My New Catalogue

Here is my new catalogue!   The yellow post it’s at the bottom are cards I want to try right away!  The yellow ones at the top are cards I want to try in the future!   The pink little post it notes at the side are things I might like.  If I really want them I put a star on the pink note!  Lots of great things in this catalogue!

Westcoast Challenge

Our present challenge in our Westcoast Creator group is to case a card out of the new catalogue.   Mine is from Page 71 using my Path of Petals stamp set.  I thought it was neat how they stamped behind the main image with stamped off Pool Party!

Dotty over this Technique!

We had our monthly team meeting yesterday and Chandra Junck demonstrated this Pointalsm technique.  You use your Stampin’ Blends - the finer ends world best!  You just keep putting dots of colour down starting with the darkest and working in the light.  The card on the right was one I cased from Chandra.  This technique works perfectly on all these other little pieces!

Stampin’ Up Day of Service

Today our CEO of Stampin’ Up -Sara Douglas - did a Facebook Live with her family and showed us how to take a sheet of DSP and make many cards with their Covid Collection of sentiments in the Sunshine Sayings Digital set available online from Stampin’ Up!  I took one sheet of Saleabration DSP and made these cards with it.

White Embossing

I did my Facebook Live today on embossing with white powder on Crumb Cake cardstock.  I used my Stamparatus and stamped twice with Versemark as it makes the white lines stand out!  I used my Ornate Garden Bundle and my Magnolia set to case these cards by Angela McKay and Su Mohr.

Cute Fancy Fold Card

I learned how to make this fancy fold from Kay Chancelor at Stampartconnection.com.  It is a great fun fold and uses a lot of DSP.  I did a Facebook Live at Shanda’s Stampin Spot  showing how to make this card.  
I used Bird BalladDSP and the Ornate Garden Suite to make these cards.   You need a big image to cut apart to make these folds.

Paper Pumpkin Spring

I opened  my Paper Pumpkin box last night and it screamed “Use the boots in the free stamp set from last month’s kit!” And so I did!!!   This kit has the new In Colours in it and the ink spot is Misty Moonlight which is one of the new colours.

Holy Smokes - a Barbecue Card

If it was me barbecuing there would be smoke for sure!  This set - Outdoor Barbecue- has a in the Mini catalogue but only until the end of June.   I made the card on the right first and then the card on the left today on my Facebook Live.  I added rhinestones and a strip embossed with silver embossing powder to add some bling.

West Coast Creators Blog Hop





My card features the retiring set - Tea Together and the matching dies: Tea Time!  I just loved this set and made many cards with it.  The sentiment included in the set makes it perfect for Mother's Day.    I used Rococco Rose ink and cardstock.   The In Colour 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper is also retiring.   The foil paper is from last year's Sale-a-bration and was the only paper that matched and gave a little bling.  This is an ordinary card but I cut 1 1/4"  off the front just to give it a different look to feature the tea cup and tea pot.
I hope you enjoy all the wonderful cards and products featured in our blog hop!

Simple card challenge

I made this card for a simple stamping challenge!  One flower stamp from my new Ornate Style stamp set!  The sentiment from Peaceful Moments finishes it!   A little colouring with a white watercolour pencil crayon would look awesome too!

This was a set of cards designed by Ronda Wade and sent out by my team leader Angela McKay.  We get these kits once a month.    I look forward to it every month!

I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set for sentiments.  There is a new Digital Downliad available from Stampin’ Up!  All proceeds from sales go  to charities supporting Covid!  I put four of the sentiments beside the ones I used so you could see them.
