GSF Blog Hop – Truly Tailored Card for Dad

Posted in 2018 Occasions, Cards, Global Stamping Friends, GSF, New Catalogue, Sale-A-Bration, Stampin' Up by

Hi Friends! I hope you’re having an amazing week so far! I’ve been busy this week; both at work and at play, but I am happy to bring you a card featuring the new Truly Tailored Stamp Set from the Occasions Catalogue that went live on January 3rd!

Seriously, have you seen the catalogue yet? It has so many amazing new items, I can hardly handle it! If you’re joining me from the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop, thank you for stopping by! I know you’ve already seen some amazing projects, so thanks for sticking around!

If you’re here just because you enjoy my blog (thanks a million!), be sure to check out the other amazing projects by checking out the list below!

From the moment I opened the Occasions Catalogue, the True Gentlemen Suite instantly caught my eye. I’m not sure if was the colours (my fave colours are blue/turquoise), or if it’s because masculine cards are what I struggle with most, but this set really has it all for me. Plus, I thought that this suite would make the masculine cards come a bit easier for me.

And let me tell you, this suite has helped so much!

Lookin' Sharp Dad Birthday Card - GSP Blog - JAN2018

I decided to go with something a bit more simple this time, but this suite really allows you to get creative with the sentiments and embellishments. The colour, sentiments; everything about this set just speaks to me and has so much to offer.

I think aside from the Truly Tailored Stamp Set itself, the True Gentlemen Designer Series Paper may be one of my most favourite Designer Series Paper that Stampin’ Up! has ever had. I say this because of it’s level of details, it’s classiness, and I think it can appeal to both kids and adults alike. Just think of the gift packaging you can create with it too!

Truly Tailored Dad Card

If you like this suite as much as I do, but are not too sure what to get, I’ve put together this little bundle for you to give you a hand. It’s an easy way to earn a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!

Carols of Christmas Bundle

Posted in Cards, Carols of Christmas, Christmas, DIY, Holiday Catalogue, New Catalogue, Shop, Stampin' Up by

Carols of Christmas Bundle Heading - BLOG

Hello friends! I hope you had a fabulous weekend! We’ve certainly been busy! We finally got started on new flooring in our basement since our last flooding, and I took my boys to an amazing farm for some apple picking and lots of play! Weekends pass way too soon, don’t they?

I have a couple of cards to share with you today using the new Carols of Christmas Bundle from the new Holiday Catalogue.

Carols of Christmas - BLOG

I just love that Stampin’ Up! included Brown Craft Paper and Old Olive Cardstock together as the Merry Little Christmas Bundle.  Coupled with Basic Black Cardstock, it just looks so great and I think the colour combination really works! I even used the new Champaign Foil Sheets for the cute little deer that comes in the bundle as part of the framelits.

 

I should also note that the card above is also part of the Card Swap I am participating in with my Stampin’ Up! Team! I’m so excited to participate with such a wonderful group of ladies! If you want to know more about joining my team, click HERE!

Carols of Christmas - PROMO

This is another beautiful card that I created with the bundle! Isn’t it stunning? I coupled it with the Be Merry Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue, as well as the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies and the  beautiful Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon.

I just love how both of these cards turned out! Is this bundle on your wish list?

You can see a complete list of all the supplies I used to create today’s card, with clickable links to My Canadian Online Stampin’ Up! Store at the end of this blog post. I’d love to be your Canadian Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.

GSF Blog Hop – Kids Cards

Posted in Cards, Global Stamping Friends, GSF, Magical Mermaid, New Catalogue, Shop, Stampin' Up by

Hello friends!

I’m sorry I’ve been a little MIA recently – I have good reason with some exciting things coming down the pipe! Until I can release any more info, I am back to regular posting. And what a better way to be back than with a Blog Hop with my friends over at the Global Stamping Friends?!

gsf-blog-hop
Today’s hop is all about Kids Cards! Sometimes I struggle with kids cards even though the perception is that they’re easy to make. To be honest, I find them the most challenging! Kids likes and dislikes are constantly changing, so sometimes it’s hard to keep up!

Having said that, I think I’ve come up with a couple of kids cards that will impress even the toughest of our little critics!

Enter: the Magical Mermaid Stamp Set!

Mermaid Card

Isn’t this just gorgeous? I used Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, and Dapper Demin ink to create the beautiful watercolour background, and then used the Watercolour Pencils to colour in the mermaid. Unfortunately, there are no dies or framelits with this set, but it’s nothing a little fussy cutting can’t solve!

Oh, and just in case you’re wondering about the watermark on the photo, Sweet Paper Studios is my other small business. You can learn more and check out my page by clicking HERE.

My next card involves a little punch art! I don’t do very much punch art, but when I do, I can’t help but go all-out!

Leo Lion Card - Stamping Girl

This sweet little lion was created using the Fox Builder Punch, along with a 2″ scallop punch for his mane. You can find the leaves in the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies.

