Happy World Cardmaking Day!! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Yes it REALLY is a day and yes we are celebrating!

Stampin' Up! has given us a whole week of specials so don't delay picking up your favourites before the sale ends Sunday, October 8th at 10:00 pm Pacific (I'm allowing for a bit of time in case you can't log in right away!) Click here to get started now or message/email me to do it for you!

I've already ordered more 12" x 12" Whisper White Cardstock - and the Very Vanilla is on sale too - the perfect size for making those 3" x 3" gift cards, or using on Scrapbook pages too. And yes, I got more Dimensionals and Tear & Tape adhesive too - why not when they are all on sale??

If you want cards in a hurry, then this "Lots of Happy" kit is perfect for you - it includes stamps and an ink spot so you only need adhesives and you are ready to create. It includes some exclusive to the kit watercolour pencil colours, and you can add to the kits ones with an assortment from the Annual Catalogue. You can even purchase a refill kit once you've done the first set!

Look at some of the cards I created and I even changed some up a bit to see what I could make "outside the box". I used some of the retired Sale-a-Bration card bases for the pretty So Saffron and Calypso Coral cards. You can sub any colour that you have on your craft table - what is your favourite colour?

Here's the Watercolor Pencils assortment you can add to your kit so you have lots of variety!

Don't wait to place your order - you could forget with all those thoughts of turkey and pumpkin pie on our minds for the next few days - have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and hope you are sharing some of your day/s with your family and friends!

Happy Stamping!

Sunday Share - Lemon Zest for Summer's End!

Do you feel sad when summer starts to wind down, and we know fall is coming? One way to keep that summery feeling is by turning to products that can make you think "summer" even if it isn't anymore.

Today's share does just that - citrus-y slices tumble across a card for a bright and cheerful greeting. I do love all the fun greetings in the Lemon Zest Stamp Set, and the fact that there is a coordinating punch makes it super easy to create a fun card with the images - here's a couple of cards I created  . . .  not sure if you can see it, but I added some glitter to the slices to make it look like they were dipped in sugar - yummy!

Want to get your own Lemon Zest going? Then click this link here to order your bundle sent directly to you and you will be making your own colourful cards within the week!

Here's the stamp set and coordinating Lemon Builder Punch for you to look at in my online store - you won't be sorry you picked it up!


And remember this week is the last chance to get the amazing Colour Your Season Bundle of products and the new Watercolor Pencils Assortment. . . . they will be gone after August 31st!

You can also qualify for Bonus Days Coupons when you shop in August - and spend them in September :-). 

Look for more details when you are in my website and store or let me know how I can help you place your order - I'm happy to do it for you if you'd rather not do the online thing!

Happy Stamping!

Sunday Share - Colour Your Season Limited Time only!!

Today's share is all about the new Colour Your Season bundle offered in August BUT only while supplies last!! Which means you need to order it now so you know it's on the way to you!

The Blended Seasons Stamp Set, coordinating Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies, and Watercolor Pencils are perfect for every season of creating! PLUS you save 10% when you buy both as a bundle AND you will qualify for a Bonus Days coupon (see below) with your order to spend in September - and that adds up to smart savings for you!

Here's some sample cards you can make with your set as soon as you get it - and because the set includes images for all year, you will reach for this set anytime you need to make a card, or themed layout for your scrapbook pages!

The limited time offer includes a second assortment of our fabulous Watercolor Pencils which are great on their own for colouring the line images - or you can use either our Blender Pens or Aqua Painter to soften and smooth out the lines. Your image will look like you spent hours watercolouring, when you really spent minutes filling in the colours, then blending!

I store my Watercolor Pencils in a Full Wide Stamp Case and include a Blender Pen and Aqua Painter in the box, along with a pencil sharpener so I am ready to colour anytime. Here's pictures of each item and yes, they are all available in my online store!  When you order from me, I will send you a PDF insert for your case so you can quickly find your Watercolor Pencils on your desk or work area! It includes both the original and new assortments on the front, so you always know what colours are in your case :-)

All the items in BOLD are available form my online store - you can shop anytime (click this link now!) and the order will go directly to your home. Not sure about online shopping yet?
