Another different card for you today with the Beachy Little Christmas set.
The tree was coloured with the Watercolor Pencils. I did add some Wink of Stella to the larger shells although it is hard to see here. I added a strip of Red Glimmer Paper under the left edge of the white mat.
The Desiger Series Paper added to the Old Olive card base is from the Merry Little Christmas pack.
A simple, summery Christmas card.

Another Beachy Little Christmas card for you. This was one of the earlier cards I made with this set.
I have watercoloured the images with the pencils.
I will be honest, while I am happy with the colouring, it is just missing something. There is no pizzazz! No WOW! I think the sentiment is lost. While I did layer the sentiment on Silver Glimmer Paper, it is still not happening. Maybe I need to redo it? Maybe even a little sponging around the edges? What are your thoughts?
I thought I would show you this card anyway.
Thanks for stopping by.

This project for today’s Wednesday’s WOW! is a card we made at class a couple of weeks ago using the Stampin’ Blends. I thought it might be a good technique to share with you.
I have used the Lift Me Up set and heat embossed it with white embossing powder and then coloured it with the Blends markers.
I haven’t done a video as yet but I have an earlier tutorial from some time ago using the Blendablilities. They work the same way. To find out head -> HERE to see the blog post.
Happy Colouring!

The weather is warming up here and it is Summer this week. I thought it’s time to share some Beachy Little Christmas cards for you that I have been making over the last few weeks.
Here is the first one. I think this is my favourite one.
I heat embossed the shells and the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder on to Thick Whisper White card base. The shell sentiment is from the Beachy Little Christmas set and the “Merry Christmas” is from Star of Light set. The white squares are cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and then I cut gold squares from the Layering Squares Framelits.
I wrapped around some Gold Thread before layering it on white card layered on a Gold Foil Sheet mat. I think the gold makes it classy.
Thanks for stopping by,

A friend of mine turned 50 this week and we went to her birthday celebrations last night. Of course I wanted to make a card but sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming with what stamps to use or what colours. In our team group this week we have had a challenge to use a stamp set we haven’t used before. I could choose from a few different ones here. I have a number still uninked!! I went with the Blooms and Wishes set and used the Eclipse technique.
The colours used are Sweet Sugarplum, Fresh Fig, Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizzazz and Lemon Lime Twist. I picked those colours from a Colour combination off Pinterest. I added a little bling with the Rhinestones.
Hope your weekend is going great. Today I have been at a Christmas market all day so it was a busy one but always great talking to people about stamping right. 🙂

I forgot to show you some Thank You cards I have made recently for customers and team members. These are all little 10cmx10cm (4″x4″) cards. I like making these size cards.
This first one uses the Vertical Greetings set. I don’t use this set nearly as much as I should. It is so cute. I coloured the stamps with the markers to get the different colours. One heart version was in Sweet Sugarplum and the other heart version was in Flirty Flamingo. A little Linen Thread bow finished them off. These cards where made for my customers a couple of months ago. Yes it has taken this long to show you.
This next little cutie card using the Baby Bear stamp set was for some of my team members for an online team event we had last month. I wanted to send out a “Thanks” for them sharing in the Facebook group event.
Side Note: Hey! Have you considered joining Stampin’ Up!?? Not just for the discount (although that’s great!) but for all the team fun and the sharing and the creating and the …. Really, so many reasons why!
Let me know if you would like more information or stop by my page on this blog for “join my team”. See the link at the top of my blog.
This Thank You card was for a challenge on my Facebook page I held last month to share a card that my readers have made and I sent out a prize at random. The card was made up with some “bits” I had on my desk from another project. They come in handy sometimes. This one was using Happy Birthday Gorgeous set.
Mmm! I am noticing a pink theme here (sorry Lynda). Unintentional I assure you. 🙂

Have a great day and for all my US blog readers wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the special celebrations. We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia but I think it’s great to take some time and be Thankful for all that we have.

For this week’s WATCH IT WEDNESDAY #12 I came across this video from Stampin’ Up! using the 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. There are a number of these in the catalogue along with the regular Embossing Folders.
There are a couple of tips to remember when using the 3D ones that I thought it might be good to share this with you to help you get a deeper, crisper impression on your card. I hope you find this helpful.
I don’t know about you but I always forget to mist my card when I am using these folders.
Now this video used the lovely Layered Leaves but this week two of the 3D folders are on special for Extravaganza week. These are the Cable Knit and the Hexagons 3D.
The Cable Knit folder is 30% off this week at $11.90. See that in store->HERE.
The Hexagons Folder is 10% off at $14.40. See that in store -> HERE.
Shop for these or any other of the products reduced during Extravaganza week from 20th – 27th November. See all the details in the previous blog post.
