Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to post these cute Thanksgiving favors I made for celebrating at my Mom's house tomorrow.  They each hold 2 Hershey Nuggets in them.  This is so versatile, you can just change the paper for any holiday or occasion.  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!

Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone,

    As anyone that has come to any of my classes knows, I am really loving the Crumb Cake color lately.  It just seems to match almost any other color I want to work with.  I used the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder for the first time with this card and absolutely love it!  Hope you enjoy this card too.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: More Merry Messages
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Card Stock:  Early Espresso, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder, Deco Labels Framelits, 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler

Merry

Hi Everyone,

     To be perfectly honest I have a love/hate relationship with the Expressions Thinlets in the Holiday Catalog.  I really love the projects I've made and seen with them, but working with them can be tough.  My thankful thinlet gives me the most trouble, so I turned to the Merry for this card.  Using a layer of wax paper can help get the letters out easier, but I have found I have trouble getting the thinlets to cut all the way through.  Anyway when all is said and done, I am glad I bought them and intend on using them more.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: That's the Ticket
Ink: Crumb Cake
Card Stock:  Very Vanilla, Champagne Glimmer Paper
Accessories: Expressions Thinlets Dies, Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder, Designer Buttons, 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon in Very Vanilla, 5/8" Crochet Trim in Victoria, Ticket Duo Builder Punch

Truly Grateful

Hi Everyone,

After spending the last 2 days working on my Christmas cards, I decided to go back to the Truly Grateful set to make this card.  The ribbon is the 7/8" Cotton Ribbon that is stampable.  I've tried stamping on other ribbons only to have the ink bleed, but with this one I had no problems.

Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Sweater Weather DSP
Accessories: 7/8" Cotton Ribbon, Envelope Punch Board (for the corner rounder)

Thinlets

Hi Everyone,
     Taylor wanted to learn how to use the new Label Card Thinlets, so we decided to make another birthday card and actually ended up using the same color scheme as the card I posted yesterday.  She used the chevron embossing folder on hers, but I decided I liked the argyle one better for this card.

Also, just wanted to let everyone know that the photopolymer set Endless Wishes (item # 133455) is back in stock and you are able to order it again.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: Create a Cupcake
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder
Card Stock: Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer
Accessories: Argyle Embossing Folder, Cupcake Builder Punch, Label Card Thinlets

Create A Cupcake

Hi Everyone,
     Birthday cards are probably my least favorite to make.  I'm not sure why but maybe its because you need so many of them that its hard to come up with new ideas.  Having said that, I really did enjoy making this one.  Hope you like it too!

Stamp Sets: Create a Cupcake, Sassy Salutations, A Fitting Occasion
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder, Black Stazon

Best of November

Happy November Everyone!
   It's November 1st so its time for another Stampin' Up Best of set.  This time the theme is snow, something I can't wait for since winter is my favorite season.  I know  most people don't really like it, but I love a good snowy day!  The new stamp in the set fits in the new fantastic Label Bracket Punch.  Anyway, here is the set, hope you all like it.
