Card: Watercolor Christmas Welcomes Baby Boy


Hello!

A few day's back, I showed you my Baby Girl card (see it here) featuring the Watercolor Christmas stamp set and Smitten Mittens Bundle, which both made their debut in the Holiday Catalog.

Today, I'm sharing my Baby Boy version.  I incorporated the Labeler Alphabet stamp set this time.  I will say, however, that I lined up all of my individual letters on one block but, I don't like how far apart the letters appear.  


Therefore, I would suggest stamping your letters individually.  A little more cumbersome but, the results would probably be worth it.  

If you would like to create this card yourself, I have links to the supplies I used posted below.
If you have any questions, give me a shout!  I'm happy to help!

Happy Stamping!

Super Simple Card With The Quilted Christmas Suite

Hello,

Today I am sharing a super simple card, created with the coordinating products found in the Quilted Christmas Suite.  I Love this whole collection!  Not only are the colors bright and cheery, they are a mix of traditional and modern.  The patterns in the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Papers are a delightful mix of patterns that will extend far beyond the Holiday season!

And don't get me started on the Quilt Builder Framelits Dies and Quilt Top Embossing Folder!   These dies are so addicting!  Once you start building your quilts, you won't be able to stop!  The possibilities are endless!  Save 10% when you purchase them together in a bundle!

This card takes a more traditional path.  I cut one of the pre-printed quilt patterns, from the designer series papers, with it's coordinating die.  There are 4 sheets of this paper - in two color combinations, each with 4 "stars"/sheet - so I can make 32 of this card design alone!  Is that incredible or what?!  

And check out that yummy ribbon!  I'm going to order a stack of spools!  I can see using this ribbon for far more than Holiday cards!  

If you would like to create this card for yourself, I have the supply list posted below.  If you have any questions, regarding my project or any of the products, I'm here to help!

Happy Stamping!

Card: Painted Harvest Meets Paper Pumpkin


Hello!

Today I am sharing a stunning little 3"x3" card that I created with my September 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit and the Painted Harvest stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

I had the sunflower panel leftover from our recent card class and the sentiment stamp from my new Paper Pumpkin kit fit the blank space perfectly!!!  



This message came at a perfect time for me!  Just when I needed to hear it!  It has become my new Mantra and I keep this little card on my desk as a reminder.  I just love it!

If you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can find out all about it Here.

I just renewed my subscription and I can't wait to see what will arrive in these gorgeous boxes of fun in the coming months!  For a little video teaser, click the image below ;)


Each kit contains everything you need to create that month's projects!  You may need paper snips (for cutting ribbons or twines) but even the adhesives are included!  You even get a little ink spot (or 2 or more, depending on the month's projects) so even the inks are included!!!  The Paper Pumpkin stamp sets are exclusive to Paper Pumpkin so you definitely don't want to miss those!  If you have any questions about Paper Pumpkin, let me know!  I'm happy to fill you in on all of the awesomeness :)

If you have the September kit, and would like to create this card, or do not have the kit but would like to swap out an alternative greeting, I have my supply list for you below.

Happy Stamping!

Card: Watercolor Christmas Welcomes a Baby Girl


Hello,

I'm excited to share this cute card with you today!

It is a completely different "spin" on a Christmas card we created at my recent card class.


The Watercolor Christmas stamp set made it's debut in the Holiday Catalog and I've taken it beyond the holiday season with this cute baby card!

I just love when I can stretch my Holiday stamp sets beyond their intended season, don't you?
Yay!

If you would like to create this card yourself, I have links to the supplies I used posted below.
If you have any questions, give me a shout!  I'm happy to help!

Introducing: Smitten Mittens

Hello!

OMGosh!  Have you seen the Smitten Mittens Bundle on page 38 of the new Holiday Catalog???

I fell in love with it the moment I saw it!  That baby went into my pre-order so fast, it was a blur!


And it did not disappoint me!

This pair of cards were the first ones I created using this bundle.  Aren't the mittens just the sweetest?!  I strung them together with a bow from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits collection.  Don't they remind you of the mittens your Mama would knit you when you were a kid?  The ones with the long string that went inside your jacket so you wouldn't lose your mittens!  Am I dating myself?

I even incorporated the new Winter Wonder TIEF (page 37).  I think it added just enough of that wintery feel!  One thing I changed, after taking the photos, was to add a little pearl to the center of each mitten.  I knew I wanted them to finish off my mittens - I just could not find my pearls in this camper!  I looked everywhere!  Of course, I found where I had stashed them - after I had photographed my cards :(  I'll be back with another Mittens project though so I will show you how the pearls just made these mittens perfect!  

I hope you are Smitten with these Mittens too!
This wonderful bundle is now available for purchase in my Online Store.
I have provided the links, for all of the products I used to create my cards, for you below.

As always, if you have any questions, I'm here to help!

Happy Stamping!

Introducing: Painted Harvest

Hello!

After organizing some stamping space in my camper, I am finally able to play with some of my pre-order goodies!

It feels good to play again!



The Painted Harvest stamp set was the first item to get pulled out of my pre-order box and see ink!

These flowers are so addicting!  You can create so many different looks - just by mixing up your color combinations!

Today I have a "fall twist" by combining Daffodil Delight (base color) with Pumpkin Pie (top layer).  You see, this is a Two-Step Stamping stamp set.  Just imagine the possibilities!

My leaves are Garden Green - stamped off for the base layer and full-strength for the top layer.
The flower centers are stamped in Early Espresso.

You can order this brand new bundle, making it's debut in the new Holiday Catalog section of my Online Store, beginning today!

As always, should you have any questions, I'm here to help!

Happy Stamping!
