Trimmer

Stampin' Up! came out with this new amazing trimmer!  It is now available to customers.  There are so many great changes.  The blades are a lot deeper and cut like buttah!!   It's much lighter than the other trimmer.  There is no longer a cutting strip to replace.  I've been using mine for a month now and it's really awesome.  It's available to customers starting November 1.  Check it out here:

Feels Like a Frosty Moose

When I saw the Merry Moose bundle, I knew I had to have it.  I live in New England and I love seeing moose when I go up north.  When I saw this designer series paper, I had to have that as well.  It is beautiful!  The back side has metallic prints and the front has photograph images.  You can purchase these items in my store by clicking the images below the photo.   I'm not sure if you can see the pretty drops of snow, but I created them by putting dots of Multipurpose glue and then covering with Ice Stampin' glitter.  It's a chucky sparkly white glitter - so pretty! Let me know what you think of the amazing moose bundle and this dsp!

We'll Walrus Be Friends!

This adorable set in the Stampin' Up! 2019-20 Annual Catalog made my A list!  I couldn't wait to color in a cute walrus with my Stampin' Blends.  I went up to my paper therapy room with the idea of making one customer thank you card.  I finally quit after making five cards with these cute little guys.

On most of my cards, I put a piece of vellum through the High Seas 3D Embossing Folder and inked it up a bit with a dauber and Coastal Cabana ink.  Then I adhered with Snail on Smoky Slate cardstock.  I think it looks a bit like the darker blue water in New England.  What do you think?

I also used a fun new product called Shimmery Crystal Effects.  It gives a shimmery wet look to your projects.  I don't know if you can see it under the waves in the photo.  You can also use this with the new Ice Stampin' Glitter.  Such a pretty effect!

Thanks for stopping by.  Please let me know which one you like best!

p.s.  The walrus looks like me on vacation.  Can you guess where I am?

Run, run, run!!

Sip, Sip, Hooray!

Hello everyone!  I just had to share this amazing bundle from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog!  I knew I had to have it as soon as I saw it.  I've had so much fun playing with the pieces.  I've been dreaming of my upcoming tropical vacation .  I cannot wait!

For the first, I used Flirty Flamingo as a base, a Pool Party panel, and a whisper white panel which I die cut with the strip of dots.   The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthday and embellished with Woven Threads sequins.  

For this card, I used Coastal Cabana as a base with a panel of Daffodil Delight, and a strip of Brights dsp.  The Stitched Nested Label Dies were used.  I truly love the shape of them.  I kept it simple and embellished with Rhinestones.  Notice under the glass - I always feel like you need a bit of grounding so I used Light Smoky Slate Blends to just add a bit of color.  Sometimes I fade it with the Color Lifter.  Let me know if you have questions, or if you'd like a catalog. 

If you don't have a demonstrator and you'd like an annual or holiday catalog, please message me.  I'd love to send you one. If you place an order with me in September of $50 or more and use the host code of  DPTHUTJK, I will send you a package of embellishments!

Sneak Peek Snowman

Have you seen the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog?  It's amazing!  There are so many great products, I can't begin to list them.  If you do not have a catalog and are not working with a demonstrator, I'd love to send you a catalog and earn your business.  Send me a message if you'd like one! This catalog begins on September 4.

In my pre-order, I got this adorable snowman bundle.  I created two cards, one using the punch to build a snowman and one was stamped on a Stitched Oval. 

Among other things, I bought the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint.  I made a snowman hat and decided to try it out.  Well, I was disappointed. It was a messy semi-white line of liquid.  A few days went by and I decided to read the directions.  Boom!  You have to heat set the line of liquid!  Once you do, it puffs like snow.  It's amazing!  I would probably add more to this now that I know how awesome it looks!  I used another new product on the first card.  It's called Shimmery Crystal Effects.  If you zoom in,  you will see random sparkly spots on the snow.  It was very easy to use and didn't require reading the directions! 

Bonus Days!

Vibrant Vases

I posted a sketch challenge over on my Facebook business page.  I gave the sketch a whirl last night.  I haven't cut into my new In Colors dsp yet, ,so I decided to use that.  Pretty Peacock is my favorite new In Color.  What is yours?  Leave me a comment and let me know.  I'm not sure why I hadn't used it yet, but I'm glad I did.  I paired it with Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, and Pineapple Punch.  I would use this color combination again.

The stamp set is called Vibrant Vases and it's a great set!  I stamped the vase on Shimmery White Cardstock in Pretty Peacock, used the solid vase to stamp over with Granny Apple Green, and then punched out.  The flowers were stamped with Pretty Peacock and colored in with Pineapple Punch and a Blender Pen.  Then I fussy cut the flowers, and adhered the vase and popped the flowers with dimensionals.  The sentiment is stamped in Bermuda Bay.  Isn't it a pretty font?  Please let me know what you think!

Mosaic Mood

Don't you just love the new Stampin' Up! designer series papers?!  There are so many beautiful ones.  The Mosaic Mood dsp makes it so easy to create a card!  I made two different cards for class so everyone could have an option to choose from.  I simply fussy cut the roses and the hummingbirds from the paper.  We stamped a sentiment on this beautifully shaped die from To a Wild Rose and then added the Mosaic element.  It was so easy!  I love the colors in it.  I used So Saffron as a base and added the strip of Mint Macaron.  I added texture to one with the basket embossing folder.  You could use just about any of them.  The Mosaic Tile folder would look even better!  (note to self: order that next).  I finished off the rose card with the metallic pearls, another favorite of mine!  Let me know which is your favorite!

*edited to add a Mint Macaron version below.  I needed several healing hugs type cards this week!
