A Cup of Thanks

Today's card features the Press On stamp set. I am not a coffee drinker, but this set was so cute I just had to have it! I was inspired by the Starbucks red holiday cups. What do you think?
 

To get the red cup look, you'll have to do a little bit of paper piecing. Stamp the cup image once on Real Red cardstock, and once on Whisper White cardstock. Fussy cut the sections that are white and glue them onto the red cup. You'll want to make sure you're cutting on the black lines with all of your fussy cutting. Our Paper Snips work great for this! If you haven't tried them, I highly recommend them. I won't use regular scissors for cutting out small images anymore - these just work so much better!
 

That pop of Coastal Cabana creates a fun color combination. We had a Designer Series Paper a few years back with these colors, and I just loved it! 
 

Here is a full list of supplies:
Stamps: Press On
Ink: Memento Black, Real Red, Crumb Cake
Paper: Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Real Red
Embellishments: Real Red Braided Linen Trim
Tools: Tasteful Labels Dies, Paper Snips
Adhesives: Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

If you'd like to purchase the supplies to make this card, you can do so in my online store. Click here for a 1-click ordering option that will bring up the entire list of supplies for you!

Happy Stamping!

October Christmas Card Club: Sneak Peek

Today I have a sneak peek of this month's Christmas Card Club for you! This month, I used the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set. It has so many great sentiments that you can use on your Christmas cards!
 

Every month, you will get the supplies to make 8 cards - 2 each of 4 designs - plus products that you'll use on your cards and the cardstock cut and ready to assemble. For example, this month I am planning on including a 1/2 package of the Heartwarming Hugs paper, a roll of Real Red Sheer Ribbon, and a package of Wonderful Gems. You'll use these items on your cards, plus have some leftover to use on other projects! You can join or cancel your subscription to this club at anytime - there is no 6 or 12-month commitment, BUT for every 6 consecutive months that you subscribe, you'll earn a $25 product credit. 

The club kits do not include stamps, ink, or adhesives. As a perk of belonging to the club, I will offer you the option to add on the stamps and ink that I used that month at catalog cost (I cover the tax and shipping). You are always welcome to use stamps and ink that you already own.
 

If you'd like to subscribe, the deadline to get the kit with the cards pictured above is October 15. If you subscribe after that, you'll receive the next month's kit. You can register here. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Stamping!

#GDP261: Fall Friendship Card

Today's card was inspired by the color challenge at Global Design Project this week.


I used the Love of Leaves Bundle and a few supporting products to create my card. This bundle caught my eye right away because of the stitching. Stitched dies are my favorite!
 

All of the details on this card really make it special:
  • A watercolor wash in Mint Macaron ink, with a few speckles of Cajun Craze
  • A sprinkling of the Artistry Blooms Sequins
  • A leaf from the In Good Taste Elements
  • A piece of Embroidered Ribbon
I just love how all of Stampin' Up!'s products coordinate so well together!
 

Here is a full list of supplies:
Stamps: Love of Leaves
Ink: Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron
Paper: Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Shimmery White
Embellishments: Artistry Blooms Sequins, In Good Taste Elements, 3/8" Embroidered Ribbon
Tools: Stitched Leaves Dies, Stitched Rectangles Dies, Tasteful Labels Dies, Water Painters
Adhesives: Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots
 
Happy Stamping!
