Hi Friends!
The Holiday Catalog is almost here (it goes live on Thursday, September 1st)! I know, it’s still August and it seems kinda early to be thinking about the holidays, but they will be here before you know it! Don’t let the cover fool you, there are many more items in the catalog besides Christmas ones. If you’ve ordered from me in the last year, I’ve sent a catalog off to you! You should have received it by now but if not, I’m sure it will be there tomorrow. If you don’t currently have a demonstrator and would like a copy, let me know!
Demonstrators are able to preorder items from the catalog early (isn’t that a perfect reason to become a demo??) and one product that immediately caught my eye were the beautiful Fancy Frost Sequins (Soft Sky, Sweet Sugarplum and white gold). They are sooo pretty!
As I sat down to make a birthday card for a sweet little girl turning ONE, I knew that the sequins would be perfect for a shaker card! This is an item that can be used all year round, not just during the holidays.
I started out embossing a piece of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock with the Confetti embossing folder. As you can see from the photo below, the center area is not embossed. I was able to find the perfect size oval in the Layering Ovals Framelits (this set includes 15 dies) to cut the center out.
I attached a window sheet to the front and used our new Foam Adhesive Strips to create the barrier to hold the sequins. After adding the sequins, I put another window sheet over the top.
It’s hard to tell from my photo, but I cut the number one out with our Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. Very sparkly in person. All of the supplies I used to create my card are listed below. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Friends!
Earlier this week I sent this card to a friend to let her know that I’ll be thinking of her on Monday. Her mom passed away in November and Monday would have been her birthday. It’s always so hard to convey that you care to people who are grieving. My father passed away almost seven years ago (it is shocking to write this and know it has been so long since that awful day). My mom received cards on the first anniversary of his death and it was such a comfort knowing that people remembered and cared enough to send a card.
I wanted my sentiment, You’re in My Thoughts, to be the focal point of the card so I used the stamp set Thoughtful Branches. I was late to the game on purchasing this set. Funny how something doesn’t appeal to you and then you just HAVE to have it. I love sets with beautiful fonts and this one is perfect. If you think you want to add this to your collection, it is only available until August 31st and it has a matching Framelit. You can buy it as a bundle and save 10% or purchase the stamp set or the Framelit separately.
I used Blooms and Bliss paper (new in the Annual Catalog) with Mint Macaron cardstock. Rich Razzleberry gives it a nice pop of color. I punched my flowers out with the Petite Petals punch and used a sponge dauber to add some color around the edges. I wanted a teeny tiny flower in the middle and the Tree Builder punch came to the rescue. I also added some Wink of Stella to add glitter to each Petite Petals flower.

Many thanks to fellow SU! Demonstrator, Dena Rekow, for the inspiration for this card.
Have a terrific day! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Hi Friends!
Today I’d like to share a card with you and let you know about a new stamp set available this month with matching Thinlits!
I’ve been giving myself permission to do lots of experimenting with my craft products without the worry of having a completed project. I love the beautiful backgrounds you can achieve with ink and water and let me tell you, it can be quite addictive. Each piece is definitely one of kind. I can’t tell you how many backgrounds I have sitting on my craft table at the moment just waiting for me to turn them into a card!
I decided to make this card sweet and simple. To achieve the look of the background, I wet my watercolor paper and then dropped color onto it. The water spreads the ink. I embossed my sentiment using one of our new single stamps from the annual catalog – Stylized Birthday.
If you squeeze your Stampin’ Up! ink pad, you’ll find that the ink transfers to the lid. You can pick up the ink with the tip of an Aqua Painter and then start adding color to your wet watercolor paper. While the ink is still on the cover of the ink pad, you may need to add a few drops to mix the ink. As I mentioned above, before you add the color to your paper, wet the entire piece of paper first with a paint brush or Aqua Painter, being careful not to saturate it too much as you’ll have a lot of warping.
I made this panel last week and unfortunately I didn’t write down what colors I used. If I had to make a guess I would say, Pacific Point, Cucumber Crush and Daffodil Delight.
This really is a fun technique! Give it a try!!
Here’s the new stamp bundle I mentioned at the beginning of my post! It is available for purchase but only while supplies last. You can purchase it as a bundle and save 10% or buy the stamp set or Thinlits separately.
As a demonstrator I was given the opportunity to purchase this last month and I didn’t. I’ve seen so many cute cards using the set and I love the font used for the sentiments. So, I placed my order and it arrived yesterday. Can’t wait to create with it!
