Cleaning up the mess!

I have been addicted to the Petal Passion designer series paper!  I love coloring it with my Stampin' Blends.  I made a few cards with the Petal Palette bundle (okay, more than a few), had some scraps on my desk and decided to clean it up.  I simply adhered the papers (this is the backside of the pretty floral pattern), flower and sentiment piece to a thick whisper white base and I was done!  My desk is now clear so that I can mess it up again tonight!  I would love it if you left me a comment to let me know what you think of my mess! 

The Petal Passion paper can be found here:

Paper Pumpkin - Feb. Alternatives

You know I love my Paper Pumpkin, right?  I got my February kit and made two of the kit cards and then made two of my own.  I think this month's is really pretty!  There are so many things you can do to change it up as well.

Instead of using the pretty flowered dsp, I decided to put Island Indigo and Melon Mambo behind the Thank You die cut.  Quick tip:  before you pull off the label shape, rub the letters down so they stay behind.  Then you can use the letters on another project.  I will try to post an easy way to do that later.

Here is the kit card.  Pretty, right?  Did I tell you how much I adore these envelopes?!!

Here is one using Melon Mambo as a base and backing for the letters.

And this one uses Island Indigo.

You could also use Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Wisteria Wonder, there are lots of options!  Let me know what you think.  If you're interested in ordering Paper Pumpkin, just click on the flower to the right or scroll to my previous post.  They are so much fun!

Myths & Magic

I promised to post a card using the adorable Myths and Magic suite quite a while back.  I was really busy getting ready for my open house event and didn't have the chance.  I won this cute set at OnStage back in November and I was thrilled!  I have two grandchildren to make cards for and I know they will love these characters.  I also thought the wizard could be used to make a masculine grown up card, or even a female one.  Would you use this stamp set for an adult card?  Click to check it out or purchase it.  Can't wait to make a mermaid card!

When I first saw the Picture Perfect dsp at OnStage, I knew it was for me.  These colors are yummy!  I ordered a pack along with the sequins which have an adhesive already on them.  I cannot stop creating cards with it.  I love this paper!!  It's so easy to put together a cute birthday card.  Here are several I've made so far.  There is another pile in my craft room!  Shop for these adorable items by clicking on the photos above.  I have the cute binder clips on the way!

Such a gentleman!

I know I promised the Myths & Magic card, but I still haven't gotten to it.  I have made quite a few other card samples for my open house though.  I needed a masculine get well card so I inked up Truly Tailored.  I really love this bundle!  Masculine cards can be difficult, but these papers and stamps make it easy!  There is a gorgeous corduroy ribbon in this suite, but I forgot to order it.  The buttons are so handsome!  I'm glad they're back.  I had so much fun with the first card, I went on to create a couple more.  Please let me know what you think!  I love reading your comments.

The Truly Tailored bundle comes with a punch which can be used with any sentiment and is very versatile.  Just click if you'd like to check out the suite.

Heartfelt Blooms

Hello and happy Friday!  I'm looking forward to the weekend, how about you?!

I made this with a stamp set called Heartfelt Blooms from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It is FREE with a qualifying purchase of $50 or more.  There are so many colors you can stamp this in!  It's also pretty in black.  I love the sentiments as well.  I actually stamped the sentiment crooked and had to cover it up by stamping again and punching with the Pretty Label Punch . As my granddaughter says, "turn it in to a happy mistake."  Good advice from a seven year old!  I finished off with a few Glitter Enamel Dots.  You always want to use an odd number when embellishing.

You can get this free stamp in my store by placing an order of $50 or more.  Just click on the Heartfelt Blooms above or on the flower to the right.  If you are not working with another demonstrator and you'd like a catalog, please send me a message.  I'd be happy to send them to you at no cost.  Thanks for stopping by!

Woot! New SAB Item!

Good morning!  I wanted to let you know about a new bundle which will be available FREE with a qualifying purchase in the Sale-a-Bration catalog starting February 16!  Check it out, it's fabulous!
