Another Valentine......

I am once again trying to use supplies at hand, so I turned over the piece of Fresh Prints Designer Series paper used on the Fox card, added some Retro Fresh Washi tape, embossed with the new Arrrows embossing folder and used my FAVORITE image from Crazy Mixed Up Love in the Big Catalog.  Arrows are really in this year, so I made sure my arrows on the Washi tape were pointing the same direction as the embossing.  Cute, simple card!  Available to make at Stamp a Stack!

Tag Punch Candy Holder

Two of the coolest things in the new Spring Mini are the TAG punches!!  A bit pricey at $22.95 but such a great tool.  I cut a piece of card stock 2 inches X 7 inches.  The paper slides right in the guide on the punch.  Punch each end, score and you have an adorable Treat Holder!  New products used:  Tag punch, Gold Baker's twine and Life in the Forest.

Life in the Forest

I love this Stamp set, it is not my usual choice, but "What does the Fox Say" is playing everywhere and this little Fox is the cutest!  I paired it with the new Arrow embossing folder, Chevron Natural ribbon, Stamp set "Just Sayin', matching Framelits and Fresh Prints Designer paper stack. 

Make this card and more at the next Stamp a Stack on January 4th.  Rsvp at the website.  My Thought Bubble should be on the other side, but my Snoopy was bugging me and I promised her ONE card tonight and then we would snuggle.  Maybe the Fox reads right to left!  LOL

Vivid Vases

This is another perfect watercolor stamp set, but I am inclined to go Black and Vanilla.  This is one of the Stamp sets for Leadership Jan 10-12.  Wish I was attending but going to Florida in February and had to choose one or the other.

I used Mixed Medley Designer paper embossed with a new a Embossing folder called Scallops!

Water Color Orchids and Roses

These are the last 2 patterns in the WaterColor note pack.  Love them all, but the Roses was the hardest to use.  I decided to pair it with some stamps from the NEW "Perfect Pennants" set which also has matching Framelits!

Such a Simple card with the Orchids and Sentiment stamped in Basic Gray From " Happy Watercolor" and then Daffodil Delight marker added to the Orchid centers.  Perfect cards to have on hand when you need something FAST!!

Water Color Water Lily

Here is another look at 2 more patterns from the Watercolor Note cards featuring the "People Like You" single stamp.  I love how this sentiment fits the Modern Label punch!  On Both cards I colored the stamp with markers.  Crisp Cantaloupe and Old Olive on this card.  Huff and Puff and stamp directly to the watercolor note.  Notice the pattern repeats on the back of the card.

This card also features the same pattern on the back side, I colored the water lily in Perfect Plum and stamped.  The Sentiment was colored in Old Olive on Naturals White card stock and punched with the Modern Label punch.  Then popped up over the original sentiment.  Love this option as it can cover up some oops!  Like OOPS this was not stamped dark enough and did not show up!!

You could really get artistic and water color the flowers even more, but I like this simple look.

Water Color makes me Happy!!

Here is the first Sneak Peek of the new Occasions Catalog! 

 

This stamp set Happy Watercolor has some grunge elements so it was high on my wish list.  I am showing 2 looks.  The first is stamped on the NEW Watercolor Wonder Note cards and envelopes.  20 cards and Envelopes and the feel of these is fabulous.  Watercolor paper to stamp on, color on and build on.  5 Different patterns in the pack.  I should have stopped at one flower, but it should have been higher, so stamped another and the background stamp fell off my block......But you still get the drift.  LOL  The Background on this note card is pre-stamped.  I used Smoky Slate, Crisp Cantaloupe and Basic Gray ink.

Card 2

 

Same stamp set stamped on a Whisper White Top Note left over from Christmas cards.  Another Grunge element in this stamp set stamped in Smoky Slate and the Sentiment in Basic Gray.  Check out the new Embossing folder Decorative Dots on the Crisp Cantaloupe card base.  And a few strands of twine from a Sale-a-bration item! 

Love this Color Combo!  Stay tuned for more Sneak Peeks!  These products will be available January 3rd.

One more Deer......

I love this stamp and it was one of the last stamps I purchased from the Holiday catalog!  So many looks and it can be used for Manly cards all year long!  This Polka Dot paper from Seasons of Style was a challenge to use, but decided to pair it with the Deer and I like the results.  The paper stack is
4 1/2 X 6 1/2, so the paper was cut in half.  Emboss the Deer with Versamark and Early Expresso embossing powder.  Mat on a 4 3/4 X 3 1/2 piece of Real Red card stock and emboss with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  Perfect Polka dots is perfect because it does not etch the paper too deep and ruin your embossed Deer!!  The Sentiment is stamped in Early Expresso on Real Red and cut out with an Apothecary Framelit.  A bow of Real Red stitched ribbon finishes the card.
