OnStage Case card

Before I get to today’s post, remember this is the final day of the Online Extravaganza for stamp sets!  If there is a set you have been waiting on, now is the time to get it.  Tomorrow begins the Tools and Ink portion of the sale.  Here is the link for today and the stamps.  CLICK HERE

 

And now to today’s post.  At On Stage in Orlando, we got to do a couple of Make ‘N Take cards each day at lunch.  Today’s card is one of those.  I love the layout, and see myself using this often.  Feel free to use it yourself!!

 

Bloom By Bloom, 148820

 

I love these vibrant colors!  I hope you do as well.  All of this is new items in the upcoming 2019 Occasions Catalog.  So I guess this is a Sneak Peek for you.  I am sorry that you cannot order it right now.

The card base is a new item.  There are regular size cards and note cards in this gorgeous Blueberry Bushel.  They come with matching envelopes that are white with a blue and white stripe on the flap.  I cannot wait to get a bunch of those in my hands.  The rest of the items are new as well, with the exception of the sentiment.  I did not stamp at On Stage, I just brought the  little pieces home.  So I used the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set for the sentiment.  Hint…it is a great set to have on hand, and even better at 10% off!!!!

One way to get these items before January is to join my team!  I would love to have you as part of my Blue Line Stampers Team.  We are allowed to pre-order for the new products a month ahead of time.  It is one of the great bonuses of joining Stampin’ Up! .  If you are interested or just have a few questions about joining, please reach out to me.  I would love to talk with you.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Please return tomorrow for a new Christmas card and a new 2 Day sale on Tools and Inks.  Woohoo!!

I have added the supplies at the bottom of the post.  Unfortunately anything that is new in the Occasions Catalog coming up, I do not have a graph of.  Sorry!!

Thankful

I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving today!  Spending time with those we love are , at least for me, the best part of the day.  So wishes for a day of happiness, as well as Thanksgiving, to you all.

My card today is a quick and simple stamping card, #simplestamping.  This was a challenge from Sara Douglass at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event.  She challenged us to do more Simple Stamping.  I think I do that pretty much all the time.

 

Stampin' Up!, Falling For Leaves, Wishing you Well, Jackie Beers

Falling For Leaves, 147680

 

The beauty of this card is from the Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper. I hate that it is out of stock.  But I paired it with an unexpected soft color of Mint Macaron.

The only thing I did a little bit different here is the Cajun Craze curved branch.  This is from the Falling For Leaves stamp set and is a straight piece.  Since it is in photopolymer though, I can slightly curve it.  I wanted to add it to the wreath and curving it as I placed it on the clear block worked perfectly.

Thank you very much for stopping by today.  I very much appreciate it and hope to see you tomorrow.  I hope you have a great day doing whatever you love!

Don’t forget the upcoming sale!!!!   I will have all of the updates on my blog tomorrow.

Poinsettia Christmas

Today’s card is using one of my favorite stamp sets from the Holiday Catalog.  I have used it several times and have mentioned that I feel it is a “sleeper” set.  Have you figured out which set it is?  It is the Timeless Tidings set.  I do not see very many cards made with this set.  For the price point, I think it should be snatched up quickly!!

 

Timeless Tidings, 148936

 

This is another quick and easy card.  I have made a few for my Christmas Card stash and just colored them while I watch television at night.

The base is the Thick Whisper White card stock and then layers to show off the beautiful DSP.  I stamped the flower and mistletoe with Memento Tuxedo Ink and then colored them with Stampin’ Blends in Shaded Spruce, Cherry Cobbler, and Daffodil Delight.  The sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you have all of your Thanksgiving plans near completion so you can enjoy your day.  I will have a quick card you can peruse over our morning caffeine. 🙂

Be Jolly for GDP165

I have another of the adorable snowmen for the Global Design Project color challenge.  The challenge is for Merry Merlot, Tranquil Tide , and Crumb Cake.  Well who would not love that mix of colors????  I use them regularly.  And especially with the Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper.  So here is my Jolly Snowman.

 

Stampin' Up!, Spirited Snowmen, Candy Cane Season, Jackie Beers

Spirited Snowmen, 148072

 

 

 

My card is one that any level stamper could quickly duplicate.  I stamped the snowman with Memento Tuxedo Ink and then colored him with the above colors.  The only addition is Pumpkin Pie for his nose and pool party to give some depth to his “snow”.  A little swipe is all it takes for that.

The gorgeous ribbon is the reversible Merry Merlot / Copper ribbon in the Holiday Catalog.  It is so pretty. I did twist the ribbon in making the knot so that only the Merlot side showed.  I then adhered the sentiment with a row of glue dots.  As I said, easy peasy!!!

Thank you for visiting today!  I greatly appreciate it.  I hope you will return tomorrow for another quick and easy project.

Beach Santa

I had intended to do more Thanksgiving cards this week.  But you know how intentions are…….so there is a Beachy Christmas card instead.  Everyone knows Santa needs a vacation too.

Before you see today’s card, please don’t leave without going to the bottom of my post.  There are a couple of exciting new products that you  might not have seen previously.  They were announced at OnStage and this is the first time I am sharing some of them.

But now for Santa!!

 

So Santa, 147821

 

I just picture this is Santa taking a break before getting ready for the rush of delivering gifts.  I purposely did not use Christmas DSP or colors.  Instead I paired Santa with Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper, one of the 6 X 6 paper stacks.  I also colored his trunks and board in wild colors as well.  He is definitely on Vacation!

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

 

New items:

  • The new items further down are the Stamparatus Carry Bag, which I cannot wait to get in my hands!!
  • The debut of the NEW Cling stamps:  It may be a sad day for some of you.  Stampin’ Up! is retiring the Wood mount stamps.  There will only be Cling and Photopolymer.  The Cling may look the same but are 50 times more sticky.  In fact, you need to be careful when taking the stamp off of the clear block so you do not rip the foam.  These are going to stick even here in the high humidity of the South! Check out the video by clicking on the words above the picture.
  • Stamparatus accessories, which are not totally new, just I have not really focused on them.

Thank you so much for visiting with me today.  I hope you enjoyed today’s card and will return tomorrow for another new project.

 

MEASUREMENTS:

  • Base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2
  • Layer is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8
  • DSP is 4 X 2 1/4 and 4 X 3
  • small layers for Santa are 2 7/8 X 3 1/8, and 2 3/4 X 3
  • small layers for sentiment are 2 5/8 X 1 1/8 and 2 1/2 X 1
