Hello Lovely

Hello Lovely

The stamp set I used for this card is called Hello Lovely. In spite of that, the Hardwood background stamp gives it a masculine feel and I love the trendy look that the Hello Lovely set lends to it. Inside the card is a die cut I {heart} U. There are a bunch of fun little die cuts like these that come with the two flip card thinlits. Lots of fun goodies!

Thanks for looking today!

A Little Something

I know. Bad blogger. Bad. Blogger. I have no excuse. Just a confession. I have fallen madly in love and just couldn’t tear myself away from my new dearest. No need to tell my husband. He is smitten as well. Meet Pyper Eden. She insists on being held all the time and I am happy to oblige her. Being a Nana is the best thing in the whole world.

Since mommy is able to drive and back on her feet, I guess it is time to get back into a routine and stop neglecting all of my other duties.

I have a few things to share, even though it is very difficult for me to get into creative mode with so many things to distract me. Since I haven’t taken any photo’s yet, I’ll share some “extra” projects that haven’t made it to the blog yet.

Hearts a Flutter

This is a lollipop cover. I’ll try to put together a tutorial for these with the dimensions. They are really easy. I will probably make some version of these for Aubrey’s school party this year. Quick and fun. I used the Hearts A Flutter set and framelit for this one and the More Amore from last years Spring Catalog. As luck would have it, this paper is now on the clearance rack and very inexpensive! There are some really great prints in this pack and some fun laser cut heart doilies. You can check it out at the link below.

Thanks for stopping by!

Perfect Blend Gift Box

perfect blend
I have a quick and easy gift option for you today, but first a little news. Stampin’ Up! has added a lot of new items to the Clearance rack. Go check it out and grab some of the fabulous deals. There are a lot of Christmas related items that have retired, including some great sets, punches, framelits and dies from last years Holiday Catalog! Click the link below to see them.

I used our Tag a Bag gift boxes to hold some Keurig K cups and candies, and slipped in a Starbucks gift card to make the perfect gift for my favorite coffee enthusiasts. You can substitute whatever works in the coffee maker of choice for a great gift for co-workers or teachers. Both of my daughters are crazy for Coffee and Rocket Brothers Iced coffees so they are getting these in their stockings. Of course, the Perfect Blend set had to be included in the mix! I stamped the image 3 times. Once each on Crumb Cake and Whisper White card stock and then again on the dsp. I cut parts out and paper-pieced the cup and popped it up on the tag from the Chalk Talk framelits. I love that tag, because it slips over ribbon so nicely!

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Thursday Thank You!

I am hoping to change over to my new theme this weekend, so I’ll have several posts coming over the next couple of days! Today Stampin’ Up! announced a special on their blog, celebrating 250 blog posts. Every Thursday in October they will announce a product special for that day only. Today’s Thankful Thursday special is Washi Tape

131269 Epic Day  $3.71 (regular price 4.95)
129314 Gingham Garden  $3.71 (regular price 4.95)
132156 Witches Brew  $3.71 (regular price 4.95)

I am also announcing a Mystery Hostess event for the month. See the details below.

another thank you1

This card is done with the new photopolymer set called Another Thank You. I embossed the thank you image and then stamped the leaves. I trimmed the edges of the burlap ribbon to give it a different look. I also used some of the trimmed strands to  add to the wispy fall look.

Another Thank You

I finished off the bow with an antique brad and held the leaves in place with little copper safety pins. Bring on the fall weather!

Mystery Hostess Event!

Thankful Thursdays is a great reason to kick off a Mystery Hostess event using the new Hostess code! You can place orders in the online store and link to a particular workshop. Your order placed in the online store will ship immediately, but the workshop can be held open all month. You could take advantage of each Thursday’s special and possibly earn Hostess rewards for the event as well! Each time you place an order this month you will entered in the drawing for the hostess rewards. This workshop will also be eligible for the extra hostess benefits!
It is really easy to order in the online store.

Here is the Hostess code for this event

GJGTYCGT

Enter this code when you place your order in My Online Store. There is a hostess code box at the bottom of the page to enter it.There is a minimum shipping charge in the online store. You can still place orders by email, but I won’t be able to add them to this particular Mystery Hostess event because of the one day specials and I would have to hold the order till the end of the month. If you have any trouble ordering in the online store, just call me and I’ll help you through it.

Good luck on being the next Mystery Hostess!

Timeless Talk

Timeless Talk

This was a card from Stamp Camp in June. The image was stamped in Baked Brown Sugar ink and then I used a blender pen and Crisp Cantaloupe ink to add some additional color to the image. I love those colors together!

Perfect Blend

Perfect Blend

Here is one of the cards that we will be making for stamp camp tomorrow. Love this new Perfect Blend set and the Coastal Cabana paper! The paper is from the Afternoon Picnic DSP pack. I was a little bummed that they carried the design over from the Spring Catalog (Tea for Two) but changed up the colors. I am crazy for Calypso coral, but not really a purple and blue or teal fan. When I opened the new pack though, I was surprised at how much I liked the combo. Those colors are just beautiful together!

I drew in the “coffee rings” with a marker using the new circle framelits as a guide. The splatter stamp is from one of the My Paper Pumpkin kits. I hope you make it to camp tomorrow to grab your new catalog!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Faux Chalk From My Heart

From My Heart

Here is another card that I made using the Faux Chalk technique. I embossed the images from the Creative Elements and From My Heart sets in white EP and then drew in some lines and highlights with a white watercolor pencil. I finished it off by sponging on some “chalk smudges” using Whisper White craft ink. I think the doily trim sets it off nicely.

Thanks for stopping by today!
