Festival of Trees …

Posted in Christmas, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

So sorry I missed you yesterday … I was not on holiday, but was having technical difficulties, but I’m back and as promised I have the “Good Greetings” and “Festival of Trees” card to share.  Actually, two cards today!

A sweet and simple card for Saturday (now Sunday) that will brighten anyone’s holiday spirit.  I picked  Cherry Cobbler and Almost Artichoke for my color pallet.

The tree I used, one of five in the set is fun to use when you pop that second color in with the coordinating dots!  They even have garland included in this set.  If only decorating our trees at home where this easy!

My background was embossed with the “On Point” embossing folder that is also in the Holiday catalog.  You know … you could use it for a cute Birthday card – just have them pointing as if they were arrows!  Or for those of us from Wisconsin, turn it upside down … Ice cycles falling from our roof!  LOL

My greeting of course is the “Good Greetings” stamp set… Free with a qualifying party of order.  I used the square punch to create the banner ends and then curled them up for a more dramatic look.  A pretty little bow created with the bakers twine completes our first card.

 

contact me hostess special

I used the same color pallet and stamp sets as I did for the first card.  I love showing how versatile the stamp sets are, and how different cards can look when just changing up a background.

On this card, I stamped the background with the “Good Greetings” stamp set instead of using the embossing folders.  I think this is a fun, creative way to use your greetings!

I created my focal point on this card with the use of the Oval Framelit dies, it really shows off our floral tree so beautifully.  The trees on both cards were popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I love that extra dimension on a card.

This card was completed by tying a simple bow with the Cherry Cobbler seam binding… it adds a bit more elegance to the card, where the bakers twine fit better on our first card.  Each type of ribbon has a purpose, and I’m so glad we have a wonderful variety to choose from.

Hope you enjoyed today’s showcase of the Good Greetings and Festival of Trees stamp sets.  The Festival of Trees can also be purchased in a bundle, with a coordinating punch!  I love coordinating punches… and Bundles!  Who doesn’t love to save 15%!

Thank you for stopping back …

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Let’s get ready to party!  The only way to earn this exclusive stamp set is to host a party or place a qualifying order; the Good Greetings Stamp Set will not be offered for purchase and only lasts until October 31!

I am teaming up the “Fall Fest” stamp set from the Holiday catalog with the “Good Greetings” stamp set.  I shared a Fall Fest card with you as a sneak peek, but the catalog went live yesterday.  Click HERE to see that card share.

I used the “masking” technique to create the moon and cloud effect, using Daffodil Delight, Elegant Eggplant and Night of Navy.

000_1418

 The pumpkins were stamped with the Pumpkin Pie and topped off with the Old Olive marker.  The faces were done in StazOn.  I also sponged Pumpkin Pie on the pumpkins so the lines weren’t so obviously white.

My greeting was highlighted with the use of the Word Bubble Framelit dies… It’s a great stamp set!  I’d love to help you earn it 🙂

Stop back tomorrow, I will share a card featuring the “Good Greetings” stamp set and “Festival of Tree’s” stamp set from the Holiday catalog .

Have an awesome day ~

Posted in Business Opportunity, Man Cards, ON SALE! by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

As promised, another swap card from our demonstrator gathering.  This card is from Kathy C… one of my Star’s!

Kathy used the Traveler stamp set.  My clubs used this last year and will love to have another sample.  How beautiful is this card!

Kathy began with the World Map background stamp … and used the new Blendabilities Markers and some sponging on this card. I love how it really defines the map.

000_1398

The ship from the Traveler stamp set was stamped on Whisper White and then cut out with the Window Frames Collection Framelit and then matted with the same.  It really creates a nice focal point to her card.

To my Stampin’ Friends … I Heart You

Posted in 3-D Projects, Product Wow, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I am sharing with you a little peek into my Appreciation Party and a new card I designed to say “Thank You”!  Make sure you go all the way to the end … I don’t want you to miss a thing!

Let me start with one of the cards my Hostesses stamped.  We had a stamp camp after the dinner, but my hostesses were treated to two additional cards … my way of saying “Thanks” for stampin’ with me this past year.

