves can be used through out the fall.  I used the set Tee-Hee-Hee (page 47) for the bat and EEK!  I cut the legs on the bottom of the card using the punch Decorative label found on page 220 of the big catalog.

07. September 2014 · Comments Off on Stache’ · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

I absolutely love this stamp set found on page 18 of the Holiday catalog.  It is called Santa Stache.  It coordinates with the mustache framelit die found in the Big catalog, page 230.  This time I used the gold marker and gold foil card stock.  I used the Noel framelit from the set Wonderful Wreath for the sentiment, even thou the stamp set itself has some great sentiments.  In my opinion, I think the Holiday catalog is the best ever that SU has come out with.  So many framelits to match stamps, and so many great sentiments with our stamps.

06. September 2014 · Comments Off on So many stars… · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

I made this card with the DSP paper stack, Trim the Tree found on page 7.  In addition, I used some of the stitched stars from a previous paper pumpkin.  I thought it went well with the paper and the focal point which is cut out with the framelit Star dies in the Big catalog page 231.  If you surf the internet you will find so many creative items made with these framelits.    I used the embossing folder, Lucky Stars page 30.
The nice thing about paper pumpkin is that you always have left overs after you make the projects to use on something else.
