Bubbly Birthday - Bubble Over

Hello my friends!  I can't believe we are at the end of the month already - it simultaneously feels like 2018 just started and like we're on January 79th - I've got a lot of fun things on the horizon in February so this month has dragged a bit! 

January has been a big month in the Stampin' Up! world - we launched the 2018 Occasions Catalogue, everyone's favourite promotion (Sale-A-Bration!) started, and I've released another Project Pack!  This month has had a lot of focus on the bright, cheery patterns in the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper, a free item with your $60 purchase during Sale-A-Bration, I haven't given much attention to its coordinating stamp set, called Bubble Over!  Bubble Over not only has adorable stamps and sentiments, AND coordinating Framelits to make die-cutting those shapes easy as pie, but those Framelits also cut shapes out of the Designer Series Paper - whichever brilliant mind at Stampin' Up! came up with that idea needs a raise.  A raise AND a medal.  Seriously.  

I love everything about this bundle.  It's adorable, it's fun, it's bright, and the paper is FREE!

Want to get the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper AND a free Project Pack?  Check out the details below - this project pack expires TODAY!

This project pack is exclusively designed for my CrushOnColour customers!  I can't wait to share it with you.  With the purchase of Birthday Wit and other supplies totalling $60, you'll receive the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper FREE - enter the host code M9VZJA6J at check-out and I'll send you the cardstock supplies and detailed instructions to create SIX cards - two each of three designs.

Take Out Card - Fortunate to Know You

Hello friends!  I'm popping in for a better-late-than-never blog post today - my Saturday completely got away from me!  I just got out of the shower and it's almost dinner time - I haven't even really eaten yet!  Yikes!  

Today's card is a fun one from Fortunate To Know You, another gem from the 2018 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue.  I love this fun set with a Chinese food theme!  

This set has some great graphics in it, and all of the sentiments are on fortunes - it's so darling!

A blank card like this one can have any fortune added on the inside - I've left mine blank for now so I can add a sentiment when I need a card - whether it's thank you, friendship, encouragement, or birthday!  

We are coming down to the last few days of January, which means the Birthday Wit Project Pack is coming to an end! 

This project pack is exclusively designed for my CrushOnColour customers!  I can't wait to share it with you.  With the purchase of Birthday Wit and other supplies totalling $60, you'll receive the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper FREE - enter the host code M9VZJA6J at check-out and I'll send you the cardstock supplies and detailed instructions to create SIX cards - two each of three designs.

More Birthday Wit?! Yes Please!

Hello friends!  I'm taking a quick break from sewing up a storm - I'm just wrapping up a large corporate order - and wanted to pop in and write a blog post before the morning gets away from me! 

I'm sure you've noticed lately that I absolutely cannot get enough of Birthday Wit.  This fun, funny, fabulous stamp set was an instant favourite from the Stampin' Up! Occasions 2018 Catalogue and it's been on my desk non-stop since the minute I got my hands on it! 

Today's card is quick and easy - just ink, cardstock, and twine! - with a sweet colour combination of Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, and Sweet Sugarplum.  

Sweet Sugarplum almost NEVER gets used in my craftroom - I'm not a fan of purple! - but when I do use it, I'm always pleasantly surprised - it goes beautifully with so many other colours!

I love Birthday Wit because the stamps are so great that the card doesn't need to be complicated - I keep cranking out more and more cards with it and they're all very simple, but the cute factor is WAY high. 

I want to share Birthday Wit with YOU!  January is coming to an end and we are down to the last few days for the Birthday Wit Project Pack!

This project pack is exclusively designed for my CrushOnColour customers!  I can't wait to share it with you.  With the purchase of Birthday Wit and other supplies totalling $60, you'll receive the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper FREE - enter the host code M9VZJA6J at check-out and I'll send you the cardstock supplies and detailed instructions to create SIX cards - two each of three designs.

Birthday Cat

Hello friends!  I hope you had a lovely weekend. 

I'm kicking off this week's blog posts with an adorable kitty card, made especially for my sister-in-law.

Her birthday was last week, and it was the perfect chance to use my Cat Punch from Stampin' Up! - I purchased it for last halloween but didn't much get around to using it!  My sister-in-law is a huge cat lover and has three of her own, so I wanted to make her a special cat card.  I did a Smoky Slate watercolour wash on some Shimmer Cardstock, and I'm hoping she sees the resemblance with her first kitty, Oswald.  He has the little stripey parts on his head too.  And I clearly have no idea about cat breeds!

I love that the Cat Punch - which was originally coordinated with Spooky Cat and a halloween-themed Designer Series Paper - has extra life in it throughout the rest of the year.  I love getting more bang for my buck out of "seasonal" supplies like this one!  The Cat Punch was carried over, so it's still available, and I've paired it with the really fun Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper to bring a fresh look to it.

In other news, the clock is ticking on the Birthday Wit Project Pack - we're down to the final week!

This project pack is exclusively designed for my CrushOnColour customers!  I can't wait to share it with you.  With the purchase of Birthday Wit and other supplies totalling $60, you'll receive the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper FREE - enter the host code M9VZJA6J at check-out and I'll send you the cardstock supplies and detailed instructions to create SIX cards - two each of three designs.
