Happy Easter to everyone!! I hope where you are it is a sunny as it is here, and boy am I finally glad to see some sun. Of course that also means I can see where all the lovely "deposits" that Finn made over the winter. Ah well, at least I have warm weather for that chore LOL!!. I'm also anxious to get my fingers dirty in my two small garden patches, maybe I'll take a trip to my favourite garden store next week. Well that's all for now, and again Happy Easter to all.</div>

There are some products you just have to see in action before you realize how much you need them, right? This is one of them! Plan to feature these dies in your events and share the video. When your customers see what they can do, they will place their orders.<br />
These new card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards. (The Circle Card Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with nine total pieces.)</td><td><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ca/documents/thinlits_flyer_demo_7.17.13_CA.pdf" style="color: #73695d; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_"><img border="0" height="228" src="http://www.stampinup.com/ca/images/thinlits_flyerTH_demo_7.17.13_CA.jpg" width="175" /></a></td></tr>

With the number of dies you're getting, plus the die that creates the card itself, the price is a great value-especially to create an interactive card!</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #848484; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
<li>Promote mass production of these impressive "flip" cards. They would make great announcements, invitations, or Christmas cards. You can even help your customers select all the supplies they will need to create their cards.</li>
<li>These Thinlits Card Dies will be available <em>at least</em> through the 2013-2014 catalog year, so you can feel confident investing in them and promoting them for many months to come. </li>
<li>The main shape in the cards (circle and label) can work with a lot of our stamp images so you can create tons of different kinds of cards using many different stamp sets. Here are just a few suggestions to get you started:</li>

Well I am also a self-confessed paper hoarder, be it real or digital. Years ago when I first heard of scrapbooking I, and my eldest daughter (she was still living at home then), went and bought some basic tools to start scrapbooking. We were all gung-ho and truth be told my daughter did make a couple of pages. I on the other hand, think too much (as a friend once told me)and therefore have several pages in my head, pieces cut out, planned, pictures scanned and/or printed all ready to be made into the most wonderful pages!! LOL,<br />
A few weeks ago I had happened upon a free kit and tutorial from <a href="http://www.jessicasprague.com/" target="_blank">Jessica Sprague</a> which she offered for the USA "Arbor Day" holiday. This is the page I made with that kit. It is a picture of our little grandson I took while on his first visit to a Pumpkin Patch, and if you all are patient I will get around to putting together a page which actually shows some pumpkins!<br />
<br />

<br />
Recently it was iNSD (InterNational Scrapbooking Day) and I participated in a G+ hangout tutorial with some lovely ladies. It was for beginner digital scrapbookers. I learned quite a few new, well actually almost all of what I learned was new, things and made my 2nd digital scrapbook page. I'm not quite finished with it yet, I need to put some more "elements" on the page before I'm totally satisfied with it. So stay tuned.<br />
<br />
On another note, I'm not sure if there are any of you out there really following me, but if you are I will be out of commission for a few weeks, as I am having carpel surgery next week. Luckily it's on my left wrist, so I may be able to mouse around, ya' never know!!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16705200098063005157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730251396152965699.post-43132864098601591312013-04-04T20:03:00.000-04:002013-04-04T20:03:37.005-04:00Stampin' Up! NewsSo many things going on around Stampin' Up! lately that every time I turn around something new is announced. I thought I'd let you in on a couple of things.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: red;">FREE SHIPPING!!</span> </h2>
We are offering FREE shipping on EVERYTHNG April 6 - 8 (excluding expeditied orders)! That's right, no minimums or limits and all order types qualify.

<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: magenta;">COLOUR REFRESH</span></h2>
Stampin' Up! is doing a little "freshening" up of their colour families. This means the retiring colours will be going on the "retired" list coming out soon in anticipation of the new 2013-2014 annual catalogue (May 31, 2013). On the chart below you will notice 10 new colours (most of which are returning In Colours from previous years), welcoming back some of your favourites, moving some colours to new families and introducing one brand-new colour. So peruse the chart carefully because beginning today April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued colour products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last, and with free shipping, <i><b>see above,</b></i> now is the time to stock up on all your favourites before they are gone forever!!!<br />

