Edens Garden Birthday Card

I used the Edens Garden stamp set and coordinating dies for this card. It was created for my moms birthday. I chose some fun colors and also used the new gingham embossing folder for the background. It turned out just like I had hoped!

Seasons of Fun from Stampin' UP!

The Seasons of Fun stamp set from Stampin' UP! was used for this fun fall card. I used the Beautiful Leaves die for the bumblebee leaves behind the image. They were sponged lightly with real red. I also used the timber embossing folder from Stampin' UP! for the layer those are mounted on. I love how it turned out.

Blessings of Home 3x3 acetate set

I used the Heart & Home suite for these little cuties. The Blessings of Home stamp set is great and the Flowers of Home dies are wonderful! So full of floofy sprigs!! I created a variety of cards using watercoloring, paper strips, dies and more. The cute box ties them all together with envelopes for a nice gift.

Blessings of Home w/ bleaching technique

This card uses the bleaching technique. The beautiful bunch of flowers from this new Stampin' UP! set is perfect for it. I heat embossed the flowers and then just filled a water painter with household bleach and started to paint where I wanted to lift the color! It is pretty simple. You'll have to give it a try. The set will be available on Jan 4, 2022 when the new mini catalog goes live. If you haven't seen the new catalog yet be sure and look for the link to go live on my blog any day now!

Ferrero Rocher box

I created this little box from a German gals video. I don't speak German so I just had to watch where she put the paper and look for inches and then trial and error to get it all the right sizes. Boy was that fun, I must say!! Is there a translation button on YouTube? lol You can get my tutuorial from my newsletter. The sign up for that is on my GreenThumbStampers.com page.

Free Shipping Day!

Gosh, the day is almost gone and I almost forgot to order on the free shipping day!  I did get it finalized and now I can move on to whatever else is left on my list of things to do!  I had to take the car in for a fuel level indicator recall this morning.  I thought I'd hit the ground running and get a lot done while I was there, but surprisingly it went too fast!  I was able to get moving on my newsletter that I started lastnight but I had a tutorial to do and forgot to take some step by step photos that would help out.  Oh well, I did other things and got home in a jiffy.  Mike and I then ran some errands so the day ended up to be a bust pretty much and now I'm cranking out some tasks.  This was not one of them, but it has been awhile since I posted on here, other than my project photos.  I like that TAMS loads my projects to my blog but I need to be better about chatting a little too.

I ordered from the new mini catalog today with the free shipping.  I didn't go too crazy because I'll need sales in the new year to help meet my minimum!  If I buy now I won't have anything to get when I need the sale!  LOL...such a problem to have right?  I am excited for the set with the rainboots.  I just know there are going to be a ton of cool designs on Pinterest with it!  I also ordered a dahlia bundle, I just loved the dies.  Maybe I'll do a box opening video when I get it so you can see the cool stuff coming out.  You should be getting your mini catalogs soon too.  If you don't have a demonstrator to send you one, just let me know.  As long as you are in the US I can help you out!  There is something for everyone in this new catalog AND sale a bration will be starting in January too!  There are some great freebies in this offering for sure!

Well, off I go to check on dinner.  I hope you are cranking out those Christmas cards.  If you need time for yourself to get those done or catch up on your Paper Pumpkin kits, I am having a play day on the 18th!  Just RSVP by the 15th and I'll reach out when I know who's coming for setting details.  I'm thinking like 8am - 8 pm drop in whenever and work on whatever!!!  I am really looking forward to it!  

Take care!
