You Plus Me Catalog Reveal

Here are some of my creations using the fabulous new stamp set, You and Me from the Occasions Catalog.  I made some creations perfect for Valentine's Day, but they could work for an anniversary or a simple I Love You.  

    

I chose the color combo of Calypso Coral, Basic Black and Whisper White because those are featured in the new Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack.  This paper is so lovely!  Here is the first card I made with that You Plus Me Sentiment.  It stamped so perfectly and I was able to punch it out with a coordinating punch.  I finished it off with a little bit of the Chevron Striped Ribbon.        

Here I made a little notecard that would be perfect to tuck into a lunchbox.  Don't forget to stamp the envelope!    

I had to make another Curvy Keepsakes Box! I decided to emboss the sentiment on box and add some cute heart die cuts.    

Thanks for looking!  For more projects using this great stamp set, go to SSInkspiration.   

Wood You Be Mine

Here is a sneak peek at a super cute stamp set that is coming out in the new Occasions catalog called Wood You Be Mine.  The sentiments make it perfect for Valentine's Day but I decided to make it a birthday card using a Happy Birthday Sentiment from another new stamp set called Guy Greetings.  I also used some fabulous new paper from the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack.  My lumberjack is colored in with the Blendabilities and I finished the card off with the some wooden elements.

Perpetual Calendar

Today I thought I would share a great new kit that will be available to purchase in the new Occasions Catalog; a Perpetual Calendar.  The kit comes with a box to store it, 12 sheets to record birthdays and tons of great embellishments.  You have to purchase the stamp set separately, but it is fantastic with these great little clusters of images that I am sure I will use for lots of other projects.        

I didn't use all of the embellishments because I was so excited to share this product.  It would make a great gift for anyone!  Thanks for looking.  For more calendar ideas, go to SSInkspiration.  

Happy New Year; New Creations, a New Catalog and Sale-A-Bration

For Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration, we are doing a countdown to the release of the Occasions Catalog as well as the beginning of Sale-A-Bration!  Today we are spotlighting the Best Day Ever Stamp set, one you can earn for free with a purchase of $50.  Here are some of my projects:

These are the gifts I am giving my attendees to my Open House (if you are local and are interested, e-mail me for more info).  The fabulous Curvy Keepsakes Die will be carrying over to the Occasions Catalog along with the Notetag Punch.  The "You Made My Day" sentiment and the heart both come from the Best Day Ever Stamp set.  Don't you love that DSP?  Its also from Sale-A-Bration, called Best Year Ever!  Here is a close up:

Of course there is a "Best Day Ever" sentiment, here it is with some cute dots to make an awesome background.  

Another peek at the Best Year Ever DSP along with that cute stamp!

These little flowers were so easy to make with the Photopolymer version of the Best Day Ever stamp set.  Wood and Clear mount are also available, free with any $50 purchase!    

This final card was a labor of love to say the least.  The bottom part is hand stamped.  I stamped each triangle, and then flipped it before re-inking to get a lighter shade of the color.  I chose Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Baked Brown Sugar since we only have a few more months of those In Colors.   

Thank you so much for checking out my creations.

This is ME!

Happy New Year!  I am thrilled to announce that I am now a design team member of Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration.  So from here on out you will see my contributions to that fantastic blog as well as challenge entries to other blogs.  I will be posting every Monday, for what I will be calling Must Have Monday featuring my favorite new product.  I will also be posting every Thursday for my own version of Throw Back Thursdays featuring retired Stampin' Up! products.  Be on the lookout for me to share other creations and specials as well.

I thought I would take this opportunity to show off my absolute FAVORITE product, Blendabilities!  If you haven't tried them yet, you can earn a pack of three for FREE with Sale-A-Bration this year.  Here are just some of my creations with these fabulous markers.  First up we have some basic coloring on the Notecards.  I actually colored 20 of these (four of each type) and gave them as a gift to my grandmother.    

 

For this card I did some fun shading and layered the flower by cutting up the petals.  

For the next card, I embossed some vellum and colored on the back with the Blendabilities.  

Here is the This and That Documented Journal where I colored the rhinestones with the Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities marker.

And finally here I used the Calypso Coral Blendabilities to color the Irresistibly Yours DSP  to create an ombre effect.  I also used the Butterfly Basics bundle which will be a favorite of mine this spring!

Thanks so much for looking!  Come meet the other design team members at SSInkspiration.
