Santa Stache and Christmas Wishes

I love Christmas!
I made the following projects for my Stamp Club next week, and HAD to share!

This is the card I made at my conference, and I think it's just amazing.

 This one was the very first stamp set I bought from the mini and i just LOVE it.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Although it's only early November, Christmas is well on it's way at my house.  I like to have it all up early, partly so I can enjoy no stress during the season... and partly because I like to host my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack in early November as kind of a kick off to the season!
This year I had my clients vote on the cards they wanted to make, and they choose these three.

So excited!

The first is an ode to the "red cup"... we all know the one!  This uses Gorgeous Grunge and Perfect Blend... two stamp sets that aren't even Christmas!  I love that.  The sentiment i'm pretty sure is retired, but you can use ANY Christmas Stamp Sentiment at the top of this card!
.I used Real Red of course, as that is the color of the Red Cup.

The next is with the Wonderous Wreath Stamp set and matching dies... I bought it in a bundle to save 15%!

I love the use of the non traditional colors here.... lost lagoon and blackberry bliss... matched with the grey it makes for a beautiful, on trend Christmas Card!

 And finally, elegant meets fun in this perfect Christmas Card! We sell 24 doilies for $3.95, and I think they are simply beautiful, and really steal the show in this card.  I couldn't decide between Old Olive or Cherry Cobbler so I just did both!

Merry Christmas, thanks for looking!

Fall Fun!

I love love LOVE fall, so nothing inspires me more than sitting down with a new fall stamp set and a cup of fall David's Tea!
I got a lot of inspiration from the new fall fun bundle... I love that you can do SO MUCH with it!
I made two cards... I always start with a basic idea from pinterest or a simple google search of the stamp set i'm using, and then make it my own from there!

The first is a simple peekaboo pumpkin card.  I'm in Canada, so Thanksgiving has officially ended, but it's still Thanksgiving Season in MY house!
I used the 1 3/4" punch on the dsp, then used a pencil on the white paper to mark where the circles are.... then I used the MASKING technique to cover the bottom circle so the pumpkin didn't "peak" into the other circle.
I'm not one for tone on tone, but I do really like how the kraft all layered together works together.

This one is using the same stamp set... We sell GORGEOUS burlap ribbon, but I didn't have any so I used some scrap burlap we used at a wedding recently.
Unfortunately the sentiment is retired, but there are LOTS of great sentiments for Thanksgiving that are current!

Colors: Mellow Moss, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Ivory

Happy Fall to you!

Cupcake Party!

I love the new cupcake stamp set.  I didn't think i needed it, cause I already have the old one, but it's just SO great.
Here is the new stamp set!

 And it's only $16.95 too boot!
We made this card.  I love the retro colors... bermuda bay and basic black together work so good! And some pink for accents!

Such a wow card without being too much work!

Two Minions and a Birthday Card!

Who doesn't love the minions from Despicable Me?  Truth be told, I have 3 children and have never seen either movie... but I still love those faces!
For September Club we made some minions!

Gah, so cute!  They are made from daffodil delight and island indigo!  The eyes are made all from circle punches and the little dots that look like brads are just the eyes from the owl punch.

Then we made a more elegant card for those that don't have kids! I have to tell you, I use Mosaic Madness and Chalk Talk more than ANY other stamp sets.  I just never tire of them.

This is two of the in colors that look amazing with basic grey!  The colors are lost lagoon and blackberry bliss.

5 minute thank you card

I love, more than anything, being able to reach in my scrap bags and making a card completely from scraps.  I save all DSP scraps, and all regular scraps, too.

This thank you card I whipped up in 5 minutes and used ALL scraps!

I used the chalk talk stamp set and the matching framelits from the big shots to create a simple, but stand out, card.

Wedding Bliss

I was searching and searching for a wedding card that I could CASE that I like... and I just couldn't find one!
So i had to make one on my own, using a couple ideas from a bunch of different cards.
This is what I came up with!

I'm pretty happy with it! I used Smoky Slate and Whisper White... and the next wedding i'm attending the color is mint so I used pistachio pudding... But you could change the center to be whatever color is featured at YOUR next wedding!
The bowtie on the male heart is the two hearts from the owl punch...

Hope you get some inspiration from this wedding card!
