Hi Stampin' Friends! Well, I caved this year and purchased the 12 Days of Creativity Advent Calendar. It arrived today and I had thought about saving it till December but no, I opened it within ten minutes!! Wow! I have no patience! But, I am glad I did because I really love it. The Advent Calendar comes with a full sized stamp set and then 12 products that all coordinate together to form a beautiful suite of products. The products themselves are NOT Christmas themed but rather things you can use all year.
I did an unboxing so if you like spoilers, then click away, but if you want to be surprised, then do not open this video!!Purchase yours below!
Product List
Hi Stampin' Friends! Today I want to share a card that we made at my past Stamp Camp! This is a GORGEOUS new bundle from Stampin' Up! It is the Butterfly Flight bundle. This is meant to use with the new Hot Foil System, but the masks are also sold separately so even if you don't have the hot foil system, you can still use the masks. Below is the same card, one with gold foil and one without. I love them both!
The Butterfly Flight bundle does not include any sentiments and works with any that you have in your collection. My Stamp Camp attendees seem to like Birthday Cards the best, so I brought along the Balloon Festoon stamp set for the Happy Birthday sentiment on the outside and Enjoy your day on the inside.
I really like decorative masks and Stampin' Up! has come out with some really great ones. Be sure to check them all out here. Some have coordinating stamp sets, some hot foil sets. All super fun and easy to use.
Hi Stampin' Friends! Today I want to share a card I made for a swap. I recently traveled to Michigan for a super fun demonstrator event and part of the event was a Shoebox Swap. If you have never heard of a Shoebox Swap, let me tell you what that is. Each person makes a finished card, and then makes up kits with all the pieces needed to recreate the card. We put it all in a shoebox type box with the inks, stamps and everything. Then we pass the boxes around the table so we each get to make one of each others cards. Fun! Here is the card that I brought.
I kept the inside simple with a nice Thank you note. The Designer Papers I used for this card are from the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper collection.

Last week I showed you the fun flowers that were made with the Scalloped Blooms dies and so today I thought I would share two more projects that I made with them.
These two projects were made with the Bloom Boutique Suite of products. This Suite is so pretty with lovely little floral papers and pretty stamps. I made these projects for Stamp Camp last week. At stamp camp we make 4 cards and 1 treat holder. sometimes I create a fun box or bag for the treat holder but it was a busy back to school week and I pressed the easy button and used the Scalloped Window Boxes for the treat holder. These are so nice because they are easy to put together, already scored and ready to go, and they don't need any adhesive! Yay!
The box is food safe, so you can put some homemade treats or chocolates or whatever you like inside. They are also big enough for some non food things. The box features a window and I didn't want to cover that up, so I used the Scalloped Blooms dies to create another window in a piece of Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper. I held onto the cut out piece to use on the card. We also used the Scalloped Blooms dies to create some little flowers and a tag to add to the front. I used Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine cardstock for the flowers and leaves and a touch of gold was added with some gold foil paper on the little flower centers.I added some Crisp Cantaloupe ribbon under the tag and a touch of shimmer with the Crisp Cantaloupe Shimmer Brush to the center of the larger flower. I have a video for this box on my YouTube channel.
I have a video how to for this card on my YouTube Channel as well, with some coloring tips and tricks.
