Sunday Share - Rainbows Make Happy Cards!

 

It's true - rainbows make us smile and think of happy times - whether it's memories of storms that have past and a rainbow came out to brighten our day, or maybe memories of pets that have gone on but we still cherish their memories of snuggles and love long after they crossed their Rainbow Bridge. 

That's why you need to make sure you can get the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle before the Spring Mini Catalogue ends June 30th - and to make the deal even sweeter - the dies are on sale 50% off so ordering the dies (#157726) and stamps (#157721) separately will save you even more money than getting the bundle!! Yay for the budget shopper 😍 !!

Here's some great ideas to get you started - straight from the catalogue! We are camping and I forgot to bring my samples to photograph and include so they will have to be shared another day . . .

The rainbow and cloud dies are perfect for so many cards - you will be super glad you decided to make this purchase! You can shop here and your order will soon be on it's way!  

How pretty is this card using the rainbow dies and filling in with your choice of colours?  And the greetings are perfect to send to someone to bring sunshine to their day!

Use my current Host Code FZZWFEKX when you shop so you can be in the next draw for shared Host Rewards - monthly draws take place the day after my Craft and Chat nights. Next one is July 19th at 7:00 pm and let me know if you aren't getting my invites through Mixily - I'd love to have you join me on Zoom 😉💕

Happy stamping!

Sneak Peeks of the Holiday Mini With Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop!

 

It's a fun Blog Hop today with my teammates at Canada Inks Up! as we share some new products coming July 1st in the Holiday (July - December) 2022 Mini Catalogue. That's right - with the Spring Mini retiring June 30th we are already looking ahead to the next season of products geared to making our Holiday themed projects special. Not only that, but we will have two months of Sale-a-bration items to choose in FREE products with your $60 orders during July and August.  Grab your beverages and hop along with each of us by going to the list at the end of my post and please do leave comments - we love to hear from you!!

At first glance my choice seemed like it's definitely for fall but I'm showing you in my cards that we can use our products for any season by changing up our colours and picking different embellishments. I am using Soft Seedlings Stamp Set on p 53 - take a look at my first card with summer colours for the maple leaf image and seedpod stamps. 

This stamp set is one of the Distinktive™ sets meaning we can get lots of depth in our images with only light inking. I've used Soft Succulent for my card base and for the stamped images. The contrasting strip of Designer Series Paper is one of the Silver pieces in the Sale-a-bration FREE "Silver & Gold Specialty Paper" packs. 

I added some Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon to my Tailor Made Tags die cut and a few Opal Rounds to finish off this card. The greeting is from the Soft Seedlings stamp set and is stamped in Memento Black ink. 

This next card is stamped in more traditional fall colours with a Cajun Craze card base. I stamped the maple leaf and seedpod images in Pumpkin Pie ink and added extra colour by using my Sponge Dauber inked with Cajun Craze. I used the Gold Stripe DSP from Sale-a-bration on this card to give the warmer fall look.  Did you notice the fun Kraft Leaf embellishments? They are part of a combo package called Leaf Labels & Amber Gems coming in the Holiday Catalogue - perfect to add to my second card.  

I did a bit of stamping inside on the Basic White layer and again a stamped image on the corner of the envelope . . . . I hope you like my sneak peeks for today - I can't wait to share the Holiday Mini catalogue with you soon!  Meanwhile here's the cover so you know what to look for!

Local customers can pick up the Holiday Mini now - I've arranged mailouts for out of town peeps and you should get yours soon! 

There's still time to get some deals on the retiring Spring Mini products so don't delay - you can shop here anytime and get your orders delivered right to your door! Check my blog sidebar for the latest Host Code so you can get in the draws for shared rewards drawn each month after my Craft and Chat nights.

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Hues of Happiness Suite Makes Me Happy (plus FREE Shipping coming!)

Sometimes we see products in the catalogues that just make us smile - that's exactly what happened when I saw the Hues of Happiness Suite on p 108 in the latest Annual Catalogue! You can see it all by clicking here!

I loved the intricate looking dies and the graphics in the stamp set but I think my favourite thing was the artistic elements in the Designer Series Papers. They are just stunning and so versatile too. Want just the bundle? Then click here!

There are sheets that have flowers that can be die cut with the coordinating die set, and the back of each page has designs that look like a painters palette and brushstrokes. They are not only great for backgrounds, but they are also perfect for stamping on to get some unique images (check my layout below)! Click here to see each of the papers in the pack one by one!

Here's some cards I shared on my Craft and Chat last month - so pretty!! 

Did you notice the masking on this first card? I masked the flower that I stamped, then stamped my leaves 🙂 and did a version of the eclipse cards with my die cut and then popped up hexagon shapes. 

