Can you CASE it Friday - Lots of Lavender

Friday 29 December 2017

Today I'm sharing a card I CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) using the Lots of Lavender stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue.

I love this stamp set - besides being one of my favourite flowers, it is also so easy to use.  It's a two step stamp set with the outline of the flowers as one stamp and then backgrounds as separate stamps.  It's like being able to watercolour using a stamp set and you don't have to be perfect!

Here's the card I CASE'd from page 8 of the Sale-a-Bration catalogue.

Now, here's my card

It's hard to believe it's over

Tuesday 26 December 2017

It's Boxing Day in Canada and I'm finding it hard to believe that Christmas is over.  It was quiet for my husband and I as we just returned from a wonderful vacation in Mexico.  We came from the hot, sunny weather to snow! Quite a shock.  I hope that you were able to spend time with family and friends during the holidays.

Today I want to share a card with you made using the Sweet Little Something stampset from the new Occasions Catalogue.  I was lucky enough to win this set at the Stampin' Up! OnStage event in November.  I love the Baby Bear stamp set so this one was definitely on my wishlist!



Sneak Peek - Bubble Over

Tuesday 19 December 2017

Today I'm sharing a card that I received at a recent event for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.  This card uses the Bubble Over Stampset and the Bottles and Bubbles Framelit Dies.  I love the bright colours on this card.  The paper that coordinates is a free item with a $60 purchase during Sale-a-bration.

I can see so many uses for this stamps set and framelits - especially for summer!  I'm pretty sure I can make the perfect beer bottle for my husband!



Can You Case it Friday (and a Sneak Peek)!

Friday 15 December 2017

For today's instalment of Can you Case it Friday I'm sharing a sneak peek from the upcoming Occasions catalogue that you will be able to order from starting on January 3, 2018.  This is one of my favourite suites from the new catalogue - Petal Passion.

Here's my card


Another of my favourites carried over

Tuesday 12 December 2017

Today I'm sharing another one of my favourite sets in the Holiday Catalogue that will be carried over and be available after January 3rd - Hearts Come Home stamp set and Hometown Greetings Edgelit Dies.

My God Daughter and her husband just bought a house and I wanted to make a card to send along to her with a house warming gift I made.  This stamp set and edgelits are perfect for this type of card - don't you love sets that are so versatile you can use them for lots of different cards!

Today's card is CASE'd from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue and uses the Painted Harvest stamp set.  I'm so excited that this stamp set is carrying over and will continue to be available.

Here's the card I CASE'd on page 48 of the Holiday Catalogue


And here's my card. I think my card is more "inspired by" than CASE'd, but you can decide for yourself.

Clean and Simple Card Share

Tuesday 5 December 2017

I love the look of clean and simple cards but I struggle to keep my cards clean and simple!  Today's card is a card I made on the weekend - I had intended to add some additional embellishments and stamps, but when I got to this stage, I stopped.  I really like this card!




Can you CASE it Friday - Good Tidings and Year End Sales Event

Friday 1 December 2017

Today I'm sharing a card I CASE'd from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue on page 9 using the Good Tidings stamp set.

I love this stamp set - maybe because it includes two step stamping and I love the depth you can get with multi-step stamping.

Here's my card
