Sneak Peak of Occasions Catty and Sale-a-Bration Items!!

Our team challenge for early December was a sketch challenge.  Due to a busy week, I had roughly 20 minutes to put this card together.  That's where sketches are amazing!


The colour combination here is Mint Macaron and Coastal Cabana with a touch of Smoky Slate.  All of the stamped images are from the NEW Sale-a-Bration set called Hello Cupcake.  The DSP is from the Occasions Catalogue. It is part of the How Sweet It Is Suite. It is bright and cheerful and a must if you love to create birthday cards.

If you are in need of a paper catalogue, drop me a comment and I'll get one out to you. You won't want to miss the amazing items being offered come January.

Holiday Products in Excess

Our most recent team challenge was to create using products that customers could still easily get their hands on and more specifically were actually on the excess quantities list.



I can't believer that these thinlits and these silver foiled cards are in excess!  These thinlits and the bundled stamp set were one of the first items I ordered this holiday season.

I stamped the baubles on Mint Macaron and Petal Pink papers using versamark and then heat embossed with silver embossing powder.  This was my way of tying the silver into all of the elements of the card.

The DSP is the Twinkle Twinkle which allowed me to bring in the Night of Navy to ground the card.  I stamped the sentiment (from the Beautiful Baubles set) in Navy and behind it stamped the swirl from the Star of Light set (annual catalogue) in Smoky Slate.

Although not traditional in the colour scheme, I still like the overall holiday feel.

Dreaming of a White Christmas

Wow!  Looking at my blog post history, I can see how I need to refocus my energies here! Apologies to any of my followers.  I've been so busy creating and holding classes that I haven't been posting! Good news though.... I have lots of great projects to share now!

Let's start with this card created from a favourite from the Annual Catalogue - Half Full.
This card proved a popular design during my Stamp A Stack class series which was great as  it allowed me to showcase many product choices.

First we have the amazing Half Full stamp set.  A wine based set with both seasonal and  non seasonal sentiments so it can be used year round for the wine lovers in your life.  The wine glass and bottle are both coloured with the Stampin' Blends (daffodil delight, smoky slate, basic black) and then the wine bottle was fussy cut (an easy shape to do this quickly and in multiples).  
The DSP was the amazing Dashing Along series which has just been released to purchase (it was originally an ordering incentive only).  I then added the red rhinestones and striped burlap trim both from the holiday catalogue (and still available) and a bit of the solid red ribbon from the annual catalogue for the bow.

The best news about this card is that all of the supplies to create it are still in stock and can be ordered today!!
