Sneak Peek!!

If you follow me on either Facebook or Instagram (maybe both?), last week I took a picture of a snippet of a BRAND NEW DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.

Today's card features another peek at it - YAY!! To see some of the rest of it, keep checking back and to see the FULL reveal, be sure to RSVP for my Open House on June 10th!

Our challenge this week at the Paper Craft Crew was to use three of the four colours here:

I chose Pale Yellow (ish), Coral and Deep Blue. And this is what I came up with:

The colours in the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper were perfect for the challenge and I couldn't have been more thrilled. I think it's going to be my new favourite paper! I got some after our OnStage event at the beginning of April and I just ordered another pack yesterday with my pre-order.

I started off with floral DSP and used it to create an ATC (the Daffodil Delight cardstock is 2 ½" x 3 ½"). To the ATC, I added the Daisy hanging off the edge and the sentiment from the Daisy Delight Stamp Set.

Check this part out:

The Faceted Gems that will be available to order on June 1st are so much fun! You'll get three different sizes on each colour sheet (there's a silver/clear version too!).

And here's the inside:

I added a single stem with some buds on it (also part of the stamp set - two step stamping) and some Night of Navy doodles around the edge.

What do you think?

STAMPS: Daisy Delight
INK: Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy
PAPERS: Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Night of Navy Cardstock; Delightful Daisy DSP
ACCESSORIES: Faceted Gems, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Marker

Happy Stampin'!

August Workshop Card Sneak Peek!

Hi friends! It feels like FOREVER since I created something - YIKES!!!

Today, I have a sneak peek share for just one of the cards we'll be creating at my August workshops. I have two workshops booked already and my weekends are already FULL (both with workshops and other activities)! However, if you'd like to book an evening workshop, I'll be happy to talk with you!

Take a look at this:

Isn't that the CUTEST thing you've EVER seen? One of my favourite sets in the new Idea Book and Catalogue is the Pennant Parade Set.  Stampin' UP! has paired it with the Petite Pennant Parade Punch and there's even a BIGZ XL die with a big pennant on it. Can you imagine the possibilities??

The long weekend is coming up here in Canada and I hope you have some fun things planned!! And I hope those fun things involve some STAMPING!!!

Happy Stampin'

New Promotion - Coming August 1st!

It's MDS Monday today but I have a busy day planned and since I was out of town for the weekend, I didn't get a chance to create.  I was having a SLEEPOVER downline meeting!  How AWESOME is that???

Anyway, I probably won't get a chance to MDS, but I DID want to take a quick minute to let you know that there is an AWESOME promotion coming in August that you won't want to miss!!!

Keep watching my blog posts...and if you're NOT a subscriber or follower, you should go ahead and do that now so you don't miss out!

Take a look at these images and see if you can guess what the promotion MIGHT be and leave me a comment with your guess!

Happy Stampin'!

Sunny Sunday Sketch - Week 23 - REVEAL!

Yes, I KNOW I haven't been consistent with my sketches, but I'm still going to keep them in numerical order rather than trying to figure which week is which.  So...we'll call them "sketch weeks" instead of actual weeks - LOL!  And...in two "SKETCH WEEKS" I'll have some blog candy, since it'll be "Sketch Week" 25.  Sound good?

So, yesterday I gave you a sneak peek of some new papers and a new stamp set that will be released in the new Idea Book and Catalog.  I've only had to papers and stamp set for a few days and I can tell you that I LOVE IT!  I'm sure you will too!

Here's the front of my card:

Isn't this paper GORGEOUS?  And that's only ONE of the TWELVE patterns that are in the pack!  You get 12 pages of Designer Series Paper, 2 each of six designs and it's all double sided.  Trust me when I tell you that you're going to want more than one pack of this paper! I ordered three packs with my pre-order and I can't WAIT till April 1st so I can get MORE!

Want to get it during the pre-order?  No problem!  All you have to do is sign up to become a demonstrator. It's just one of the many perks you get by joining my team.  You'll also get the starter kit at 15% off, so you'll pay only $182.75 instead of $215.  As another added bonus, during Sale-A-Bration, you also get a product bonus of $60 including the Colour Coach! This really IS the BEST time to become a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator!  And there's no pressure to buy anything ever again!  If you just want the kit, GREAT!  You'll still maintain active status till the end of June and still be able to receive at least 20% off every single order. If you place a $200 order in the first 60 days, you'll get 30% off that order.  You just can't lose!

If you need even MORE incentive, you'll be able to get first crack at all the retiring stamps/accessories when Stampin' UP! announces the retired list around the middle of May.

I stamped the Four Frames onto my Whisper White Cardstock and then chose one of the sentiments from Silhouette Sentiments (a Level 1 Hostess Set) to stamp inside the frame.  This set is perfect if you just want a little something in the way of a sentiment.

To finish off today's post, I'll show you the inside of my card:

It's simple and elegant and adds just the right touch.  I like finishing the inside of my cards with just a snippet of something from the front. I think it makes it looked more "polished".

What do you think?

STAMPS: Four Frames, Silhouette Sentiments (Level 1 Hostess Set)
INK: Not Quite Navy, Versamark
PAPERS: Whisper White and Baja Breeze Cardstock; Paisley Prints DSP
ACCESSORIES: Punches, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Stampin'!
