Beautiful Thing

Hello stampers,


I was looking through the cards my very talented sister sent me to share with you and found this beauty.  The designer series paper used for this card is probably my favorite single sheet of paper from the entire Holiday catalog.  It's beautiful and fits this time of year perfectly.  Enjoy!

Hi everyone!

The past couple of weeks, I have been so preoccupied with getting everything ready for my first craft show this weekend.  I love doing craft shows, but they are a ton of work!  Anyhow, Mr. Brown stopped here yesterday and brought my new order for the new Stampin' Blends!  Woohoo!  Suddenly, that craft fair was in second place.  I had to try out the Blends!

First, I love coloring.  And I especially love coloring with alcohol markers.  I've used Copics and the original Stampin' Up! Blendabilities.  I have to say, the new Blends did not disappoint!  I loved coloring with them and how easily the color saturates the cardstock.  I used the heavy weight Whisper White cardstock, which reduced the bleed through (that happens when using alcohol markers), for my stamped image. 

Stampin' Blends come in two color families, a light and a dark shade of each color.  I used light and dark Calypso Coral and the light and dark Old Olive on my card.  I also used the Color Lifter to lift some of the color from the rose.  I can't stress enough how important it is to have the Color Lifter.  Not only does it save the day for the accidental coloring outside the lines, but it is invaluable in lifting color from within the colored image.  I love the brighter looking rose I got after using the Color Lifter. 

This is just a sneak peek of these wonderful new markers.  As soon as we know when they will be available for customers, I'll share more of the markers and the new stamp set and card kit that work well with the Blends.

(By the way, did you recognize the Designer Series Paper panel as being from the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper and the black rhinestones from the Spooky Night collection? Stampin' Up! products coordinate so nicely!)

Hi there!

I can't take credit for the idea for this card.  A couple of weeks ago I saw a few variations of it and knew I had to make one, too!  Carol Read created the first one I saw.  Remember the Beautiful You stamp set?  Yes, one of the ladies is all dressed up and ready for Halloween!!!

Hello Stampers!

One of the things I like to do is to combine elements from more than one stamp set to create a unique card.  I've done that today using the Labels to Love set (#144967) from the Holiday catalog and the Colorful Seasons bundle (#145358) from the Annual catalog to create my card.

Spooky Cat

Hi everyone!

Fast Fuse Update!  Well, we did it!  We (Stampin' Up! customers) ordered so many of the Fast Fuse deals offered as part of the World Cardmaking Days promotion that Stampin' Up! is totally sold out of the product.  And the back orders are so large that it will take a couple of months to fill them.  So, Stampin' Up! made the difficult decision to stop the Fast Fuse promotion - for now.  But, they promise that when stock is replenished, they will turn this deal back on for 5 more days.  So, watch this space.  As I know more, I'll pass it along, but for now, Fast Fuse is out  of stock and not available to order!  Just goes to show - we know a good deal when we see it!

Today is time for another card from my very talented sister.  She used the Spooky Cat bundle to create this card.
