Watercolor Wonder is one of the new product suites in the 2014 Occasions Catalog and it features lovely soft colors as well as coordinating stamps and accessories. One such product is the set of Watercolor Wonder Designer Note Cards and Envelopes on page 23. The set contains 20 printed, pre-scored cards on watercolor paper, heavier than regular cardstock, four each of five designs! Twenty Ivory envelopes are also included! These cards are so pretty and make up so easily! Here I added a strip of Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper (#132994) and a focal point stamped with the new Sale-A-Bration set "You're Lovely" and diecut with a Deco Label Framelit! So quick! The roses on this card are pre-printed in shades of Tangerine Tango; the focal image was stamped with Crisp Cantaloupe and diecut with the Deco Label Framelit, as was the first one! How EASY-PEASY is that?! I hope to get some more done soon; I do have other new Occasions and Sale-a-Bration sets and accessories calling my name, as well as I'm trying to get some deep cleaning done around here too! Busy-busy! Do check back soon for more updates and samples! Shop my online Stampin' Up! website HERE for these and other products! Stay warm and safe in all this crazy cold weather! Margaret

I had the unfortunate need for two sympathy cards this week, so I was really glad I had the Simply Sketched set on hand to make some appropriate expressions. To make the window, I used the new Deco Labels Framelits for the Big Shot and I tried out the awesome new Magnetic Platform for the first tim. Holy cannoli, Batman! That thing is amazing! No more slippage--no wasted paper--no need for washi tape or post-it notes to hold the Framelits down! I used two nesting sizes of the Deco Labels, and adhered the slender frame horizontally over my vertically-cut window...

Yesterday, I had a chance to play with my latest Blendabilities. I am pretty happy with how my coloring came out. I am new to alcohol markers, they are a bit of a challenge, but I am enjoying them. This card is a mix of Old and New... sort of a "throw-back Thursday" card :) I chose to color images from the Hostess Set Bloom with Hope. What can I say, it was already out my table :) I colored the flower with my Pink Pirouette and Daffodil Delight Blendabilities markers then fussy-cut it. The leaves are stamped directly onto the Deco Label die cut and colored with Wild Wasabi Blendies. To recreate this project yourself, you will find my shopping/supply list at the bottom of this post.

... Goedemorgen vandaag een kaart die ik heb gemaakt met een stempel uit de Sale A Brations folder. Een hele leuke set waarmee je verschillende kanten mee op kan. Ik heb de stempel drie keer gestempeld, een in Crips Cantaloupe die ik heb uit gestanst met de Decorative Label framelits, een in Coastal Cabana die ik heb geponsd met de circkel pons en een in Sahara Sand die ik heb uitgeknipt. Op elkaar geplakt met Dimensionals zodat het niet zo plat op elkaar zit geplakt ;) Ik heb een stuk Sahara Sand cardstock geembosd met de Decorative Dots Embossing folder, die ook in de Sale A Brations folder staat, en op een stuk Whisper White cardstock geplakt. Uit Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock heb ik mini bloementjes geponst met een ponsje uit de Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack en er een rhinestone op geplakt. De blaadjes heb ik gemaakt met de Bird Builder Punch en is in de kleur Pear Pizzazz. Eronder een stukje deco draad die ik heb gekocht op mijn werk. ... Je kan je nog tot en met zondag opgeven voor mijn Kick Off Party in Heerenveen. Deze dag staat in het teken van de nieuwe Lente / Zomer catalogus en de Sale A Brations folder, we gaan verschillende kaarten en een project maken met producten uit beide folders. Je krijgt een goed gevuld pakket waarmee je alle kaarten en het project kunt maken en je houd ook nog over om thuis lekker verder te gaan. De kosten voor deze dag zijn €17,50 en dat is inclusief koffie, thee met iets lekkers en versnaperingen. Je moet wel je eigen lunch verzorgen en je basis materialen zoals snijapperaat, lijm, schaar etc meenemen. Opgeven kan tot en met zondag 26 januari via de mail. Ik mail je zo snel mogelijk terug als je je hebt opgegeven, als je nog vragen hebt dan hoor ik dat graag. .. Ik wens jullie een hele leuke dag en bedankt voor jullie leuke berichtjes. ..

Hey there! We've just had an absolutely wonderful, balmy day! Temps were up in the 50's, which means we were without coats for most of the day! But now the wind is howling around the house at about 40 mph,...

