Unleash Your Creativity... with Undefined!

Have you ever needed just the right stamp, only to find Stampin' Up! doesn't have it? Well, my favorite set from Stampin' Up! retired years ago, and it is packed away in my garage (don't ask). The easier solution? Create my own stamp using Stampin' Up!'s new Undefined kit!

You may be wondering why an apple core? Well, with a maiden name like CORE, it just seemed fitting! I've actually created ones for my nieces, too, and will be sending them for Valentine's Day.

Want to see how the Undefined kit works? Check out the video from Stampin' Up! below, then head over to my Stampin' Up! store to order your own Undefined kit!

Hostess Club Creations!

I love getting together with the ladies from my monthly rotating hostess club.  These get-togethers are filled with lots of fun... chatting, stories, laughs, snacks and of course card-making! Check out a couple of cards that we made!

The card fold was based on a swap I received at Leadership. You can dress up this card using so many different Designer Series Papers and varying the stamp set! Such a versatile layout!!

 

Do you want to recreate this card? You can purchase the following items at my online store:

 

Stamp Set:  Vivid Vases (133818)

Cardstock:  Daffodil Delight (119683) and Tangerine Tango (111349), Whisper White (100730)

Designer Series Paper:  Watercolor Wonder (132994)

Ink:  Stazon (101406)

Stampin' Write Markers:  Daffodil Delight  and Tangerine Tango (131259) , Gumball Green (126856) and Island Indigo (131262)

 

Don't forget your adhesive, too... like SNAIL and Dimensionals!

Make an Impression!

 

I get excited when Stampin' Up! introduce new tools - especially when they make my crafting experiences so much fun and easy. Last year Sizzix gave Stampin' Up! a limited number of Texture Boutiques to see if there would be a demand for them. Guess what? There was - and still is! This machine is completely redesigned for Stampin' Up! - it is so sleek and sexy, don't you think? Although I have the previous version, I HAD to order the new one... it will be in Friday! *big smile*

 

Here are the details from Stampin' Up!...

 

Make an impression with our Texture Impression Embossing Machine (item 132657). It’s coming in our 2014–2015 annual catalog, but we have a limited supply available now. The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut.

 

Don’t forget to order the brand new Textured Impressions Embossing Folders that just came out in the Occasions catalog so you have everything you need to start creating with your new machine.

 

• Ampersand Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item 132970)
• Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item 132187)
• Scallops Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item 132971)

 

If you order the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine and all three of the new folders, you will qualify to get a FREE Sale-A-Bration gift. We highly recommend the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (Item #133520)! (You must order before March 31, 2014 to qualify for the free gift).

One last note... I still love my Big Shot for die cutting and use it daily. However, the Texture Boutique is great if you just want a quick emboss! I took mine to Leadership to finish my swaps. It was so much more convenient (and did not add much extra weight to my luggage)!

 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

 

Happy stamping!

Have you Tried Paper Pumpkin Yet?

I received my Paper Pumpkin box and squealed when I opened it! Free gift? What??? And how did they know I love buttons? Tee hee! Usually I stick pretty close to the instructions and pictures when putting my kit together, but this time I am going to try to step out of the box. As soon as I'm finished putting my cards together, I'll definitely post pictures!

 

If you haven't tried Paper Pumpkin yet, you might want to! Don't forget to sign up before February 10 to get a FREE set of markers! Details can be found HERE. Pictured below is your welcome kit. If you decide to continue your subscription, you will receive a new shipment every month. So much fun!

Thank you for stopping by! Now go stamp. :)
