This Merry Mice set is so cute don’t you think?? I had fun colouring this little mouse. I Cased this card from my friend Leonie whom I think had Cased it off Pinterest.
I stamped the cute mouse on Thick Whisper White cardstock and have coloured some of it with the Aquapainter and inkpads. The smaller areas like the bauble and the leaves and also the ears and stars I used the markers. This piece was matted on Real Red then layered on to strips of the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper. This is a great way of using up some of the scraps of patterned paper.
I meant to tie around the twine around the paper and the white card mat but forgot before I stuck it down. There was no point even trying to lift it without destroying it so I just went with a bow with the both twines. That’s all good though right. 🙂
Thanks for visiting.
I found this idea the other day to make these cute coffee cups. I don’t drink coffee but I love meeting up with friends for “coffee”. I loved the idea that you could make these cute cups with … The Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies. How clever! They make great sized coffee cups for a card.
This idea is from Susan Campfield on suestampfield.com HERE.
I put together a video on how to make it for you. View that -> HERE.
You can dress them up as you like. I have used the ‘Paisleys and Posies’ stamps and the Paisleys Framelits. The background is stamped with the ‘Timeless Textures’ set. The sentiment is from ‘Bella and Friends’ which I think is very apt for a friend to let them know you are thinking of them.
What a fun idea!
It just happens that the Home Sweet Home Thinlits are 30% off this week for Extravaganza. They are priced this week at $44.10. You can check out all the List for Extravaganza at my store HERE.
I hope you can make your own “coffee cup” cards.
Just a quick one for me today. I thought I would show you these really quick Christmas tags using the Holly, Jolly Greetings set.
These were inspired by tags I saw on Pinterest. I think the Whisper White card is cut to 5cm x 12cm (2″ x 4 3/4″) and the top punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. The snowflake is stamped in Crumb Cake with the sentiment stamped in Real Red. There are a number of combinations you could make with these stamps for your sentiments. You can see the set below.
I added some small strips of the Candy Cane DSP with some Red Glimmer Paper. This is a great way to use up some of those small scraps you have lying around. I tied around some Real Red Twine and finished them with Rhinestones. It wouldn’t take long to whip up a number of these classy tags to dress up your gifts for Christmas.
Here is the set for you to see if you haven’t noticed it. This is in the Annual Catalogue p 34. ($49.00 W $35.00 C).
Thanks for visiting today. I hope your day/ night is great.
I realised I hadn’t posted these cards yet. They have been sitting in my drafts folder for weeks! Oops! Now you can get to see them. 🙂
I didn’t get this set, Star of Light at first when the Holiday catalogue came out. I wasn’t sure about it and after all I still had the star framelits from the Annual Catalogue. I got to play with this set at our stamping weekend, and well … I kinda liked it. I may have this set now. 😉
This is the first card I made.
The “swirly” star pattern is heat embossed in Copper. The sentiments and small stars are stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I cut one of the larger stars in Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and the smaller one is cut from Copper Foil sheet with the matching Starlight Thinlits. A pearl is added for some glam.
This is quite a simple card really but makes and impact I think.
For the next card the layout is based on the Freshly Made Sketches #217.
The base card is Real Red and the paper is from the Candy Cane Lane DSP pack. I heat embossed the “dots’ in gold on white card. There are so many star shapes in this Thinlits pack to give you so many options. (You can see them down below). I cut a large one in Real Red and the more detailed on in Gold Foil. Before I added it to the card front I looped around some Gold thread.
The sentiment is heat embossed in Gold onto vellum. Just be gentle when heat embossing the vellum. 🙂
Here is the set and the Thinlits if you haven’t noticed them yet. What combinations can you make?? Can you see the sentiments in the set too? They are really lovely. With these gorgeous sentiments and the varying shaped Thinlits, it doesn’t take much to make quick fancy cards with them.
They are available for $84.50 as a bundle in my store HERE. So why not go and grab them.
Don’t forget with a minimum order of $55 you will receive the limited edition Pop Up Scrap Bin for Free from me as a Thank you!
See you soon,
Since I have got back from Stampin’ Up! Onstage last week I have been running. I think in circles more so but anyway… I haven’t had a lot of time to go through my photos to share with you as yet but I hope to very soon. In the meantime I still have cards to share.
Today is a card with cats!!
These cats are made with the Fox Builder Punch. I am not a fan of foxes so I haven’t got this punch but I used this punch on our stamping weekend. I found this idea on Pinterest so thought I would make a card with this. I thought it was a cute idea.
