SNEAK PEEK Beautifully Happy

We're getting so close the new catalog launch!  I hope you've enjoyed all the sneak peeks!  This is my final post of 2022!  It's so hard to believe that here we are at the beginning of another year!  Time really does fly by!  This card is so stunning!  This Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration Set is one of the $100 options.  It's a larger set and it offers line images to color in but if you don't want to color it also has images that you can just stamp in to fill the line images, which is what I did.  

The images line up easily but if you have trouble pull out your Stamparatus.  I embossed my background with the Brick and Mortar folder except on the very bottom where my greeting is stamped.  I love the look of the embossing starting right above the greeting.  I have a full supply list below.  Items available now you can shop for in my Online Store.  Sneak peek items will be available on January 5, 2023 or you join my team and get them now!

SNEAK PEEK Rainy Days

I have the cutest card to share today!  I love everything about this card.  From the adorable turtle to the DSP to the raindrop embossed background and the ombre ink blended look. I have LOTS of sneak peeks on this card.  The Playing In The Rain Bundle is probably my favorite, but I'm using the entire Suite of products today!   

My background is embossed with the new Raindrop Folder, I wanted even more definition to my background so I used Balmy Blue Ink and a Blending Brush and gave it a fun ombre look.  For even more I splattered my Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend on it.  The turtle is colored with Stampin' Blends, colors in the supply list below.  I have a full supply list below.  Items available now you can shop for in my Online Store.  Sneak peek items will be available on January 5, 2023 or you join my team and get them now!

SNEAK PEEK Thanks A Bunch Dutch Door Fold-VIDEO

Today I'm sharing the first of three videos, I originally shared this card with my team as one of my demos.  I wanted to share how you can maximize the use of your cardstock and DSP and get two card with prep for one.  When you trim a piece of cardstock for a card and you're only making one card you're missing an opportunity.  One piece of cardstock will make two cards so why not double your progress as long as all the supplies are already out and make two cards instead of one.  This fun Dutch door fold is so cute!  I'm using a new Sale-a-Bration set for this one, this is the Thanks A Bunch Set. I don't think I've ever loved cute carrots more!  

I stamped the solid carrot image first in Mango Melody Ink that I stamped off first.  Then I stamped the detail directly over in the same Mango Melody Ink.  The leaves and sprigs were stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive, the same ink for the greeting.  There are no dies so you will have to fussy cut the carrot only, not the leaves.  It's pretty easy.  

For the card.  You'll start with a full 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Old Olive cardstock.  Score it on the short side at 4 1/4" then turn it and cut it in half at 5 1/2", you now have two card bases.  Line up one card base on the long side on your trimmer at 4 1/4" and cut down to 2 3/4", turn your card base and line it up at 2 3/4" and trim off the rectangle from the front of your card base.  Set aside, we're gonna use it later!  Do the same to the other card base.  Check the video for details on this step. 

Trim the rectangle piece you cut off to measure 3 7/8" x 1 7/8".  Do this for both cards.  Add the Old Olive rectangle to the front of your Dutch door card, then add the DSP, 4" x 2 1/2".  I love the seamless look of this card.   

I have a full supply list below.  Items available now you can shop for in my Online Store.  Sneak peek items will be available on January 5, 2023 or you join my team and get them now!  Check out the video for all the other tips and details.  Subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there so you never miss a video.

Twelve Weeks of Christmas Week 12-Wine Bottle Tag

It's our final week of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas Series!  I can't believe we've made it!  That means Christmas is right around the corner!  One week from today in fact!  Today we're wrapping up the series with a fun bottle tag.  This might be something you need last minute.  Maybe you need a hostess gift or something for a coworker.  Fancy up a bottle of wine with a fun tag.  You can also use the tag for a New Years gift on a bottle of champagne.  My tag is a little extra with a little pocket.  I put a chocolate Santa in there, the Santa is from See's Chocolates.  You can use any fun treat you have, even a gift card.  

  

I have measurements below if you want to make the tag without a pocket.  I used the Christmas Season and Christmas To Remember Sets from the annual catalog for all of my stamping.  I LOVE these two sets and they're amazing classic Christmas images and greetings.  

To make the bottle tag

Basic Gray 5" x 11"

On the long side score at 3", 7 1/2", 8"

On the short side score at 1/2" and 1" each side 

To make the bottle tag without the pocket

We did some simple coloring of the chile with Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends.  In addition to the set there's LOTS more sneak peek items on this card.  The DSP is from a new Sale-a-Bration package, Dandy Designs.  It's my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!  There's also new twine and a new die on this card.  I have a full supply list below.  Items available now you can shop for in my Online Store.  Sneak peek items will be available on January 5, 2023 or you join my team and get them now!
