Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Goodies!

I just got my preorder of Occasions and Sale-a-Bration goodies.  I know I'm a little late, but I had to hold off with Christmas right around the corner.  This has been a very crazy month for me already.  My son gets out for the winter break on Friday at 2:30 and you can bet your bottom dollar I will be upstairs in my craft room digging in to all this lusciousness!!!  I'll be sure to share ASAP!

Peaceful Pines for the Holidays

I participate in a monthly card swap with some fabulous ladies.  This card was my swap for October ... I know, I know.  I'm pretty late in sharing!  The good news is that the stamp set and matching framelit are being carried over into the Occasions Catalog which begins January 5, 2016.  And if you before January 5, you can purchase the stamp set and framelits in a bundle and save 15%!!!  I love the festive feel of this card.

October Customer Thank You

Each month I make a little thank you card for my customers.  I am a little late in posting October's, although they did go out in the mail on time!  I also include a PDF with instructions and supplies needed to recreate the card.  I was really happy with this card.  Once again I featured the Acorny Thank You stamp set.  Love this little gem!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Let's try this again!

Once again, life has gotten in the way of my creative time.  It's been quite a while since I last posted.  I have several projects to share over the next several days and I've been working on updating my blog pages to have current contact/ordering information.  My contact page and order page are now good to go.  If you'd like to join me on this Stampin' Up! demonstrator journey, you will still need to contact me directly as that page is not updated yet. 

 

This was a fun card to make!  It was for a monthly swap that I participate in.  I love how the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder with some ink swiped over the top adds so much to this card.  I'm really sad to see it retire.  The Acorny Thank You stamp set was NOT on my list of favorites when I first saw the Occasions Catalog.  However, it quickly rose to the top!  It is just so stinkin' cute! 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my card today.  The supplies needed to recreate this card are below.

Pinterest Inspiration

My nephew (who is also an avid baseball player) turned 9 on Sunday.  I knew I wanted to make him a baseball themed card, so off to Pinterest I went!  When I saw THIS card I knew I'd found the card to case.  I contacted my SIL to find out what his team colors were and used those as my palette.  I started with a Night of Navy card base and a Whisper White canvas.  I have to admit -- I am a paper hoarder!  I have got the paper stacks going back several years in every color family and I have sworn to myself that I will NOT order any more color family paper stacks (except new In Colors) until I've exhausted my stockpile.  However, even though the designs on my DSP have retired, the colors have not and you can still get the Designer Series Paper Stacks in all color families (and I've linked those for you below). 

 

I used the Red Glimmer Paper with the Stars Framelits to create the outlined stars and the Night of Navy card stock to create the solid star.  I then ran the Night of Navy star through my Big Shot with the Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I punched the "baseball" with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch and drew the stitching on with my Real Red Stampin' Write Marker, which I then popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.  The Night of Navy strip was punched with the star from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.  The sentiment is from the Crazy About You stamp set.  I sure hope he loves his card as much as I loved making it for him! 

 

Thanks for stopping by!
