Today's project follows on from the extended Square Pillow Box die one - if you have that die - you also have these super cute framelits!
I made some quick tags using the tiny cut outs and frames from the Pillow Box and a mini envelope using the Real Red envelope paper and Envelope Punch Board.
I just dotted in the holly berries with a Real Red Marker and the greeting comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Today I am sharing a special card I made for my downline Sara. She was very poorly - but I am delighted to say is fine now!
Her favourite colour is Wisteria Wonder so of course there was no question what the colour of the card should be. I stamped the panels using the Tape It stamp set to create the washi tape in wisteria look. :)
The panel was embossed Silver Foil - I used the Fancy Fan embossing folder.
I also used 3 frosted finished - which impressed Sara immensely! LOL
The flip mechanism and the little pop up label was made using the Label Card Thinlets die and the greeting comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Woo hoo! It's here - the new Stampin' Up! catalogue. You can click HERE to see it or if you would like your own copy, please contact me.
SO MUCH to share today including a video for you.
Over the last couple of days I have held two launch events and lots of lovely ladies came along to ooh and ahh and make and eat cake and have fun! Want to see a few photos?
I set up the party in my home, in the dining room, (which is the room I teach in), I set up a small display, my demo table, which later became one of the two make and take tables. The living room held the main display and another make and take.
Of course we HAVE to have cake! I baked Stampin' Up! stamped shortbread biscuits, tea loaf and my famous Key Lime Cheesecake. Yummy!
The smaller display in my teaching room was a selection of goodies made with the stunning Mosaic Madness Designer Series Paper.
Below the Mosaic Madness goodies is my new colours display.
And here is my main display. I have had so much fun creating everything. You will see lots of upcoming close up pictures and videos coming up on my blog.
It was so hard to decide what to show you first...but here is a video featuring our lovely new In Colors.
I thought I would share a couple of Christmas cards today. I know if you are making a big stack of Christmas cards, you need to keep it simple. So here is a quick and easy one for you!
The image is from Lovely as a Tree and the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes. The card is Gumball Green and the layer is in Raspberry Ripple.
I finished with a bit of Dazzling Details to add some bling.
Now for a stepped up version - here I layered up Lucky Limeade and Early Espresso and Whisper White. I stamped the same tree image using Garden Green and then put all three layers through the Big Shot with the Holiday Frame Embossing Folder.
I then stamped the top of the tree again and punched out with the XL Oval Punch. I added baubles in real red ink on the popped up portion.
Another couple of Betsy's Blossoms cards today. This stamp set is so beautiful to use. Did you know Stampin' Up! have updated their ink pads to give even better ink coverage with just a couple of taps of the stamp? These new in colours are the ones I have in the new design and it certainly makes getting that beautiful crisp image even easier than before.
I thought I would do a matching tag to go with this card...
...this time I used the Bird Punch to create the bird and punched out the wing image. The greeting comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes and I used a snip of the new 1/4" Stitched Grossgrain Ribbon tied with some Linen Thread to finish the project.
One of the things I love about the new Snow Flurry die from the Stampin' Up! Autumn/Winter catalogue is that nothing is wasted. I had cut out some sparkly red snowflakes from the Glimmer Paper, and realised that the leftover would make a fabulous card.
I attached the red Glimmer Paper to a white card and just added the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes and the white Bakers Twine and a snip of ribbon and my card was done.
I love it! Hope you like it too.
BLOG HOP ON FRIDAY!
Now do come back on Friday - I am taking part in a team blog hop and there will be lots of ideas and projects for you....
Today I am sharing a card I made much earlier this year when my downlineTracey was under the weather. I knew she must be properly poorly because until then I had NEVER known her to be ill.
So a card was in order and this is the one I made. It features the pear stamp from Faith in Nature. I watercoloured in soft colours to match the designer paper.
The greeting comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes - my most used greeting set. I have layered the Word Window, Large Oval and Modern Label punch to make the greeting pop.
I am glad to say that in no time at all Tracey was up and crafting!
Today I am sharing three cards with a similar theme, all featuring stamps from the Spring Mini Stampin' Up! Catalogue. (Click the Catalogues tab at the top of this blog to see it for yourself).
This first one we made at team training - do you like the torn fabric ribbon? The background stamp set is Paisley Petals and the beautiful peacock comes from Proud Peacock.
The next card once again uses Paisley Petals, this time for both the background and the foreground. The foreground images are coloured using the rock n roll technique. I added a neutrals button and some Linen Thread for added texture.
The third of this trio I used the Creative Elements stamp set. I do love this set - I hope you do too.
Another February class project today. We made a cute little gift box with a butterfly on top. The beautiful designer series paper that makes the lid is Everyday Enchantment which is one of the choices that you can recieve for FREE with a qualifying order during Sale A Bration. (Let me know if you would like some!)
The stamping is all done using the Creative Elements stamp set - I just LOVE these stamps.
I did the butterfly using the marker to stamp technique - and do you notice the Postage Stamp punch under the butterfly.
