Curvy Celebrations - Happiest of Birthdays

 I'm running a little behind today, so I'm writing my post while attending Stampin' Up!'s Onstage opening night.  Onstage is our annual convention and tonight's festivities have been very entertaining.  We started off with a concert by Pat Benetar and Neil Giraldo.  While these performers may be older than some of you, they are very familiar to me!  It was a great, upbeat start to this year's festivities.  (And I've already learned a GREAT tip I can't wait to share with you next week!)

Back to my post  -- this is my final card for this week's introduction to Curvy Celebrations.  Today I made a birthday card using a couple different dies from the Curvy Dies, the Curvy Celebrations stamp set, and the 6" x 6" Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper.

For this card, I used the Crumb Cake and Whisper White patterned paper and a piece of Terracotta Tile card stock as my framing/background piece.  The greeting is heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.   I colored the floral spray with Stampin' Blends.  Because we don't have Terracotta Tile in Stampin Blends, I colored the flowers with Daffodil Delight, light Calypso Coral and then dark Calypso Coral.  I think it's a pretty good match!

I hope you've enjoyed the cards I've shared from this fantastic new bundle and can see the versatility of this set.  And remember, the Curvy Variety Bundle is available at a 10% discount!  

That's it from me for this week.  Have a great weekend!

Curvy Christmas Merry & Bright

 You are all loving the Curvy Celebrations products!  Demand was so high yesterday that there were several glitches with the system yesterday afternoon.  Curvy Christmas and the Variety Bundle are currently on backorder, but are expected back in stock very soon.  You can order now and it will ship as soon as stock has been replenished.  

The possibilities with the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle are limitless!  I've used the products, along with the Stitched Stars Dies and Brushed Metallic Foil card stock  for today's card.

Curvy Christmas Trees

 Thank goodness it's election day!  DH and I headed out first thing this morning to cast our ballots and then we ran some errands.  I, for one, am looking forward to the unending car commercials returning to the television.

And, today is the first day customers are able to order the Curvy Celebrations products and the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle.  Have you placed your order?  

Today's card features the super cute tree stamp from the Curvy Christmas stamp set and I paired it with the Classic Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.  The sentiment was cut out with one of the frames from Ornate Frames.  The sprig dies are from the Curvy Dies and the ribbon is the Snowflake Splendor 1/4" Ribbon.

Quite Curvy - Thinking Of You At Christmas

 As we head into November, it's time to start talking about new products available from Stampin' Up! beginning November 3!  But first, I want to share this #simplestamping card I made using products from the new product collection.

For this card, I stamped the tree image in Shaded Spruce ink and the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler.  I added a border of Red Foil and adhered all to a piece of Thick Whisper White card stock.

Have A Hoot

 Happy Halloween, everyone!  I have one more Halloween card for you before we put the holiday to bed for this season.  I haven't used the Have A Hoot stamp set yet, so no better town to pull it out!

To make this card, I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black on a panel of Whisper White card stock that I cut out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  Then I stamped the image again on a piece of scrap paper.  I colored the tree on the main image panel and colored the owl and spider on the second image using Stampin Blends.  With the Peek a Hoot Dies, I cut out the images from the scrap paper and attached them to the main image panel with Dimensionals.  I added a spider web from the same dies. and adhered all to a backing of  Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.

Gathered Leaves Thanksgiving

 Do you send cards for Thanksgiving?  I do.  But I bet that prior to this year most of you have not.  But with this year of so many changes and challenges a new tradition may be born.  

I made my Thanksgiving cards using Very Vanilla notecards.  The notecards are a little smaller than the normal sized cards we typically make.  They are so conveniently sold in packs of 20 cards and 20 envelopes.  

In my Facebook Live on Thursday night at 7:00 EDT, I'm going to show you how I made these cards.  I will also provide the supply list at that time.  I hope you can join me!  Click here to hop over to my Facebook page.

Way To Goat

What a day today has been!  Our son and bonus daughter finally closed on their new home and we spent the day helping them move their belongings from storage (ie., our house) to theirs.  It was exhausting, but it's nice to see them so happy! 

The card I'm sharing with you today was made for a very special recent birthday.  I really got a laugh out of this set when I saw it, so I was happy to pull it out for today's card.

I stamped the goat on a piece of Whisper White card stock and colored him with Stampin' Blends.  The sentiment was stamped on a piece of Pool Party Designer Series Paper from the Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Pack.  The background is a piece of Designer Series Paper from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper Pack.  In Good Taste is included in this month's 15% off Designer Series Paper Sale!  The sale ends Saturday, so if you haven't stocked up on your favorite Designer Series Papers, there are only a few days remaining!

September Customer Thank You Card

 I was going through the photos on my phone earlier today and realized I never shared the thank you card I sent out to those that ordered from me in September.  I am so proud to have earned your business and I am so grateful for every order that you place with me.  It's my pleasure to send you a hand made card and a small gift as a thank you when your order is $50 or more.

For this card, I used a card base of Bumblebee card stock topped with a layer of Whisper White card stock.  Next, I added a layer of patterned paper from the Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper collection.  Plaid Tiding is one of the paper packs included in this month's Designer Series Paper Sale.  I added a banner of Early Espresso card stock and a smaller banner of Brushed Metallic 12" x 12" card stock.  The sentiment is from Massive Thanks.  I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso on Whisper White card stock and cut it out with the Stitched Nested Label dies.  I added a bow using the 3/8" Embroidered Ribbon.

A Very Merry Christmas

 A local group is having a fundraising vendor show this weekend.  While I'm not able to participate at the show, I donated a pack of Christmas cards for them to add to their Chinese auction.  I hope they do well!

These cards were fun to make and went together very quickly.

The card base is Real Red card stock topped by a layer of Very Vanilla.  The next layer is 2 designs from the Toile Christmas Designer Series Paper Pack (on sale through the end of October), with a strip of Red Velvet Paper dividing the two designs.  The sentiment is from the Gift Wrapped stamp set.  It is stamped in Real Red ink on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and cut out with an oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies and adhered to the card front with Dimensionals.  Finally, I added a Red Rhinestone Basic Jewel to "dot the i".
