Customer Apprecition Class

Last weekend I held my annual Customer Appreciation Class. This is a class I do every December. It's a free class for all of my customers.  These are the two cards that everyone made.  I love the colors on this first one. We used Painted Harvest and paired it up with Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose, Soft Sea Foam and Shaded Spruce.  LOVE!!!!

The second card is super cute and great for all those birthday cards you're going to mail next year!  We used the Broadway Birthday set and paired it up with the Good Morning Magnolia DSP.  So pretty!!!

Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!

December Online Class-Video

I'm back!  I feel like it's been weeks since I've blogged and in some ways it has been weeks!  December has got to be one of the busiest months there is right?  I know we've been going non stop and even getting sick over the weekend didn't slow me down (probably why it's taking so long to get better right!) I plan on taking some time off over Christmas break so my posts through January 6th will be hit or miss.  I do have some things I want to share but it will be more of a random schedule instead of a Monday-Friday schedule.

These three cards that I'm sharing today are so cute!  They all feature the Hoot Hoot Hooray Stamp set.  If you think you've missed this in the Annual Catalog you haven't it's not in the Annual Catalog, it's in our Beginner Brochure and the Online Store.  Either way you can still get it!  When you place an order in my online store now-December 27 you'll receive the make and takes for these three cards free!  A gift from me!

To get the free make and takes you MUST use this Host Code 66EPYCHN.  The only exception is if your order is over $150, in that case you'll get Stampin' Rewards and the free make and takes!

I colored all my images in the Hoot Hoot Hooray stamp set with Stampin' Blends and used the Neutrals DSP stack for my DSP. You can check out all the details on this card in my video.  I won't be doing weekly Facebook Lives over the next few weeks but join my VIP group I may hop on live there once or twice.  Supplies for the card in the video are listed below, you can shop directly in my Online Store.

Christmas Countdown

Yesterday I shared with you the amazing Disney themed calendar I made with our Christmas Countdown kit.  Today I have the Christmas version! I used the opposite side of the Disney boxes so it's the same kit!  Two occasions one kit!  I made all my boxes using the supplies in the kit.  I didn't add any extra stamps, ink or accessories.  I love it!!!  Get you Christmas Countdown kit here!  Countdown to your own special occasion!

Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!

Disney Countdown

Full disclaimer before we even get into this post.  I've debated sharing this or not because the hard truth is I don't have a list of supplies, I know people will ask.  I simply didn't make notes of any of that.  Lots of the punches I used are retired, so it wouldn't help anyway.  I will give basic instruction of what I did but this project was made as a gift for my family and it never occurred to me to create a tutorial or jot down supplies.  My apologies.  I did decided to finally share it because I love it and I want it on my blog so that in a few years I can still look back on it and say, wow that was a great project.  Now that that's all out of the way let's get down to the project itself.  I used the Christmas Countdown Project Kit from the Holiday Catalog to create a Disney countdown.  The plan for this was going to first reveal the trip to the kids, then second act as a countdown until we left.  Our last box was the day before we left, at 5:40am! I will list all the characters below on the bottom of the post in case you need help figuring some out.

Inside each box was a picture of something we'd need or do for/on our trip.  The first 5 or 6 boxes were not Disney specific.  One was an airplane another fireworks, etc.  After that the boxes were completely Disney or Walt Disney World related, pictures of Thunder Mountain, the Monorail, Spaceship Earth from EPCOT, etc.  I wanted the kids to spend some time guessing what it was before it was obvious.  I anticipated they'd know if 2-4 days, and they pretty much did....but they didn't reveal it to myself or my husband.  Partly because I think they wanted to be 100% sure that if they asked "are we going to WDW" they wanted to the answer to be yes.  There were all kinds of random places thrown out before they got to WDW but they were on the right track and they loved opening the boxes every morning even after they knew the destination.

You may think that because this was Disney themed that would have been a dead giveaway.  We're a Disney celebrating family.  My husband and I met at Disney World while we were both on internships there.  We have lots of Disney stuff all throughout our house so the fact that it was Disney on the outside doesn't mean anything in our house.  To make the whole thing, I created a list of 25 characters our family loves.  Once I had my list I worked on one character at a time.  I made the base of each character 1 7/8" square to fit on the boxes.  Then I just grabbed punches and started working.  Some is hand cut, lots of it is with punches though.  Once I had each character made I punched a half circle with the 1" Circle Punch from the top center of each one to fit on the box.  When all the characters were done I adhered them all to the box.  When we got home from our trip I made the Christmas side of the box on the opposite side so we'll still use this as a Christmas Countdown too.

Characters:
1st Row
Mickey, Chip, Elsa, Genie, Ariel
2nd Row
Eeyore, Jasmine, Fear, Anna, Peter Pan
3rd Row
Buzz Lightyear, Tinkerbell, Mater, Pluto, Sadness
4th Row
Simba, Dory, Belle, Dale, Mike Wazowski
5th Row
Cinderella, Cruella de Ville, Bashful, Winnie the Pooh and Minnie Mouse

Beautiful Friendship Card-VIDEO

I have a gorgeous card for you today.  I made this card yesterday in my Facebook Live.  The Beautiful Friendship set is probably one of my all time favorite sets.  I love that you can layer up the images and create beautiful projects.  I don't think I've ever made a bad card with this set.

I embossed the greeting with some Black Shimmer Embossing Powder on Vellum.  I love embossing on Vellum.  The background is stamped with the Birch Background set and finished the card with a bow using the Tricolored ribbon.  For all the details on this card check out my video.  Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you never miss a video.

Pressed Petals Birthday

Our Designer Series Paper is so amazing!  I love how stunning and gorgeous it is!  I only added some extra cardstock and a greeting to this card.  The DSP is doing all the hard work for me here.  If you're a paper hoarder, get that DSP and start cutting and using it!  Share it with your family and friends!  I finished off this card with a Linen Thread bow and some Holiday Rhinestones in the Night of Navy.  I love this card!!!

Seaside Notions Seahorse

I'm on a mission to get lots of birthday cards stamped and ready to go.  I'm planning on being on top of my birthday card mailing next year.  I don't know about you but I struggle with getting cards in the mail.  Normally I'm good about getting thank you cards out but birthday cards is my downfall.  My plan is to begin the new year with a stash of tons of cards ready to go!

This fun card was a great card to stock up on.  BUT it was a lot of fussy cutting!  Fussy cutting that seahorse was something else.  I think I made 10 or 12 of these, by the time I was done cutting the seahorse I was relieved.  But I think in the end it's worth it, maybe just not in bulk.  I used Stampin' Blends to color the sea weed or coral, whatever it is, which gives lots of great shading and dimension. Finish with some Wink of Stella and Rhinestones for sparkle!  What a fun bright card!

Thanks for looking see you soon!
