12 Days of Christmas in August: Day 1

» 16 August, 2012 » Cards, Christmas » 2,115 comments

Welcome to Day 1 of 12 Days of Christmas in August.  Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday, and I thought August would be the perfect time to show some great holiday projects.  After all, Christmas will be here before you know it.

I used the set First Christmas for the manger and star images. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the set More Merry Messages.

Freshly Made Sketch #48: Perfectly Preserved

» 16 August, 2012 » Big Shot, Cards, Freshly Made Sketches » 0 comments

Here is what I put together for this week’s Freshly Made Sketch.  I used the set Perfectly Preserved and Orchard Harvest DSP. I’m in love with the color combo in this dsp!  I also used the Cannery Set Framelits to cut the pear out.  Did you know that Stampin’ Up! offers this stamp set and the framelits as a bundle?  If you purchase them together you will save 15%.  Isn’t that awesome!

Blooming with Kindness

» 23 July, 2012 » Big Shot, Birthday, Cards, Clean & Simple » 0 comments

My card today is one of the cards we will be making at my monthly card class in August. It uses the stamp set Blooming with Kindness.  When I first saw this set in the catalog, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t thrilled with it.  Of course, as soon as I started browsing Stampin’ Connection (an exclusive site for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators), I fell in love with it.  I embossed the midnight muse card stock with Perfect Polka Dots Folder, and the Very Vanilla cardstock was run through the Big Shot using the Oval Accents Die.
