Onward with Christmas!

If you have gotten a chance to look at the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog you will notice that the new theme seems to be Framelits.  There are many coordinating stamp sets and framelits.  Which makes for easy creating.  So, many of my customers hate cutting out images.  The framelits are appealing to many!

The set that I used for todays card is using the same idea.  Scentsational Season is a stampset that also has a freamelit set available to easily cut out the images in the stamp set.


For this card I used the Big Shot to cut out the images from by background piece of card stock.  I then adhered different pieces of DSP behind the cut out images.  I love how this looks!  It is also a great way to use scrap paper!

The DSP is from the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack.  This is a must have in my book.  I will actually need to order another one with my next order.  This pack contains 48 double sided sheets.  They are the perfect size at 4 and 1/2 by 6 and 1/2 inches.  Which makes them the perfect size to mount photos for scrapbooking!  This paper stack is only $6.95.

One other thing that I forgot to mention is that in the Holiday catalog the Framelits and Stampsets can be "bundled" for additional savings.  You can't beat that!  And, it goes without saying that I now own each of the bundles from the catalog!  I can't resist a deal!

Have a great day!

Another Ornament.



Sorry about the little blur in this photo.  I hadn't noticed that when I took the photo.

This is another card using the Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set and Framelits.  For this one, I layered the center of the ornament by punching out several circles.

All of these goodies are available in the Holiday Catalog from Stampin' Up!

Happy Hump Day!

Winter Memories!


This set, Winter Memories, is quickly becoming a favorite!  I am so in love with the ice skates that I have not even used the other two images in the set.  I can not believe how easy it is to create a great water colored pair of skates! 

For this card I used Winter Memories.  I chose the colors of Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler.  I embossed the skates with Black embossing powder and then water colored them with my ink pads and blender pens.

For the background I used the Holiday Frame embossing folder.  And, then I added some Cherry Cobbler seam binding for the bow.

I love how this card turned out!
Have a great Tuesday!

Christmas Is Coming

Well, isn't technology a lovely thing?  It is awesome when it works, but when it doesn't, it really puts a kink in things!  Anyway, I am back with a new computer and hopefully can continue blogging on a regular basis!

 
 
The last time that I was able to post I had mentioned goodies from the Holiday Catalog.  Well, I did get a chance to play and have made many awesome (in my humble mind!) cards.
 
This card used the Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set and Framelits.  When I first saw this set I thought of so many ways to use it.  When I got it, I loved it!  I also used the Holiday Frame Textured Embossing Folder.  This folder is so elegant!  I just love it!
 
I used Lucky Limeade, Real Red and Whisper White for colors.  The sentiment is from the Winter Memories stamp set.
 
Thanks for stopping  by!

Stay tuned for some Christmas goodness!

Doesn't Get Easier Than This!


For those of you who say "I can't make a card" this one is for you!  No matter what the occassion, there is a quick way to create a card!  This is DSP from Orchard Harvest.  I used Island Inidgo and Naturals Ivory.  The Sentiment is from Curly Cute.  It didn't take long to throw this one together!

And, if you are tired of seeing Orchard Harvest, come back soon!  Today, I am expecting an order with Christmas Goodies!  Yes, it is that time of the year!

Enjoy!

Another Triple Time!


As you should have expected, here is another Triple Time card!  I just love this.  Every time I look at a card with this layout, it just amazes me!  It is so easy yet so stunning!

For this card I used Day of Gratitude.  I used Garden Green, Not Quite Navy and Caju Craze.   I just love the results!

Thanks for stopping in, have a great day!
