Taking a ColourQ

I bet you've been wondering where I've been...I have been under the weather again. But, I'm feeling better! This cute little card would brighten any ones day I think....what do you think?

Sale-A-Bration started last Tuesday and this set, Petal Parade is one of the free sets you can earn by purchasing $50 USD in Stampin' Up! merchandise. The saying comes from the 2013-14 IB&C, it's one of the new sets called Yippee-Skippee (pg.37). And last but not least, that bakers twine adds just the right amount of sparkle with the silver twist in it, it can be found in the 2014 Occasions Mini Catalog (pg.24). The Sisters in Stamping are participating in a ColourQ Challenge this week, hop on over to take a look at the other cards and projects.

Thank-you for coming by! Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Bee Mine!

Well hey, welcome today to my blog! The Sisters in Stamping are making candy projects today. Here is my project for today--

I used the fun Designer Series Paper stack called Fresh Prints. I cut 2" off of the piece to make it 4 1/2x 4 1/2 inches squares. Once it was folded it was the perfect size for a wrapped candy!

The little bee came from the set called Crazy, Mixed-up Love. It's one of the new sets in the 2013-14 Idea Book & Catalog. I put some Dazzling Diamonds glitter in the bee's wings just to dress him up some.

Thank-you for coming by today! Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Brrrr....it's Cold Outside!

Maybe you should "Bundle Up"? The Sisters in Stamping are using some of the new Bundles from the Occasions Mini Catalog this week. See what I did there?? I couldn't help myself! Here is my project for this week, and I'll try not make any more puntifications--

I used the Banner Bundle (the stamp set Perfect Pennants and the Banner Framelit Dies, pg.27) to make my card today. I threw some other Occasions Mini products into my card design too-- the Scallops Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (pg.32, #132971) and to make it sparkle, I pulled some of the sequins off of the new Gold Sequin Trim (pg.23, #132983).

Well, that's all I have for today. Thank-you for coming by!

Happy stamping! Karla c(:

Happy 2014

My new year was uneventful and that's just how I like it! How about you? I have been recovering from a stomach bug and haven't felt like doing much of anything. It was good to get back down in my stamping studio and unpack some of my goodies and play. Over at the Sisters in Stamping we are making cards and projects using our favorite stamp sets from the new Occasions Mini Catalog. It goes live today, here is a link to it if you'd like to peruse: 2014 Occasions Mini Catalog
Here is my card for today's post--

I used a set called So Very Grateful. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to order it....sometimes there is no fighting it! This card has a very country feel to it until you get to the glitter. The glitter just makes it sing!

Thank-you for coming by, go check out the other projects. See you next week. Karla c(:

It's Almost Time!

To Sale-A-Brate that is!! Stampin' Up! gave all of the Demonstrators a chance to pre-order some new goodies. Here is my project for this week--

I used the super cute set called See Ya Later as soon as I saw it I had to have it! When I trimmed it I cut the little sun and cloud off of the top, it makes it so much more versatile. The Designer Series Paper, Sweet Sorbet and the Twine, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack are also FREE Sale-A-Bration items too. So fun and Spring-y.

Thank-you for stopping by! The Sisters in Stamping  are taking next week off so I'll see you again next year.

Happy Stamping! Karla c(:

PS. Have a great Christmas.

Need Some Last Minute Gift Ideas?

If so, you are in the right place this week! At the Sisters in Stamping blog we have put our heads together and come up with some really great (and more importantly quick) ideas. Here is my project for this week--

It is a gift box with a 1/2 pint of season salt inside. Here is another picture--

I purchased the jars in a flat of 12 from a big box store. Cut a circle with a framelit from the New Circles Collection using the Designer Series Paper Stack from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I found the recipe for the Salt on Pintrest:

Homemade Season Salt
1/2 c. Kosher salt
2 t. Smoked Paprika
1 t. Onion powder
1 T. Pepper
2 t. Garlic powder
1/8 t. Ground red pepper

Mix all ingredients together. Makes ½ pint jar.

I multiplied the recipe by 8 and it filled all 12 of my little jars. They are the cutest!!

Well, that's it for me this week. The other Sisters have some more ideas-- go check it out!

Happy stamping! Karla c(:

BigShot Friday

On the Sisters in Stamping blog this week we are sharing Christmas cards that use the BigShot. Here is my card for this week--

I used the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder for my background design and the Top Note die made my Elf Shoes. Actually the Top Note makes 2 pairs of shoes, nice if you are making multiples. The socks are Designer Series Paper from the Winter Frost Paper Stack, and I had to add a little "bling" -- the pom-poms are Silver Glimmer Paper and the laces are Silver 1/8" Ribbon from the Holiday Mini Catalog. 

Way too cute!

Have a great day and make sure you come back next week the Sisters will have some small gift ideas for you. Happy Stamping! Karla c(:
