New Catalog

The new Stampin' Up! catalog is here. I'm so excited about the new things. I love so many things about this catalog. My Most favorite thing is that they have gone back to a once per year Idea Book and Catalog. I just didn't have the time to really fall in love with stamps sets when they came out with so many new ones all the time. I absolutely loooooove the new In Colors for 2009-2010. Here's the new colors and the new polka dotted ribbon. I have some so you'll have to come out and see how cute it is in person.










I made this card for my demo swap this month. I used the new level 3 hostess set 'The More the Merrier'. It has several of my favorite things (cupcakes, pumpkins, and snowmen). Colors in the card are: Kraft, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo for cardstock. I also used Chocolate Chip ink and markers. Plus Pink Passion and Orchid Opulence as accents. Just a touch of the Melon Mambo polka dot ribbon for a finishing touch. Do you like the plain or the polka dot background best?

VC_Rocks Blog Hop- Any size card

Image
Thanks for dropping by. I'm the 4th stop in the blog hop for VC Rocks 2012. The theme is Any size card. If my blog is your first stop, you're going to want to go see   Mary Jo Price-Williams' blog   to see the ones before me. You can also go to  VC_ Rocks blog  to get the whole list of participating blogs. As my regulars know, I love 3 x 3 cards. They're my favorite thing to tuck into a pocket, a lunch, into the envelope with the hostess pack, into a customer order, to use as a gift tag, etc. They are super simple to make. All you need is a stamp, ink, and some cardstock. Mostly I use 1 stamp set and a sentiment. I can write a short note on the inside or write it on a post-it so that it can be shared with another person or 2. I chose a new stamp set, Serene Silhouettes (page 75 of the new 2012-2013 catalog), to use on these cards. Stamps: Serene Silhouettes, Tea Shoppe Ink: Gumball Green, Primrose Petals (marker), Basic Black Paper: Daffodil D...

VC_rocks Blog hop- Hostess Gifts and other non-card projects

Image
I'm starting this early as I'll be away from my computer for the weekend. I'm headed out of town to see my friend's son get married. So I'm setting up my part of the blog hop early. However, the rest of the people will have theirs up on Saturday and Sunday. If you started the blog at our main site, you came from  here If you're following along, you came from Barb Furlong's  blog, located here. Hostesses are wonderful. I like to spoil mine. Each one gets a gift that I make for them right at their party. Sometimes I make it in advance so it's ready when I arrive. Here's something I make for a hostess with younger children. The stamp is retired but the kids love this and their moms do as well Here's a tealight holder that I made with the Flower Folds die and the Big Shot. I cut up a disposable foil pan for it. It sure looks better than the pan. Lastly, I like to tuck a card into the bag with her stuff. I really like to make these cu...
