Life Me Up! - Occasions 2017 Sneak Peak

SNEAK PEAK! I recently attended a Stampin'' Up! OnStage event in New Jersey. At that event we were able to preview the new mini catalog and play with a bunch of new products.  I was able to advance purchase a few of these new products from the 2017 Stampin' Up! Occasions mini catalog.  You guys will LOVE this new catalog and products. The new catalog pages and products are a BIG secret until they are available to the public on Jan 4, however I can share the cover and a few projects I've created with new products with you (new Hot Air Balloon products: LIFT ME UP stamp set and coordinating Hot Air Balloon Framelits)! 

I was also selected to be a display stamper. That means I made over a dozen awesome projects for the various product display boards featured through the event. Can't wait to share those as well. Stay tuned, more goodness to come.

Snow Place - WWYS #42

Snow Place is the challenge stamp set for this week's (WWYS) What Will You Stamp Design team. Another fun set with coordinating framelits. I love the penguin! 

I layered DSP, vellum and whisper white card stock to create the background. I added white emboss snowflakes on the vellum for a little more dimension. Visit the What Will You Stamp blog to see all the great projects the team has created with this set. Play along and win a chance stamp with the design team. Happy stamping.

Holiday Mini Ink Bug Swaps

I received some happy mail this week! You may recall the Spooky card I made for Julie's Ink Bugs swap. Below is a quick phone snap of the cards I received in return. Most Swaps used products from the Stampin' Up! 2015 Holiday mini catalog. I love swapping by mail.

Home for Christmas projects

It's only September, I know. Weather is cooling off and it's nowhere near time for the Holidays but you can start crafting. Never a bad time for that. I had so much FUN creating samples from the Home for Christmas collection. Seriously. Many Christmas ideas inspired by the nostalgic look of the Home for Christmas Collection. This look it's not typically my go to style, and at first I thought this might be hard to use, but the cards came together quickly! Tip - cut out and create a few primary embellishments from the designer paper and then go to town.
