AESTAMPS A LATTE

Hello, stamping friends! Today I am sharing a Sale-a-bration stamp set called Best Day Ever  that you can earn for FREE with a $50 order starting January 6, 2015! There are 9 stamps in this trendy stamp set which will work great for both card making and scrapbooking. For this card, I just stamped those cute little triangles and hearts randomly around creating my own background paper. I stamped the sentiment in versamark onto Pool Party cardstock and embossed it in white.  I punched it out with my 1 3/4" circle punch, added a Strawberry Slush Starburst Framelit behind it, and then topped it off with a 2 1/4" scallop circle to create a flower.  Card recipe: Cardstock: Pool Party, So Saffron, Strawberry Slush and Pink Pirouette. Ink: Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Straw berry Slush, and Pink Pirouette. Product links used to create this card:              Well, I hope you have enjoyed seeing my card creation using a ...

Good morning! I can not believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! I think this is the first time in a very long time we will NOT have a white Christmas!  I am not complaining, because it was very cold over Thanksgiving, but it just feels weird since we have had snow on the ground since the beginning of November.  We haven't seen the sun in over 2 weeks and its been foggy and raining.  Very strange for us up here! Here is a very Merry Christmas card for you! Colors are: Pistachio Pudding, Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green.  Can't get enough of the FESTIVAL OF TREES  stamp set and matching TREE punch!  Love them! Product Links:     I hope you have a blessed celebration with your family and friends!  Merry CHRISTmas to you!

Hello!  I am taking a break from the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations to post a card I made a while back.  It's such a fun card! I used the Snowflake Thinlits Die to create this cool card.  All supplies are Stampin' UP! Here it is: I played around with the die a lot and came up with many different versions of where the snowflake sits, and how the card opens. This cad opens in the center. Below you can see what it looks like after you untie it and open it up. I just LOVE that snowflake!  It's so darn pretty! And see the trees?  They are a die also from the Snowflake Thinlit card die.  And below is the other side of the card.  You can't see the inside/other snowflake- too difficult to take a picture of it, but it looks cool, too. : ) RECIPE: Colors are: Pear Pizzazz and Lost Lagoon.  I used Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding ribbon, and my 2" and 2 1/4" circle punches for the front of the card, and the inside sentiment was stamped w...

Hello, stampers! Today, I am sharing another Christmas card I made for this years Christmas mailing. The HOLIDAY HOME stamp set really is an awesome set and I know I will get lots of uses with it! Such a fun card to make! I felt like I was in art class making this card. : ) Colors are Cherry Cobbler, Lost Lagoon, Basic Gray and Basic Black.  I used my Blendabilities to color the center house, while the other 2 were just stamped in Black onto Basic Gray card stock and cut out using the HOMEMADE HOLIDAY Framelits Dies.      So much fun! Thanks for stopping by!  Happy stamping!

Hello, stampers! Today, I am sharing a fun Christmas card I made using the SNOWFLAKE CARD THINLITS DIES with the matching LETTERPRESS WINTER stamp set.  Here it is: Colors are: Blue Lagoon, Soft Sky and Silver.  On the left side of the card, I added a strip of white cardstock and a piece of ALL IS CALM DESIGNER WASHI TAPE to make it a full sized card.  I stamped the smallest snowflake from the Letterpress Winter stamp set along with the snowflake from the Holiday Home stamp set randomly onto the Blue Lagoon piece after it was die cut.  The large snowflake was stamped in Blue Lagoon and cut it out using the Snowflake card thinlit die. I then added a Silver Foil snowflake and a Soft Sky snowflake topped off with a basic pearl.  When you open it up, the inside snowflake has the word "joy" which is another die from this awesome set.  Season's Greetings is stamped and embossed in Silver embossing powder. Below is a close up of the beautiful snowflake ...

Hello!  Today, I am sharing another Christmas card that I am sending out this year.   The FESTIVAL OF TREES and the TREE punch from the Holiday Catalog and I have become quite close friends this year. : )   The colors are: Soft Sky, Island Indigo, Silver and White.  I stamped the snowflakes from the ENDLESS WISHES stamp set in Versamark and embossed with White and Silver embossing powder.  I punched 3 trees out of DAZZLING DETAILS Glimmer paper and added a Silver Foil paper star to one of them.

Last night, Stampin' UP! had their Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalog kick-off!  It was so much fun, and I am glad I did not let the potential MN weather deter me from signing up and attending. There are LOTS of goodies in the upcoming catalogs!! AND this year, Sale-a-bration starts at the same time as the release of the 2015 Occasions catalog! Yipee!!!  Get ready....it all starts JANUARY 6, 2015! Hoot-Hoot! Okay,  I must move back to our current holiday: Christmas!  Here is a little show and tell of another Christmas project stamp club ladies made.   See what you could have received in your mailbox if you were a part of my online hostess club?  It's a shaker card - but we did not use foam tape. We used regular tape so that we could still mail it without extra cost! : )  We used the HOLIDAY HOME  stamp set with the matching HOMEMADE HOLIDAY Framelits. The shaker card is filled with white sequins to make it look like i...
