When the items arrive, I will sort them, divide them, cut them into 6×6″ pieces, and bag and label them. You can pick them up at my place in Hamilton, ON or for a $15 fee, I can mail the share out to you. I will mail them in a Priority Post box so that it gets to you a quickly as possible and I will be able to track the parcel.

Painted Harvest and Rooted in Nature for GDP136

Posted in Cards, GDP, Global Design Project, New, Rooted In Nature, Stampin' Up by

It’s time for another Global Design Project (GDP136) Challenge and this time we are CASEing the Designer! In the card making world you can find inspiration from so many different people and I am always in awe of some of the creations I see. The designer we are CASEing this time is fellow Canadian and Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, Allison Okamitsu. Allison is one of the most talented Demonstrators out there. Her cards are always bright and fun, and her designs are always beyond gorgeous. I am so excited we are CASEing her for this challenge! Here is my card:

GDP136 - CASeing Allison

When we CASE (Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit), we can copy the design exactly or choose to take elements of the card and make them our own. Here is Allison’s card that is the inspiration for this weeks challenge.

GDP136_Allison_Okamitsu

Isn’t her card just adorable? In this case, I chose to go with Allison’s layout with the four images on the top and the sentiment on the bottom.

GDP136 - CASEing Allison 2

For my card I used one of my favourite stamp sets, Painted Harvest, as well as a new favourite; the brand new Rooted In Nature Stamp Set that will be available in the new 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue coming out on June 1st.

The colours I used are Pacific Point, Pool Party, and Daffodil Delight. I also added some embossing powder for the sentiment for an extra little touch.

I do hope you liked this card! Be sure to subscribe to my blog and newsletter by clicking the link on the right-hand side of this page! You can also catch me over on YouTube, where I share video tutorials and more.

In Every Season Card

Posted in Annual Catalogue, Cards, In Every Season, New Catalogue, Shop, Stampin' Up by

In Every Season 1 - MAY 2018

Happy Weekend, friends! Thank you for joining me today. Despite the crazy wind storm we had on Friday (seriously, I thought my car was going to blow over on the highway!), we have been having some pretty good weather this past week. I think Spring is finally here! I even spent four hours in the garden yesterday doing some clean up and prepping for new flowers!

This makes me super excited to show you this card that I created with the brand new In Every Season Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! I definitely had Spring in mind when I created it and just love how it turned out. The sentiment is also from a new stamp set (Rooted in Nature – sneak peek coming soon!).

Both of these gorgeous sets will be available in the new 2018 – 2019 Annual Catalogue that is coming on June 1st. That is less than a month away!

*Cue Happy Dance*

In Every Season 2 - MAY 2018 BLOG POST

You’ll notice that I used many different floral stamps on this one including Primrose, Violets, and Carnations. So pretty, right?

In total there are 12 different flowers included in the stamp set which you can see below. As you can tell, the possibilities are endless this one. For this card in particular, I used Pacific Point Card Stock and ink, and used a combination of Stampin’ Write Markers and Blends (will be available soon), to colour in the flowers.

Please feel free to save the guide below to use as a reference when making your own creations with this set.

We’re in the middle of an April ice storm here in Hamilton…what the heck?! I am so ready for Spring! BUT, being stuck inside has it’s advantages as I was able to film and edit my latest video all in one day! Winning!

Today’s card is so pretty, isn’t it? Not only does it have a little bling, but I made it using absolutely NO stamping! I do love to stamp, but sometimes you just gotta change it up, you know?

For this card the main items used are the Eclectic Layers Thinlit Dies and the Celebrate you Thinlits (coming out June 1st).  A full list of supplies used for this card is located at the end of this blog post.

You can watch the full video tutorial below.

Colour Revamp Revealed

Posted in Annual Catalogue, Colour Revamp, DIY, New, New Catalogue, Retiring List, Shop, Stampin' Up, Uncategorized by

Colour Revamp

The spice of life is variety, and that’s especially true in the world of color. Stampin’ Up! makes a point to keep an eye on color trends across different markets and industries. When they see changes happening, they review their color spectrum to ensure that they remain consistently on top of the trends. This brings us to the 2018 Color Revamp! In order to keep bringing you the most current and on trend colours, they decided it was time to give their color collections a makeover.

