Snowflakes....

Happy Friday everyone!

We are preparing on the East Coast for Hurricane Joaquin which thankfully will only be dumping a lot of rain on my neck of the woods.  However, it has been raining for the last 2 days non-stop, so we are keeping watch for Flash Floods.  Scary stuff!  Anyone in the mood for snowflakes?  I think I have mentioned this before, I love snowflakes, I love watching the snow fall, but I hate the snow and being cold.  Odd I know, but it is what it is.  Snowflakes just have such a beauty to them and when you watch them fall everything seems so peaceful.  I have been focusing on Fall projects, but I made this card for a card class I had last week and wanted to make a video for it.


I love the simplicity of this card and the focus on the single snowflake.  It is so easy to create and to mass produce.  I used the Whisper White Craft Ink for the snowflake, but you could easily stamp this in silver ink or heat emboss for added texture and shine.  Here is a video showing how I created this quick clean and simple card:



As always, all the supplies used to make this card project can be purchased in my online store by clicking on the link to the right.  If you have any questions, please email me!  Have a safe and fun weekend!

October Stamp of the Month

Hello everyone!  I promise I am trying to be better about posting, but I swear the time just gets away from me.  Does that happen to you?  I know I can't be the only one with WAY TOO MUCH on my plate.

Last week, I sent an email to my online and monthly Stamp Club Members and asked them to vote on October's Stamp Set.  There were four choices: For all Things, Thankful Forest Friends, Reason for the Season and Flurry of Wishes.  I welcomed the transfer of decision making as I was really having a hard time deciding which set to use.  I was shocked at how many actually chose the Thankful Forest Friends and how few chose a Christmas set.  I was certain that everyone would want to start in on Christmas.  So with out further ado....our October Featured stamp will be Thankful Forest Friends.


No Samples to sneak peek yet.  I didn't actually have this set so once my order comes in, I will post the sneak peek and additional supplies needed.

If you are interested in joining my online or monthly in-person Stamp of the Month Club, please let me know and I would be happy to add you to the distribution list and give you all the details.  I might even be offering a discount to new members.  Be sure to email me for details.

Also, my holiday card series will be starting in just a couple of weeks.  I am so excited about this year's stamps and can't wait to get started!

Thanks,

Cindy

Your So Sweet Mini Treat Bag

Happy New Catalog Day!  Are you as excited as I am?  I couldn't wait to place my order this morning, now I just need to be patient for it to arrive.  Although I didn't splurge for the Next Day Shipping, I did go the extra and paid for 3 day.  So I will sit quietly until my order comes, NOT!  I will however post some fun projects for you this week with products from the new catalog.  First up is this sweet little treat bag.


I love goodie bags, anything really that makes it easy to give little gifts to those you think about.  The details:  Mini Treat Bags Thinlits Dies, Cherry on Top 6x6 DS Paper Stack, and the new Your So Sweet Stamp Set which coordinates with the die set.  SO FUN!  The video below shows how I put this together.

Painted Petals One Layer Mother's Day Card

Hi Everyone, 

Sorry for the delay in posting, I have been busy as usual, but hope you haven't missed any of my videos.  Even if I don't post on the Blog, I typically get at least 2 video's up each week. This card is a one layer card and the sentiment could be changed for many occasions. I just chose this for Mother's Day. I also use the rock and roll technique for this card, but sponge daubers work much better for inking the edges.



Supplies Used:
Whisper White CS
Blushing Bride Ink
Strawberry Slush Ink
Wild Wasabi Ink
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well this fine day (said in my best Irish Brogue).  It's St. Patty's Day and today every one is a little Irish ;o).  I am so ready for spring and with Easter right around the corner, there are lots of things to start working on.  I have been busy creating, but nothing has really been what I wanted, so I have been in a slump.  So this week, I participated in a Card Sketch Challenge over on Chic n Clique (it is a paid subscription site hosted by Angie Juda, my upline).  The sketch itself was actually very simple in design which also left a bit of issue because I was stuck with the do I make it as is, or do I change it up?  Here is the card...


I did actually stay with the overall design but changed a few of the elements, but I am so happy with how it turned out.  I am also really excited at how quickly I was able to pull it together.  If you are interested, there is a video I posted on my YouTube Channel yesterday showing how I created this card which you can see here...


As always all the supplies are listed below and can be ordered by clicking on the links.

Thanks for stopping by!
