Holiday Catalog and Gift With Purchase

The 2015 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog went live on 9/1/15. However, this is the first chance I have had to blog about it. The catalog is fabulous...filled with wonderful samples and new toys to play with. Tons of bundles are available to save you dollars! Click here to take a look at the catalog or use the link on the right. See details below about how to receive a free gift from me with an online purchase. 




My first card (one on the left) was inspired by a piece of artwork I saw on Pinterest. The card on the right was just a natural deviation on the same idea. I just love minimalist canvas art and pin lots of them to go back and drool over. All products Stampin' Up! unless noted. When I saw this one, the texture reminded me of the new Woodland Textured Impressions embossing folder.

My cards:





This look was simple to achieve. I simply masked areas I wanted to emboss on Whisper White cardstock. I tapped Versamark on those areas, them covered that entire area with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder before heat setting. After the area was cooled, I embossed that piece of cardstock with the Woodland Textured Impressions embossing folder. I adhered the words and the sequins with the new "must have in your stash" Fine Tip Glue Pen. I love the look!

I hope you enjoyed the project. Order $40 or more (before tax & shipping) online by 9/12/15 with the hostess code above and I will mail you the Metallics Sequin Assortment embellishments approximately 2 weeks from the above date.

Spreading More Joy...

This post will be a bit quick, as we are gearing up for a big afternoon with family. I have been working on a few personal Christmas cards this morning.  I changed up the colors a bit and added some layering to the word, but these are done very similar to the one in yesterday's post. I adore the use of the non-traditional Coastal Cabana & Rich Razzleberry inks from Stampin' Up! I even colored the rhinestones with the matching Blendabilities!


I admit I have always had a fondness for neutral colors. The card below pairs Crumb Cake & Smoky Slate inks for this stunning look. Again, I colored the rhinestones with the matching Crumb Cake Blendabilitie marker. 


Off to finish wrapping gifts and getting my home ready for little ones. Can't wait to hear their squeals as they open their gifts!

Don't forget about the huge end of year clearance with items up to 80% off and this week's specials with items that are 25% off. 


Have a wonderful day and be thankful for family and friends. Don't forget to pay it forward this holiday season. 

Artfully Yours,
Kim

Simply "Sparkling" with Joy!

I created this simple card this morning. It had been on my mind for some time, but had not figured out how to adhere the vellum without the adhesive showing. 



At some point during my menopause induced wakefulness last night, a light bulb went off! Use glue dots only underneath the sequins, which are adhered on top of the vellum with glue dots...it worked like a charm. 


This is a very quick card to put together. It uses just the one splatter stamp from the Gorgeous "MUST HAVE" Grunge set from Stampin' Up! I stamped it using Smoky Slate ink, then the vellum is adhered over that. I think the glittery "Joy"  along with sprinkles of sequins and rhinestones makes this card very festive!
