Happy Hibiscus - Craft 'n Chat

 Welcome back Stampers! 

As promised, today's blog post is all about the cards from my recent Happy Hibiscus class. I love how all three of these cards turned out. 

This card uses the following supplies: Melon mambo, flirty flamingo, old olive, and black inks, sentimental framing dies, wink & stella, and of course, the happy hibiscus bundle

--------------

These last two cards also feature Rub Ons, which are such an easy way to elevate your card and add an extra element without much effort. 

This one features: Petal pink, calypso coral, soft sea foam and cloud cover inks and papers, and uses metallic rub ons, blending brush, daubers, and thread.

--------------

This card uses: petal pink ink, white ink, white embossing powder, basic beige paper, soft sea foam paper, black paper, gold thread, metallic rub ons, a dauber, and of course the happy hibiscus bundle.

I live in Airdrie, Canada with my husband and dog named Harley, and I'm a mom to two grown children, Alexis and Brandon. 

On my blog I'll be posting pictures of projects I make for classes or just for fun!

The new Annual Catalog released this week and I'm excited to share it with you all. Even Harley is getting in on the fun. 

Go away Mom, I'm reading!

My catalog!! 

ICYMI - I went live on Facebook to do an in-depth look at the catalog, which you can check out here: https://fb.watch/rTsoOKjrro/ 

You will notice a lot of changes to this catalog and I encourage you to share your feedback (positive and constructive) with Stampin' Up as they try something new.

That's all for today! I hope you all have a great week and I'll be back next week with a new blog post. 

Money Holder

Hi Bloggers! How's the week going? Well, it was definitely Monday yesterday...and that's all I'm going to say about that...LOL

Elections today in the US. I know who I hope wins, not that I know a lot about American politics, but I still have an opinion. I would like to have a more informed opinion frankly so I can debate the merits of each candidate with others, but I have so much going on in my life that doing research on American election issues really doesn't rate that high at the moment. The one thing that I do believe is that no matter where you live, you need to exercise your right to vote because no everyone has that right. 

Today's card is something that I will be doing for the Jingle Bell Card Creations class that I have coming up on Thursday night. It is a Money Holder card. Now I didn't come up with the concept but I thought it was pretty darn cute. 

And there are only 2 spots left in Thursday's class if you would like to join us!

Terryfic Tips:

• Generally when adhering a transparency try to hide the adhesive behind another element so it is not noticeable.

Christmas Wishes

Hey Bloggers! I hope that you all had a wonderful Halloween and enjoyed the trick or treaters that came to your door. 

Today I was collecting the money at work for our Lotto ticket pool. This week's jackpot is $50 million. And of course it got me to thinking, "what would I do with $50 million". There is so much that I could think of, and so many people that I want to help. Are you a person that thinks about what you would do if you won the lottery? Other than the obvious, what would you do? I would love to hear your comments. 

Today's card is A Very Merry Christmas, and it was actually a CASE'd card with some changes. 

Terryfic Tips:

• Ink the edges of elements on your project to create dimension.
• Add different textures to your project to create interest and depth. Tearing, layering, embossing, satin, crochet, patterns.

A Masculine Birthday

Hey Bloggers! Happy Halloween!

It's mid way through the week and I am very much looking forward to the weekend. 

Today my daughter took a trip to the University of Alberta for a tour. Now she won't be attending for another year and a half but she is planning ahead. And she had a great time, and got a lot of information. It's so hard to believe that she is growing up so quickly. 

Today's card is a masculine birthday card using the Open Sea stamp set. I started with a vision of what I wanted to create, and a plan to CASE a particular card with some changes to make it my own. And it didn't turn out anything like the original card. too funny!

I made the card for the Playing in Paradise challenge #90. Challenges are a great way to get some creativity going so I hope that you can all find your creativity too!

Terryfic Tips:

• Ink the edges of elements on your project to create dimension.
• Curl the edges of the flowers and ink them also to create dimension.

Stamp Sets:   The Open Sea (Wood-Mount 123030 Clear-Mount 123032)
Paper:  Whisper White (100730), Soft Suede (115318)
Ink:  Soft Suede (126978), Not Quite Navy (126971)
Cool Tools:   Paper Snips (103579), Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003), 
2 1/2" Circle Punch (120906)
The Perfect Touch:  Metallic Brads (119741), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), 
7/8" Cotton Ribbon (127844)

Christmas in July Day 2

Today is Tuesday and it's Day 2 of my Christmas in July sneak peeks from the new Stampin' Up Holiday Catalogue. 

Holiday Catalogue Preview Info 

So in this section I want to tell you what you can look forward to in the new Holiday Catalogue.

Scalloped Tulle Ribbon! Stampin' Up is now offering Scalloped Tulle Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. This Tulle Ribbon is so much fun to play with. Watch my blog for samples using this creative new product coming soon!

Today's card features the Ornament Keepsake stamp set as well as the Holiday Ornaments Framelit dies that go with it.

Christmas in July Day 1

Happy Monday y'all! Okay well I guess the Calgary Stampede is over so we should get back to talking normally around here, LOL. 

I am very excited to say that I received my pre-order from the Holiday Catalogue last week. And I can't wait to share my new goodies with you! So this week is going to be a tribute to Christmas in July. 

Holiday Catalogue Preview Info 

So in this section I want to tell you what you can look forward to in the new Holiday Catalogue.

One of the things that I am very excited about in the new Holiday Catalogue is the Big Shot dies that match the stamp sets. There are several of these stamps sets that are offered. And even better news is that if you are planning to purchase one of these stamp sets and the matching dies, you can purchase them in a bundle for increased value and savings! So be sure to watch for bundles when you are looking through your new catalogue.

So, today's card features one of the stamp sets that I mentioned above but today I am not using the dies that go with it. I will be featuring the dies in tomorrow's card. 

The stamp set in today's card is called Ornament Keepsakes.

Quick Friday Post

Hi all! Finally cooling down a little today...a mere 25 degrees! LOL

So just a quick post today so I can hopefully get some creating done. And don't forget Week 2 of Summer of Techniques is July 17, 18 & 19 from 7-9pm. We are doing Punch Art for Week 2. I hope you will join me. Email me to RSVP which night you will be attending.

Here's today's card....

Best Wishes Embossed

Hi all! I think I may be dying from the heat! LOL It was 31 degrees today and I admit that I am not a big fan when it gets that hot. But I am grateful for the sunshine, don't get me wrong.

So today's card is an embossed technique card, that can be used as a wedding card or a birthday card. 

I hope that you like it!
