Merry Christmas Poinsettia

     I'm having such a great time playing with some of my new purchases from the 2018 Holiday Catalog and even though there isn't much out there yet, I have managed to find a few that are very inspiring! This one was inspired by one I found on Instagram by Jackie Aitken. I used her inspiration but changed up all the products she used. I wanted to use everything that is going to stick around for a few months, hers was done with the exclusive Stampin' Up! bundle Blended Season that is only available for this month, August 2018. As beautiful and eye catching as hers is, I hope mine can do the same for someone else!
     There aren't any instructions for this card as it is a very simple card to do, you could possible call it a Clean And Simple (CAS) card! Using pieces from 3 of the current bundles, you have no trouble knowing what to do with each piece. The colors will all depend on the DSP you choose to use for the center band. My choice was the special coming in September when you hold a workshop of $300 or more, the Dashing Along DSP. I was going to use glimmer paper but you wouldn't have seen the beautiful detail in the gold foil piece. I use glimmer paper far more than I do the foil papers but for this project, foil paper it had to be 😉 makes it POP!
     As I said before... I hope you all like my variation of the original card that Jackie Aitken did and find inspiration to create a beautiful card of your own and I hope to see it somewhere 😉

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

     Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead.  It was a great idea, it was a hit!      Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families.  She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good!  I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think?      I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
