Stampin’ Up! Sparkly Seasons Hello!

Happy Day-After-Hump-Day!  Decided to play around with a cute new stamp set today called Sparkly Seasons.  It’s got a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for every holiday – Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween!  And it matches with a fun framelits set called Seasonal Frame.  And when you buy them both together, you can save 15%!

I also used a little bit of Hello You Thinlits….some Hearth & Home Thinlits and a Holiday Catalog Hostess Set called Six Sayings.  Yep – I was all over the place! 🙂

But – I think it came out pretty cute.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Thoughts & Prayers and Leaflets Offer Sympathy for the Loss of a Pet

Today, sadly, I do not have a Christmas card to share.  Or even a Halloween or Thanksgiving card.  Today, I had to delve into my Thoughts & Prayers stamp set to make a special request card.  A friend of a friend lost their 14 year old lab this past week.  So, after seeing the Pink and Black card I made with the black lab stamp, she asked me to make a card for her to give.

All of us who share our lives with 4-legged fur-kids know that this is the greatest downside…they never stay with us long enough.  It’s just part of the deal.  The sucky part.  I hear all the words….he had a great life….he knew you loved him.  Yada yada yada.  It still sucks and it still hurts something fierce.

But – I hope this card will bring some comfort and a smile.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! A Flurry of Wishes for Christmas!

As I sort of promised yesterday – yea, I really committed to it (“Maybe tomorrow I’ll make a card that totally matches it”)! – I DID in fact make a card that very nicely complements the pretty gift box I made yesterday.  If you missed that, check it out here!

I used the new Flurry of Wishes stamp set and the matching Snow Flurry punch (yes, in a bundle for 15% off!) and a little more of the Season of Cheer DSP.  AND – I used one of my fave new toys – the Envelope Liners Framelits!  I’ve been wanting that die set for the longest time.  Yes, I learned how to make custom liners for my custom envelopes.  I even made a Tutorial on that!  But, I’ve wanted this die set that would quickly make rounded-flap liners to match the SU! envelopes.  And now I’ve got it! 🙂

Here’s what I came up with.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Embellished Ornaments and a Snow Flurry

Today’s share is not a Christmas Card.  It’s not even a card.  It’s a card HOLDER! Which in some cultures would be called a….box.  But, this is a special and highly embellished box, worthy of your beautiful creations!

After I spent yesterday playing with all the new DSPs and ribbons and embellishments, and then sorting thru all MY new stamp sets and punches and dies….I was in a gluttonous state of crafting overload.  I have so many new things that I want to create with – I hardly know where to start!  But – I decided to narrow it down to the new Season of Cheer DSP, the Embellished Ornaments stamp set and its matching framelits called Delicate Ornaments (which is one of the many great bundles available in the Holiday Catalog!) and finally the Snow Flurry Punch.  I brought that all together and made…this.  Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Quick and Easy….No Bones About It!

Stampin’ Up! You’ve Got This Lends Happy Notes to a Best Wishes Card!

Hope you’re sitting down.  This is a bit earth-shattering.  Are you ready?

Today’s share is….NOT….a Christmas Card!!  gasp 

Instead, it’s a custom-made card requested by a friend of mine for a friend of ours.  She’s headed to a new job, and he wanted one of my “special” cards (his words, not mine!).  No special requests. But, I remembered she likes pink – she even has pink shoes!  So that was certainly a starting point!

And – when you look at the list of products used in this card, you should be sitting down.  Really.  It looks HUGE.  Well, it really kind of IS huge.  But, it was necessary for this card and this sketch!

There are two central stamp sets used – You’ve Got This and Happy Notes – both from the Annual Catalog.  The design was inspired by Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge number 284.  Be sure to check them out, okay?

SSSC 284

And the color scheme comes – again! – from Stamp, Ink, Paper.  I just had to do it – I loved the idea of putting pink with the black and white.  So I did!

SIP #12 sketch

I chose Pink as my color – but I took a few liberties with it – I used Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Wondrous Wreath takes a Sleigh Ride Thru the Snow!

Well, it’s Friday-eve!  Which is a little like Christmas Eve.  Except that tonight you probably don’t have to stay up putting together a lot of “some assembly required” toys!  Or is that even a thing any more?  Do toys come out of the box ready to go?  Maybe they just need to be plugged in.  I’m out of touch in the toys-for-Christmas department!

My card today features the new Sleigh Ride Edgelits (not THAT sleigh – no reindeer here!) and Wondrous Wreath, with some Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum thrown in for good measure.  Not to mention an assist from Happy Scenes!  It’s a melding of the new and the not-so-new, to make a pretty 3-color Christmas Card. Take a look-see:
