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.

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.

The third card is from the big Catalog, Flower Patch, page 156 and cut out with the matching Flower Fun Framelits Dies using the Big Shot.

This is one of the cards we did for WCMD.  Both front and inside of card. Stamp sets used were Holiday Invitation and Mingle all the way, both found in the Holiday catalog.  I used the Bog shot to cut out the leaves from Fall Fest and Framelits, also in the Holiday catty.

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.

This set has been very popular.  It has some great images along with sentiments.  Have you noticed that SU has been doing a lot of sets this year with both images and sentiments?  That is what is so neat about our products.  On this card I opted to use the sentiment from Mingle All the Way but I could have easily used one of the sentiments that came with this set.  I like to switch out once and a while.  Makes life interesting!

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.

28. September 2014 · Comments Off on Sympathy Card · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

Sometimes we need a sympathy card and I thought this stamp set fit the bill.  I used the sentiment from Hostess set Bloom with Hope on page 240 of the Big catalog.  This set is only for those hostesses that have a workshop of $150 or more.  Why not host a party? Contact ME to find out how you can get this set with hostess dollars.  The background stamp is called Country Corner and is in the Big catalog.  I used an aqua painter and the lids of classic ink pads on watercolor paper.  Hope you like it!

Another Ray of Sunshine card.  This card has some great images along with great sentiments.  I needed a quick birthday card so I came up with this.  Again I am looking for more ways of using this set so if you have created any cards with it send them on to me and I will post them giving you credit of course.  This time I used the DSP Typeset.

This is another card we made at the hostess clubs this month.  These stamps are from Freaky Friends found on page 45 of the Holiday catty.  This set is so much fun to use.  So many monsters to choose from.  In addition I used the matching DSP called Motley Monsters found on the same page.  I used the 2013-15 In color Seqiun assortment to add a little bling to this card.  Hope you like it!

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.

This is another card that I designed with the set Ray of Sunshine.  I think it goes well with the nautical theme.  What do you think?  I love these colors together.  It is so patriotic looking.  I used the DSP Maritime found on page 187 of the big catalog and our Cherry Cobbler Bakers twine.

I am sorry this picture is so small but I took it with my iphone instead of my camera.  It actually came out pretty good, except for the size.  I used acetate for the reflection of the tress in the water.  This is my absolute favorite set of all the stamps sets created by SU and I hope along with hundreds of other demos that they never retire it.  It has been around since 2001.  Wow!  I wish they still put the dates on our sets.  I used to like to see how long they lasted.  Many people have contacted SU and asked that this set never be retired, including me.  Hope they listen to us.
By the way, I used the dryer sheet technique on this card along with dazzling diamonds.

I finally caved and bought this set, found on page 159 in the big catalog.  I liked it from the first time I saw it but I hesitated thinking what could I use it on.  Well, I have used it on several different cards.  I will be showing them in the next couple of days.  Hope you like them, if you do please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

When you purchase this stamp set, a portion of the proceeds goes to the Ronald McDonald House.  We have partnered with them for many years to help children heal and keep families together.
I used the DSP Flower Pot and stamped the Flamingo in Blushing Bride.  I used the paper piecing technique and embellished with our 1/4″ Blushing Bride cotton ribbon.  The nice thing about our products is you do not have to try and figure what goes with what.  All of our embellishments, ribbons, brads, etc., are all color coordinated to help you create beautiful cards.

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.

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).

The elements on this card we received at convention this year for a make and take that I did not complete so I thought I would use them on this card.  The DSP is from the paper stack for in-colors 2016 and the large pennant background is from the Bigz Die Party Pennants.  The sentiment is from the hostess set, Good Greetings, available with a $300 workshop order.  Ask me how you can get this set FREE.

Don’t the colors in this DSP remind you of Fall?  The DSP is called Color Me Autumn and can be found in the Holiday catalog page 41.  I used washi tape, buttons, and the sentiment from For All Things, all found on same page.  That stamp set reminds me a lot of the set “Work of Art”. How about you?

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.

11. September 2014 · Comments Off on Thanksgiving Card · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

I created this card using the stamp set Holiday Invitation found on page 49 of the Holiday catalog.  This is a fantastic set if you are thinking of hosting parties through out the Holidays.  Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  However, using Celebrate you can even include birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, Christenings, etc.   I used the DSP from Color me Autumn (page 41) and the new lace trim found in the big catalog.

I love this stamp set (page 45).  It is so cool.  I love using it with the stamp set Tee-Hee-Hee (page 47).  Both sets have some incredible images and the sentiments are hilarious!  Perfect sets if you are into Halloween!

I love this stamp set.  It is so easy to color and has beautiful sentiments.    This set is in the Holiday catalog on page 26.  I used the aqua painter with our classic ink in real red and crumb cake, so easy.  This was one of the cards we made at our Christmas in August class.

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.

04. September 2014 · Comments Off on Lost Lagoon Bauble · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

This single stamp has been really popular on the internet.  If you remember the last time I posted it I did it in non-traditional Christmas colors.  Well this time I used the traditional colors and used the beautiful DSP found on page 22.  In addition I used the Lost Lagoon Silky Taffeta ribbon, although my camera doesn’t do it justice, it does truly match the card in real life.  Blaming it on the camera again.  The sentiment is from Endless Wishes found on page 32.
I did use our aqua painters with our classic pads on Watercolor paper and our white gel pen for accent.

I love that this set (page 42)  comes with matching framelits.  You can get the bundle at a 15% discount.  I used the washi tape on page 22 and 41 on this card.
The sentiment is from Good Greetings and with a $300 workshop or party you can get this set FREE.  Contact me and I will send you out a flyer with all the details. I hand drew the outline with one of our Project Life Journaling pens.

02. September 2014 · Comments Off on Autumn??? · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

I know this is the time of the year that we (demonstrators) should be showing fall stuff but I hate to see the summer go.  It is my favorite time of the year.  Posting all these Halloween cards and Thanksgiving cards tells me it time to let it go.  Boohoo!  Well, as long as the weather stays nice and warm here in SC, I guess I am ok with it!  LOL

This uses the set Seasonally Scattered on page 43 of the Holiday catalog and the leaves (For all Things, page 41) are canvas that I sponged with Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, and Rich Razzelberry.  I fussy cut with the leaves and added some shredded burlap ribbon.  The DSP is Color me Autumn on page 41.

These little guys were created with the new Fall Fun Framelits found on page 46 of the Holiday catalog.  By now you have all rec’d that wonderful collection of stamps and accessories.  The eyes of the ghosts are stamped with the set Freaky Friends on page 45 and the sentiment is from Mingle all the Way on page 17.   The bat is from a retired punch that was on the clearance rack.
OOPS! just noticed that the date on my watermark is 2104. Hah! I should live so long! LOL
