Good morning everyone! Hope you enjoyed the extra time off yesterday – and had a chance to reflect a moment on WHY we take note of the day!
My card today uses a fun new product – the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape! It’s super cool and super pretty – and – the design on it is cut-out-able using the Extraordinary Flora Die! I paired it with some Country Woods DSP – and a very cool new die set called…Party Banners! It all came together to make this pretty birthday card. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Tuesday-from-Colorado! Guess what today is?! Nope – you won’t guess (UNLESS you’re a demonstrator – THEN you might guess!). It’s…PRE-ORDER Day for the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog! Whoo-hoo!! I’m so excited – and I just can’t hide it!!
And – not for nuthin’ – did you know that if YOU joined right now – you could put new catalog goodies in your Starter Kit?! YES – it’s true! And it ships for free! And – once you’ve DONE that – you can get busy AGAIN and get the rest of your list with that shiny new 20% Demonstrator Discount! AND – you’d be a Critter (that’s what we call ourselves – the members of the Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew)! BOOM! 😎
Now. Y’all know I’m in Colorado and will be here until…I just don’t know when. So – for the next little while, you’re going to see cards that I didn’t actually make. I’m going to share cards from our retreat – including the how-to’s. And – for today – I have a card that my friend Judy Hartbarger – and fellow Critter!! – made SPECIFICALLY so I’d have a card to share with you.
How. Cool. Is. That?! Thank you, my friend!
The gorgeous card she made is a front-flap fun fold card using Regal Winter DSP and some Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder! A sentiment from Unbounded Love turned it into a birthday card! Take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! Hope your week is going well! I’m starting the gift gathering for Christmas – and trying to keep at least a LITTLE surprise for Wayne! It’s not easy, believe me! 🤦♀️
My card today isn’t a Christmas card – birthdays need cards, too! I saw a really cool card that Dawn Olchefske made and…I wanted to do one of my own! I pulled out the online exclusive Golden Greenery stamp set and the Unbounded Love set (for the sentiment) from the Annual Catalog. I used some Deckled Rectangle die cuts for a mask and sentiment! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
The color challenge sent me right to the Unbounded Beauty DSP – and the coordinating Flowers of Beauty and Unbounded Love bundles. I ended up not needing the great frame dies in the Unbounded Love set – but…the rest of it got a workout on this birthday card! Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! Happy Friday. Hope you had a good day yesterday – and took a moment to be grateful for the blessing of living in these United States! And hope you and your pets came thru the fireworks unscathed! 🙂 WE spent several hours out at the barn – all the lights on – all the doors closed (and yes, it WAS 90 when we did it) – with Cady. Who wasn’t having any of it, thank you very much. It was…quite the production to keep her cool – try to get her brain working – and trying to convince her she was listening to thunder (which doesn’t usually scare her). We finally left her around midnight when it seemed that the worst of it was over and she started to nap and eat her hay. Thank you so much, all you firework fools. 😡
My card today was inspired by a card one of my teammates, Judi Hartbarger, sent to me for my birthday! It’s a cool fun fold – don’t really know the name of it so I dubbbed it…the Origami fold. And I decorated it as a birthday card using the Unbounded Love bundle (in the Annual Catalog) and the Golden Greenery bundle and Season of Green & Gold Specialty DSP (both in the Online Exclusives). Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all – happy weekend-eve! Hope you’ve got something fun planned! I’ll be taking part in a fun SU! Demonstrator event called Creativity Now tomorrow afternoon. I’ll get to play with a new Suite of products coming in the Sept – Dec 2024 Mini catalog. So…you’ll get a sneaky peek of that suite sometime real soon!
My card today, though, showcases the gorgeous Unbounded Beauty Suite – with the pretty Unbounded Beauty DSP (featuring the 2024-2026 In Colors!) and the Unbounded Love and Flowers of Beauty Bundles (BOTH of which are ON SALE thru the end of June). AND – it’s a fun fold!! Take a look-see:
Happy Sunday, y’all! It’s…EMBARKATION day. Which is what we “sailors” call – get on the BOAT day! Yes – yes. I know. It’s a SHIP! 🙂 Whatever you want to call it – we’re a-sailing away today!! Whoo-hoo!! Hopefully I can get a few pics right quick – maybe a short video! Fingers crossed!
My card today isn’t even sort of nautical. It’s all flower-dy, thanks to some of the new Unbounded Beauty DSP and the coordinating Unbounded Love and Flowers of Beauty bundles – all in one of the new Suites available to you on 1 May. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all – hope you had a good weekend and that the week ahead looks like it’s going to be a good one! I have a MASSAGE and a HAIR CUT ALL scheduled for this week – BOTH of which I need DESPERATELY so…whoo-hooo!! Wayne is getting his teeth cleaned. His thing this week is not NEARLY as good as mine! 🙂
My card today is bright – and fun – and quick – and easy! That would be the Superfecta if we were at the track! It’s got a returning fave as the STAR – the Stamped With Love stamp set. And then there’s a couple of sneaky peeks from the Unbounded Beauty suite – with the DSP and the Unbounded Love stamp set. Take a look-see:
Happy half-way thru the weekend, y’all! Hope it’s going well so far. We’re just doing the things – the winds been blowing a gale – the typical post-storm-front bluster so a lot of “the things” are inside!
My card today is a Sympathy card – don’t need one right this second but..it feels like it’s just a matter of time, right? And the new Unbounded Love stamp set has so many wonderful sentiments – including the ones I used today! Pair it up with the coordinating Flowers of Beauty stamp set and dies and – the possibilities for wunnermus – and perfect-for-any-occasion – cards are almost endless! Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Friday! Hope you’ve had a great week – and maybe have a little something fun planned for the weekend? I’ve been working on “flipping” my craft room – pulling retiring products off my active shelves and getting ready for the new goodies that are…strewn all over! It’s a hot mess, y’all! Yikes!
But – in the midst of that, I USED some more of those new goodies – okay a LOT of them! – to make todays sneaky peek! It’s the stunning and wunnermus Unbounded Beauty Suite – with the Unbounded Love all-sentiment bundle and coordinating Flowers of Beauty all-image bundle! Plus – there’s the Unbounded Beauty DSP and some In Color dots and ribbon. It’s ALL available on 1 May in the new catalog! Take a look-see:
