Witches Brew Spells Toil & Trouble

 

I recently had lunch with my good friend and fellow demonstrator Sandy Elliott and we always bring our latest projects for a little "show & tell."  She brought her latest swaps from some of her downline and I must say she has some very talented stampers on her team!  This swap was designed using the Toil & Trouble (131724-wood, 131727-clear) stamp set and the Witches' Brew Designer Series Paper (132185).  I apologize for not getting the name of the demonstrator who made this swap but it certainly is cute and gets one in the mood for Halloween! 

 

The items used on this card can be found in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog and you can visit my Online Store to order and receive the preferred pricing!

For Someone Special: Flower Shop Birthday Card

Today is a very special day -- it is my oldest daughter's birthday.  Not only are we celebrating her birthday, but because the last year and a half was a very tough jouney for her, we are celebrating the next phase of her life.  I wanted to make a very pretty card for her and decided to use the new Stampin' Up!  Flower Shop Bundle (132727-wood, 132726-clear) which includes the Flower Shop stamp set and the Pansy Punch.  It is a special pull out card and on the back I made a little holder to slip in my money gift for her.  I think it turned our really pretty.   If you would like to purchase these items at a 15% discount, visit my  Online Store  to receive the preferred pricing!

Monday's My Favorite Things: New Thinlits Card Dies

I am so excited about today's My Favorite Things  as it is a brand new product called the Thinlits Card Dies.  There are actually two to choose from:  The Circle Thinlits Card Die and the Label Thinlits Card Die.  I just received mine on Friday and I have been having so much fun playing around with them.  I love creating flip cards (also known as swing cards or flip flop cards) but they have always been a bit challenging to create.  Well...not anymore!  Stampin' Up's new Thinlints Card Dies cut and score in just one easy step!
 

These new card dies come with extra pieces that have versatile designs so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards.  The Circle Card Thinlits Dies comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with a total of 9 pieces!  Are you ready to order?  Just visit my Online Store and receive the preferred pricing.  Can't decide which one to purchase?  Why not get both and start creating some fun projects!

The Perfect Blend

Today's card was made by my Stampin' Up!  upline, Susan Smith  of Mooresville.  Susan used the Perfect Blend (130745-wood, 131392-clear) stamp set from the 2013-14 Annual Catalog.  She also showed us some other card swaps she received using this set and now I am going to have to get it because I've fallen in love with it!  After all coffee and friends are the perfect blend, just as the 3-piece Perfect Blend stamp set proclaims!  You can use it for your next java-inspired creation.

Coaster Board Challenge

Recently I was given the challenge to make something using the Stampin' Up!  Coaster Board (129392).  I decided to use the new Circles Collection Framelits Dies (130911) and make a wreath with it.  For the greenery on the wreath, I used the Flower Shop (130939-wood, 130942-clear) stamp set in the Stampin' Up! 2013-14 Annual Catalog.

 

The Coaster Board is thinner than chipboard but is sturdier than cardstock.  It works great for die-cuttng.  The neutral color makes it ideal for embossing and stamping.  You get 8 sheets in a package, measuring 6" x 12" and you can visit my Online Store  to purchase it for the preferred price of only $5.95!
