Happy Stars


Never was a truer word spoken - "you can never have too much happy". It's one of my favourite stamps (from the set "Yippee-Skippee"), and I use it all the time.
I thought it was a very appropriate message to pop on these little notecards that I sent out to my lovely customers with their copy of the Holiday Catalogue. On these cards (9.9 x 9.9cm size, so that I could get 3 from a sheet of A4 Bermuda Bay cardstock), I've crammed lots of products from the new Holiday Catalogue. It's not just about Christmas in this catalogue!
I've used the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper, the new chunky Twine and 2 new punches.

I'm off to Stamp Camp this weekend. I can't wait to spend the weekend crafting and laughing with 35 lovely ladies!

A Fringed Garden


Here's a quick card I made using the Fringe Scissors to make grass. To make the grass, I like to cut my cardstock in half (Wild Wasabi used here) in a rough zigzag pattern. Then I fringe both halves and overlay them. It gives a pleasing grassy effect that just begs you to run your fingers through it (or your toes, if you're that way inclined!)
I've also used the "Hello There" Hostess stamp set (you can get this one FREE with an order of $300) for my little stems and sentiment. The flowers themselves are from the "Something to Say" set.
The other colours I've used are Soft Sky, So Saffron, Calypso Coral and Crisp Cantaloupe.

Ridiculously Amazing Stamp-a-Stack


I'm not really as arrogant as that blog title post sounds! I'm just referring to the sentiment on these cards. Amazing Birthday is an awesome new set...and let me share a little secret with you (this is where you get rewarded for actually reading my blog post and not just looking at the pictures!)...the price of the Clear Mount set in the catalogue is incorrect. It should be $35.95 but instead it is only $25.95. And Stampin' Up! is honouring that price! Woo Hoo - you just got a $10 discount!
I like to step out of my colour comfort zone every so often. Can you guess which of these 3 colours is not one I would normally use? Yep, Tangelo Twist. My first port of call when using a 'difficult' colour is the Color Coach. It told me that Island Indigo and Sahara Sand worked well with this colour. And what do you know...it was right! What a great 'boy' colour combo with that pop of bright orange.
I've used the new Party Pennants Bigz Die on these cards, and the Decorative Masks for the background.
The polka dots on the orange pieces are done with a very special tool that's NOT in the Stampin' Up! Catalogue...can you guess what it is?

Bordering Blooms Stamp-a-Stack


One of my favourite things in the whole world is playing with new rubber...or in this case new photopolymer! Bordering Blooms has the honour of being my first ever photopolymer stamp set. Borders are always so versatile, and when they are perfectly clear so that you can position them exactly where you want to, then what's not to love?

There's lots of NEW on these cards:
  • I turned to my trusty Color Coach for this colour combo - the new In Color cards told me that Blackberry Bliss and Perfect Plum are a dynamic duo.
  • The sentiment set is also a new one - Tag Talk, and it matches the Label Bracket Punch.
  • There's yummy new Blackberry Bliss ribbon
  • 2 new embossing folders - Lovely Lace and Zig Zag
  • New 2" Circle Punch and Itty Bitty Accents Punch
....can you tell I love new stuff?!
