Dino-Rrific Birthday - No Bones About It

Good morning friends!  This week has been crazy and it's flown by in the blink of an eye.  I've done a couple of live video tutorials on my Facebook page this week, and I'm finally sharing the card I made on Monday!  If you want to join me on Facebook for updates, cards, inspiration, and live videos, click HERE to follow CrushOnColour.com on Facebook!

As I mentioned in Monday's video, the beginning of October has a triple-whammy of little boys' birthdays, which means these adorable dinosaurs have been taking up prime real estate on my desk lately.  This stamp set from Stampin' Up! is called No Bones About It.      

I love these adorable images and coordinating sentiments - they're perfect for young and old... although my mom didn't love it when I sent her a dinosaur card with an age-related joke!  Whoops.

 To watch these cards made from start to finish, click the link above to go to my Facebook page - you'll see how it all comes together, quick-and-easy!  These adorable supplies from Stampin' Up! make creating fun cards like these ones a breeze.

Merry & Bright - Festive Phrases

Hello friends!  I've been a busy bee this week, and it's only Tuesday morning!  Yesterday was spent in my craft room, filming and editing videos, designing projects, and getting blog posts ready for this coming week.  I teased this card a bit on yesterday's Facebook Live video - did you see it?  If you're not on the CrushOnColour Facebook Page, you're missing out!  

Yesterday's video featured fun and easy dinosaur cards for kids - those are coming up on the blog this Thursday morning - and I showed a sneak peek of my next Facebook live.  Check it out for yourself!  

This card was so fun to make, and I want to share some of the tricks of the trade with you - in this case, how to make one stamp into a multi-coloured image like this one!

Please join me for a Facebook LIVE presentation on Wednesday, September 27, at 11:00am Mountain Time (10:00am Pacific, 1:00pm Eastern.)  I can't wait to share this fun little technique with you!

September is coming to a close, and per usual, I want to thank YOU, my lovely customers, readers, and friends, for your support of my business.  Check out this month's ordering bonus!

A Note for You - Pick A Pattern

Hello friends!  Today's card is quick and easy - sometimes it's fun to chop up some Designer Series Paper (DSP) and make a little collage - that's exactly what I did here!  

The Pick A Pattern DSP has so many amazing little images in it, but the critters are my favourite.  Don't you love this little bear?  His facial expression kills me dead.  He looks confused or nervous.  It cracks me up!  

A few cut-out trees, and a couple of strips, punches, and stamps, and we're on our way!  So easy to whip up, and super-cute to boot.  My favourite kind of card!

I've been sneak-peeking some of the brand new supplies from the 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue by sneaking them into non-holiday cards... can you spot it?  Yep!  The fantastic Everyday Label Punch is right there behind the bear.  So easy!

Per usual, all of these amazing supplies (and then some!) are available 24/7 in my online Canadian Stampin' Up! Store.  The cold months are coming up, and there's no better time to stay indoors with some brand new craft supplies!

And speaking of brand new...

It's here - the gorgeous 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue!  Want a paper copy of this gorgeous catalogue for your very own?  Just contact me and let me know - I'll pop one in the mail and it will be on its way to your doorstep!  Canadian addresses only, please, and only folks who don't presently have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator!  You're in a for a real treat!

Speaking of a real treat, I have one coming up very soon for my newsletter subscribers!  This fabulous (and FREE!) video tutorial is EXCLUSIVE to my newsletter subscribers this month - you won't want to miss it!  Click the image below to sign up and have this great tutorial delivered straight to your inbox, along with other exciting news from CrushOnColour.com.  This FULL CARD will be available on my blog Saturday morning, and it's your last chance to sign up and receive the tutorial before anyone else!  

And last but not least, since I know you've got a wish list and I want to say thanks for shopping with me...
