Happy New Years Eve! Any plans this evening? Nothing special happening here, just a nice quite dinner with a NCIS LA DVD marathon. I know that starting next week I’ll be super busy (year end close at work and the new SU Occasions/Sale-A-Bration catalogs) so some quite time will be nice!

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for stopping by my blog in 2015 to check out my creations, leave comments and place orders.

I’m looking forward to some exciting crafting happening in 2016, hope you will be joining me for the ride. Take care and have a safe New Years Eve.

Hi there, thought I would post a quick and simple card featuring two of the new Weekly Deals – the Wood Mount stamp set, Amazing Birthday and the Ornate Tag Topper Punch.  This was a quick and easy card to put together. It features one of the stamps on the tag. While the theme for the card is Cucumber Crush, I added a pop of color with a piece of the new Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (available 1/5/16) that was laying around on my desk just wanting to be used.

Thank you for stopping by, hope you liked the card. For more product information click on any of the images below, I’ve listed both the weekly deals, then the supply list for the card.

Have a great day, Craft On!

So were you all good little boys and girls? Did Santa stop at your house last night? Hopefully Santa will have brought me a new purse under the tree . . . what are you hoping for?

I wanted to take the time today to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas! I appreciate all of you whether you are a regular customer or enjoy just following my blog.  Hopefully you can enjoy the day with family and friends and build memories for a life time.

Today’s card is using a lot of the little pieces from my desk!

Thank you for stopping by today and everyday!  Have a great day, Craft On!

So how are you coming with your holiday preparations? Cards sent? Presents purchased and wrapped? Cookies made? I’m happy to report cards made and sent as well as cookies made. I spent part of the weekend prepping for the Christmas gifts I will be giving my Aunts, Uncles & cousins this Christmas as well as looking for that special grab bag gift for Christmas eve. After a few more errands and final check of everything I should be all set for the big day! Looking forward to see what Santa’s will be bringing me!

Today’s card features one of my favorite Stampin Up stamp sets – Lovely as a Tree. To get started on the card is a piece of Whisper White that I masked off all but a circle punch out and sponged the opening with Daffodil Delight. Once I removed the mask, using a little bit of removable adhesive I covered the “moon” and sponge the night sky using a variety of inks (Soft Sky, Smoky Slate and Night of Navy). Next using Night of Navy I stamped the pine tree from Lovely as a Tree and Santa from the stamp set Cozy Christmas. Now for the ” snowy sparkle” – I tapped the Versamark Ink pad all over the entire piece of paper, sprinkled with Iridescent Ice Embossing powder and heat set. Layers from the card base of Night of Navy is Smoky Slate and Daffodil Delight. Finishing touch is the die cut falala in Smoky Slate.

Thank you for stopping by today, hope you have a great week, Craft On!

Thought I would show you have one of this weeks “Weekly Deals” , the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper stack is for anyone. Don’t let the name fool you, using the Watercolor Words Photopolymer Stamp Set and a few pieces of card stock I was able to create a couple cards showcasing the versatility of the stamp set and paper. While some of the paper has butterflies and flowers, other are simple clean designs perfect for those masculine card needs.

First is the “girl” card, complete with a little bling:

Next is the “man” card, both have a clean simple design and are quick to put together.

Using the Watercolor Wings stamp set – with the sentiments: Love, Just for You, Happy Birthday, Hope, You’re the Best and Hooray you are covered for a variety of occasions.

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day, Craft On!

Happy Birthday Jackson! Today is my cousin Lisa’s, son’s birthday – he is 2. Thought I would share his shaker birthday card with you. Lisa has two boys and one of the reasons I purchased the “No Bones About It” stamp set was knowing it would be great to use for their birthdays!

The card starts with a base of Very Vanilla and is a 5″ square card. Used Pacific Point as the mat and outside is Old Olive, Gorgeous Grunge stamp set was used to stamp color on color to decorate the Old Olive. Next I die cut a circle out of the Old Olive using a circle from the Circles Collection framelits. To make sure I used a big enough circle, I stamped what I wanted to use first then picked the circle that best fit. A piece of window sheet was attached to the Old Olive (on the backside) with liquid glue to hold in the “shaker material” = sequins/glitter from my stash. The layer used to create the shaker is a piece of fun foam with a circle die cut and the image glued behind the opening. To finish the front, sentiment is stamped, with banner ends and backed with dimensionals.  After the photo is a layering list for how I put together a shaker card, hope it helps!

Shaker card – Top to bottom (using my card colors):

• Old Olive – top
• Window Sheet (glued to top on the backside)
• Fun Foam
• Stamped Image glued to the Fun Foam and then to the mat
• Mat (Pacific Point)
• At this point I have the top & window sheet together & fun foam/image/mat together
• Add “shaker material” – confetti, glitter, sequins, seed beads, etc
• Glue top piece to bottom and attach to card base
• Card Base (Very Vanilla)
