Sunday Share - Gingerbread and Peppermint Bring On Memories!

 

One of the things I always love about the holidays are the sweet smells that fill the house. Whether it's baking gingerbread or stirring a cup of hot chocolate with a peppermint candy cane, the smells of the holidays bring treasured memories to mind. What's your favourite baking memory for the holidays?

You can add a hint of nostalgia and many sweet moments to your holidays this year with the Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite. It's packed with everything you need to create cards, memory keeping, treats, and gifts that will make even more sweet memories!

The tutorial below includes a masking technique to make your own patterned paper, heat embossing, and lots of intricate die cut details.

Shop online to get delivery right to your door - when you use my current Host Code T7BQWPTV I can track your order and send my thank you at the end of each month. Check my Events page for next Zoom times and let me know if you want to join in the fun!

Happy Stamping!

Sunday Share - Happy Thanksgiving and Night Before Christmas Card Kit Class

Happy Thanksgiving to each one of you - I am so thankful for you as you share my crafting journey each week! I hope you are able to spend time with family and friends this weekend sharing traditions or creating new ones . . . . it's all about having some time to get together, telling stories both old and new, and remembering those who have been a part of our lives during the past year.

Take pictures, scrapbook them with the stories and in years to come they will be part of your traditions too. Here's just a few of the projects you can do with a Thanksgiving theme including home decor items for your table!

As my time with Elections Canada is winding down (the election is Monday October 21st), my thoughts are turning to classes with you and what is more fun that having a class based on the Night Before Christmas Suite of products in our Holiday Catalogue?? Take a look at p 24 - 25 and you will be signing up right away! Bring a friend too - these Christmas Card classes are super popular and always sell out fast so don't delay!!

We will be creating with the Night Before Christmas Memories & More Card Pack (with leftover bits for more cards or layouts once you get home!) and the Night Before Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. The cost for this class is only $35.00 and you will make 20 cards with me and I'll include the use of my stamps for greetings, inks and the ribbon and twine you need to dress up your cards (and some early Christmas treats to nibble on too!). All you need to bring is your own adhesives - including tape runner, two sided tape, dimensionals and any other adhesives you want to use! If you forget yours, or run out I always have a good supply for you to purchase at the time.

I'll have afternoon classes from 1:00 - 4:00 pm and evening classes from 6:30 to 9:30 pm so you can pick the time that suits you best . . . . classes will be held the week of November 18th to 24th. Please indicate your preferred time/s when you book and payment is required by October 23rd so I can order and know they will be here for your class! Each session is limited to 4 people so you have room to spread out a bit!  Here's a quick look at the card pack and all it contains!

And here are the card bases and envelopes before you add your creative touches!

You can etransfer $35.00 to me or let me know you want to use your credit card - whichever works best. Can't wait to see you and make these cards - and they will give you a good start on your Christmas Cards - ready to send! And if you want to shop for other products then use this link and browse my store - I do appreciate you shopping with me and I will send you a thank you in the mail at the end of the month :-)

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Santa's Workshop Memories & More

Have you looked at p 21 in the Holiday Catalogue?? The Santa's Workshop Memories & More pack and coordinating card bases and envelopes in bright Poppy Parade will give you a super quick start to your card making this year! There are 20 card bases, and 20 matching envelopes in each package - amazing deal!

My studio times filled up so quickly for this popular class - before I could even share it with you on my blog! However, if you do order the products, I will send you my handout so you can create the same cards at home as we are doing this week in our classes - and you will have lots left over to make more cards or scrapbook page layouts that are included in your "extra ideas" from me!

Here's a quick look at my class preparation and the products you will need to order to make your 20 cards - unfortunately the Santa's Workshop Enamel Shapes were so popular they are sold out but you can substitute the Red Rhinestones or other enamel shapes or dots you might have on hand to add some bling to your cards. The Memories & More pack comes with 4 sheets of stickers, and some glitter pieces too - all designed to fit the coordinating card bases! You will need your own adhesives, a paper trimmer and scissors.

Shop my online store (click here) to order any of the products, or ask me to help you get your order in soon so you can start your cards like the samples below:

A quick reminder too - my next Make it Monday class is coming soon on November 19th at 7:00 pm and we will definitely be making Christmas cards for you to take home . . . . .  as always this event needs you to RSVP on my website or by email/message to me so I can prepare your kits. Cards are 2/$5.00 and make as many as you have time for or free with a qualifying order that night.

Can't wait to share some Christmas card magic with you soon!

Happy stamping!

Petal Passion Memories & More - not just for scrapbooking!

Hi everyone - have you skipped over the pages that say"Memories & More" in the Occasions (or the Annual) Catalogue because you think they are only about scrapbook layouts??

Grab a coffee or tea and let me show you how easy it is to make some really quick cards from the card packs - a perfect item to take away with you - add some cardstock bases (even our Note Cards and Envelopes would work well too!), your favourite adhesives and maybe a bit of sparkly ribbon and you're ready to roll!

Here's the pictures of the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack from the Occasions Catalogue - there are some pocket scrapbooking samples for sure, and then some fun card and tag ideas for you to copy or use as a starting point for your own creativity :-)

Take a look on p 24 and see how much product you get for such a reasonable price (everything in the picture below for only $12.50!!)

Here are a couple of cards we made at a recent team meeting using the card pack and colouring with Stampin' Blends -  

They were so easy to colour and look so soft and springlike!

Today was a kind of dreary day outside as the rain tried to wash away our snow from last week so I decided to play with the new Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper - a FREE item in the last flyer - and I love the colour combination of the foils with Bermuda Bay! I added a bit of the Copper Trim and some of the Pick a Pattern Washi Tape to the card - turned out pretty well for a rainy day project!

As I went through the card pack, I saw the two little birds and matted them on Basic Black cardstock, then paired them with one of the Powder Pink background cards (cut down a bit). I added some Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon from the Annual Catalogue as well as some of the Metallic Sequins - I think both cards turned out really nice - what do you think? What colour combinations would you use??

Here's a video from Stampin' Up! showing how they used the Memories & More Card Pack for their cards - hope it inspires you too!
