No Market for me 12/5.......

🎄I am so sorry but I will NOT be at Independence Uptown Market on 12/5.   Lots of customers picked up my business card last weekend at Mistletoe Madness  in Lee’s Summit so I hope they check my blog before they trek to Independence!   

I took a tumble in my garage Monday afternoon and broke my left hand and right kneecap!  So market is not an option anytime soon.  Maybe this is my sign?  We will see in 8-12 weeks and regroup. 

To my regular customers and friends if you need anything I have made I can do porch pickup?  Maybe?  Next week?  Text me and we can discuss or comment here or Facebook and we can make a plan.                     

I so appreciate your Friendship and Support at my events and Independence Uptown Market these past 6 years.    Be safe out there and wear sensible shoes when doing yard work!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          .

Creative Celebrations

 I should always check product availability but alas I did NOT!  I have been crafting NON stop and cracked open the Festive Flecks cards and envelopes.  Peaceful Pine is such a Great new IN color and perfect for the Holidays.  Peaceful Pine card stock should be available 11/9.  I cut each of the 10 card bases in half because I love these little dots and did not want to waste them on the BACK of a card.  Then Cut Peaceful Pine card bases so now I can add Designer paper or emboss.  Today I added paper.

I cut this scene from a sheet of paper and grabbed this Reindeer from the embellishment sheet.  The Trees are from a retired set and were cut from Peaceful Pine.  Super simple card! 

168499 $13.00  Creative Celebrations is unavailable until 11/23.  This paper has some unexpected colors.  I love that SU lists the colors on their Designer paper packs:

Festive Flecks Mix and Match cards and envelopes  168500  $10.00  These are AVAILABLE NOW!!!  

Here is another pattern from the Creative Celebrations paper.  I added Secret Sea as a Layer and stamped the Sentiment in the Wreath,  Popped up this floral spray from the embellishment sheet.  

See these cards and MORE on the racks this weekend at Mistletoe Madness!!  Come shop with me in Lee's Summit!  4 SE Independence Ave.  

Heat Embossing Holiday Cards

 I rarely Heat Emboss these days because it is time consuming and my Versamark ink pads were old!  I'm here to tell you to GET A NEW Versamark stamp pad!  You will not regret the purchase!  No ink stains and lots of STICKY!  Embossing needs the sticky so get a NEW Stamp pad!  102283  $9.50 or Refresh a current pad with a ink Refill  102193  $7.00.

Here are the cards I created:

I used Retired Stamp sets and Sentiments.  These are 2 of my Keeper Stamp sets.  You can Mix and Match these sets for a NEW look!  The Card Bases are from the October Paper Pumpkin kit!  When I saw the Paper Pattern I was reminded of a beautiful Damask fabric.  The Die Cut pieces from the kit have Metallic accents, perfect for an embossed image!  

Basic Beige is a color in the kit so the card bases are Basic Beige,  Images were embossed in GOLD and the Star is Bronze.  Sentiments were stamped in Soft Suede.  

Stampin' Up! has a NEW stamp set very Similar called Rejoice.  Check it out!  168560  $21.00