It's Tuesday so that means it's time for another sketch challenge from Try Stampin' on Tuesday. This week's twist is to use hearts and/or flowers. I went with flowers since I've been wanting to use the set You're Lovely from the Sale-a-bration catalog and haven't had a chance until now. I have a few more pics for you to look at since I actually had more than one of them turn out. lol I would have just used one of the pics below, but they didn't show the smooch spritz like the top pic, so I had to use that one. I seem to have a hard time getting the shimmer to show in my pics lately. Don't forget to check out what the other designers made at Try Stampin' on Tuesday HERE. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

The bee that comes in the new Springtime Hello stamp set goes so well with Flower Shop and Petite Petals, don’t you think? I have always had a fascination with bees! They are so industrious, working all of the time to make flower nectar into honey. It’s really quite amazing when you think about it. ... CONTINUE READING

Hi there, everyone! It's the Blog Hogger back with an update on Kathy's health. I am so happy (and relieved) to report that Kathy is doing much, much better today! Her fever is coming down (at times it's normal) and her blood pressure is good. They've taken her off pain meds (for muscle spasms in her leg). She's starting to chat with us and was even sitting in the chair in her room while we were visiting today! She's only getting the pain meds now as needed, rather than constantly, so they expect her to continue to improve quickly. The funniest (strangest?) thing about all this is that her back isn't hurting and she's doing wonderful in that regard! Weird, huh? Now, on to the card that made itself. I received a call last week and, while chatting, remembered the person had a birthday quickly getting closer! I scurried into my craft room and started a flurry of choosing cardstock, cutting, stamping and gluing. Instead of my usual tearing out of hair and indecisiveness, everything just seemed to work out perfectly the first time, and before you could shout, "It's a Man Card!", it was done! lol And here it is: And here are the details; Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake Ink: Chocolate Chip (for the sentiment & sponged onto the Crumb Cake layer) Accessories: Woodgrain Emboss Folder, Deco Labels Collection Framelits (the two smallest ones), random ribbon and brads It is literally a 10 min. card! (Gotta love those!) Stay tuned for some cards made from new product. Quick and easy...and so very happy hugs, Colleen

Thursday was a crazy busy, wonderful and FUN day! First, up early to register and secure my reservation for my very first Stampin' Up! Convention! After five years since I first joined Stampin' Up!, I am finally able to make the trek to Salt Lake City, Utah with the others! Wooo Hooo! Next it was time to deliver stamps from last Saturday's workshop to the girls at the office (I took the day off to be sure I did everything right during sign up!). Then off to lunch with the hub's, a little grocery shopping and home just in time for Mr. Brown (the UPS guy - for those of you who don't know who that is) to pull up to our driveway and deliver: THREE BOXES OF 2015 CATALOGS! Plus my pre-order and my very own free catalog (I don't look the least happy, do I - lol) HOW TO GET YOUR OWN CATALOG: If you are an active customer with me, you will automatically get a free catalog from me.

The Twisted Sistahs Challenge for February 14th was to make a Monochromatic card in blues or greens with at least three layers and use a punch. I used the punch that corresponds to the Petite Petals set. I embossed the little flowers to give them more dimension. I used Pool Party, Soft Sky and white card stocks and Pool Party Ink for the flowers. I also used some SU! DSP with those colors along with some Pool Party ruffled ribbon. This card was added to the Favorites Forum on Splitcoast Stampers last Sunday. I'm so honored! Thanks for stopping by!

Here's a version of Karen Burniston's ever popular Flying Easel card. I die cut the vellum from the Lattice die & sandwhiched it in between the Label Framelits. I've also used Beautiful Butterflies & Adorning Edgelits, the DSP is retired. To get the water splotches on the top of the card I sponged Crumb Cake onto the Regal Rose & then spritzed my hand with water & flicked it onto the card. The instructions to make a Flying Easel are on Karen Burniston's site Karen Burniston Happy Stamping, Raquel

Hi stampers! It's Tuesday and July already! Where is the summer going? Speaking of summer...we have a very summery color challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week! And you can try your hand at some of the new in colors! Here's what I did: Stampin' Supplies: Stamps: A dozen thoughts, everything Eleanor Paper: Whisper white, pistachio pudding Ink: Daffodil delight, pistachio pudding, crisp cantaloupe, strawberry slush Accessories: Deco labels collection framelits, pistachio pudding ruffled stretch trim, bitty butterfly punch Since the colors were bright I kept it simple. And that butterfly was punched from some leftover CS I had crimped for display stamping...how's that for a tease? :-) But it worked perfect since it was sitting there. Now go see what everyone else on the design team came up with and don't forget to play along! We'd love to have you! Happy stamping!

