Mystery Kits and some sneak peeks from the next Spring mini catalog


 Hi everyone! Are you a part of my Facebook Idea Sharing Group?  If not you are missing out on some fun! We have various challenges throughout the month, including a 'Mystery Kit'. This month I sent out 3 different Mystery kits.  Here are the finished cards.  If you received one of these kits, be sure to add a photo of your finished card to the Facebook group.  I can't wait to see what stamps you come up with to use with your kits.  

 

 

 

 

 


 Here is Mystery kit #1.  I used the stamps Campology, Garden Birdhouses and Daffodil Dreams.  

Campology and Garden Birdhouses are both from the Annual Catalog. 

 

 

 

 

 


 Daffodil Dreams is a new stamp set that will be available to customers in January in the new January to June Mini Catalog.  The stamps have a fantastic die collection to go with them. I will be showing the dies and more with this set in late December.



 See how to video of this kit here: 


Here is Mystery Kit #2

I used Beauty of Tomorrow, from the July to December Winter Mini Catalog, Birds and Branches from the Annual Catalog, and Amazing Silhouettes from the new January to June Spring Mini Catalog.  The Designer Series paper is also from the July to December Winter Mini and will soon Retire.  It is called Blackberry Beauty and is so pretty! There are highlights of gold foil throughout the paper. It was honestly hard to cut it up! 







Amazing Silhouettes is a very pretty stamp set with a unique look in that the image is made up in the negative space that is left uninked.  The set also has a word die set that works with it. This will be out in January so be on the look out! 



See how to video for these cards here:

 



Here is Mystery Kit 3. If you received the pieces for this kit, you may have been wondering about that extra score line on the card front.  It is actually an Easel Card.  Be sure to share a photo of what stamp sets you used to complete your card. 

I used the stamp sets Celebrate with Flowers and In the Moment.









The In the Moment stamp set will be released in the January to June spring mini catalog.  

This set will be great for coloring techniques. Here I used Stampin' Blends but I know I will use this a lot with Watercoloring techniques.

Snowman Shaker Card

 

Doesn't this snowman look like he's having a great time?!  What a perfect image for a shaker card!  I used the Snowman Season stamp set and the So Many Snowflakes dies for my card.





The So Many Snowflakes dies has that fun window cut out with snowy edges that is perfect for a shaker.  I get a lot of use out of these dies each winter.  Perfect for cards, treat packaging and scrapbook pages! 





 

 

 

 

This would make a cute holiday card, but I think it would also be great as a winter birthday! Kids love a shaker card!  The "You Melt My Heart" or "You're So Cool" would pair nicely with the snowmen, and then add the Happy Birthday and it's perfect for a kids Birthday.  












Here is how I decorated the inside.  

The card base is Night Of Navy with some sponging in white along the edges for a frosty look.  

I used Stampin' Blends to color the image. Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Shaded Spruce and Pumpkin Pie for the nose. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See a full how to video for this card on my YouTube Channel.

So Many Snowflakes Candy Bar Wrapper

 


Hi Crafty Friends! This week I was asked to make some party favors for my mom's Condo Association Holiday Party.  They wanted wrapped candy bars and I was given a Royal Blue spring as my color theme and mood.  I decided to make an embellishment cluster with the So Many Snowflakes dies.  I also cut sprigs from the Poinsettia dies.  Both of these dies are part of the Seasonal Sale that is going on now and tomorrow. 

The Seasonal Sale has 10% off all cardstock, 15% off all Stampin' Up! brand Ink Pads and 20% off all the dies in the Annual Catalog. WOW! I grabbed up some of the cardstocks I was running low on, plus some extra Basic White and Very Vanilla.  I also replaced an ink pad I accidentally stepped on, and picked up a couple dies I didn't have (amazingly).




I was super happy when my mom said that she wanted to put the candy bar wrappers together herself, especially when she said she needed 70!! 

I cut and cut and cut, then packaged it all up to hand off to her and the party committee. 

I also made them a video so that they knew how to put them together.





A few short days later she sent me this photo of the completed projects!  I hope they look great on the fancy party tables! If I get a photo of that, I will add it to this post later!

November Seasonal Sale info now posted!

 

For as long as I can remember Stampin' Up! has had a sale mid November and this year is no exception. But, what is different is what is On Sale.  In the past I have seen some overstock items or things like Halloween that just passed.  This Year however the sale is perfect for every crafter for any season!  

Save 10% on cardstock. 15% off Ink Pads.  20% off dies! Start taking a look at your craft stash and see what colors of cardstock you are low on. We could probably all use some Reds and Greens to replenish our inventory after making Holiday projects.  Are there some Ink Pad colors you don't have yet? Now's the time to add some more of Stampin' Up's beautiful colors to your collection.  And don't forget the dies!  There are several dies that I use all the time, such as 'Stitched So Sweetly' or 'Tailor Made Tags'.  There are a LOT of dies that don't need stamps, so now is a great time to add them to your collection. Take a look at Basic Borders, Layering Diorama, Picture This and Give it a Whirl.  There is even one that I don't have (Gasp!) called Stitched Greenery that I have had on my wish list for a while now but never got.  Now's my time to get it!  

Did you know that Demonstrators get to take advantage of their discount as well as any promotional sale prices?  They do! Yippee!  Now is a great time to join.  Get any $125 worth of products for only $75 with the Start with Savings promotion.  Join before the Seasonal Sale and use your discount on any additional products! No further obligations so there is no risk! Watch my join video for more information or contact me and  I can answer any questions you may have. 

I have compiled a list of dies that do not need stamps to use (I did this because sometimes we buy dies that go with stamp sets and forget that there are dies that don't have to have stamp sets and we over look those).  These would be great to get now during the die sale. The prices listed are the regular prices, take 20% off for the sale.
