Sunday Share - Some Whimsy & Wonder For You!!

 

Add a bit of quirky charm to your holidays this year with the Whimsy & Wonder Suite! The non-traditional colours in this suite add to the whimsical fun.

The iridescent accents of the Whimsy and Wonder 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper and the coordinating iridescent Wonderful Snowflakes add a magical shimmer to your projects. The wonder of it all is that with the switch of colours you can also create an elegant and traditionally look with these stamps and dies.

Let's create some Christmas cheer with this unique slim card! The tall, slender tree dies make them perfect to try this card idea out! Ribbon, Metallic Adhesive Dots, Velvet Paper and Wink of Stella add that extra bit of texture and sparkle that really make this card shine!

Did you miss out on my World Card Making Day card and retired products sale yesterday? I do have a few times available during the coming week to share what we did with you - check with me for times that will work for you! 

Thanks to everyone who did come - loved spending some time with you - masked and distancing - we made it work!

There's a new Host Code for shopping online this month T7BQWPTV - please use it so I can track your orders and send my thank yous at the end of each month 😉 

Happy Stamping!
Ginny

Sunday Share - The Tag Buffet Kit - One Kit Three Ways!!

 I don't know how your calendar is going these days but for me the days, weeks and months are just zooming by! I thought with us staying home more that time would slow down but it seems like the opposite is happening - what's your year been like so far?? Are you looking for some quick ideas to get started on your crafting for Christmas? 

Kits are the perfect product to break out when friends drop by for coffee, or if you want to make multiples of greeting cards in a relatively short amount of time. They're also great for World Cardmaking Day projects! I shared some ideas yesterday on my Facebook page, but saved this one for my Sunday blog post so everyone would be able to see this kit idea . . . .

The Tag Buffet Project Kit (item 153649) from the August–December 2020 Mini Catalog lets you create 30 beautiful gift tags--but guess what? You can make cards with this kit, too. It’s so easy when you add the coordinating Tag Buffet Stamp Set (item 153612), card bases, some bling and adhesive.  You can order your kit by clicking on this link here and it will be on it's way as soon as Stampin' Up! can process the order (and they are super fast lately).

If you need some more papers, then check out the Designer Series Papers on sale - 15 different designs all on sale for the month of October just in time for cranking up your holiday production!! Check out the details here and add them to your kit order 😊 for delivery direct to you or message me to add to my next order going in and we can arrange safe pickups or drop off . . . .  

See the video below for some fast tags-to-cards inspiration!

I hope you are getting some crafting time this weekend - 

Happy stamping!

World Card Making Day is Saturday - #makeacardsendacard

 

Did you know that October 3rd is World Card Making Day? Whether you stamp at home or gather with some friends in person or online, World Card Making Day is a great excuse and incentive to take the time to create and send cards.

Who do you know that could use the joy of a handmade card? Everyone needs to hear that they’re important to someone, and sending a card is a simple and powerful way to show the people in your life that they matter to you!

You could make it a day of service by creating cards for a specific charity, create cards to share your gratitude, get a jump on your Christmas cards, or create cards for any occasion.

I'm hoping to hop onto a couple of Facebook lives during the day with some quick and easy ideas for you if I can juggle my life after starting working at the the local Elections BC office last week - stay tuned and fingers crossed!!

If you signed up for my newsletters, then watch your in box for my special one later today with some ideas for you to make your cards!

Happy Stamping!
Ginny

P.S. Don't forget the important step of mailing your cards so the joy you created can shine on those you love!

Sunday Share - #makeacardsendacard and Some Holiday Catalogue Card Swaps

Did you make cards yesterday for World Card Making Day?? If you did, then remember to MAIL them to your family and friends so they know you are thinking of them - they will LOVE getting some "happy mail" from you :-) I made family birthday and anniversary cards to send and they are ready to go when I head out later this morning to work at the Elections Canada office . . . since I can't show those cards in case they see them here, I'll share with you some cards from the Holiday Catalogue that I got in swaps and made at a team meeting I attended mid-September.

One of the easiest ways to get your creativity going is to copy a card idea from our catalogues - after all the concept artists are paid to come up with awesome ideas that we can use - and chances are their ideas are what sold you on getting a particular stamp set or dies!! You can check out the card above on p 16 - it uses the dies and the greeting and there are so many choices in this Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set that you will reach for it all the time!! The Designer series paper is Toile Tidings on p 8 and it is perfect for Christmas projects on one side and anytime of year one the other so a great value!!  Get the bundle here now so you can start your cards!

The next two cards (above and below) are from a team swap and the cards came from p 3 introducing the bundles in the Holiday catalogue . . .  the first card from my friend Colleen shows off the Tidings All Around Bundle, and the second card from my friend Alison highlights the Perfectly Plaid Bundle in non-traditional colours - I love them both!! If these cards make you want to start creating then click on the links for each bundle and they will be on their way soon! I probably bought the whole suite of the Perfectly Plaid products as I love plaid and the tree punch makes it so easy!!

And last card for today shows our happy moose that I made at a team meeting last month - what can be more Canadian than this fun moose and his red scarf?? Well, I guess you could put a Buffalo Check Background behind him and that would be perfect! You can find the Merry Moose Bundle on p 27 in your Holiday Catalogue - and it's another punch!!

Till next time - Happy stamping!!

World Card Making Day - #makeacardsendacard

Today is World Cardmaking Day - and I'm popping by with a quick post to ask you to #makeacardsendacard to someone you know - I know that it's so much fun to make a card that we need to remember the real happiness is sharing that card! So make your card, get out the envelope and make it match, then put an address on it and SEND it out by the end of the weekend!

Here's a couple of ideas to get you started . . . . . .  I made these cards last time I visited my ladies at The Wesbrooke Residence and had such a good time with them. They certainly know how to spread the joy with their card making!

This is another never-ending card I did for friends celebrating their 50th Anniversary - it is really a WOW kind of card and if you have never tried it, I can share some easy steps in a class with your friends - let me know!

I'll be back tomorrow with some more ideas in my Sunday Share feature - hope you can share your cards too before they go in the mail!

Need new products? Want to shop the Holiday catalogue now? Then use this link and your order will soon be on it's way!

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!