Happy Saturday my crafty friends! Hope you are prepared. I'm taking you behind the scenes of how I came up with the two cards I want to show you today. I’m submitting these for both a challenge and for applying for a design team member position. They are to show my creativity and style. I wouldn’t say that I have a certain style but I am one that loves to craft and hope it shows. You too can apply, there are three open design team positions. Interested CLICK HERE for more details. Color Combination: Measurements: Blushing Bride 4 ¼” x 11” scored at 5 ½” Tip Top Taupe 3" x 4" Perfectly Artistic DSP 2 7/8" x 3 7/8" Gold Fancy Foil Vellum 2 7/8" x 3 7/8" Tip Top Taupe 1" Lace Trim and Whisper White 5/8" Organza ribbons 14" each Ready to see my first card? Since love has been in the air lately. Well I've been creating lots of Valentine based cards and projects. I thought it would be a great idea to get started on some wedding/engagement cards. This next card is very "pink" but you can interchange the colors to match the specifics for the new couple. Originally started the card with stamping the sentiment first directly to the card base. There now lies the first of many tweaks I had made along the way. The whole image didn't stamp properly but you wouldn't have known that unless I told you. I’m going to let you on a secret. Shhh don't let anyone else know. The "two" was stamped blotchy. Guess not enough ink or not enough pressure. I thought of restamping (knew that wasn't going to happen because the chances of it lining up again were very slim.) I could have used the Stamp-a-majig but I should have used that to begin with. Then thought about starting over but then I wasted a perfectly good card base. So I measured the word "two" and took out the Large Number framelits to see if I stamped on a cut out of the "2" in the same color it would be like I intentionally made the card that way. BINGO! I was going with the last option because the wording fit perfectly on the framelit cutout. This time I stamped with VersaMark and poured gold embossing powder over the image and heat set it. I wanted it to stand out a bit. Not to call attention to my mistake but to show the number 2 is there acting like a pun but is on purpose to represent the two people. I also added a Blushing Bride glimmer heart for some more eye candy. What do you think? Different huh? Yeah well that's me. Unique. Ready for the inside of the card? I generally do not stamp the inside until I’m ready to use the card. The sentiment on the inside was lonely and I needed to add something. Initally I had the stamped heart images ready to use on the DSP on the front. With all the tweaking that took place I thought it would be good to use it on the inside. Leaving the front of the card to show the Perfectly Artisitic DSP (symbolising the blending of two lives), the hearts to represent lots of love the two people share and the two ribbons tied in a knot (symbolising the bond of marriage). Too much mushy gushy? I had thought to pop up the two bird heart with gold foil heart on top of the DSP and ribbon. Glad I had a backup plan. I am happy this stamp had two love birds on it so I could color them using my Tip Top Taupe Stampin’ Write Marker. Using my White Gel pen I gave them each an eye. I think you can see it in the picture below. I just love how the birds are facing eachother too! Are you ready to see the next card?

I have a masculine card to show you next. First of all what do you think of the color combination? Color Combination: Measurements: Soft Suede card base 4 ¼” x 11” scored at 5 ½” Cajun Craze 4" x 5 ¼” sponged with Cajun Craze ink and embossed with Boho Chic Always Artichoke punched with the 2 ½” Circle Watercolor Paper cut with the smallest Deco Label framelit I chose to make a masculine card for two reasons. First The Wilderness Awaits stamp set has been in my craft room unused. I know HOW is that possible? Next masculine cards are never easy to make unless your man doesn’t mind flowers and different colors. Narrowing down which image I was going to use was difficult since I didn’t know how I was going to layout the card. So I started with the fox. Stamping the fox on Watercolor paper and my handy Aqua Painters I started to color with Cajun Craze. Going over the areas again for a darker more defined look. You'll see it better in the next photo. Colored the grass with the Always Artichoke (again going over the grass blades to make it look darker) and the sky with Lost Lagoon. I added a hint of Soft Suede to his ears and nose. So my focal point was completed but needed to figure out the rest of the card. I continue on the basis of what haven't I used in a while. Boho Chic embossing folder was in my hands. I choose to stick with the colors I had used on my fox image. I tore the bottom right side of the Cajun Craze thinking it would be a great spot for my tired fox. This will give the rest of the area the attention of the embossing image. Ran it through my Big Shot and then sponged to make it look a bit rustic. It was all coming together but needed a senitment. I stamped the "For You" on Cajun Craze card stock with Soft Suede ink. Punched it out of the Word Window and punched a 1 1/16" hole to allow the Linen Thread through. Wrapped the Linen Thread around the Cajun Craze embossed piece and tied a bow. I like just having a few masculine cards on hand that have multipurpose use. Could be a Thinking of You, Birthday, Thank You, Just Because, etc. I left the inside of this card blank. Here is a closer view of the fox and that hard to see Always Artichoke 2 ½” Circle. Isn't this fox image pretty. The Stampin' Up! image artists do an excellent job of keeping the images almost life like. I played along with The Watercooler Wednesday Challenge (#WWC52). Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you enjoyed my two cards and the behind the scenes look at how I created them. I know I generally do not go into that much detail on my daily posts but I thought you would appreciate it.
