Hooray - Confetti Celebrations (and EXCLUSIVE video tutorial!)

Hello my friends!

I've been hinting at this card all month, and today's the day to reveal it! This is one of my most-favourite cards I've made in a long time, and I've been bursting at the seams to share it with you... are you ready?

Check it out!

You know my motto - more is more! - and this card has it in spades! It's home to THREE fabulous techniques, and it's so bright and fun - perfect for a birthday celebration! This one has long since hit the road (it was delivered to a friend of mine for her birthday earlier this month) and I've been hanging onto it for a reason.

With THREE techniques, this card is PERFECT for a video tutorial! And I've got one for you... but it's a little something special for my newsletter subscribers!

You'll receive this video FREE with my next CrushOnColour newsletter, which you can receive by clicking here to subscribe.

This video will be going out on Tuesday, September 25th, and I know you won't want to miss it! This is your LAST CHANCE to subscribe before it comes out, so don't leave it for later... I'd hate it if you forgot!

I am SO excited to share this with you - I can't WAIT for Tuesday!

Why, Thank You - Gourd Goodness

Hello friends!

My favourite season has arrived - hoodie weather (but warm enough to still wear sandals!), cozy evenings curled under a quilt, and warm cups of tea have come into style this week as autumn rolled into Calgary. This is, hands down, my favourite time of year.

As overnight frost threatened my garden, it was time to harvest the last of my veggies. My son and I decided to plant pumpkins this year, simply to try something new. We planted Pumpkin On A Stick (which is actually an eggplant...) and it never bloomed. We planted Dill's Atlantic, a variety that "easily" grows 400-500 lbs and "often" up to 1000 lbs... and those are the size of soccer balls and pale yellow. Not much success there! But the third variety we planted, called Wee Bee Little, was pure perfection.

We were able to harvest seven of these perfect little pumpkins, each about the size of a baseball. Some of them are a little tall and skinny, some are short and fat, some are smooth and some are warty. They are beyond cute.

I shared a picture of my good gourds to Facebook because I was so dang proud of them... and as the evening went on, I kept thinking of a stamp set that had been sitting on my shelf for the last few weeks that I hadn't yet touched! It's called Gourd Goodness, and it creates the most perfect photorealistic pumpkins with two stamps and one ink pad. It's pretty darn amazing!

Aren't they charming?! They're so perfect for fall, for harvest season, for halloween. They'd be great for seasonal decor, invitations, or thank-you cards. They're just perfect.

Autumn and pumpkins go perfectly with neutral colours, burlap, wood and lace, and a touch of copper - elements I've brought into this card in spades.

But my favourite part? It's this little touch...

With a few folds and a stapler, the burlap ribbon becomes a ruffle. Isn't it darling?

I love everything about this time of year, and I love everything about this card.

Autumn is my favourite.

Do you love autumn like I do? What's your favourite part? I've created a pinnable image for you to save for later - in case you want to create your own version! - or you can see me whip this card up in no time flat on my Instagram page or Facebook page.

These beautiful supplies are from the lovely 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue, which I can't wait to share with you. It's the time of year where friends gather, and I'd love to teach you and your loved ones how to make beautiful cards like these! Having a private class is simple - you gather your guests and I do the rest. Please contact me if a private party with Stampin' Up! is something you'd like to try!

Unicorn Frappucino (with Video Tutorial!) - Coffee Cafe

Hello friends!

About a week ago, I posted a teaser on my Instagram page as I was whipping up a Unicorn Frappucino - a paper version, of course! - and I'm finally ready to share it! But what's the fun in sharing if you can't make your own?!

Gather your supplies, pin this image, and stay tuned... we're going to create together later today!

Using the Coffee Cafe bundle from Stampin' Up!, this card is pretty simple and the technique doesn't require a lot of supplies - some Glossy White Cardstock, Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Pad, Berry Burst Stampin' Refill, a Stampin' Spritzer, and a Stampin' Sponge - all of which are available from my Online Canadian Stampin' Up! store - and some rubbing alcohol. That's it!

And it's worth the effort, wouldn't you say?! I never did try the infamous Unicorn Frappucino when it was available, but from all accounts it was incredibly sweet... which led me to this great sentiment from Mixed Drinks. Too perfect, right?!

Want to see how this card is made? The original tutorial was live on my Facebook page - if you're not subscribed, you're missing out! I've uploaded it to YouTube, though, so you can catch up.

Are you a fan of video tutorials? I've got a GREAT one coming up, but it's ONLY for my newsletter subscribers! Later this month, my newsletter subscribers will be receiving an exclusive video tutorial to make this gorgeous card that I've previewed below. It has three fantastic (and easy!) techniques to create a major wow-factor! Click the image below to sign up for my newsletter and ensure you don't miss out!

Running low on supplies? Fell in love with another stamp set and need it badly? My Online Canadian Stampin' Up! Store is open 24/7 for your creative needs... and there's a bonus!