The card was inspired by a fellow demonstrators card … the talent pool within our demonstrator circle is endless and very inspiring!

000_1402

Because I will be sharing several samples with you … I will be listing the ingredients after each project, this will make it easier for you to pick out the items you want on your wish list.

The stamp set used is of course, a hostess set … I Like You, found on page 237.  The greeting comes from the Photopolymer stamp set; Endless Birthday Wishes.  My favorite thing about this stamp set is that you can create your own phrases!  Such as … have a lovely day!

000_1405

I used different Designer Series Paper for the belly bands, but this one comes from the Park Lane packet.  The flowers were fun to make and topped off the box so nicely.

The door prizes contained samples of our newest embellishments from the annual catalog.  One of the goodies enclose was a yard of each of the 5 “Thick Bakers Twine” … which will bring me to my next sample!

I wanted to share a card that showcased at least one of the door prize goodies, and this is what I thought of …  All of the 5 thick bakers twine are present with hearts streaming down.  I want my stampin’ friends to know exactly what they mean to me, and how much I really do appreciate their loyalty and friendship.  I really do “HEART YOU”.

000_1406

Hope you got a little taste of the fun that we had at the Appreciation party.  You can be there next year … I’m taking bookings right now for fall and Christmas stampin’ parties!

“Hello” to another Sneak Peak!

Posted in Product Wow, Techniques by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I am sharing with you Eileen’s swap card from our Star’s group meeting on Friday.  It’s a sneak peek as this set is not available until Thursday!

Eileen used the “Four Feathers” Bundle (W-137629 / C – 137630) you can purchase the stamp set or framelits separately but a 15% savings sounds good to me!

Love the colors on this card… reminds me of a warm fall day!  Eileen used Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.  She used the “Arrows” textured folder to create the background.

Eileen Swap

I love how Eileen used the Scalloped Tag Topper punch with the “Four Feathers” bundle to create the focal point of the card.  She topped off the tag with the Gold Metallic Bakers Twine.

Also highlighted on the tag is the new “Color me Autumn” Washi Tape … coming in the Holiday catalog.

Eileen used the “Gorgeous Grunge” stamp set to add a bit more color to the Crushed Curry feather … I think it turned out spectacular!

Eileen Swap-close up

It’s amazing that adding that little bit of color makes the feather really “pop”.

I appreciate the visit today.  I’m sure you’ve enjoyed Eileen’s card as much as I have.

Lovin’ what I do …

Posted in Halloween, ON SALE!, Paper Pumpkin, Product Wow, Techniques by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Man … I love being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator!   If you read the blog yesterday you know I just met with my downline  (people I have recruited into my stampin’ family) and that I will be sharing those swaps with you.

Yesterday I spent the day finishing and packing up the Make & Takes for the Hostess / Customer Appreciation Party … Oh, I can’t wait for my stampers to arrive!  I’m so excited … we are going to have a blast!  I’ll post 🙂  It is amazing the lives you touch when you are in this business.

So today … I’m going to share the Make & Take I presented to the Star’s group…  A Masking Technique and a some stampin’ tips!

With summer coming to an end and fall right around the corner I wanted to share not only a new stamp set, but a something to really highlight it.

000_1386

Lets begin with the masking, I used two post it notes together (if you don’t have the longer ones) … make sure the “sticky” edges are to the inside where you will be sponging.

I began with Daffodil Delight and started 1/3 of the way down the area to be sponged, this way the darker area is where you begin and you work your way up so the top is lighter.  You can always add more color but you can’t take it back off.

The Pumpkin Pie – start 2/3 of the way down so as you move up, it’s lighter and will blend beautifully with the Daffodil.  The Blackberry bliss will start at the bottom and again, work your way up.  STAMPIN’ TIP: I do this technique of sponging in a circular motion because that helps blend it nicely too.

The stamp set is the “HOLIDAY HOME” (135095) from the Holiday Catalog.  It is a photopolymer set so yo won’t have to worry about those smaller images falling off the blocks … they stick so nicely and being clear, it’s a breeze to align!

