Create Stunning Christmas Cards Easily With Our Seasons of Green & Gold Suite

 Hi Friends!

I am hosting a Season Of Green & Gold Mega Stamp Camp in August.

When this suite came out, I ordered it as soon as I could. Why, you ask?  Well, I saw it in Mexico at the Stampin' Up! incentive trip (less than 1% of Demonstrators qualify for the trips) and fell in love with it.

The greens are gorgeous.

The added Gold Foiling just elevates the patterned paper even more.

The printed Vellum is beautiful.

Oh, and both of the stamp sets and dies are amazing too.

Here's a picture of the suite ....

On Monday I created a card using this suite during my facebook live.

I also threw in a sneak peek of a new embossing folder - Birch Wood - coming in the Fall Catalogue in September!

How to create a simple easel card using the Sophisticated Sled bundle.

 Hi Friends!

On Thursday I shared how to create this pretty Christmas card using the Sophisticated Sled bundle.

You can stamp, die cut and colour the sled. OR you can use the dies to create the same effect. In the video I share how to use the dies as well.

The easel is held up by two stamped floral "swag" or "garland" and they are popped up on dimensionals.

Using the Thoughtful Journey patterned paper and Under The Moon stamp set to create a quick and easy birthday card suitable for anyone.

Hi Friends!

Today's card uses the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper (aka patterned paper) for the background to a pretty sailing scene.

We used to own sailboats. The first one was the "Flying Camel" and it was 27 feet long, did not have a fridge, but did have a "head" (aka bathroom) and bunks for the kids.

Then we graduated to the Maraya, a 32 foot sailboat with all the comforts of home.  Here's a picture of it, and our dog Popi (who is no longer with us) who enjoyed every minute on both boats with us.

We no longer have a sailboat, but we do have a power boat that we get to go out on the water with. I love the water and miss it.

But now I can stamp scenes with this stamp set and it brings back all the memories we had for all those years. 

This card uses Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, Peach Pie and Smoky Slate to create the beautiful scene.

Here's the recipe of what I used:

  Boho Blue card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2

  Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (inside), 1/2 x 4 (for sentiment), 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 (die cut circle)

  Thoughtful Journey patterned paper  5-1/4 x 4 (front), 3/4 x 4 (inside), 2 x 6 on the envelope.

          This uses a complete 6x6 piece of this paper.

I also used:

  Wink of Stella, 3 Pack Tinsel Gems, Deckled Circle Dies and the Simply Said stamp set.

How to create a quick and easy and beautiful card using the Seaside Wishes bundle and some In Colour patterned paper.

 Hi Friends!

On Monday night during my facebook live demonstration, I shared how you can create a quick and easy card using the Seaside Wishes bundle.

This bundle has a "Hybrid Embossing Folder" in it, along with the stamp set and dies.

Seaside Wishes Bundle #163498  $65.50 (plus shipping and tax)

A Hybrid Embossing Folder is quite unique in that you can place the die inside the embossing folder, then add your paper. When you run it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine it embosses and die cuts at the same time!  

And the result is amazing! Here's the card I created ... I received the original card by Jen Bach in a swap in Mexico.

You may be thinking "well I don't need that stamp set, but I love the embossing folder and dies". And you are right. And the good news is that you can purchase just the embossing folder and dies #163497  $45.00 (plus shipping and tax)

CLICK HERE to go to my Online Store and grab the bundle, or just the folder and dies!

How to make a Sunset & Silhouette card using the Under The Moon stamp set and a few ink colours.

 Hi Friends!

Well, it's summer here for sure. We have been enduring hot days of 30 to 40 deg C temps.

So what better way to stay cool than stamping in my craft room?  

I am finally catching up from my latest adventure to Puyallup for the Dog Show. And now it's time to create some Christmas cards. 

I am hosting a Mega Christmas Card Class in August featuring the Season Of Gold & Green Suite! Lots of cards and you can order more than one kit too!  These cards will be quick and easy but beautiful and you will be able to reproduce them at home afterwards using the exclusive PDF with all the measurements and links to the video tutorials.

Stay tuned for more information, but save the date of Friday, August 23 for the In Person class and Tuesday, August 27 for the Virtual class.

And now on to the card I created during my facebook live demonstration last Thursday.

I used the Under The Moon stamp set, and some beautiful sunset colours, to create this card.

It looks difficult, but it's really NOT!

Sharing our Grand Daughter's 4th Birthday Card. She loves Bluey and Bingo!

Hi Friends!

We recently travelled to northern British Columbia, Canada for our Grand Daughter's 4th birthday.

Miss Maggie is a heart breaker for sure. She's the first girl in 2 generations on our side, and we are enjoying the difference between "pink" and "blue".

I love to make custom cards for all 4 of our Grand Children for their birthdays. This year Maggie loves all things Bluey and Bingo.

This is a cartoon on the TV and she loves it, but she also loves clothes, toys, pictures .... well, everything Bluey!

This is the card I made for her ...

I chose to print a picture from the internet of Bluey and Bingo. Then I fussy cut it and added it on top of the Floating Background Technique.

Her favourite colour is pink with purple a close second. So the Petunia Pop Glitter Paper was perfect!

We also got her a Bluey dress from Amazon. Maggie wears a dress every single day. She usually has pants under it, and maybe a top too. But there is a dress (or glittery skirt).  She has the most amazing collection of frilly, blingy, colourful dresses I have ever seen. Lol

This is the dress we got her. She put it on right away and wore it all day.

It's so fun to play dress up with our Grand Daughter every single day.

Recently she wanted to watch "Frozen" with Mommy. But first she had to have full make up on (yes including the glitter on her face) and wear her Frozen dress.  She is so cute! (sorry I don't share pictures of our grand children online so there is no picture of her here).

How to create a cute card using the Charming Duck Pond and Lily Pond Lane patterned paper!

Hi Friends!

Each month my Craft Room Stampers Team and I gather on zoom for some stamping and fun and recognition.

In June we did a Mystery Stamping card and everyone loved it.

This is the card we created ...

Some cards looked relatively similar, and some not at all lol. Do you see the frog? If you have been around me any length of time you will know my feelings about frogs. But I decided to step outside my comfort zone with this Charming Duck Pond set and add a frog to the inside!

This is a great layout and can be used for any occasion, with any stamp set or bundle and with any patterned paper. 

I was inspired to create this card by the template #3 in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. There are 22 inspiration sketches in the catalogue on page 22.  It's such a great resource when you are stuck and don't know where to start!

If you live in Canada, and don't already have a Demonstrator, I would love to be your Demo.  

EMAIL ME for a Canadian catalogue and we will make it happen.

How to create a quick and easy masculine card using the Charming Duck Pond bundle and Country Woods patterned paper.

 Hi Friends!

I saw this layout by Mary Deatherage using the Charming Duck Pond bundle, and knew I needed to make it.

I changed up a few things to make it my own, but I just love the layout and the "masculine" feel of the card.

The use of the Country Woods patterned paper in the background makes this a unique card for sure. 

It's quick and easy to create with minimal die cutting, and only a small amount of stamping.

These dies are easy to use on their own, or with the coordinating stamp set.
