Final Fall Card

I figured there was still time left for one more fall card. Even though we are in the midst of what could be a whopper of a snowfall! The wind is just a whippin' out there, but I'm down in my craft space all cozy and not paying attention to the world around me. So much so that last I knew it was noon and Mike just asked if I was going to eat dinner before my video!! My how time flies when you are having fun....or in deep thought. I have managed to accomplish a few things but still a lot to do before the big video day tomorrow. I may be cutting cards right before each video...lol. Anyway, this is the card I created on my weekly live. You can see the video on YouTube, here.

November Christmas Card Live

Hi again!! Tonight was my monthly Christmas card live, did you see it? If you didn't you can watch it on YouTube, here. I really like this card that I created. It has such a nice blend of colors and that designer series paper is beautiful. The fussy cutting of the flowers is the most time consuming part of this card, but you can always use a different flower or die cut to speed it up.

October Quilt Blocks

I just realized I didn't show you my October quilt blocks from the monthly kit I get from the Chirpy Cardmaker, Julie Heitz. They might now be my favorites! She does such a wonderful job of creating these blocks each month. Such talent to convert a block designed for sewing, into a paper creation.

November Card Class

I had two sessions of my November card class on Sunday. What a fun time it was. We had some new folks come as well as Mom and Kristie from 3hrs away and Patty came too. She is about 50 minutes. It was great to have everyone and class seemed to fly by both sessions.

We used the Peaceful Garden suite and all the cards used different stamps so that was a little challenging for me to create. I did end up pulling in a Happy Birthday from another set, but for the most part it all came together nicely. There are so many sentiments in that set so I did also use the Peaceful Days coordinating set for a few extras. The happy birthday sentiment came for With You In Mind set.

Thanks to everyone who came to class and made my day so enjoyable. It makes it all worth it when I see everyone having fun and making the cards their own. The cards I designed are below.

Paper Pumpkin Gurus Alternates for Oct 25

I joined a group called Paper Pumpkin Gurus. There are currently 12 people in the group and we each design an alternate for the Paper Pumpkin kit of the month. They all get compiled into a document that we can sell to our customers for $10. If this is something you'd be interested in please reach out. You can email me here.
Would you like to know how to get it for free? Of course you would!! We all love free instructions!! If you'd like to get this document for free you can do one of two things, 1) become a Paper Pumpkin subscriber with me as your demo * 2) join my team!!

* if you don't know who the demonstrator is that gets the credit for your kit, you can see that on your online account or call SU directly and ask. That number is 1 800-782-6787 (1800 STAMP UP). They will tell you who the person is and if they say it's Stampin' UP! you can have it changed to an actual person. Preferrably me of course...lol, or your preferred demonstrator would appreciate the sales too. Below is a sneak peek of the documents contents.

Break the monotony with this fun idea

Do you struggle with making multiples of the same card? Sometimes it gets tedious to keep doing the same thing. Well, this week I'm showing you how to do three different card styles with pretty much the same layout. You can shake it up as much or as little as you want for the papers and embellishments, but one easy cut will change the rest. It adds that little bit of difference between them that will help make it more enjoyable to create a stack of cards. You can see the video on YouTube. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel, like me on FB and join my newsletter. You can join right here from this site, easy peasy. Below are the cards I made in the video.

Product List

Standard card bases either 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" or 4 1/4 x 11" depending which one you are making

DSP is 3 x 5 1/4" and 1 1/4 x 5 1/4"

one design you need an extra strip of DSP at 1 x 5 1/4"

you can also cut to the 1/8" if you like the smaller border. I did both here.

Accordian Fun Fold

WOW! I got sidetracked with my craft show this weekend that I forgot to get my video posted. It is out on YouTube now, if you want to see it. You can click here to go right to it. I found this fun fold online in a creation by Debbie Mageed. I thought it would be a great use of some designer series paper, I think we all have some of that to use up. It's really simple and straight forward. The front embellishing is the hardest part. Have a great weekend and wish me luck at the craft fair. I'm mainly on a discovery mission.....hoping people discover me!! I'd love to find more people to stamp with, some potential customers would even be great. Hoping mostly to expand my stamping circle, but a few sales would be great too. I have a lot of kits and miscellaneous items to sell as well.

Push n Pull interactive card this week...

If you watch the video you'll hear the story behind the interactive card I chose for tonight. It all started in a conversation with my RCD (Resident Creative Director, or my husband Mike) and I chatting about my card for my weekly live while we were on our walk. So, from that came this. It is a fun interactive card that is pretty simple to make. There are so many possibilities for this style of card, occasions galore! I think you could even make a gift card work on one of the sliders. I'd have to give it a try to know for sure, but it sure seems like it would work. Maybe a slimline card would be more in order for it, but it would still work. HOW FUN!! You can see the video on YouTube, here.