Well my sister brought it to my attention that my blog seems a little stalled, it's probably more like it's me that's stalled LOL, so in a quick effort to catch up here are some of the cards I have been working on since last we visited.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is CASE's from Melissa Davies over at <a href="http://www.rubberfunatics.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">RubberFUNatics</a> I just love her work, check out her blog.</td></tr>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">This is also CASE'd, I can't remember who from (if it's yours let me know, so I can give you proper credit).This is my version but changed it up for my class. The ladies used Silver Glimmer paper strips for the lattice, which is stunning as well, and some used a Real Red piece for backing which gave it another super look. I decided the pearls were not necessary with the glimmer paper. I wish I had taken pictures of them, they really were sparkly. Maybe I'll do up another one and post it someday.</span></div>

I think it became my favourite from my 2012 Christmas selection (I think I had 14 different cards in all).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">Well after all that snow the last 2 days, it's nice and sunny so I will go dig out some of the other cards and take some pictures and post them for you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, I've been MIA for a while, but I'm back full strength now and it's smooth sailing ahead. Well until the next wave in the lake. Our DD and family moved back to our neck of the woods and are now only 5 mins. away, so I see a lot of our little "bug". That's where some of my time went, but it's time well spent and the bonus is I sleep very well after his visits LOL. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I would like to show you the projects from the last couple of my WOW Wednesday classes, so I will post April's now and over the next few days catch up with the rest. So keep popping back in, you might see something you like! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have been wanting to make these adorable little birdhouses since I first saw them in our Stampin' Success magazine (exclusive to demo's sorry!) last year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This pic does not do it justice, it really is does not list to the left, it's just resting on a tumbled tile I made last year for DH for Father's Day. There is little "blingies" in the flowers, and the Daffodil Delight is so bright and cheery and really sets off the Certainly Celery DSP. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here are 2 cards we also made. This is the Stained Glass technique and is just so pretty and feminine.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have a little bookcase set up in My Creative Space, where I hold my classes, and use the top shelf to display some special items I have created. I try to change this out frequently but lately it has been neglected. Here is a pic as it was a few months ago. I hope to have some new items to display for next class.</span></div>

It started off great, I was off to see my grandson get his first haircut, DD had chosen such a cute place that specializes in kids cuts. Well I was amazed at the set-up, as I'd never had these types of places when my kids were small, of course I made sure I took my camera to take lots of pics, go to turn it on........guess what..........battery dead. Now, I have 2 batteries to eliminate this problem (can you tell I've done this before LOL). I had put in a fresh one the night before (I thought), while I charged up the dead one. Luckily I had my cell phone charging in the car (sense a theme here....). Well we did get lots of pics, even the teary ones, he didn't like getting his bangs cut. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well haircut done, off to the post office to mail off an ATC swap that a group of us have every month. Oh shoot, it's the post lady that always gives me grief about something to do with my package. I nicely asked her how much postage I needed for this particular package, she answered $1.27 really quickly and before I could say anything she slapped on the postage!!!!! I already had stamps out and she could see that, I only wanted to know how much I needed. Anyway I used my stamps for the return postage and sealed up the envelope. It didn't seal, faulty glue. <i>Nice post lady</i>, watched me struggling with the flap, knew it wasn't sticking, but I had to ask her for some tape, she hands me a glue stick which I knew wasn't going to work now that the flap was all damp. Then when I showed here it still wasn't sticking she did an eye roll worthy of "Stephanie Plum" and said "here I've got some tape", all the time never a flicker of a smile or any emotion at all. This is not the first time I have dealt with her, the other post lady that works there<b> is</b> very nice, but next time I see this <i>nice post lady</i> I'll go to another post office. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then, everyone on the road seemed to be just driving crazy - one guy making a left hand turn decided he was out to far and backed up, into OUR lane!!!! There was a police car behind me, but he was obviously going off shift as he did nothing except swerve like the rest of us to miss the left turning idiot. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It just seemed that a lot of little things kept going wrong. Just one of those days!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh enough ranting on to some cards.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XCnHJG4I2J4/T3uQkEXiCXI/AAAAAAAAAWo/T_8y7XavBsc/s1600/WOW+Bleaching+2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XCnHJG4I2J4/T3uQkEXiCXI/AAAAAAAAAWo/T_8y7XavBsc/s400/WOW+Bleaching+2012.jpg" width="271" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The technique for my WOW Wednesday class this month was Bleaching. We all had so much fun trying out different colours of scrap paper to see what colour the bleach would turn them, some were really spectacular and others didn't seem to do much. Oh and don't look too close, you'll see how I went out of the edges on the boat. Even embossing can't keep me in the lines. LOL</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We used the bleaching a stamped image technique for this masuclilne card.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The recipe:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Stamp - Sail Away </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Card stock - Always Artichoke & Sahara Sand</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Designer paper - Well Worn & Paisley Petals</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Inks - Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake & Black Stazon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and of course household bleach.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is a" Z fold" card with the image added to a "gate type" front piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Di7TxOiPrVI/T3uWEIwPmsI/AAAAAAAAAWw/zUFuETHEKwE/s1600/WOW+Bleaching+2012+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Di7TxOiPrVI/T3uWEIwPmsI/AAAAAAAAAWw/zUFuETHEKwE/s400/WOW+Bleaching+2012+1.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This next one used the bleach as a stamp pad technique. I have used this particular design many times on cards, it seems to be my go to when my mojo has got up and left. It is simple and now I wish I had used a punched border on the bottom of the three sections. It still is a very pretty card and everyone seemed to like it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The recipe:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Stamp - Fresh Vintage & Elementary Elegance</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Card stock - Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Designer paper - Elementary Elegance</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Inks - Real Red & Crumb Cake</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Extras - Vintage Wall paper embossing folder, Oval punches, basic pearls & Big Shot</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Thanks for looking,</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Hugs,</i></span><br />

I have the windows open and it's even sounding like spring, love to hear the birds....makes me happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What a lovely day for the St. Patrick's Day parade, that's where most of my family is today. I decided not to go as I still have some prep work to do for my WOW Wednesday class. It was so nice to have my "green" mojo kick in and I finished that St. Patrick's Day card and got them mailed away, I used the new lovely Everyday Elegance paper and some of the Lucky Limeade ribbon from Stampin' Up. (both of which you can still get free from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue click on the catalogues tab to see details) To make the shamrock I punched 3 hearts, using the small heart punch, out of some of the silver glimmer paper which I first coloured green, and then hand cut the little stem. I mounted it on some ovals in Whisper white and Lucky Limeade then popped that up on a layer of Whisper white I ran through the dotted embossing folder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It seems so simple now, but this was my 4th design for this card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">While I had that mojo captive I whipped up a belated Birthday card for my sister (her birthday was in January, bad me, but she still loves me anyway). Maybe I should start working on her next birthday card now! LOL. I used a base of Perfect Plum and this was a stretch for me I almost always start with a white base, ran a layer of Whisper White through the dotted embossing folder, sponged the edges lightly with Wisteria Wonder. Using the Greenhouse Garden set (which is a two-step stamp) I stamped the large flower twice using Perfect Plum and Concord Crush, ran some Old Olive through the Little Leaves sizzlet and some scraps were used in the Beautiful Wings sizzlet for the butterfly. Some pearls for bling and some ribbon from my stash and Voila!! done. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now what took me so long? </span><br />

I have been trying to come up with a simple but not<i style="font-weight: bold;"> too</i> simple design for mass production. I send out 12 cards to family and they look forward to them each year, so it is a challenge to out do my previous year card. Anyway since I have discarded 3 different designs so far I'm hoping that this 4th one is the keeper. I guess it better be time is a-runnin' out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So for today's cards one is for a birthday and one is a pick-me-up for someone special who is going through a tough time right now. I do have to give <b>Kari Metzger</b> my sincere thanks for the idea of using SU Framelits in 3D. I don't have the Framelits so I used my nesties, which look very much like the Framelits, anyway you'll get the idea when you see them. </span><br />

Please forgive me, but I have been having too much fun organizing my new area, and have been super busy making cards and planning my new WOW Wednesday classes. On the 2nd Wednesday of every month some super ladies join me for WOW Wednesdays, we learn some new techniques and make a project or two. Last month I had the ladies recreate one of my Christmas cards to learn the reverse masking technique.We changed it up so they could use it for any occasion they wished. Here is my Christmas example. Quite a few of the ladies said they would use this for a masculine card, and I do agree, SU's Lovely as a Tree set is so versatile.<br />

