Thanks Starfish – Stampin’ Up! Card

It’s a little strange the way my mind works, We are suppose to get our first snow fall this morning here in my area of Ohio and what am I stamping?  That’s right, a beach scene, lol.  Well, I know it is warm even hot in a lot of locations throughout the world, I guess I’m wishing I was there with my toes in the sand.  If you are in a cold region like me, we can at least think and stamp warm thoughts.

Today’s main image comes from another rocking nature stamp set, Picture Perfect, item 140520.  This realistic stamp set has two and even three step stamp images for super easy coloring of those images.

I put a “thanks” sentiment on this card but it would also be wonderful as a Birthday or thinking of you.  🙂

Deer in the Moonlight – Stampin’ Up! Card

Posted on January 6, 2016 | 2 comments

DSC_0060

Hello there,

I’m so excited to have such a wide variety of new stamping supplies from the new  Stampin’ Up! Occasion catalog to use.  As always, I lost my mind and purchased almost everything in it.  But, you want to see it used right? So that is why I had to, lol.  That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

I mean how could I not buy the In The Meadow stamp set I used today.  Holy cow!  I love these images.

In today’s tutorial I’ll show you how to get a nice warm brown on the deer by layering color and how to layer objects in your scene to get depth.  🙂

Sunset Love – Stampin’ Up! Card

Posted on January 4, 2016 | 3 comments

DSC_0053

Hello there,

Things have settled down around here from all the holiday fun.  Russ went back to work this morning after having a week off.  Not sure why but, I always have trouble getting things done when he is at home.  I guess because he is on vacation I think I should be too.  Also, when he is home I feel like everyday is Sunday and I totally lose track of what day of the week it is, crazy.

Anyway, I am happily back in my studio stamping away.  I couldn’t resist using a few new products that will be out TOMORROW!!!  That’s right, tomorrow the new Occasions catalog goes live and it is also the start of our yearly Sale-a-bration event where you earn free products for every $50 of merchandise you purchase.  I will put up links here to both the Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration brochure in the morning.  They are fantastic so be prepared to view them with your feet up and a cup of your favorite beverage.

If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and you wish to order from me, please e-mail your shipping address to [email protected] and I can send you out copies.

Now for today’s project I used a new stamp set called beautiful Ride, item #140738.  It has some really fun elements in it, plus this couple that is clearly in love.  I teamed the set up with a brand new fancy frilly die cut heart called Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Dies, item number 140621.  I die cut it out of the beautiful new Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper, item #140550.  Many, many Valentine cards will include this paper this year, it is stunning.

On another note. . . . . . .

With a new catalog coming in we must say goodbye to the ever wonderful holiday catalog.  If you have yet to get everything you want out of it, please be aware that today is the last day of the holiday catalog sales period, so give it a once over so you don’t miss out on anything.

HAVE A WONDERFULLY CREATED DAY!

UNTIL MY NEXT POST. . . . . . .  .

Huge Hugs!

Grand Daughters Hailie and Aubree bringing in the New Year.  🙂

Hello Everyone,

Happy New Year to you and yours!

My Happy New Year wish for you
