Musical Season

It was love at first sight when I saw the Musical Season Stamp Set in the Holiday Catalog! I love everything about this set. Plus, you can purchase the coordinating Musical Instrument Framelits with the set in a bundle and save 10%!

For this card, I've used the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper pack is all black & white, and all music related. It is a little lighter weight than our other dsp, so it doesn't add a lot of bulk to your projects. You get 24 sheets in a package; 4 each of 6 double-sided designs. This was a "must have" on my pre-order list!

Here is a close up showing the detail of the card. I added a little ink splatter using my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, added Silver Thread, and White Baker's Twine, a couple of Pearls, and Mini Dimensionals to pop up the silhouette of the Little Drummer Boy.

You can see this sample, and many more when you join me for my Holiday Open House, Sunday, August 27, from 1pm-3pm. I will have a free Make & Take, food, and you'll want to be sure to pick up your copy of the new Holiday Catalog. Hope to see you here!

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping ~

Seasonal Chums

These little characters in the Seasonal Chums Stamp Set are too adorable! Here I've created a Halloween Treat, and two simple Christmas tags. I've also created a video ~ my second ~ showing you how easy it is to make these.

The video is posted on my Business Facebook page. Click HERE to view it. I'm having difficulties with my YouTube channel. Hopefully I can get all this technical stuff figured out soon, and post all my videos to YouTube.

Thanks for stopping by & happy stamping!

Home Life

For today's project, I decided to use a set that I think may get skipped right over in the Annual Catalog. Home Life, on page 148. It takes up the entire page, and may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but it's really adorable!

This is a Two-Step set, and is kind of amazing when it all comes together. The stamps are numbered, so you know exactly what order to stamp them in. How great is that! It's also Photopolymer, so you can see exactly where you are stamping. 

It has coordinating Framelits Dies so you can easily cut out the house, banner and flowers. Another great thing about this set ~ you can add dimension by using the coordinating framelit to cut out all those little flowers at once! The new Mini Dimensionals are the perfect size to pop them on.

Here is a close up.

This set is very versatile too. You can welcome newcomers to the neighborhood, congratulate someone on their new home, or congratulate new parents on the arrival of their new little one. I can see this set being a go to set in my studio. How about you?

You Are Remarkable!

This is my favorite card from my class today. I have had my eye on this set ~ Remarkable You ~ for a long time. When I earned some freebies ~ one of the awesome perks of being a Demonstrator ~ I decided to get it. I love the boldness of the large flower images! I'm also loving this color combination ~ Berry Burst, Marina Mist, and Wild Wasabi.

This set would be great for the Water Color Technique, or using Blender Pens and Ink to add a splash of color. Not a fan of coloring? No problem! I used the swishes from the Work of Art set to fill in the flower and stem. No water coloring necessary!

If you like this card, I would love to have you join me for my Quick & Cute class. This class is held the first Monday of each month. The first session is from 11am to 1pm, and the evening session runs from 6pm to 8pm. September is a little different with Labor Day being on the first Monday. Classes will be held on Monday, September 11. You can find out all the details, and register for the September class at www.debbied.stampinup.net.

Hope to see you here in September!

More Traditional Carols of Christmas

For a more traditional look, I chose Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke for this card. I love the versatility of this set. By choosing different colors, you can create so many different variations with the two different sayings and accessories that come in this set.

To get the two colors for the saying, I stamped direct to the paper with Always Artichoke, and then again on a scrap of Whisper White with Cherry Cobbler. I used the Classic Label Punch to punch out the word "the" and used the new Mini Dimensionals to pop it up! Have you seen these in the new catalog? You've got to check them out! They are perfect for adding so many of the smaller elements to your projects. No more cutting the regular ones in half!

Notice the decorative edge? That was created using the Card Front Builder Dies. These edges are such a fun way to add interest to any card, and so easy to use! And so versatile! They're not just for Christmas. They can be used for almost any occasion!

This set; Carols of Christmas is available now, as an Early Release, before the Holiday Catalog goes live on September 1, 2017. Get yours now, along with the coordinating Card Front Builder Thinlit Dies, save 10%, and start your Christmas card creating early!

Non-Traditional Carols of Christmas

There are so many things I love about this new bundle; Carols of Christmas. First of all, you can get it now, and start your Christmas card making early. How great is that! And, that little deer ~ so cute! For my first project using this set, I decided to go non-traditional. I must say, I love how it turned out.

I used Soft Suede and Powder Pink. Love this combo! The background is stamped with the new Sheet Music Background stamp, and I had to add a touch of glitz with my Wink of Stella to the tree.

These items are available now during the Early Release. Save 10% when you purchase the Bundle which includes the Carols of Christmas Stamp Set and coordinating Card Front Thinlits.
