Christmas card

I decided that I needed to use up some retired embellishments that I had from last year.  So I used the sketch at Try Stampin' on a Tuesday as the inspiration for the next few cards that I will post.

The products used in this card are:


*Whisper white card stock (100730)
*Tempting turquoise card stock (102067)
*Gumball green card stock (126840)
*Raspberry ripple card stock (126842)
*Retired ribbon
*Retired wreath and holly embellishment
*Chocolate chip card stock (102128)
*Woodgrain emboss folder (127821)
*Tiny tags stamp set ('merry') (W118091 / C118592)


As a tip, to get the even banner tips, use your square punch!  It takes some getting used to in order to ensure it is centered, but once you get the hang of it, it's great!


Until next time!

Holiday Catalogue kick off party card

As I promised earlier, here is the first of the two cards we made at my kick off party on Wednesday.  The inspiration came from a Mojo Monday challenge a couple of weeks ago.  I unfortunately didn't enter the card in the challenge as I didn't want to ruin the surprise for the wonderful guests I had.  I used this same sketch but with different products as my entry in a recent swap as well!  Although it was a bit fiddly with the embossing, I thought it showcased some new products well and also had the "step it up" factor because you could choose not to do the embossing.

The products used were as follows:


*Baja breeze card stock (111352)
*Snow festival DSP (126908)
*Primrose petals card stock (126841)
*Whisper white card stock (100730)
*Ornament Keepsakes stamp set (W128048 / C128051)
*Holiday Ornaments framelits (127816) - REMEMBER: your can bundle these products in the holiday catalogue and enjoy a discount on the cost (W129949 / C129950 for the bundling codes)
*Iridescent ice emboss powder (101930)
*Heat tool (129053)
*Chock Full of Cheer (greeting) (W126715 / C126717)


I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend (and that you get a chance to stamp!!).

Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge - SSC10

I hope everyone enjoyed a good weekend!

I decided to play along with the Sunday Stamps sketch challenge this week:

I used products from the new holiday catalogue which is going live on Wednesday!  How exciting is that?  I am hosting a catalogue kick off party and we will be making two cards and I'll be showing some of the products to my guests.  I'll be sure to post the cards later on!  If you are in the Ottawa area and would be interested in attending, please contact me.


The products used on this card are as follows:


*Very vanilla card stock (101650)
*Raspberry ripple card stock (126842)
*Be of good cheer DSP (126896)
*Ornament keepsakes stamp set (stamped in gumball green and raspberry ripple) (W128048 / C128051)
*Holiday ornaments framelits (127816)
*Wacky wishes hostess set (W126410 / C126412)
*retired ribbon


I have mentioned in the past, but will do so again, that in the upcoming holiday catalogue, Stampin' Up! is offering customers a change to bundle certain products together and enjoy a discount on them.  For example, I bought the stamp set and framelits dies as a bundle!


If you like the greeting that I used let me know!  I can give you information on how you can earn this greeting set by hosting your own Stampin' Up! workshop or party.


Have a great week everyone!
