Happy New Year And Some Cards!!

 Happy New Year And Some Cards!!

I hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year! All the best for a wonderful, peaceful and healthy 2024 to everyone!

Ooooh, how I love 💜 the new products that I used to make these 2 cards!!!!

You don't have to wait much longer to see them for yourself! On Thursday January 4th, 2024 the new January-April 2024 and the 2024 Sale-A-Bration Catalogues go live! 

My inspiration for these cards came right from the artists at Stampin' Up! I saw a card in the SAB Catalogue that I feel in love with. I added my own twist to it, and I just love how they turned out!

Can you spot all the new products that I used!! Check out that amazing "Layered Florals 3D" Embossing Folder!! For this card I used Old Olive and Calypso Coral Inks for the flowers and Pretty Peacock Ink for the sentiment.

I loved this layout so much I made another similar card. This time I used Old Olive, Highland Heather and Pretty Peacock Inks.

The stamp set I used is a Sale-A-Bration offering called "Softly Sophisticated". The dies are from a Bundle called "Thoughtful Expressions", it has great sentiments, art work  and 19 dies! Can you see that ribbon? It's "Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8" Metallic Ribbon". It is so soft and easy to work with. 

Which one do you like better?

Don't forget to decorate the envelope too.

I carried forward the look of the card front to the inside. Simple but pretty.

Coming soon, very soon.......

I hope you find time to be creative today.

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Merry Christmas!!!

 Merry Christmas!

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and health and happiness for 2024!

Here are a few of the cards I sent out this Christmas and a cute wood ornament I made!

When I found I was running out of time to make more cards, I used the Beary Christmas Memories And More Cards and Envelopes to whip up some quick cards!

I ordered some wood rounds from Amazon and stamped on them using the Trucking Along Stamp Set to make this cute keepsake ornament. 

Coming January 4th, 2024!!

The NEW January-April 2024 Catalogue starts on January 4th! 

Sale-A-Bration 2024 starts on January 4th as well! I love earning FREE goodies!

Please try to make some time for yourself during this busy holiday season. Self care is very important. 💜

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Hugs,

FREE Shipping And A Emboss Resist Christmas Card

 Sparkling Snowflakes Emboss Resist Card

I decided to re-visit the "Emboss Resist Technique". It has been around a long time and I thought the Sparkling Snowflakes Bundle was the perfect stamp set for it! I have seen many samples from other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators doing this technique with the Sparkling Snowflakes so I had lots of inspiration and ideas to "CASE" from. (Copy and share everything).

It's not your traditional Christmas colours but it is so pretty!

I stamped the snowflakes all over the Basic White Card Stock panel using VersaMark Ink. Then I sprinkled on White Embossing Powder and heat set it using the Heat Tool. Then using Blending Brushes I added Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather Ink to the panel. Once I was happy with the amount of colour I blended on, I used a piece of paper towel to gently remove and ink from the embossed snowflakes so they would be free from ink and be bright white. I added some ribbon and a snowflake punched tag and some bling! 

I stamped the inside as well to coordinate with the card front. I also did the same to my envelope.

All the colours and supplies I used are listed below. I hope you find some time to try out this fun technique.

FREE Shipping!! Great time to stock up on essentials...... or anything else!!

You can shop for Clearance Rack items, On-Line Exclusives, Kits and even pre-paid Paper Pumpkin Subscriptions!!
