Attach it to the top, left of the greeting label using Mini Glue Dots.
5. Attach the candy cane to the back left of the Soft Suede mug, and attach the mug to the right side of the DSP at an angle. Attach the Cherry Cobbler mug to the bottom, right of the first mug at an opposite angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Put a Stampin’ Dimensional to the back of the left side of the greeting and glue onto the back of the right side. Attach it to the card over both mugs, making sure the glue side is on the Cherry Cobbler mug, and the Dimensional side is on the Soft Suede mug.

You need to try our welcome home challenge

This week's Paper Craft Crew challenge is so much fun because it is basically wide open! 

 

Yes, it looks like fall but doesn't have to be. Yes, it looks like you should use a set with a house in it but you don't have to. It could also be a welcome card....or not!

When I saw this challenge I knew immediately I wanted to use my Snowfront stamp set. This challenge made me think of a scene with a house it in and the fall colors in the challenge helped me decide to add a tree with falling leaves. 

Have you seen the Snowfront set? It looks like it is designed for Winter scenes, but is it?

Snow Front Photopolymer Stamp Set
$22.00

I decided to use fall colors: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Soft Suede. Add a touch of Crushed Curry and matching layers and here's what you can get:

Now it's your turn: try our card map challenge and see what you can created. If you want to see what the other crew members created for this week's challenge, click here. 

It was a crazy fun stamping event!

Last week I drove with a friend to Dortmund, Germany for Stampin' Up!s three day On Stage event. 

There were hundreds of Stampin' UP! demonstrators there from: the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany (of course), France, the Netherlands and the USA. 

Sarah and Shelli were there too - and kept us in stitches with their on stage antics. These two women are amazingly creative, kind, caring and genuine human beings. 

What was this event all about? Stampin' Up! is going to release two catalogs in January and we got to not only see them but we also got to see a ton of creative ideas for using them too. It was so much fun hanging out with new and old friends. We laughed until our sides ached each and every day. 

There were several spots for photo opportunities which added to the fun:

And of course, I had time to pour over the new catalog - guess how long my wish list is!

I bet you would like to see some project photos too, right? Here are a couple - head over to my Facebook Business page for more.

See how this paper creates a beautiful illusion

Today I have a lovely card idea - and it's the Pressed Petals specialty designer series paper that creates such a beautiful illusion. 

Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper
$14.50

Pressed Petals specialty paper is a lightweight paper with photographic images of real pressed petals on one side and vintage designs on the other. One design has distinct designs to cut out and use on card fronts.

So when you have gorgeous paper to craft with, let it be the star and keep the rest of the elements simple. 

Have you seen the Detailed Bands dies? I feel this pack is overlooked in the catalog, which is sad because you can create beautiful die-cut belly bands, labels, and leaves.

Supplies: 

• Stamp Sets – Band Together (149231)
• Card Stock – So Saffron; Night Of Navy (100867); Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper (149500); Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper (149612)

5. Adhere the strip to the right-hand side of the card front ¼” from the top of the designer paper
   (It won’t reach across the card front but will be covered up in the next step).
6. Glue the Night of Navy mat to the card front about ¼” from the top and left-hand side. 
7. Stamp the words in Night of Navy just above the Pressed Petal Paper. 
8. Stamp the flower in Crushed Curry Ink on the Fluid 100 Watercolor paper and color the flower and center with the So Saffron, color parts of the flower center with the Crumb Cake.
9. Stamp the leaves in Old Olive ink and color with the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.
10. Cut out the flower & leaves out with the coordinating die from the Detailed Band Dies.
11. Adhere the flowers and leaves to the card front with dimensionals (as shown in the photo).

You need to try this fun Christmas card layout

In today's video I am going to show you another Christmas card idea, using the So Many Stars bundle and the and the Brightly Gleaming designer series paper. 

So Many Stars Bundle (En)
$57.50

Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper
$14.50

 

These two products, although not designed to coordinate, have been my go-to for Christmas cards this year. I just can't see to get enough of them. Plus, I like that the basic tone in the Brightly Gleaming paper is Very Vanilla, which adds a different and softer look for the holiday season. 

This week my card has several layers, which also adds interest and coordination:

Stamp set: So Many Stars bundle (153016)

Ink: Night of Navy

Paper and cutting dimensions:
        Mossy Meadow: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; 2 3/4" x 4"

        Very Vanilla: 2 1/2" x 3 3/4"; 3 1/2" square
        Brightly Gleaming: 3 3/4" x 5"; 2 1/2" x 1 1/4"

Other: Brightly Gleaming designer series paper (150429), SNAIL, Basic Pearls Jewels (optional)

After the video ended I decided to add a bit of shine to my card, using the Basic Pearls Jewels. Sometimes a tiny extra bit can take your card to a new level of interest, can't it?

As promised in my video below, here's how I designed the inside of my card:

Here's my video - listen along for some extra tips that I share:

• Paper Pumpkin subscription (a fun monthly kit that arrives at the door)
• my Clearance Rack (Everything Rosy kit is now there!)
• our new Paper Trimmer
• Project Kits
