February 28, 2020....All About Kits Week...Today's Feature....Paper Pumpkin.....


First off, I must apologize for only three samples for this kit.....truthfully I peeked at it when I received it....but I did not create anything with it until today!  

I have been very busy so these cards are basically as per the instructions in the kit with a change out of a couple of ink colors, and rearranging the greeting placement.   

The kit comes with Rococo Rose and I added Pretty Peacock and Rich 
Razzleberry inks. 




Once I make some samples and put my own twist on them I will share them with you. I cannot wait to cut into those envelopes and use that beautiful inside for a card front!

Today's post I am featuring the Botanical Prints Product Medley found on page 61 of the Mini Catalog.  WOW!  I cannot gush enough about this HUGE kit! 


Oh my GOSH!  Wow! 
I first must apologize... this is going to be a long post full of lots of photos and a video.  

This Botanical Prints Product Medley is FANTASTIC!!  
I have tons of cards I made to share with you today, along with samples from Stampin' UP! and a video!  Grab a beverage and settle in stampers.....here we go!



 I cannot say enough good things about this product medley.  I have made nine cards thus far and I am not even 1/4 of the way through the products......it is HUGE!  Talk about good value!


Here is a video from Stampin' Up! 


And here are my cards:

These first two cards are 4x4 size and I used one 33/4 x 3 3/4 piece of laser-cut paper and the same size of designer series paper.  I just flipped them and have two totally different cards using the same supplies! 



 The lacy strip on the bottom of this card is the same sheet of laser paper as above....just cut off a wee strip and fussy cut 



Clean and crisp and simple...


For this one I changed it up a bit....I colored the designer series paper with my stampin blends...



Another simple card but let the designer series paper do all the work....



How about this bright and cheery beauty....gotta love the fabulous dsp



And my last card....I pulled out a retired stamp set and punch....because the lemon paper screamed to have a lemon on it....easy peasy! 


This massive kit includes:
  • Botanical Prints distinktive stamp set
  • Coordinating 7 pc Botanical Prints die set
  • 48 sheets of GORGEOUS designer series paper- double sided
  • 4 sheets of die cut accents
  • 4 sheets of AWESOME laser cut overlays
  • Roll of Old Olive 1/4" Twill Ribbon
  • 12 copper metal bee embellishments (SO CUTE!) 
For the nine cards above I used 8 sheets of the dsp and one laser overlay and one bee.  I have TONS of stuff left ....woo hoo!

Today's post I am featuring four cards I made in minutes using the cards from the Tropical Oasis Memories and More found on page 39.  This kit features a whopping 50 double side cards that can be used for cards or scrapbooking.  The imagery in this kit is FABULOUS! And these Memories and More mini kits are a FABULOUS value at only $15

For my first card, I love the drink in a coconut shell.....it takes me away from the winter blues to someplace warm and sunny.  I opted for no greeting on this card so I could use it for any occasion.  



For my second card, this beautiful flower image does all the work for me.  And the greeting was also from the kit too!  Bonus!




And check out this beauty.....love it! 



And finally....a beautiful pineapple with a glittery embossed greeting!  I love all these cards....they are so bright and cheery and happy!

February 21, 2020.....Demonstrator Encouragement....


Today I wanted to share this gorgeous card I received from Dale Hampshire, head of Stampin' Up! Canada. 

I LOVED getting this little surprise in the mail....love the encouraging words and support.  

Got me thinking.....about challenging you.  Who can you support and encourage?  Make a card and send it....make someone's day, the way Dale's card made my day.  

Happy Stamping!

February 20, 2020...Meercats in the sunset.....


These Shadow Technique cards are all over the internet....so of course, I had to give it a whirl with the OH SO FABULOUS  stamp set.....The Gangs All Meer.  

This is found on page 3 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure......and who doesn't love FREE stamps!  

Here is a close-up of that stamp set: 


And here are a couple more sample projects: 



The background of this card was masked and sponged and then I used the stamparatus to stamp the images.   

Next, a black marker to color in the "shadows" and voila!  

I love how the Granny Apple Green pops against the yellow-orange and black!  Fun!

Hi Stampers!  

I wanted to pop on to share today's card made with the fabulous Happy Birthday To You Sale-A-Bration freebie stamp set (page 8 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure)

The greeting is from the Label Me Bold Stamp set on page 36 of the mini catalog. 

This card features heat embossing and water-coloring.  

I love how this card turned out....so clean and simple yet soft and pretty.
