Always Be There For You - Holiday 2018

Hello friends, and happy Tuesday!  How was your long weekend?  Are you still sweatin' out the gravy?  We had a lovely "Friendsgiving" yesterday - it was so nice to have a wonderful meal with great friends! 

Today's card has been a long time coming;  the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue has arrived, and this card is a collection of some of my favourite new things from Stampin' Up!  Get ready to swoon!


How many new holiday items can you spot?  My top three are here - and they are... (drumroll please!)  

1.  The GALVANIZED trend!  Stampin' Up! has brought galvanized metal to this season in a big way, with Galvanized Metallic Paper, Galvanized Buttons, and Galvanized Clips.  You'll love this fantastic new embellishment trend!  

2.   Chicken Wire.  Yes, this gorgeous rustic accent is now available to add to your cards and scrapbook pages!  It's a total must-have for the holidays!  It's been so insanely popular that it's temporarily sold out, but don't fret - it'll be back at the end of the month!  

3.   The Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Corrugation isn't just for cardboard boxes anymore - you can get in the groove with grooves in your papercrafting, too!  The Corrugated TIEF adds a deep, rich impression to your cardstock, foil, and Designer Series Paper.  How lovely!  

These new additions (and plenty more!) can all be found in the beautiful 2018 Holiday Catalogue from Stampin' Up!  You're going to love it!  


Need a closer look?  I love the beautiful details in this card.


I'm all about the rustic touches and rich colours - both perfect for fall!

See you again soon - have a fabulous day!

Feathers (and Good Thoughts) - Text Ya Later

Hello friends!  I'm writing this post on Monday night, and it's been a tough day, hasn't it?  I was going to do something bright and fun today, but I changed it.  It just didn't seem fitting. 

I don't really know what to say.  I feel helpless.  Words seem useless.  But I wanted to choose something softer, sweeter, and kinder to share today, because the world could use a little more kindness.    


Sympathy cards are never fun to make, but I hope this one provides some inspiration the next time you need one.  More than that - I hope we start needing them far less often.

In Stampin' Up news - because sometimes it's nice to have a break for reality - October marks the start of some fabulous sales. 


During the first ten days of October, we are marking World Card Making Day with sales on Notecards & Envelopes, select stamp sets, and Fast Fuse adhesive - everything you need to start your holiday cardmaking spree! 

And in addition to that...

XOXO,
Shannon

Designer Tee - Display Stamper Samples

Hello friends!  A little while ago, I was asked to be a display stamper for the Canadian Business Conference, a leadership weekend for Canadian demonstrators in Toronto, Ontario.  Each display stamper was able to choose a Sale-A-Bration set to work with to create a half-dozen samples.  I chose Designer Tee, thinking it would give me some flexibility and a bit of a challenge - and oh, what fun I had making these samples!

Jenn Tinline was kind enough to send me a photo from the conference of my board - so that was super cool to see!



Before my projects boarded their plane, however, I made sure to photograph each of them to share with you.  This little stamp set packs a big punch - and I really loved making these samples and having them shared at the conference!  


"Everything will be OK" - using DSP from the Cupcakes & Carousels stack.


"Don't quit your Day Dream" - using flowers from Jar of Love, and DSP from Falling In Love.


"Happy Birthday" - I think this one is my favourite!  I masked the birthday sentiment to stamp the cakes in the background, then created a fun collage using the sentiment from Designer Tee and embellishments from Cupcakes & Carousels DSP and the coordinating Carousel Birthday stamp set.


"Congratulations" - I swore I was going to make all of my samples without using the coordinating Custom Tee stamp set and frames, but then I had a silly idea for a goofy groom's card.  "I knew you could" just seemed so perfect for a groom who may have had a case of cold feet!  The tuxedo-tee paired so nicely with the Sending Love DSP stack and some fun embellishments.


"I Think I Can" - again, using masking for the trains, and combining stamps from Designer Tee.  My son loves trains, and I had him in mind when I made this card.  Simple colours and a cute repeating pattern.


And lastly, a scrapbook page - the "When in doubt, STAMP" sentiment HAD to be paired with a Stampin' Up! themed photo!  I went digging through my camera roll, trying to find a picture from one from a crafting retreat, and I ended up finding this silly selfie that I sent to my Artisan friends last year when my new catalog arrived.  It was PERFECT for this sentiment, and the In Colours on the catalogue front paired perfectly with the Good Vibes Project Life Card Collection, which made for a great series of embellishments.


A close-up of the embellishments.  So fun!

I absolutely loved making these samples and I'm so grateful to have been asked to create for this event!  I hope this blog post has helped you see Designer Tee in a new light - so versatile and so much fun!

Cheers,
Shannon
