Pretty Snowflake

I love these snowflake ornaments we made at card club last week.  They look like they would be difficult to duplicate, but really, they're not!

Created using the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching Festive Flurry Framelits  for the Big Shot.  This ornament also includes Red Glimmer Paper, Silver Embossing Powder and Window Sheets. 

The layers are held together with a hot glue gun.  No, that's not a Stampin' Up! product.  Any old glue gun will do the trick!

Lovely & Joyful

I've posted a lot of projects lately featuring Joyful Christmas and today is no different. I love this card we made at Card Club Wednesday night. The card features many different new products and some old favourites like Lovely as a Tree!

The base of the card was cut out using the new Thinlits Circles for the Big Shot. They are so easy to use and give your cards motion and dimension!

The tree is decorated using Candy Dots in Regals and the front of the card features paper from the Season of Style Designer Series paper pack.

Very Merry Tags

I wasn't going to post this yet, but I just love it too much not to share.  The photo doesn't do it justice.

This is a tag we will be making in my upcoming "Very Merry Bags & Tags" class.  I just love how it turned out!

The Big Shot and several framelits feature prominently in this tag design.  The background was cut using the Apothecary Accents framelits; the leaves using Secret Garden framelits and the Woodgrain embossing folder lends texture to the background.

The image is stamped using Stampin' Write Markers and the mistletoe berries are topped with our basic pearls.  

Don't you think this tag would look beautiful upon your hard-thought gifts?

Snowy Day

Did you know there are only 48 days until Christmas? That means less than 48 days to get all your holiday cards and projects completed. If you're stuck for ideas, stay tuned as I will be posting ideas every day for the next 2 weeks. There is still lots of time to place an order and get your supplies to create gorgeous holiday cards and gifts!
We are starting today with a card I did up for my card club last month. This card features the stamp set Snowy Day. I love how versatile this set can be. Yes, it's a snow man...but the possibilities really are endless. Be sure to check back for more Snowy Day ideas! The background is a sheet of DSP from our Season of Style paper pack. Embellishments of linen thread and dazzling diamonds glitter make this card too cute to handle.

Natural Simplicity

I wanted to share this beautiful card I received in the mail from Jamilla Ivits congratulating me on my promotion to Consultant!

Of course, I have all of you to thank as I wouldn't be where I am without all of you! Thank you for your continued support! The card features some lovely Fall themed products and if you've followed my blog for any time, you'll know that Fall is my favourite season! I adore how she used our Sweater Weather DSP to give the card that birch bark look. She then layered our Burlap ribbon with stamped and die cut images using the Autumn Accents Big Shot framelits (which are part of this week's Weekly Deals) and coordinating stamp set Wonderfall. This is a favourite from the FAll 2012 catalog that was carried over!
Topped off with a sentiment from Itty Bitty Banners and matching framelits Bitty Banners, and a Naturals Designer button the card just feels like Fall; don't you think?

Bite Me

It's a little late as I meant to post this before Hallowe'en, but this card is just too cute NOT to share!

Check out the cuteness of Bite Me:

Mosaic Punch Art

I love the new Mosaic punch from the 2013-14 Catalog.  It co-ordinates perfectly with the Mosaic Madness stamp set and Modern Mosaic embossing folder and the Quatrefancy Specialty DSP.  That's a lot of co-ordination!

BUT, did you know you can use it to create other beautiful embellishments for your projects?

Check out this beautiful Christmas card made by Karen Marcotte.  She used the punch to create the focal point, a large poinsettia.  Do you see it?  Each petal is punched and gently curled then placed with care.  The card features the new Chevron Ribbon and stamp set, Seasonal Sayings.

Flowers & Grunge

If you saw my earlier post about the new set Gorgeous Grunge, you'll recognize some of the images on this fantastic card.  This was one of our make & take projects from our Demonstrator meeting on the weekend.  I love the combination of floral and grunge.  The large flowers are from the Regarding Dahlias set, and the butterfly is from the Best of Butterflies set.  You'll find the greeting in Lots of Thanks.

I love the feel of this card, how we combine soft and sweet with a certain roughness.  Just think of all the possibilities when you combine Gorgeous Grunge with other stamp sets you may already own!  To order any of the products found here, send me an email or shop online 24/7!

Of course, to see these products in action, book your in home party today.

Gorgeous Grunge

One of my favourite things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is that I don't have to be creative.  Yes, I do come up with some beautiful projects on my own; but many times I CASE (copy and share everything) my ideas.

This past weekend I attended a demonstrator meeting where I got to chat with other demos about the business side of our Stampin' Up! hobby.  During the meeting we had a swap and I brought home 44 beautiful card designs to share.  

One if my favourites features the new stamp set Gorgeous Grunge.  

Unfortunately, the talented demonstrator who made this card forgot to put her information on it, so I can't give her credit where credit is due.

To order Gorgeous Grunge or any of the other products seen here, email me or order 24/7 from my online store.

For card club this past week, we created this card using basic black, bermuda bay and very vanilla; the accents are primrose pink.  I LOVE the colour combination.  A little punching, embossing and spritzing just give this card a little something extra.
