I’ve been showcasing some of the new holiday products that are available from Stampin’ Up! in the August to September mini catalog. But… there are so many products from last year’s mini that are still available – and on clearance! Who doesn’t love a bargain. See the links below if you are interested in any…
Maybe this scene takes place just after a snowstorm – I went with black, grays, and other neutrals to make a calm winter scene. The Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper brings a nice shimmer to the background – I used a few of the Subtle Shimmer Sequins for a few more areas of sparkle….
I really think the Festive & Bright Bundle is a great addition to anyone’s craft supply stash – I have used it to make bottle tags (see my post here) and the card above. You can cover the fall and winter holidays with it. I went with Halloween this time and decided to transform two…
The card projects in August’s Paper Pumpkin kit (Hope Box) are really gorgeous as is – I almost didn’t want to try anything different with them. I didn’t stray too far – I mixed up two of the included designs to make this card with it’s sweet little HOPE banner. I cut the banners in…
The Hand-Penned Suite was one of the first items I ordered when the new annual catalog launched – the flowers are drawn beautifully drawn. The art reminds me of a watercolor that my mother used to have hanging. The suite comes with Designer Series Paper – the colors (mostly from the Subtles family) are great…
What’s black and white and red all over? No….not that silly joke from elementary school – the answer is this Christmas card. The simple black, white, and red color scheme of this card makes it a fun way to spread some cheer. Here’s how I made the card: Score a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece…
Have you seen the Bay Window fancy fold? I think it has been around for a while but…. I just saw it for the first time last week and I knew right away that I had to give it a go. It folds flat for mailing and then it can be propped open to stand…
It’s time to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin if you want to join the fun of September’s kit. Treat packaging for 12 is what you’ll get with this fall-themed kit. 4 each of 3 designs (apples, pumpkins, and jack-o-lanterns). And the box that the kit ships in can convert into a vintage-inspired wheelbarrow for a fun…
I’ve been focusing so much on the wonderful new Christmas sets available in the new Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog that I’ve been neglecting the super cute Halloween collection available. This adorable set is aptly named…..Cute Halloween Suite Collection. And it’s Friday the 13th – so there’s that. The stamp set comes with a punch to…
I really believe that if I keep making Christmas items, the heat will go away. It’s not working but I’m having too much fun to stop. The Festive Foliage stamp (available in the annual catalog) was pretty high up on my list of “Yes Please!!!!” back in May. Great as a background or right up…