The cats are stamped in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso using the ‘Foxy Friends’ set. The sentiment is from the set ‘Better Together’. The leaf and the curvy spray of leaves is from the ‘Foxy Friends’ set too. A good thing with the stamps being photopolymer I could curve the spray before I inked it to match the White oval piece that I had already cut with the Oval Layering Framelits.
The base is Sweet Sugarplum and the paper is from the Playful Palette Paper stack. Before I adhered the cute cats and the Oval sentiment piece I swirled around some Silver Thread and tied around some Sweet Sugarplum Ruched ribbon.
These cats look pretty happy don’t you think. 🙂
Have an awesome day wherever you may be.
I have been eyeing off these type of Framelits for a while and I am so excited that Stampin’ Up! have released them. And early! These will be available in the 2017 Annual Catalogue but why wait until then. Get them now during November.
These ‘Stitched Shapes’ Framelits create a “dotty” stitched effect around your cut shape. They are $50 and there are 12 dies in all in Circles, Squares and Ovals.
They will co-ordinate with many of the current sets but Stampin’ Up! have announced 25% off select sets that will work well with these.

As you may know the Stampin’ Up! Onstage event is on right now and I am in Brisbane for the Live event. It is very exciting! Part of the fun of the event is swapping with other demonstrators. It’s great sharing ideas and meeting up with others.
I had grand plans for swaps again this year but with college assignments, Stampin’ Up! stuff, family stuff and life it just didn’t work out. I had my design worked out though.
Although I didn’t get to make a number of them as swaps I made one ready for the display board at Onstage.
So here it is. I was inspired by cards on Pinterest for this. This is using the set ‘Paisleys and Posies’.
To create this. First cut a circle using the Layering Circle Framelits from scrap paper. The scrap paper is the same size as your Whisper White mat and you will cut it near the top of your paper. This is your mask piece.
Lay the scrap piece over your white card mat and stamp your images. On this card I have used Flirty Flamingo. Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum and Mint Macaron inkpads. Stamp your sentiment on the white card in Black.
I layered the card on to a Peekaboo Peach card base. Then finish with a diecut flower from the ‘Paisleys Thinlits’ and an adhesive pearl in the centre.
I hope you like the card anyway. At least I can share it with you.
We are having a fantastic time at Onstage. I so love catching up with my demonstrator friends. I can’t wait to share the exciting new products coming very soon. So watch this space. 🙂
Now just before I sign off today too since we are talking about Onstage and swapping. I posted Live on my business Facebook page yesterday about the craziness of swapping. You might be able to catch that there still if you head to my page. The link is in the right hand side bar. My first attempt at Facebook Live but I hope to bring more to you soon. 🙂
I hope you have an awesome weekend.

Here is another card using Holly Jolly Greetings. I have CASED this off Pinterest but I quite liked the idea. I am not sure who the original creator is.
The base is Mint Macaron. The snowflakes are stamped in Mint Macaron. The “JOY” is heat embossed in silver which gives a nice shiny finish. The “spots” are stamped in Smoky Slate. I liked how the ribbon is tucked behind the sentiment.
To do this cut a larger circle from your stamped Whisper White card. Wrap the Mint Macaron Sheer Linen Ribbon around the white card before adhering it to your card base. After you have heat embossed the “JOY” sentiment then cut with a smaller circle from the Layering Circles and raise it off your card with Dimensionals. Add some Rhinestones for the bling factor.
Thanks for visiting. Stop by again soon,
OK, some times these blog post titles gets a bit strange. BUT, well, what else do I call it?? 🙂
This card is using the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set which you will find in the Annual Catalogue. I looked over this set so many times in the catalogue but on our weekend I got to play with it and now I love it. I might have even bought my own set now!
The Base card is Dapper Denim. Hence the Dapper in the title 🙂
First off I Heat embossed in White Embossing Powder on to Whisper White card. Then sponged Dapper Denim ink over the card. I sponged it a bit heavier over the snowflakes. (maybe a bit too heavy, but anyway!). Ink it until you are happy with the colour. Then you can go over it with a tissue to wipe off the ink from the embossed areas. I really like the magic of this as you wipe over the images. It makes the images shine. I added some stars stamped in Dapper Denim over the card.
I wanted to add some copper to this. I matted the card onto some Copper Foil Sheet. Just a tip: I cut a rectangle from the centre of the copper mat so I don’t waste it as it is just hidden under the cardstock. I am sure you can have a use for that.
I cut a “merry” from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits from Copper foil too. The Christmas is from the Holly Jolly Greetings set. I thought it needed something else so added a Copper Mini Pinecone embellishment in the corner tied with some Baker’s Twine. I think I have been converted to copper too.
Hope you like it. Have a super wonderful day wherever you are.
Jenny
