Oh Happy Day - Oh So Eclectic

Hello friends!

I'm busy as a bee in my craft room these days, having just returned from a two-week holiday (and then recovering from jet-lag!)  So glad I have some old creations queued up and on deck for you!  This is one of them, featuring the very first stamp set I received from the current Stampin' Up! annual catalogue - Oh So Eclectic.

This set is just a stunner - such beautiful imagery, and it combines with some of my other favourites so nicely.  I wanted a luxe, rich feeling to this card, so I went with gold glitter (simply added on top of embossing paste - so easy!), some rich Night Of Navy crinkled seam binding ribbon, and that gorgeous jewel-tone Designer Series Paper.  I love these colours together - they're so rich and classy, and a pop of Lemon Lime Twist keeps things fun!  

There's so many little details that it's hard to choose a favourite!

Today is the LAST day of July, which means it's the very last chance to take advantage of my July Ordering Bonus:

A Little Hello - Patterns & Pieces

Hello friends!  Today's post is short and sweet - it's my husband's birthday and we've got a day of fun ahead of us!  

This card is an odd one for me - can you see why?

What do you think of those colours?  Brown, tan, green - no, I'm not sick!  This is SO FAR out of my comfort zone - by which I mean bold and bright! - that I can't even believe I created it!  I wanted something rustic and forest-y to go with that little bear, and now here we are... have I ever used Garden Green before?!  I'm not sure I have!  

This fun little card combines two stamp sets - Pieces & Patterns and Badges & Banners - with the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper - kind of an odd combination, but I think it works!  The combination of Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Garden Green reminds me of a forest ranger's uniform - perfect for a little grizzly.  What do you think?  Are neutrals my new jam?  #icouldnever

The end of July is just around the corner, and that means two things...

We are celebrating Bonus Days in July, and that means free stuff for you!  For every $60 spent in July (before shipping and tax) you'll receive a $6 voucher to spend in August.  Hooray for free stamps!

And since we all love free stuff, I'm sweeting the deal...

July Fancy Friday - Memories & More

Hello my fabulous friends!  We are back today for the July edition of Fancy Friday - I'm hopping with some very Fancy stampin' friends of mine as we share our themed projects with you.  This month's theme is a GREAT one - Memories & More!

Memories & More is a brand new and totally brilliant pocket-scrapbooking system from Stampin' Up!  The "memories" are the pocket scrapbooking, and the "more" is everything else you can do with these fabulous products - they coordinate with so many of Stampin' Up!'s product offerings that you can use them for cards, home decor, party decorations, and more!

I am using the Perfect Days kit - it is hands-down my favourite, with it's bright, bold graphics, fun colours, and the gems... so many gems!  I'm in love with gems these days.

It's the seasons of weddings, so I decided to use this Memories & More kit to whip up a fun and easy wedding card.  The graphic and sentiment cards are from the kit, but look how perfectly they coordinate with Happy Celebrations stamp set and the Eclectic Layers Thinlits dies.  Amazing!

The Memories & More cards are also perfect for adding a sentiment to the inside of a card.

If you're like me... a bigger sentiment means less to write, and that makes you H-A-P-P-Y.

Let's hop on over to my Fancy Friend Cindy Schuster, whom I am SO excited to be hopping with today - she's one of my all-time favourite crafters!

In other Stampin' Up! news, for my fabulous Canadian readers... we are down to the last few days in July, and that means TWO sweet offers are about to expire!

We are celebrating Bonus Days in July, and that means free stuff for you!  For every $60 spent in July (before shipping and tax) you'll receive a $6 voucher to spend in August.  Hooray for free stamps!
