Sneak Peek Ice Cream

 Baby it's cold outside, and I'm playing with ice cream?  You bet I am because this new bundle, Ice Cream Swirl is too much fun!  


That cone is embossed for the detail (you can also stamp one and cut it out), and the die gives you the option to make a fold-over cone card.  


But I love the swirled ice cream!  There's a stamp if you want to color your ice cream, or you can cut out the swirls with different colors and paper-piece them together in any combination you want!  How fun!!


Can you see the shine on the cherry?  I added Fine Tip Glue and let it dry for a super shine!


Ice Cream Swirl will be available January 4th when the January - April 2024 Mini Catalog goes live.  It should be getting warmer by then - just the right time for some ice cream!

Hills of Tuscany

 Here's another new stamp set coming in the January - April 2024 Mini Catalog - Hills of Tuscany.  

One of my favorite current sets is Oceanfront, a set of stamps that are used to create scenes.  The creative freedom to use them as you please is fun, and sometimes a little intimidating!  But I have fun experimenting, and here are a few cards I've been playing with:


My first try was a full-size card, and I tried to create a house in a forest with a lake in the distance.  Did I succeed?  

Then I thought it would be fun to make a few mini cards:


Here's a little forest scene.  But I love the sky!  Such a cool stamp!

And then:


Probably my favorite of the three - a mini card to say hello!  


Hills of Tuscany will be available January 4th with the "go live" of the January - April 2024 Mini Catalog.    I'm already looking forward to coming up with new ideas with this great set!

Sneak Peek Week

 There are some fun new products coming along soon.  The January - April 2024 Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration brochure will be available to customers starting January 4th.  In the meantime, I thought you might like to see some of the new things soon to come. 

Like this:


Can you believe this card cost me almost nothing to make?  It's true!  The stamps and that beautiful textured-looking paper are items from the Sale-a-Bration offerings, which are FREE with a $50 or $100 purchase.  

The stamps are from a set called Softly Sophisticated, and includes a lovely embossing folder (which I did not used for this card).  But the flowers are so pretty, and there are two different vines and blossoms.  I stamped these in Berry Burst (stamped off once to create a softer color) and Pool Party.


A closer look lets you see that I cut a window in the DSP using the Stitched Rectangle dies.  And look at that designer paper - the So Stippled paper has 12 sheets of 12" x 12" paper, 6 of each design and double-sided!  I love the soft faux weave of this particular sheet.


You'll note the popped up layers of this card - the DSP is mounted to a piece of Berry Burst, and this is added to the Pool Party card base with Dimensionals.

And it's all finished off with some pretty Tinsel Gems 4-pack in Berry Burst.


I love Sale-a-Bration - it's truly so rewarding to make a purchase and get FREE items, and then to use them to create projects for nearly no cost!  

Sale-a-Bration starts January 4th!  If you have ordered from me in the past year, watch for your complimentary catalogs, coming to your door soon.
