Warmest of Wishes

Warmest of wishes to you & your families
during this holiday season.

Find instructions on creating this wreath by clicking here.  My wreath uses non-SU paper that I've hoarded for years (yep, you heard it right, over 8 years).  

The focal point is all Stampin' Up! product, including sneak peeks of the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies.  The largest heart is approximately 5 7/16" wide.  LOVE IT!!

Oh Happy Day

This bright, bold card was made for my step-daughter who just turned 16.

2012 Occasions Mini Catalog Sneak Peek Alert:  Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die.  I love the bold look of the black hearts against the bright colored background.  Oh happy day! - each heart has it's own embossed pattern.  How fun is that?

The Tasteful Trim Bigz Die was used to create my many waves of color. 

All in all, using the Big Shot made creating this card a breeze!!

Hand-Penned Holidays

My husband asked me to make a Christmas card for the local barber.  

I haven't stamped in so long - at least not on a regular basis.  So, four other cards before this went into the trash bin.  It's hard to get back into the swing of things, but I always seem to find my way back to my "mojo". I think this card will do nicely with a little gift for the barber tucked inside.  

Hand-Penned Holidays has been calling my name for weeks now.  I love the exaggerated font!

Pines & Poinsettias created the perfect finishing touch - Stampin' Write Markers helped me create a multi-colored image.  So easy & fun!

Playing Along with My Pals

I was able to make a card & play along with my fellow Pals at Pals Paper Arts in todays challenge (PPA123).

Using the fun red & silver glimmer paper and glimmer brads from the neutrals collection, I put on the ritz for this Christmas card.  It was fun to create again!

Don't miss out on the fun!  Pals Paper Arts is giving away a HUGE selection of BLOG CANDY to the winner of today's challenge.  You've gotta play with the PPA to win!   

 

Spooky & Simple

These spooky & simple gift sets were so easy to put together.

Using the Big Shot & the Matchbox Bigz XL Die - I created these little Hershey's Nuggets holders (they each hold 4 nuggets by the way).  After the matchboxes were complete, I whipped up a simple matching card.

Spooky Bingo Bits really gives you the most bang for your buck.  I have used it on multiple Halloween projects so far this year - with many more ideas to come before October 31 rolls around.  See my other Spooky Bingo Bits projects by clicking here.

For $27.95 (clear mount), you get 24 different spooky stamp images.  That's only $1.16 per stamp!  Check out this card idea provided by Stampin' Up! using Spooky Bingo Bits.  So cute!!

This stocking is a Big Shot Bigz L Die.  The stocking measures 5-1/2" x 4-3/4".  The die measures 6" x 8-3/4".  Use it with paper, fabric, felt & more!  I have SO many ideas for this die - it makes the purchase very worthwhile to me.

Happy Wishes

How about some happy wishes from Mr. Jack?

As soon as I saw the Jack of All Trades stamp set in the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog, I knew it must be mine.

This card was on it's way last week to a good home to someone in need of happy wishes.  I sure hope it brightened her day!  I know I had a great time making it and can't wait to use this stamp set again soon.

Tasteful {Trim} Birthday Cards

These Kwik & Kool Birthday cards are sure to please.  I love the funky look achieved by using the Tasteful Trim Bigz Die in my Big Shot.  

Using designer paper (like this fun collection, called Woodland Walk) allowed me to create a pulled-together look in a flash.  These two cards only took me 20 minutes to create from start to finish.  Replicate this look by changing out your DSP!

Butterfly Bling

With many June birthday's approaching, I decided to make some simple butterfly birthday cards.  You'll notice on these cards that there is very little stamping.  Only the sentiment in the lower right corner is actually stamped, making these cards so easy; Kwik & Kool!

I used two different designer series paper collections for the butterflies, Sweet & Sour Specialty and Blueberry Crisp.  Both papers are on the Last Chance List, so if you love these DSP collections (or any of your other favorites), BUY THEM NOW before it's too late.