<br />
<br />
Then for the really fun part.....a Valentine shaker card. How cute is this. It is a small 4x4 card and we made an envelope for it as well. Don't you just love those little hearts, we used three different SU tools to make them, the larger heart on the bottom right is a QuicKutz I've had for ages but it seemed to fit right in. I do wish I had used a lighter backing on the shaker part so the glittery hearts showed up better, oooh well next time.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well it's been a few days since my last post, but you will forgive me when I tell you why. My darling husband said to me "What would you need (I heard "want") to get your "stuff" (I may have taken offence to that word hehehe) organized, and tidied up?? Now understand that my craft space is in our finished basement, where we do most of our entertaining, and it seems when I start a project it grows and grows and grows until it seems I have something on every flat surface in the whole Rec room. DH says give me a flat surface and I'll cover it!! He is right, but then I always set things to right.........eventually. So to make a short story long, I have been carting up all my "stuff" (can you tell that still bugs me!) into some lovely IKEA containers, and the large units should arrive sometime before Saturday. I am so excited, it's just like waiting for the UPS girl to deliver my orders. In amongst all this upheaval I had to make DD her birthday card, and I have also been working on an ATC swap, but that is on hold 'til the weekend. So here are some pics, and don't forget to stop back to see the final reveal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The file cabinet on the right is where I keep my 8 1/2 x 11 card stock, along with our business and personal files. I have also taken over 2 1/2 shelves in the bookcase, which I will be returning to the Rec room. There is also a nice big (well huge actually) bulletin board to be put up. Soon we will be able to use the exercise station, which is that large circular monstrosity, actually I like it because it has doors to keep it neat.</span></div>

Well, it's five days into the new year, all the excitement has settled and it seems really quiet around here! Of course I do have my fabulous Finn to keep me hoping. This morning he helped himself to the bananas (left over from Christmas Stockings) I had ripening on the kitchen counter for some banana bread. He only got half of one before I caught him, let's just say he hates being ignored (I was on the phone)!!! For those of you who haven't been introduced to Finn here he is. </div>

Who could get angry at that face?? So now instead of banana bread I'll make some Egg Nog Bread I found a recipe for. I'll let you know how it turns out. </div>

So on to the crafty part of this post. A while back, actually some time in November I was in a swap and this was my swap. The swap was a Canadian (so like those for the postage) swap and the challenge was to use something new from the Holiday Mini (the Spice Cake DSP) and something from the new IB&C (Faith in Nature stamp set). Love that Spice Cake paper. There is a little bling on this card, but not so much that you could still classify this as a masculine card.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope this inspires you!</div>

I know that's not a real word but I like it!<br />
<br />
So for all of you faithful (and patient) followers, Welcome back, and welcome to any new friends who happen by. Keep coming back to see more changes, I'm on a roll.<br />

These are the cards our family received this year. I hope they enjoyed them as much as I did colouring and making them. I did try out a few wild colours on the "hankie" but decided that traditional was best.<br />

These, as well as last month's, were part of a set I did for a client last year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I chose this card for my Christmas workshop when I fell in love with the Ornament punch, and then found it had a coordinating stamp set. How FUN is that!!! The girls had fun making it, and since I had 2 made for myself into my client's set it went, easy-peasy.<br />
#119847 - Ornament Punch<br />
#116517 - Delightful Decorations stamp set<br />
#111690 - Snow Swirled stamp set (sentiment)<br />
#117335 - Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder<br />
Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler card stock and ink, basic pearls, 1/4" white taffeta ribbon, dimensionals and a paperclip for the hanger.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one is testing my memory (I'm doing much better at taking notes)I think I used Crumb cake for the base, but it could have been Brushed Gold. I know that I used Cherry Cobbler CS and ink, Snow Swirled stamp set, Encore gold ink and of course my favourite.....embossing powder. One day maybe I'll make a card without any embossing it LOL.<br />
<br />
Well thanks for stopping in, feel free to leave me a comment or visit my store if your mojo was tickled.<br />

During the 2nd week of every month I will post a Christmas card (at least this will make me post once a month for sure LOL). For the first while it will be cards that I made in 2010, but I will let you know when I start on this year's crop.<br />
<br />
So here is my favourite of last year's pick.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used SU totally on this card.Whisper White card base and matting along with Brushed Gold CS, VersaMark with Gold embossing powder, Snow Swirled and Sincere Salutations stamp sets, and some pearl accents. (Edited to add: Oopps seems I took the pic before I added the pearls)<br />
Oh and I stamped the envie, but can't remember what I used.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16705200098063005157noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730251396152965699.post-1316956855825534972011-02-03T21:14:00.000-05:002013-07-09T22:30:41.017-04:00Birthday Card<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a birthday card I made for DH's Aunt's 75th birthday. Her children held a lovely party for her and as it happened, her brother, DH's Uncle was turning 80 the following week (I made a card for him also, just haven't downloaded it yet. Another post), so it was a combined party with 2 cakes. I think that was the best part, who doesn't like birthday cake. Wish I could think of some Stephanie Plum quotes on that right now.<br />
