Calm Bootiful Wishes

Hi there!  Today's share is a Christmas card made pairing the Bootiful Occasions and Endless Wishes sets, with All is Calm Designer Series Paper dictating the color scheme.  Snowflakes were randomly stamped using Lost Lagoon and Soft Sky inks.  Some color (Lost Lagoon) was added to the boot with an Aqua Pen.  Dazzling Diamonds glitter gives it that sparkle factor!  A circular closure was created for functionality as well as adding a finishing t and ouch.

Need to get started on today's to-do list.  Thank you for popping in today!

Weekly Deals & Thank You!

Hi there!  It's a gray and rainy day.  What a complete change from yesterday!  That's St. Louis weather for ya!  Spent most of yesterday morning and afternoon running errands with our son and a family dinner at a local restaurant that evening to celebrate his birthday.  It was nice to have our whole family together again.  That doesn't happen often since everyone is so busy.  But enough about that.  Let's get to the reason you came here.....to see ideas.
The above photo is a 3x3 thank you note card made from the Ornamental Pine stamp set by Stampin' Up!  Love this set!  Each month a little note card is slipped into my customer's order bags or mailed to those who placed an on-line order.  These note cards are just a very small token of my appreciation to my customers!  This was the note card for October orders, which also has a sentiment from the And Many More set.  Such a versatile set!  See it here.  It contains sentiments for almost every ocassion. 

Today new WEEKLY DEALS are available through Nov 10!  Click here to see what you can purchase at discounted prices!  Just contact me to place an order for you, or you may do it on-line.  Either way, I'd appreciate your business!  Thank you in advance!

Must get going to vote today and spend a little more time with our son before he heads back home.  Thank you so much for popping in today!

Eat Cake....

....wedding cake, that is.  Hi there!  Today's post is a card that had long been forgotten.  Originally, it was to be included as a Stamp Camp or Buffet card.  That didn't happen for one reason or another.  Then the Word Play stamp set along with other Stampin' Up! products used, were retired.  So, today the card makes its belated debut.  Connie Stewart has a video showing how to make this card in her Flash Card series seen here.  The colors I chose were modified a bit but, otherwise, the card is pretty much the same.

And this weeks deals (Jun 10 - 16) ......

....can be found by clicking here. 

And a new photopolymer set, Calling All Heros, was released yesterday!

Wetlands Thinking of You

Hi there!  Happy New Year everyone!  We've been greeted with COLD temps and about three inches of snow for the new year.  That's OK.  I'll be warm and cozy in my studio working on projects for our Card Buffet scheduled for Jan 11th!  So, a quick post on the above card that was made at Sally Nusbaum's Buffet.  This is a good masculine card, which showcases the Stampin' Up! Dictionary background stamp and some of our 7/16" trim behind the Wetlands goose.  An Aqua Painter brush was used to add a little color to the gooses body giving it a watercolored effect.  The Aqua Painter brush has a barrel that is filled with water.  These brushes can be found on page 164 of our Annual Catalog.

It was exciting to be with my daughter last night while she tried on different wedding dresses to find "the one"!  She has a dress in mind but we're going out again Saturday to a couple more places before she makes that important decision.  Met her wedding planner, Renee, who met us at the bridal shop.  Love her!  Renee is such a warm, friendly person and offered valuable input.

OK, that's it for now.  Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by today!

  

Simply Sketched 3x3

Hi there!  Hope you're finding time to stamp on this wet, dreary day!  I'll be busy with some neglected chores around the house and maybe a trip to the store.  But for now, here is a forgotten little 3x3 card that was included with customer orders back in August.  I thought it had been posted.  The flower and sentiment come from the hostess set, Simply Sketched.  An Aqua Painter pen was used to apply Calypso Coral ink onto the watercolor paper.  Tangerine Tango ink was sparingly added for some depth.  The stems were colored with Old Olive ink.

Postage Collection and New Promotions!

Hi there!  Wow what a whirlwind it has been this month with two stamping retreats back to back and getting ready for our Christmas Card Workshop, which is this coming Saturday!  Plus Stampin' Up! has come out with some new promotions - one is 25% off 25 stamp sets!  (See more details at the end of this post.)
Let's start with the above card made with the Postage Collection set, which is a Hostess set.  The colors are Night of Navy, Baked Brown Sugar, and Raspberry Ripple.  The postage stamp images were stamped on vanilla cardstock, then punched out with the Postage Stamp punch.  The Chevron embossing folder was used for some added interest.  This card was made at one of Carla Spradling's Card Buffets.  It has been mailed out already, therefore, I'm listing supplies by memory and looking at the photo.
Now for some exciting offers!

Stampin' Up! just released this discounted stamp sale today.  You can purchase these sets at 25% off original price!  Don't delay because this offer ends October 28.

For a limited time (now through Dec 31st) you can purchase cardstock bases, already cut and scored for you!  How awesome is that?  A package of 20 pre-cut and scored card bases for only $4.95!  Colors are listed here at my online store.
