Full of Secrets

PSST... I have a secret to share... The new Occasions Mini Catalog is coming out soon!

April 1st to be exact (but right now you can pre-order a selection of the stamp sets).  Stay tuned, because I'll have some sneak peeks for you right here at Kween Bee Kreations.  TIP:  Subscribe to my blog so you don't miss out on the new stuff!

This card was created with a special person in mind whose birthday is soon approaching.  SHHH! I can't tell you her name, because it just might be YOU!  LOL...

I created this card for the Mojo Monday sketch #76 and splitcoast color challenge (CC208).  As mentioned in an earlier post, I'm hoping to use sketches more as a way to jump start my creations. 

Sketches are great because they give you a starting point.  They are typically simple layouts but they also allow you to use your creativity to come up with something new.  In this sample, I stuck pretty close to the Mojo Monday sketch.  But anything is possible if you just use your imagination. 

This card uses Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Good Morning Sunshine  (Chocolate Chip print) and Rockabilly (Kiwi Kiss polka dots) collection.  TIP:  View my other Kreations using these papers by viewing my left sidebar.  Just click one of the DSP links and you'll see how I used these DSP's.

I used a hostess level 1 stamp set - called Darling Dots.  I love this simple solid stamp set.  Best of all - it was FREE!  By hosting a workshop or simply placing a qualifying order - you too can be on your way to earning free stamps and other Stampin' Up! merchandise. 

Check out the hostess benefits for more information.  If you want to book a workshop locally (Madison, WI area) OR catalog party... please E-Mail Me.  I'm happy to help you earn freebies!

Peary Funny

I created this card for a really fun Papertrey Ink Challenge.

This card turned out so much better than I imagined it in my head.  I love that little Summer Sun pear hanging off the Kiwi Kiss branch.

And those jumbo brads - well, they are just to die for.  I especially love the ones that are 5/8". 

You can buy these jumbo brads for only $6.95, Item #112533.  You get an assortment of Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip & Silver - approximately 32 brads per container (8 each of 4 colors).

Embellishments such as brads are a quick, easy, and most importantly inexpensive way to spice up your creations.  The jumbo brads also come in a 5/16" size (see the two smaller brads on my card above).

Hoo Knew?

Well, hello there!  Who knew chipboard could be so much fun?

Making this card was my first experience with shaped chipboard.  The owl and tree branch are both pieces from the On Board So Tweet collection.

In this collection, you'll get 6 9" x 9" sheets with 11 designs (8 of each piece - for a total of 88 pieces).

With chipboard, there is so much you can do.  Consider it a blank canvas and color it with your Stampin' Up! ink, add some glue and sprinkle it with glitter (as I did with the eyes and nose). 

On this card, I also adhered some Good Morning Sunshine DSP to Mr. Owl then sanded the edges for a tighter fit to my shape. 

TIP:  Use a stamp & ink to create your own pattern on the chipboard.  In my sample, I stamped an image from Trendy Trees in Kiwi Kiss ink all over the tree branch. 

On Board So Tweet, $14.95, Item #113893

Bright Delights

Making it's debut ... drum roll please ...

Bright Delights Rub-On's!! The sentiment on this card along with the dotted stripe (on Whisper White cardstock) are both from the Bright Delights rub-on collection. 

These BRAND NEW rub-on's are fresh, fun and colorful!  The colors highlighted in this collection are Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Cameo Coral, and Basic Gray.  You can see an image snapshot below.

I started this card using the rub-on's as my inspiration point and then chose the rest of the card colors, paper, and embellishments.  The Kiwi Kiss pattern paper you see is from the Good Morning Sunshine collection (I'm getting a lot of use out of this).

The words wonderful, beautiful and perfect summarize the other Bright Delight debut.  My brother (Dustin) and sister-in-law (Jessica) brought Ashlynn into the world on Monday.  She's the third addition to their family. 

So, this card will be given to Dustin & Jessica to express my joy in becoming an Aunt again.  I have another baby card to share tomorrow - I couldn't make just one.

Cheep Talk

Cheep Talk is one of the new stamp sets in the Spring - Summer Idea Book & Catalog (see full images at end of post). 

This set was on my "must have" list as I paged through the catalog.  The fabulous designer paper you see is from the Good Morning Sunshine collection (see all patterns in this post).

Do you need a copy of the Spring - Summer Idea Book & Catalog?  If so, Email Me and I will arrange for delivery ASAP.  I only have 5 copies left needing a good home!  Cost is $9.95 and that includes shipping.

We're coming up on the final days for the Love You Much Bundle Promotion.  Check it out and order before January 31st.

Branch Out

I am lucky to say that I don't have to make sympathy cards very often.  And, when the time comes to do so, I struggle a bit.  It's always difficult to find the right words to console someone. 

But, the new stamp set "Branch Out" made it a bit easier to express my condolences to a friend who recently lost her dear brother.  This new set allows you to customize a tree - with accessories like leaves, snowflakes, a tree swing, and more (see full images set at end of post).

I used a Chocolate Chip print from the new "Good Morning Sunshine" designer series paper collection.  Here is a view into each of the prints you'll find in this collection.  Item #113966 - $9.95 - 12 sheets per package (2 each of 6 designs - double sided).
