Carols of Christmas? YES!

Yes, you are seeing Christmas cards in August!  While it may be hard to believe, the holidays will soon be here and for the first time, I am starting to make cards EARLY!  So I was really excited when Stampin' Up! offered this set early - Carols of Christmas and Card Front Builder Thinlits!  And I have been having fun creating new cards for you all! (As a demonstrator, I was able to pre-order this set so I could start creating samples to share with everyone!  You can order this set NOW - YAY!!!)

Tonight, I am sharing how I made a forest of trees!  Here's the card I made!



Check out the video for instructions and the list below for supplies!

(In the video, I stated you could stamp the trees, but sadly there isn't a tree stamp in the set, so you will need the thinlits to make the trees.)

And I have created a couple of other cards from this set - which do you like best - Peace on Earth or Deck Halls? Leave a comment and let me know which is your favorite!




Hope I have inspired you to start your holiday crafting a little early!  I would love to help you with your creations! You can shop 24-7 by clicking the button on the right!  And please share this blog and video with your friends and family! I appreciate your business and am grateful for you sharing my

Happy Stamping!

Embossing paste fun!

Hi everyone!

So - there's this new item in our catalog that I am having fun with!  EMBOSSING PASTE!!!  Here's a card I made using the Embossing Paste and the medallion in the Pattern Party Mask set!

In this video, I show you a few things that I have created - and one that I am working on trying to make it be what I want it to be.  (Can you guess what that one is?)

After, I completed this video and posted it, I realized that on the first card (in the picture), I actually sponged in the medallion and did not use aqua painter.  I like both ways but think the sponge makes a much softer look! What do you think?

Below is the list of what I used so you can place your order and get what you need to start embossing with Embossing Paste - though you have to wait just a little bit!  Be sure to order yours - you don't want to wait on it!

Happy Stamping!

Delightful Daisy Coupon Holder

Hi everyone!  Hope your summer has been going well!  Me?  Well, I am having fun with some of the new products from our catalog like the project I am sharing today - a coupon holder using the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper!

When I first tried this, I used a retired paper pattern so I could try it out and tweak what I wanted to do - and then when I received the Delightful Daisy paper I just knew it would be perfect for me to share with you! So take a look at the video to find out how you can make your very own!



Thanks for watching!  Please feel free to share with your friends and family !  I appreciate your time and your business!

Sunday with Soft Spot Stamping - Jar of Love Random Act of Kindness card

Greetings everyone! My apologies for my absence - my full-time job kept me quite busy in June! I didn't stop stamping, I just wasn't able to dedicate time to video! So finally - I was able to video and put all of the details together for you - so here goes! I am part of a group where we send a random card to random member(s) once a month! Random Acts of Kindness cards - how cool! I mean - who doesn't enjoy getting a card in the mail! When I set out to do this one, I decided that I wanted to keep it simple so that anyone could do it with just a few items! Even the bow that I cut using the Big Shot could be free-cut (my friends and I call it "Fussy" cut). I used only one stamp set, four stamp pads and two colors of cardstock! There are multiple ways to step it up and embellish a little more, but I kinda like it just the way it is!

(I will post a picture of this card tomorrow - I accidentally deleted from my phone card when I ran out of memory on it earlier today - oops!)

Now for some great specials! July 1 started Bonus Days! For all of July, when you spend $50 you will receive an email with $5 coupon code to use in August! And in case you didn't know, I send little "happies" when you spend at least $50!!! Please use the July Hostess Code JDG2RGFQ when placing your online order to be eligible for the "happy"!
