Dressed to Impress - Stampin' Up! 2020

Well, isn't this a fun card?!!  I did not make this card; it is one I received from a Secret Sister exchange.

Both the sentiment and the lipstick are from the Dressed to Impress stamp set available in this year's Handmade For You Mini Catalogue.    There are also dies available called All Dressed Up Dies.

I believe my Secret Sister used Shimmery White Card Stock for the focal piece and added Wink of Stella to the lipstick tube.  There is some lovely sparkle to this card which does not show up in the photo.

Thank you Secret Sister for making my day with this lovely card!

Peaceful Poppies - So Sentimental - Stitched So Sweetly - Stampin' Up! 2020

Today's card features three new products from the Occasions catalogue.  

Peaceful Poppies DSP

Stitched So Sweetly Dies

So Sentimental Stamp Set.

The quickest cards to make seem to be those that use Designer Series Paper as the background.  Label type dies make the completion of the card even quicker; it makes the sentiment the focal point and always pairs so well with gorgeous paper.

I had some retired Poppy Parade Stitched Poly Ribbon and used it for the band across the DSP.  I then cut the edge off a strip of the ribbon and pulled a few threads to make a bow.  Two Rhinestones finish off my card.

The envelope is finished off in the same DSP.  I think it is a lovely touch!

Little Ladybug - Sale-a-bration 2020 - Stampin' Up!

I'm a little late to game as far as getting cards made with the Sale-a-bration sets for 2020 but here is a sweet card made from the Little Ladybug stamp set now available free with a $60 purchase.

My card base is Smokey Slate and I coloured the flower with So Saffron and Old Olive Blends.  There is a little Wink of Stella added to the flower centre.  The Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon is so pretty; the sunlight makes is glimmer!  Three gems from the From My Heart Faceted Gems adorn the bottom of the image panel which was cut from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Design credit goes to:  Creative Corner

I'm looking forward to playing with other Sale-a-bration sets.

Snow Front - Stampin' Up! 2020

Isn't this a lovely card?!!  I am part of a Secret Sister exchange group through a Canadian Buy & Sell group and this is January's card that she sent me.

I adore her colour combo with the neutral sponged Crumb Cake combined with the Gorgeous Grape for the mountains.   The stamp set, Snow Front was available in the 2019 Christmas catalogue and has made the carryover list; so it's still available!

Great job, Secret Sister!

Merry Moose - Stampin' Up! 2019

I am participating in a Secret Sister program through a Canadian Buy & Sell Facebook group called Stampin' Up Canada Buy/Sell & More.  Today I received this awesome Christmas card featuring the Merry Moose bundle.  It is just delightful!  

I believe this bundle has sold out for this year but it is coming back in next year's holiday catalogue.  Wonderful news!

Something to look forward to in 2020.

So Many Stars - Stitched Stars Dies - Stampin' Up! 2019

A lovely card using the So Many Stars stamp set, but mostly made with the Stitched Stars Dies.  You could easily add stamping from sets you already have on hand; although it is always nice to have the co-ordinating set.

The Balmy Blue colour wash was made with an aqua painter on our  new Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  The splatter with its cute little stars and the greeting are both from the So Many Stars stamp set.

There are 4 sheets - 2 @ of 2 designs in the pack of Mercury Glass Designer Acetate.  The dies cut the acetate perfectly and can be easily adhered with glue dots.    Colour your Rhinestones with the Night of Navy Blends marker.  Silver Foil Paper was used for the swirl and intricate star.    Quite an easy card.

Here's a peek at the inside of my card.  The swirls die also cuts out 5 little stars; one of which I used here.

I wanted to show this picture of the stamp set and dies just to highlight the MANY awesome images/dies you get in this bundle.   It's an amazing assortment!

My inspiration came from a card by Linda Dalke, a talented demo from Australia.  Her colours were copper and Petal Pink which went lovely together.

Merry Moose - Stampin' Up! 2019

Merry Christmoose!  Here's a cute, yet masculine card for any moose loving person in your life; or from a moose loving person!  It's perfect for our neck of the woods.

The images are from the Merry Moose photopolymer set.

The paper is Wrapped in Plaid 6 X 6 specialty paper.  Gold lines add elegance to this plaid paper.

A little Wink of Stella was painted onto the fussy cut scarf; Night of Navy ink stamped on Night of Navy card stock.

The inside is also stamped with the same trees as used on the front. 

I used my Crumb Cake Blends marker to colour the Grey Granite Textured Weave Ribbon so it would co-ordinate better with my Crumb Cake moose; stamped in Memento Black and punched out with the co-ordinating moose punch.

This is the same card but with a Happy Birthday sentiment.   Perfect for anyone who has a birthday near Christmas.

Credits:  this card was cased from Amy Koenders, a talented US Stampin' Up! demo.  Loved her card!  I was doing this for a class so simplified the stamping.

Countdown to Christmas Project Kit - Stampin' Up! 2019

Here is the Countdown to Christmas Project Kit that a customer made without using the co-ordinating stamp set Christmas Countdown.  No stamping needed if you don't want to!  She used extra embellishments from her stash and did an awesome job with this kit.

Below is the kit I made with the co-ordinating stamp set and done as per the instructions (posted on Thurs. Oct. 17/19)  

So, it's really up to you.  Do it as per the kit or have some more fun, dig into your stash and change it up your way!
