Good Saturday morning – hope your weekend is starting out well! I think (hope!) that I’ll still be asleep when you read this – keep your fingers crossed. We just got done with the first week of nights – yuk! One more week and then home on Sunday!! 🙂
Today’s share is another Occasions sneak peek. This time, I’m using the coming-to-an-Occasions-Catalog-near-you stamp set called Party Wishes! And the coordinating It’s My Party DSP. Oh, and a sentiment from Watercolor Wishes! Take a look-see:
Good morning! Thanks to all who came to visit yesterday and sent some time hopping around the blog-isphere with the Happy Stampers – we appreciate you taking the time! 🙂
As I promised on Wednesday, today’s share uses the stamp set called Botanicals For You – which complements the Occasions Catalog Botanical Gardens Suite – and the Flowering Fields stamp set. Both of these great sets are in the Sale-A-Bration catalog coming in January. Oh – and, did I mention you could get them for the whopping price of….free?!?!
It’s a seriously quick and easy card. Take a look-see:
Pretty, huh? Hang on – the directions are beyond easy!
Mike Mike Mike Mike MIKE!
That’s right – it’s HAWMP day again! Two more days till the weekend. Then one more week. Then – in theory! – home! Not that I’m counting or anything!! 🙂
I hope that you guys are making progress on your Christmas preparations and present getting and card making!
Today’s card is another sneak peek of the new Botanical Builder Framelits and the Botanical Gardens DSP. For the sentiment, I used the One Big Meaning stamp set from the 2015 Annual Catalog. I love that set – the sentiments are so fun and the fonts are wonderful. Take a look-see:
Well – we’ve got new Weekly Deals ready for your shopping pleasure. Read down to see what’s available!
And here’s an exciting update from Stampin’ Up! At least, I’m excited – I hope you will be, too! SU! told us this morning that the Woodland TIEF – previously announced to be retiring in January…….drum roll, please!…..will be returning instead! Yes, it’s true – Stampin’ Up! has decided to take this seriously popular item off the retiring list and put it on the returning list for the 2016 Annual Catalog!! The TIEF will take a temporary hiatus from now until the 2016 Annual Catalog opens up – so get it on your wish lists and be looking for it next summer Whoo-hoo! Woodland is one of my very favorite things in this Holiday catalog – so, this was a really welcome surprise this morning! Here’s just one of the cards I’ve shared using the wonderful embossing folder! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I want to remind everyone that the shares are open for the 2016 Occasions Catalog Shares. There’s a couple of options – you can get a sampling of all the new Designer Specialty Papers. With this option, you’ll get 80 6″x6″ sheets of beautiful new papers. The second option is a share of the new Ribbons, Trims and Embellishments. If you choose this option, you’ll get 16 yards of ribbon and 46 new embellishments. Or – and this is the most popular choice – you can HAVE IT ALL! Pick this one – and get the 80 6″x6″ sheets of DSP, 10 yards of Ribbon and 46 Embellishments. AND – I’ll ship it out Priority Mail for free. There’s that good 4-letter word again! 🙂
Good morning, y’all. Hope that you had a wonderful weekend and are ready to get the week going!
This was a busy weekend for me – we’re moving to a second shift schedule this week, meaning I’ll get back to the hotel each day around midnight. 🙁 For those of you who’ve been following me, you know that’s not my favorite work schedule! I’m a 9pm bedtime kinda girl! And, it really messes with my card making time. So, I spent the weekend making cards so I’d be able to keep sharing something with you each day!
Today’s project is a Christmas card, featuring Versatile Christmas for the sentiments (Versatile Christmas is on the Retiring list – so if you want it, now’s the time!) and the beautiful Festive Flower punch. Take a look-see:
So – have I told you guys that I have a most awesome husband? Well, if I haven’t – I should have. Cuz I do. He routinely stays back at the homedrome keeping everything together and going. And taking care of horses. And cats. And bills. And…and…and! And, he’s been thru way more than his fair share of taking care of me (literally) thru a series of medical things. Better than I could have ever hoped for – and for much longer than either of us ever expected! So. I am a fortunate woman, indeed. Just wanted to say that!
For my share today, I decided I’d whip up a card with the soon-to-come (like on 5 Jan!) Going Global stamp set in the 2016 Occasions Catalog. The stamp set lends itself really well to “miss you, love you” kinds of cards – so this is one that will go in the mail to my most-wonderful-hubby on Monday. And the coordinating Going Places DSP Stack is just gorgeous! I used a little of the paper and a few of the stamps and this is what I came up with. Take a look-see:
Today’s share is quick and easy! And uses one of my very favorite stamps from the 2016 Holiday Catalog that, sadly, is retiring in January. 🙁
The Dove of Peace stamp is an elegant, religious Christmas stamp – with the added appeal of being suitable for coloring and customizing to suit your craft! For this card today, I’ve kept it very, very clean and simple. It’s monochromatic in white and Cherry Cobbler. Take a look-see:
It’s Friday, it’s Friday! Whoo-hoo!! I am very ready indeed – and I hope that you have something fun to look forward to this weekend. And, I don’t want to put too fine a point on it, but….there’s only 21 shopping day till Christmas. Just sayin’….
Speaking of Christmas – why don’t you try to get a little sumpin’-sumpin’ for free for Christmas? Like….some Blog Candy! You’ve still got a few days to get entered. Entries close Monday afternoon – I’ll draw Tuesday morning. Here’s the spot to go to get your name in the hat. 🙂
