Online Extravaganza!

Hi there Stampers!

From November 23-30, Stampin' Up is holding an "Online Extravaganza" where you can save up to 50% on selected product bundles and products. You can click on the info in the upper left corner of this post to order through my website or e-mail me to place an order!

I thought I'd show you an example or two of one of the bundles using the Four Square Stamp Set and the Scallop Square Punch & the Trio Flower Punch. The 3 X 3 card on the left was made at my "Copy the Catalog" Stamp Camp last spring using Real Red, Only Orange and Bashful Blue, as well as Whisper White cardstock.

Then for a Convention Swap I changed it slightly and made the 3 X 3 card on the right using Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry and Old Olive and the Star punch as well as the Scallop Square. Just some quick and easy ideas for this really cute stamp set and punch. Both times I stamped the image twice, cut out the word "Congrat" with my snips and used Dimensionals to pop it off the card.

Once again, Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi there,

Another calendar insert to share with you today for Thanksgiving. This one was pretty easy to do - I used Soft Suede (my new favorite neutral color), More Mustard and Elegant Eggplant in cardstock and ribbon. The DSP is Autumn Traditions and the "Grateful" is from Falling Leaves.

Hope everyone enjoyed yet another beautiful day - seemed more like spring than November, but I'm sure real Chicago weather is right around the corner!

I know this next week will be busy for me as I look forward to hosting Thanksgiving, but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I'm grateful for my family and friends!!

Wish Big

Hi there Stampers!

Sorry that I haven't posted much lately - November is turning out to be one busy month!

Anyway...today's card share is my take on a popular project - the Scallop Circle dress. This is made by using the Big Shot and Scallop Circle die and making a pattern to cut the dress out. I used the Cottage Wall DSP in this card. The card itself uses Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry and Orchid Opulence cardstock, Rich Razzleberry ink and the Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches. The belt is made with White Taffeta Ribbon, one of the flowers from the Trio flower punch and a silver brad. The sentiment is from Short & Sweet, one of my favorite greeting sets! I really love this dress pattern!

Happy Fall y'all!

Hope everyone is having a good week - I'm just happy there's no rain in Elmhurst this week! I'm sharing a few more of the inserts we made last week at the Wood Calendar Stamp Camp - this one uses one of my favorite sets from the Holiday Mini Catalog - Autumn Splendor. This set is so easy to use and comes out beautiful when you emboss it, as I have here. I stamped it in Gold Encore on both the Really Rust and Taken with Teal Cardstock and then heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. Then I cut the leaves out and curled them around a chopstick to give them some dimension. The background cardstock is Chocolate Chip and I used DSP from the Autumn Meadows DSP from the Mini catalog as well. The letters are cut out with the Big Shot using the Timeless Type alphabet in Really Rust.