000_1387

We stamped the tallest of the 3 houses in this set (there is also fun stuff for Christmas… very versatile) then we colored the house in to create a silhouette!  Don’t you just love it!  We left the windows alone so the color from our sponging would come through.

I just have to let you know that this stamp set has coordinating framelits (135857) and you can purchase it as a bundle (137631) too!  Catalog orders can begin AUG.28th in !!  Please let me know if you did not get your catalog.

000_1386

Thanks so much for the visit … be sure to check back daily as I will be posting more of the Star’s gathering swaps and pics and samples from my Appreciation Party!

Here is a quick reminder of our current promotions … just click on anyone of them to get more details.  Thank you.

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today’s card share comes from Vicki … the demonstrator who recruited me into the fabulous journey called Stampin’ Up!

Last night I held my team meeting and invited Vicki (my upline) and Jenny (my sideline) … we had many laughs, great swaps, and did a fun masking technique.  We even talked business! lol   I love gathering with my fellow demonstrators… aka / Stampin’ Sisters!

Vicki’s sweet and simple card begins with a White on White base, with the background being embossed with the beautiful new Lovely Lace embossing folder.  It’s fun and works perfect with her three little flowers!

000_1384

Vicki created those cute flowers with the Petite Petals punch (colors: Garden Green, Rose Red & Island Indigo) the little white flowers come from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack… then topped off with a little bling!    The greeting is from Endless Birthday Wishes!

Love the card … Thank you Vicki!  I will also be sharing the others swap cards, and the card that I did with everyone.

The Green and Gold …

Posted in Paper Pumpkin, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Yesterday I said I would share a card with you, that I created with the new August “My Paper Pumpkin”.  Well as luck would have it, one of the note cards was Green and Gold … and what do you think a girl from Wisconsin would do with those colors!!!

Make a birthday card!! LOL  It’s  a bit on the “manly” side, thought it was time for one.

000_1375

The card is quite simple to create … I used the Banner Framelit Dies and cut it from the note card.  I took the star and trimmed it down to the star shape.

The greeting comes with the kit, as did the greeting banner … I just flipped it over because I didn’t want the pink lines to show.

000_1377

OH MY … is that a sneak peek I see?  Yes, it’s the NEW Star border punch from the Holiday Catalog!  Did you get your’s yet?  Let me know if you need a Holiday Catalog, I’ve sent one to each of my club members and on-line shoppers… but if you do not have a demonstrator, I’d be happy to get you one.

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Have you seen the August Paper Pumpkin kit yet?   Watch to see how fun and simple this kit is to put together.

I really like the die cuts and how the look over the striped patterned cardstock card bases.  I’m not comfortable in placing sequins (don’t know why I think it should be any different than pearls or rhinestones) but working with the Paper Pumpkin kit really gave me a bit more confidence, which is good because I ordered a couple packs!!

I also want to share my versions … the first not too different from the instructions

 000_1371

I did change up the note card a bit.  Yep … worked in that sequins!  It turned out so cute, I tucked it into an order.

 000_1370_0001

I do want to remind you that now is a super time to try out My Paper Pumpkin.  When you sign up by September 10th, you will get your first two months at 50% Off!  Try it … you can cancel anytime (but I’m not sure why you’d want to).  CLICK HERE  Use Promo Code HALFOFF2

Thanks for popping in and stop back tomorrow to see what else you can do with this fun “pumpkin” kit!

Beautiful Day …

Posted in ON SALE!, Stampin' Up! card ideas, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

So … Did you guess which one of the new Weekly Deals was my favorite?  If you guessed the Elegant Butterfly – YOU were correct!  The Square framelit dies come in a close second.

I thought I would share with you a card I created using my 2 favorites from this weeks, Weekly Deals … the Elegant Butterfly and the Square Framelits!

000_1362

The “Mossy Meadow” cardstock you see, is simply folded in half.  Make sure your framelit sits above the fold so you do not cut the cardstock into 2 pieces.

