"Oh What Fun" Christmas Tags Kit

Yesterday afternoon, I worked on the Christmas Tag Kit from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. As the name of the kit implies, it was fun!

The tags themselves were fun - a great variety! It was also fun because my daughter helped me make the tags! She prefers to "do it herself" and not "just help" me.

Check out all of these embellishments that come in the kit!

The instructions are easy to follow, too!

 
Ready to see some of the finished tags?

There are ten different tag designs and the kit makes three of each. So, there are supplies for 30 tags in the kit.

Check back tomorrow to see more of the completed tags. You'll want to get this kit on your wishlist for sure! One more day and then you can order from the Holiday Catalog!!!

Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Christmas Card

Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for August! The theme for the hop this month is Holiday Sneak Peek and we are all excited to share some projects using new products from upcoming Holiday Catalog.

The Quick & Creative card I'm sharing with you today features the stamp set "Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015". This stamp set includes images for school, Halloween, fall and Christmas and also coordinates with a Project Life Card Collection & Accessory Pack.

The colors you see are Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive & Whisper White with a layer of  Merry Moments designer paper. The snowflake image is stamped with VersaMark ink to create a subtle background.

I used the Lots of Labels Framelits and a couple of fun new embellishments from the Holiday Catalog - White Glitter Ribbon and Iced Rhinestones. You'll definitely want to add these embellishments to your wish list!

Some Personal Time....

Hello Everyone! You may be wondering where I've been the last several days....At the end of last week, we had about 40 plants delivered for our landscaping and needed to get them in the ground. That project lasted two solid days. Then this past Monday, I had an outpatient surgery. So, I am just getting around to stamping again. Thank you for your patience!

I do want to share my latest video with you that shows how to create that gorgeous Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Early Espresso butterfly card that I posted last week.

 

Enjoy!

Watercolor Wings - Gold Accents

Have I told you how much I love this Watercolor Wings stamp set?! Here is the fifth card from my Power Hour class.

The card base is Whisper White with a layer of Bermuda Bay embossed with the Decorative Dots folder. I cut the Early Espresso oval using framelits. I love the gold accents on this card - the Gold Foil butterfly, the gold embossed words, the gold button and the gold thread.

Let's talk more about that detailed butterfly! I stamped the most solid butterfly image with Pool Party. Then the edges with Early Espresso and the details with Bermuda Bay. Watch for a video of this card on my YouTube channel next week!

Don't forget! Order the Watercolor Wings Bundle (stamp set and framelits) and save 15%.

Watercolor Wings with Glimmer Paper

Here is the fourth and, I think, my favorite card for my upcoming Power Hour class.

I love the combination of Watermelon Wonder and Blushing Bride. The Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and Silver Thread really set off the butterfly focal point!

Watch my latest video to learn everything you need to know about three-step stamping with the Watercolor Wings stamp set.

  

Join me on Thursday or Friday, if you can.....or participate in the class online!

Watercolor Wings - Three Step Stamping

Here are the five cards for my upcoming Power Hour class that features the set Watercolor Wings.

The class fee is $15 or free with a $25+ order. Each card features a different way to use this three-step stamp set. Today, I'm going to show you details on the third card. (See previous blog posts about the first two cards.)

The card base is Mint Macaron with a layer of Tip Top Taupe. I stamped the three small butterfly images that come in the set with Pool Party, Mint Macaron and Lost Lagoon inks.

I used the Bold Butterfly framelits with vellum cardstock on the detailed butterfly. In the center is a new Metal Rimmed Pearl. By the way, did you know that if you buy this stamp set and coordinating framelits as a bundle, you save 15%?!


If you'd like to attend my class next Thursday or Friday, please contact me by August 11th. If you want to participate by mail, you can! Place a $50+ order using hostess code 2EBDYTCM by Friday, August 14th and I'll make and mail you all five cards!

Watercolor Wings with Brick Wall

Here's the second of five cards for my Watercolor Wings Power Hour class that's next Thursday and Friday.

The card base is Basic Black, but I added a layer of Whisper White on the inside. The Whisper White layer on the front of the card is embossed with the new Brick Wall folder. I wrapped Basic Black Stitched Satin Ribbon around this layer.

The butterfly was stamped with Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, and Tangerine Tango inks and cut out with the Bold Butterfly framelits. The black butterfly was cut out using the Butterflies thinlits and layered right on top of the stamped image.

Contact me to reserve your spot at the class next week!

Watercolor Wings Just for You

Over the next few days, I'm going to take an up-close look at each of the cards in my Watercolor Wings Power Hour class that's coming up next week.

This one is the most basic card. I used the Bold Butterfly framelits without stamping the butterfly image.

The card base as well as the embossed layer and circle are Whisper White. The butterfly is Pear Pizzazz and Blackberry Bliss.

This shows a little more of the detail.

Did you notice the new Fluttering embossing folder?

Check back tomorrow for another close up. Contact me to attend the Power Hour class or participate by mail!

Watercolor Wings Power Hour Class

My Power Hour class this month will feature the Watercolor Wings stamp set. Have you seen this new butterfly stamp set and coordinating framelits?

At the class, you make one of each of these five cards for $15 or free with a $25+ order.

You may have heard of two-step stamping. With this set, there is actually three-step stamping. Three different images give gorgeous detail in two different sized butterflies.

Class is Thursday, August 13th at 6:30 p.m. or Friday, August 14th at 9:30 a.m. Contact me to reserve your spot. Choose a gift from my basket when you bring a friend who hasn't stamped with me.