This card has some embossing on the Night of Navy strips with the Stitched Greenery Die - love mixing new products with those I already have! And the next card lets the DSP shine with it's strips on the card and envelope too! I love the blues, but the header photo shows the same card in pinks and yellows from the DSP. Which do you like best??

Here's another project I did using the backside of the DSP and stamping flower images with VersaMark Ink, then Heat Embossing some Basic White Emboss powder and die cutting the results to add to my layout page. That adorable little one is our daughter-in-law's niece - what a cutie!!

The next two cards take the idea from the Annual Catalogue cover but using a different stamp set . . . our concept artists do an awesome job of showing off the different bundled stamps and dies! I used the super colourful Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes for quick cards!!

Do you like seeing the videos of our new products? Check this one here!

My next Craft and Chat night is Tuesday June 21st and you can get an invite from me if you don't have one yet - send me a message and I'll add you to my list. Then we meet on Zoom so all my friends can join in from wherever they are!

If you are shopping ahead I have a special surprise for you as Stampin' Up! just announced a FREE SHIPPING Day on June 21st for all orders $100 and over - WOW that's a great savings for you! And you can still use my Host Code BB6229W7 with your online orders and get in my draws to share Host Rewards too!

It's not too late to shop the Last Chance items from the Spring Mini which retires June 30th but time is running out so don't wait too long! Some items are already sold out and you don't want to miss if that special item is still on your wish list!  

Happy stamping!

RECOGNIZING EVERYDAY HEROES

Everyday Heroes invites you to celebrate, honour, and appreciate the special actions people make to show you they care.

The Everyday Heroes campaign focuses on the people who make small differences that touch our lives. These are the people who hold open a door, pay it forward in a fast-food line, or simply smile and say hello. We honour and celebrate the everyday heroes who go out of their way to show how much they care about others. This campaign is a way to appreciate the little acts of kindness that make a world of difference. Join me and Stampin’ Up! in celebrating, honouring, and recognizing the work of everyday heroes in your life. 

Stampin’ Up! has lots of ways to help you show the people in your life how much they mean to you. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, marking an anniversary, or just letting someone know that you appreciate all they do, we have stamps, dies, and embellishments to help. There’s something for every level of crafter to show the most important people in your life just how special they are including some of our Kits Collection! Take a look at the Kindness Cards Kit #159441 pictured below - perfect for handing out to someone who went the extra mile!

Sunday Share - Artfully Composed Suite For Your Tropical Projects!

There hasn't been enough time to share all the fabulous products in the Spring Mini that will be retiring the end of June . . .  so I'm highlighting my favourites in the next few weeks before they are gone for good! 

I loved the Artfully Composed Suite on p. 32 of the January - June Mini as soon as I saw it - it was like a breath of spring in our early days of looking at this new catalogue. Although I've used it for some cards, I haven't really showcased it for you so you can see the potential of the stamps and dies as well as the gorgeous Designer Series Paper (which is on sale while quantities last).

My cards today show how you can take more than one design of the patterned paper and make a great card . . . my first card uses four different patterns and they all work together. That's what's so good about getting a pack of our Designer Series Paper as you know they will coordinate so well. My second tip is to check the catalogue description (or the back of the package once you get it) and the solid colours that coordinate are listed so you know right away which cardstock and ink to reach for.  

I used Pear Pizzazz for my card bases, and Evening Evergreen for my inked sentiments - both colours listed on p. 33 to help you pick your papers based on what you have - or what you are planning to purchase! I do love the mixed font styles in the sentiments - they make a great focal point on any card!

My second card played off two of the pictured ones using some of the elements of both to create my own style - I wanted to try the border die in the Tropical Layers Dies so used it on the lower edge of the main pattern then I added two other elements using more die cuts. I love the look of them cut from pieces of the DSP don't you?

While there is still stock of these items, I wouldn't delay if you want to add them to your crafting space - retiring products tend to sell quickly so order here and you know it will be on it's way to you! While you are ordering please include my current Host Code BB6229W7 (if your orders are under $200) then I can track your orders and put you in my draws to share Host Rewards after my Craft and Chat events each month.

Next Craft and Chat is Tuesday, June 22nd at 7:00 pm on Zoom - I'm continuing with my Zoom classes so anyone can join in and share crafting time with us. I love seeing my friends from all over the province and even outside BC when they are traveling! If you aren't getting my email invites from "Mixily" please let me know and then RSVP so you can get my handouts too.

Ready to shop?? Then click here to go to my online store and check out all the retiring product bargains - you will be a happy shopper when you hit send!

Happy stamping!
