The December Kit was a 2016 Calendar!  It is so cute and the most popular kit yet.  As soon as the refills were available for sale they sold out!  If you are local to me and you want to make one of these cute calendars you are in luck – I have a limited number of kits available and will be having a little class this Sunday, January 10th to make them.  See the information HERE and let me know if you want to come.

Once you are done with the month these would be perfect to add to a scrapbook – especially a Project Life Scrapbook.  Each month could be the first card for that month’s pages.

With the left over pieces I had from my kit I decided to create a little note card by adding some Designer Paper.  Here is how it turned out:

Here are the supplies that I added to the Paper Pumpkin One Great Year refill to create the notecard:

Love Blossom Suite

Let me introduce you to the new Love Blossoms Suite from the 2016 Occasions Catalog.

love-blossom-suite

I actually had the opportunity to introduce this suite of products to about 400 demonstrators at the Tampa On Stage Local Event in November.  I was on stage in front of everyone and extremely nervous – but I did it!

 

 

 

There are lights and cameras and screens and timers and so many different things to remember when you get on that stage including what in the world I was supposed to be saying!  I introduced all the products that are included in the suite and showed how to cut out the new Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Dies along with the new Big Shot Die Brush.

I made a few samples for a display board here are a couple of those:

I’ll share some more of the ideas and info from my presentation in another post – this one is getting long.

Thanks for stopping by and have fun drooling over that new Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration free items!

Today is the last day

Today is the last day of the Holiday Catalog and the last day you can order the To You & Yours Shaker Cards Project Kit.  It always surprises me how much better the kits are in person compared to how they look in the catalog.  This one looked like it would be fun and I ordered it and then let it sit a while.  When I finally got it out to make some of the cards I was surprised by how much was included and how fun they were.  They really turned out to be cute cards.  Now I had to alter mine slightly.  Why?  Well I ordered the Kit which includes all the consumable products but I didn’t order the coordinating stamp set.  So I got creative with what I already had at home in order to complete the three card designs in the kit.

Here are what mine look like.  Can you see the differences compared to the photos on page 4 of the catalog?

shaker-cards E

Here is what I used from the Holiday catalog:

  • To You & Yours Shaker Cards Project Kit pg. 4
  • Peaceful Pines pg. 17
  • Holly Jolly Greetings pg. 34
  • Acorn Builder Punch pg. 45
  • Six Sayings pg. 51 – Hostess stamp set

I basically used stamp sets that I already had instead of buying another one and then finished with some punched pieces to fill in where I was missing something.  Here are a few more details:

On the Tree card:

  • I used the Peaceful Pines stamp set for the tree and the Six Sayings stamp set for the greeting.
  • The star at the top is the star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.  I used the left over edges of the gold foil from the Star card.
  • The base of the tree is the Cupcake Builder Punch – I used a scrap of Early Espresso card stock and then cut the punched piece down a little bit so it was shorter.
  • You can also decorate your envelope with the left over green tree piece from the frame.

On the Star card:

  • I used the little stars from Holly Jolly Greetings for the background and corners.  But there are other sets that have something similar you could use.
  • Save the gold foil scraps from around the star and use to punch the pieces for the other cards.
  • Use the left over gold star piece to decorate your envelope.

On the Ornament card:

  • I used the little stars from Holly Jolly Greetings for the background.
  • For the ornament string I used my Project Life Journaling Pen.
  • For the ornament top I punched from the left over Gold Foil the acorn top from the Acorn Builder Punch.

You could order this kit now and work on your cards for next year early!
