Sunday Share - Fun cards from my Catalogue Launch Event

I had such a good time with everyone who dropped by last weekend or on my Make it Monday night to look at the Occasions Catalogue and play with the new products "hands on" in my studio.

Here's the cards we did for our Make and Takes - very different but both were very popular too . . .

 I do love the hearts on this card and the die cuts so many extras that you can add to your card inside and on the envelope - or save them for another project! This set is perfect not only for Valentines Day coming up but also for anniversaries, weddings or special "thinking of you" cards. I used the FREE Sale-a-Bration Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets for my die cuts and background. (Tip: cut out the die cuts from your background as is will be covered by the All My Love DSP!) Not sure how well the foil sheets show in the picture but they are so rich in person - and you get 8 full size sheets in the pack (4 Lovely Lipstick and 4 Grapefruit Grove) so an amazing deal!!

You can purchase the bundle here in my online store by January 28th and be included in my draws for my Catalogue Launch and receive one of the Make and Take cards even though you couldn't make it! Simply use my Host Code U3YTE4ZY and you are in!

This card above uses my favourite Butterfly Gala bundle paired with the Gingham Gala Designer Paper Pack in the Occasions catalogue and the FREE Sale-a-Bration Botanical Butterflies Designer Paper - so many butterflies flying around my studio lately - I love them all!! Can you see the small partial butterfly on the inside? That's from the edges of the DSP! The punch coordinates with the paper making cutting out your images a snap!

Click on this link to get the Butterfly Gala bundle - you won't be sorry to add this versatile punch and stamp set to your craft room - and if you add the Gingham Gala DSP to your order, you can pick out a FREE item from Sale-a-Bration!! And remember to add the Host Code U3YTE4ZY when you shop online and be included in my Catalogue Launch draws - but only until January 28th!

Happy Stamping!!

Sunday Share - a fun afternoon at The Wesbrooke!

It's a new year and a new class at The Wesbrooke Senior's Residence in Pitt Meadows - I love coming to visit this group of ladies! They are always so happy to sit and make cards with me and love the results they get :-) Here's the cards we made last week with a brief description of what I used -

I used retired Designer Series Papers for this card - a few different sheets from the pack as these cards were going into the box for residents birthdays so we did not want them all the same! I also used the Stitched Labels Framelits to die cut the greeting which is from the Detailed With Love Stamp Set. We added some little pearls to finish off the card which was a super popular choice!

This card was done to look like a wrapped present on the card front - all tied in a bow with striped bakers twine from my retired stash - as was the paper. The greeting and stamped bows are from Picture Perfect Stamp Set and the stitched square and circle are done with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. 

Here's a couple of pictures of my happy stampers - they love sharing their finished results!

Sunday Share - It's a New Year and a New Look on my Blog!

I'm so happy with my blog refresh! Thank you Patsy for making it happen for me!! You can click on any of the Catalogue icons on my sidebar to go directly to the new Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-Bration brochure which are now live and ready for you to shop!

One of my favourite bundles from the Occasions Catalogue is the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and Punch. Paired with the Gingham Gala Designer Paper Pack and you qualify for a FREE Sale-a-Bration item. I picked the Botanical Butterfly designer Series Paper as it actually has images that fit the punch!! How awesome is that?? You can also pick the package of 5 different ribbons for a FREE item as I used in the card above - and did you notice they coordinate perfectly with the Gingham Gala DSP??

Take a look at this card - doesn't it say spring and happy??  I used the punch, and two different sheets of the Designer Series Paper pack - love the designs and did I mention that it is FREE!

I've been working on several new card samples to share with you at my Catalogue Launch Event next weekend - mark these dates on your calendar and let me know when you are coming so I can prepare Make and Take card kits for everyone! You can RSVP here or send me an email or message directly!

Saturday January 19th from 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Sunday January 20th from 1:00 - 4:00 pm

If you can't make the events, you can place an online order (click here) using this Host Code U3YTE4ZY and I will send you one of the Make and Take cards and enter you in the draws for prizes! If your order is over $200 then don't use the Host Code as you will get your own Host Rewards - and I will still send you the cards and enter you into the draws!!

Here's another Butterfly Gala card idea for you - I turned the box on p 9 of the Sale-a-Bration brochure into a card! I punched the black and white butterflies, then stamped them with various inks to get the colours!

If you can't make either of my Catalogue Launch dates, then why not come to my Make it Monday on January 21st from 7:00 - 9:00 pm?? It's always a fun event where we you can make cards to have handy for the next time you need one in a hurry - 2 cards/$5.00 and make as many as you have time for (cards are free with orders over $50.00). RSVP here for my Make it Monday event or message me directly so I prepare enough kits for you!

I will hold all the weekend event orders until Monday January 28th so you can figure out which bundles you want to get, and which Sale-a-Bration items you want to pick for FREE!

Here's a look at the calendars I made for this year for my customers, family and friends and I used the FREE Sale-a-Bration Organza Ribbon Pack for them - love how they coordinated with the ink colours I used!!

Happy Stamping!