I used the beautiful “Flowering Flourishes” stamp set, and teamed it up with the “Gorgeous Grunge” to create some depth to the card.

000_1364

As you can see … I layered the Petite Petals (in Black Raspberry) with the Boho Blossom (in Razzleberry) punches to create my flower.  The Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterflies also used the above color combination.

000_1366

I topped them off with the Rhinestones to create a bit of contrast and add some sparkle.  A beautiful friend always “shines”.

And finally, the greeting comes from the stamp set; Flower Patch.  I just used that stamp set on Sunday, so you can add this to your collection of samples for the Flower Patch set … so versatile.

000_1365

I hope I’ve inspired you to add the Square Framelits and Elegant Butterfly to your stampin’ collection … and while they are on Sale.  Just click on any links below for details – although the sale items do not reflect the sale price below, they will come up in your shopping card as the sale price.

A Flower for a Friend …

Posted in Punch Ideas, Techniques, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I hope you had a nice weekend.  I spent a big part of mine cutting cardstock and preparing for the upcoming Appreciation Party.  I really do find it quite relaxing, and quality time with my sister Eileen.

Today I’d like to share with you a simple card with the cutest little punched flower!  Let’s begin with our card base … I am using the beautiful Blackberry Bliss.  It not only looks but sounds yummy!

000_1357

I paired the Blackberry Bliss with the Whisper White and Park Lane designer series paper and added the Blackberry Bliss 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon to soften the edge between the two.

The pretty little flower was created with the Pansy and Petite Petals punches in Blackberry Bliss and Perfect Plum.

STAMPIN’ TIP: The Perfect Plum portion of the flower was created by cutting out one of the petals from the Pansy Punch and then bringing the ends together to form a smaller flower.  The leaves were also created from the Pansy Punch – cutting into the center and then trimming into a leaf shape.

000_1361

The greeting comes from the Feel Goods stamp set and is stamped in the Blackberry Bliss to coordinate with the card base, flower, ribbon and designer paper.  Gotta love that!

000_1360

My list of ingredients are listed below for your convenience … just click on the image to view details or begin shopping.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Enjoy your Monday ~

Happy Blooming Birthday …

Posted in Birthday, New Product Intro / Video, Quick -n- Easy by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I would like to share a sweet and simple birthday card that will bring a smile to anyone who receives it.  I used the new “Flower Patch” stamp set!  This is one of our Photopolymer sets, and makes the two-step stamping super simple because of the clear images.

I have a video for you to view that highlights the “Flower Patch” stamp set …

My card base color is the new In-Color Mossy Meadow along with the Whisper White which truly highlights to ink colors we will be using on our card.

The flower was created by stamping our largest image first, in the lightest color: Crisp Cantaloupe.  I then layers the Calypso Coral next, and completed the flower with the Cajun Craze… and topped it off with a pearl.

000_1352

STAMPIN’ TIP:  The leaves were added behind the flower by creating a mask.  Stamp the largest flower image on a piece of scrap paper and cut it out.  I always cut inside the line.  Then place it over the flower and stamp your leaves … it gives the appearance they are behind the flower!

It’s been a while since I’ve used a two-step stamping set and forgot how fast you can create a beautifully layered, colorful card.  I added the Daffodil Delight flowers in the background to create another pop of color.

As the video states, the Flower Patch stamp set has a coordinating framelit; Flower Flair, and when bundled you get a 15% savings!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and video!

Happy Birthday ~

Guest Stamper … Doris P.

Posted in Birthday by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I have a cute card I would like to share with you, that one of my downline members… Doris P.  stamped.  She used the “Life in the Forest” stamp set … which is cool because I don’t have that one, and the little fox is just too cute.

I love the way he is romping around in the grass!  It’s so easy to create now that we have the “Fringe Scissors”.

000_1344

The greeting comes from the Just Sayin’ stamp set which coordinates with the Word Bubbles Framelit Dies.  I do have those, and I love them!  The greetings are so much fun and with one roll of the BigShot … they are cut out for you.

I have listed the ingredients at the end of the post.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Have an awesome day ~