Leo Lion 2 - Stampin' Girl

I just love how both of these cards turned out and I know that the recipients loved them too!

What about you, do you find kids’ cards hard to design?

If you want more ideas, be sure to hop on over to see Kristie’s kids’ cards by clicking the next button, or you can view the list of blog hop participants below!

Survival Kit Header

Gorgeous stamp sets, bundles, and suites, oh my!

Can you believe it?! The new 2017 – 2018 Annual Catalogue goes live TOMORROW (June 1)! I am so excited for you to see this beautiful book!

Now, I need you to prepare yourself for what’s about to happen, because once you get your hands on this book, magical things will start to happen.

All of the new beautiful items (as well as current favourites); will jump out at you like no other catalogue before! You will be enthralled in this book – you literally won’t be able to put it down! You’re eyes will sparkle just seeing all of the new pretty things!

Because of this, I suggest you prepare yourself with the ever so helpful Catalogue Survival Kit.

These cute and curated kits will help you to navigate the catalogue as you swoon over new product and start creating your shopping lists. I’ve put these specific kits together for my customers that are attending my Catalogue Launch Party, but I invite you to create a kit for yourself!

Here’s what you’ll need:

Survival Kit List

Putting these kits together is so simple! I made them with our new Wood Crate Framelits Dies (also a must-have if you ask me), so be sure to add it to your shopping list! It’s seriously so cute! Just imagine all of the favours, projects, and cards you can make with it (yes, cards too!).

Survival Kit-2

Event Spotlight: Catalogue Launch Party

Posted in Annual Catalogue, Events, New Catalogue, Shop, Stampin' Up, Welcome by

 

Launch Party

Hi Friends!

The new 2017 – 2018 Stampin’ Up! Catalogue is all set to launch on June 1st, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to tell you all about my Catalogue Launch Party!

If you’re local to the Hamilton, ON area, then I invite you to join me for an evening of fun!

This is my first-ever launch party, and I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am! I have so many great things planned and I am beyond excited to show you all the new items Stampin’ Up! has to offer! If you haven’t seen any yet, CLICK HERE, to get a few sneak peek at the new Birthday Delivery Bundle. There are also a few new projects posted on my Instagram, so be sure to check it out and follow.

Anyway, back to the launch party! This drop-in style event will be filled with fun, laughter, and crafting. Here are just a few of things I have planned for you:

  • Each person will get a copy of the brand new catalogue (the best part)!
  • Each person will get a special gift (or two) from me because I am so thankful that you can attend.
  • Everyone will get to make one or two make-and-takes featuring new products.

There will also be door prizes, light refreshments, and more!

Plus, each person who places an order valued at $45 or more (before taxes and shipping) from the new catalogue at the launch party, will be entered to win a $30 shopping spree on me!

Doesn’t this sound fun! Be sure to RSVP by May 29th via the Facebook event page.

If you have any questions about the event, please leave a comment below or contact me directly.

Note that the event address will only be sent to those who have RSVP’d via the Facebook event page or to those who have RSVP’d with me directly.

I hope to see you there!

Friday Introductions

Posted in Cards, Friday Introductions, Stampin' Up, Welcome by

Friday Introductions

Have you heard of Friday Introductions? It’s an Instagram movement started by The Rising Tide Society as a way to get to know the maker, creator, entrepreneur…you get the hint. Well, I love this concept, so I thought why not borrow it and use it here on the blog so you could get to know me, and perhaps I can get to know you?!

So without further ado, let’s kick off the first of many Friday Introductions!

I’m Lisa. I am the girl behind the blog, and I am so proud to invite you to The Stampin’ Girl Blog. I’m also a small business owner; not just because I’m a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, but because I also own a small business called Sweet Paper Studios. With this business, I sell my handmade cards, custom prints, paper party decorations, and other paper goods. I also work full-time as an Education Coordinator at one of our local hospitals. So needless to say, I’m one busy woman!

When I’m not working or busy stampin’, I love spending time with my two boys (Eric and Andrew) and my husband Doug. Family is the most important thing in my life, and I just love creating lasting memories with the little things that come from our daily lives.

My favourite colour is blue, I can eat grilled cheese everyday, and I have a serious thing for cupcakes, especially chocolate! And I love to bake.

So now that you know a little about me, I’d love to learn more about you! So my question for you is (and I will include my answer below too):

Q: If you could sit on a bench in a beautiful woods, who would you like sitting next to you on the bench and why?

A: My Nana. She passed a few years ago of Cancer, but I would love to sit down with her just like we used to, with a tea in hand, and update her on everything in my life, as well as listen to how she has been and doing.

That was a little deep so don’t feel like to have to dig that far, but I’d love to hear your answers! So please introduce yourself and leave your answer in a comment below!

Until next time!
