Snowman

It wasn't looking good for a White Christmas, but it started to snow last night, and there is a nice covering this AM.  Of course we put off until the last minute doing a little something for the teacher and staff at school.  Clare was looking for something to make, and this is what we came up with.  I hope they like the treats on this snowy day!

From the Herd

A friend of my daughters suffered a concussion this past weekend, and has not been able to curl this week.  She has been missed on the varsity team, and everyone has been asking about her.  My daughter is taking this card for the team to sign at practice tonight.  I loved this set when I saw it, and thought it was the perfect fit for this kind of a card.  On the inside it says "and hoping you're feeling better soon!  from the herd".

One Tag Fits All

One Tag Fits All was the stamp set that I received at the Catalog Release.  There is a special birthday in our house today, so I decided to use the new set for this special card.  I also used the Memorable moments to add the 40.

Easel Calendar

Today, I am trying to get several projects started to work on next week during Thanksgiving break.  Each year I like to do a calendar to give out, and this is what I have come up with for this year.  It is an Easel Card with sticky notes.  I will use the same pattern, and create a bunch in different colors and designs! The Wisteria Wonder piece is regular card size(5 1/2" x 4 1/4"). Crazy to think, we are already to the end of 2014.

World Card Making Day Projects

Thank you to everyone that stopped over and created a card for World Card Making Day on Saturday.  Below are the a few of the cards that I created for those of you that could not make it.
Daydream Medallions was used to create the background, and the leaves are from the Fun Fall Framelits.

The Newborn King stamp set was embossed with white on Whisper White, and then ink was sponged on in Marina Mist, Coastal Cabana, and Pistachio Pudding. Inspired by Christine Slogar 

Snowflake thinlit die created the flip card with the other dies in the set, and worked great on the Brushed Silver paper with the silver printed vellum, and washi tape.

Work of Art set is out again, and this tree was created with the one stamp,  The Rhinestones were colored with a Blendabilities Marker to add color and the star punch was used for the gold stars as well as the accent in the corner.  Inspired by Barbara Lynn Faulkner

Snowflake Flip Card

I am trying very hard to not even think about the fact that the snow will be fall soon enough.  But I love this thinlits die and the card it creates!  The die also comes with the accents and words to make finishing it a snap.

Raccoon

This little critter is just perfect for little boy's cards.  The Background Rules adds a fun element and keeps the card looking masculine.  No need to have a specific reason to send this card other than to say Hello.

Fall Flower

The Hello Honey In Color is perfect for Fall.  I thought this card looked perfect for a fall flower card.  My dahlias are finally blooming, and surround by the falling leaves they remind me of these colors.  The background Designer Series Paper is from the Moonlight Stack.  I love having the smaller sizes of DSP so I don't have to be cutting the 12x12 down to size.

Tee Hee Hee


Halloween is just around the corner, and what a fun time to create cards with colors I would not be able to put together.  The new star border punch is perfect to go with Halloween, and then to use in on Christmas cards!  I love the art work on this set, and the sayings are great!

Forest Friends in Fall

The Forest Friends are back out again, and I didn't realize it as I made this card, but the circle that the racoon is in, kind of looks like it could be the moon.  I really like the dimension that the fringe scissors add to a project, and to get a bit of rougher looking grass, if you go back after the first cut and trim the edges at an angle, you get a different looking uneven grass.

Bolts Card

Backgrounds Rule, what a fun name for this background stamp.  When I saw it in the main catalog, it was instantly on my wish list.  Not only does it have an antique look to it, but what a perfect look to the always hard to come up with Masculine Cards.  I also saw someone use the Hexagon punch as a bolt, by punching a whole in the middle.  Perfect addition to go with the background and very simple and easy!

Fun Birthday Card

Happy Birthday to my niece Maya!

I know this card looks a bit like a retro card with the paint splatter, but I thought it would work well for a girls birthday card, especially when it is for that tween age.

Back to World of Dreams

I told you I would be back with more samples for this set, it is such a great set so I had to show a few more samples that came up with when using with the Moonlight DSP Paper Stack.  So many great backgrounds that can coordinate well with all kinds of different projects.

Fall is Here

Fall is here, and it is my favorite season of the year(except for the season allergies).  The leaves are starting to turn and fall and the weather has been very nice to go along with it.  The new Wreath set is so much fun.  In the catalog it is displayed as a Holiday Wreath in green and red, but you can change the colors and it can look great for many season!

Seeing Stars!

Stars can be seen is many new products.  The New Catalog has a set of Framelits Stars, that allow you to create several sizes.  In the newest punch pack there is a small star punch, and in the Holiday Catalog is a Confetti Stars Punch.  So many options that look great together.

Holiday Catalog coming soon

On August 28th you can start to order from the Holiday Catalog, and here is a sneak peak of one of the great new products, the Curvy Keepsake Box will be great for the upcoming holidays.  This is from a thinlits die, you cut out two pieces and it goes together in a snap. Also notice the star folder and the new washi tape.  I can see this working as a great Halloween box!

Honeycomb Hello Stamp Set

Over the past few years, Stampin' Up! has been bringing out several items with the Honeycomb for backgrounds, and it has been fun using the folder and framelits to get some great designs.  Well now with the Honeycomb Hello stamp set, there are images with sayings and images that are specifically designed to fit inside the honecomb.  What a great idea, now it is easy to add some words or designs without having to add a layer, I'm sure I'll be using this regularly.

World of Dreams

World of dreams is a nice bold stamp set that offers to look of a silhouette to several images.  I like the simplicity of the set, and out door images.  It is also great for guy cards, of course every once and awhile I like to incorporate the green and gold of my favorite team into cards!

Nuts About You

From the Hostess section of the catalog is a fun set called Nuts About You.  I see the squirrels in my yard all day long, summer or winter, sometimes just passing by, other times playing around.  So this set was one that I could have fun with, and feel inspired by.  It is only available available to Hostesses and will only be here for one year, so don't wait to earn it now!

Lost Lagoon

Lost Lagoon is one of the new In Colors this year and is a soft bluish green, that looks great with other colors or in a monochromatic look like this card.  The Work of Art set is just so much fun, and so easy to create quick very nice looking cards, for sure one of my favorites this year.

File Folder Card

Yes, I'm back to the Wisteria Wonder Blendabilities, but I wanted to show the colors next to Eggplant to show that with the color variation, they work well together.  For those of you that have not tried the Envelope Punch board, YES it can be used for more than envelopes!  Also for those of you that have tried to make boxes, soon there will be an Box Punch Board, watch for more details!

Darling Doily

I love the new Darling Doily Thinlit!  Just a layer of wax paper in between and it comes out looking great!  Not only does it cut of the design, but part of it is embossed as well.  My lighting must have been a bit off, because the card below does not look like Blackberry Bliss on Night of Navy, but the original card colors looked good together.  The other new set I used was the Honeycomb Hello stamp set, a great set to use with the honeycomb Framelit or Folder or without.

Wisteria Wonder Blendabilities

For those of you that know me, purple has always been my favorite color so of course that makes Wisteria Wonder a favorite of the Stampin' Up! colors.  I was so excited when the Blendabilities markers arrived, because with a pack of 3, it is kind of like 3 new colors!