You may have noticed from the Retiring Lists that many colours are going away. While I am sad to see some of my favourite colours go (goodbye my beloved Island Indigo), I am equally excited to see some returning favourites, as well as some brand new colours!

First, let’s take a look at the RETIRING COLOURS. They are below.

Colour Summary

Second, let’s new at NEW colours. Notice any returning favourites?!

New Colours

Next, let’s look at the FULL colour Reveal, including new Colour Collections.

Full Colour Reveal

Aren’t these colours delicious?! I am very excited about Merry Merlot, Mango Melody, Gorgeous Grape, and Balmy Blue! Oh, and did you see that Mint Macaron is coming back?! YES!

So, what do you think about these changes? I’d love to hear your feedback in the comment section of this blog post. I am absolutely excited about this and can just imagine all of the fun stamping we can have with these colours.

There is another change coming (I know, it’s a lot to take in), but the ink pads are also changing and I’ll post about those soon! And trust me, it is good!

When the catalogue goes live on June 1st, I’ll also have some colour guides available for my customers.

Be sure to sign up for my newsletter if you’re not already on my list!

Thanks for joining me today! Happy Stamping!

Due to high demand for retiring stamp sets, retiring stamp sets will be guaranteed available until May 25; all other products are not guaranteed and are only available while supplies last.

New Beginnings | GDP123

Posted in 2018 Occasions, Annual Catalogue, Cards, GDP, Global Design Project, Stampin' Up by

Hello Friends!

I decided to enter the Global Design Project Challenge #123 at the last minute, and I’m super excited to show you what I came up with! I’ve done the challenge before, but I admit, it’s been a while!

New Beginnings GDP123 - 1

This challenge (#GDP123) is all about new beginnings, and I think this is something we can all relate to. Whether it’s a new job, you’re a new Stampin’ Up! Demo (or want to be!), retirement, wedding…the list can go on! We’ve all started anew at one point or other, so what a perfect theme!

GDPD123

For this particular card, I had two things in mind; retirement and/or new job. I think it suits either occasion as its bright, cheery, and really shows excitement!

The layout of the card is cased from the lovely Lauren Alarid, who is a fellow demonstrator and a 2018 Artisan Design Team Member. Her cards are always so lovely, but the layout in which this one is based, is probably one of my faves!

You’ll notice that I used a couple of different stamp sets for this card; the new Picture Perfect Stamp Set from the new Occasions Catalogue, as well as the Colourful Seasons Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue.

Colours used are Bermuda Bay, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, and Peekaboo Peach. Also used is the beautiful Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which created the beautiful background on this card.

New Beginnings GDP123 - 2

I do hope you love this card! If you have any questions about this or anything Stampin’ Up!, please comment below!

Quick and Simple Valentine’s Day Treat Holder w/VIDEO

Posted in 2018 Occasions, Big Shot, DIY, Stampin' Up, Valentine's Day, Video, YouTube by

I have a real treat for you today!

(See what I did there?)

But first, let me tell you some EXCITING news!

I am officially a YouTuber! I am so excited about creating my own YouTube channel and it just so happens that I have published my first official YouTube video with today’s project!

You can SUBSCRIBE HERE!

So onto today’s project, which is this really pretty Valentine’s Day Treat Holder!

Valentine's Day Treat Holder.jpg

Seriously, how cute is this?!

And it’s not just for treats either! You can fit gift cards, two tea bags, fruit snacks, and more. It’s also perfect for ANY occasion.

For this treat holder, I used our new Sure Do Love You Bundle from the 2018 Occasions Catalogue (which also got me a FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp set since the bundle is just over $60.00)!

The Sure Do Love You Bundle is part of the Painted with Love Product Suite which includes the gorgeous Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper that I used for the treat holder. I think the paper is my favourite product in the suite because it’s SO beautiful and so versatile (think Valentines, wedding, birthdays, etc.).

The entire suite pairs beautifully with the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder that I used for the banner on the treat holder too!
