Sneak Peek Double Wonder One Sheet Wonder Class - Holiday Style

Hi Everyone,

Today is an exciting day! I have begun to design for my upcoming Double Wonder/One Sheet Wonder Holiday Style Specialty class. Earlier, I hosted a Frames & Flowers Double Wonder class and it was so much fun. When I saw the A little Bit Festive 12" x 12" Specialty papers in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, I knew I had to host another fabulous class. 

 

For this class, I wanted to start sharing before the release of the upcoming mini catalog. The Frames & Flowers Specialty paper became unavailable quickly and I had to pivot. I want to be sure and order for this class right away. Especially with the included products for the class.

A Little Bit Festive 12" x 12" includes three sheets of double sided DSP and three sheets of fabulous holiday ephemera parts and pieces. From layering pieces to other images, this is a fabulous package of crafting goodness! In the class, you will receive this wonderful package as well as those super cute peppermint candy embellishments you see on my sleigh and card.

Details for this Specialty Class: Participants will receive:

• 1 package of A little Bit Festive 12" x 12" secialty Paper
• 1 package of the Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints
• 1 Standard Stamp case (stores your ephemera)
• Supplies to create 12 awesome projects 
• Plus 1 bonus project

There are so many possibilites for creating with these products. Everyone has the opportunity to pick and choose which ephemera pieces to use, or which direction to have cards. I love the Double One Sheet Wonder designs for such quick and easy cardmaking.

For this class, you can use any holiday sentiments that you have for "To Go" options. I will be featuring the new Christmas Labels Bundle from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. The dies in this bundle are so interesting and give your sentiments a lot of character and depth.

You can really see the festive papers, ephemera, and that stunning Christmas Label. I cannot wait to design more layouts and cards for this class. If you want to find out more information, or reserve your seat for In Person or a kit "To Go", refer to and fill out my class form as soon as possible. 

You can watch my Saturday Stampin' video to see more of the products included in this class. I also have additional products that you will need for this class if you choose the "To Go" option. 

I hope you enjoyed my couple of sneak peek projects for the upcomoing class. Be sure to check out the class form and reserve your space or kit. This is going to be a popular class for sure!

Happy Stampin',

It's Time to Play Freshly Made Sketch challenge #649 and the Upcoming Holiday Mix & Match Products

 

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in today. I created one of the cards above for my Weekly Wednesday FB Live, but I just couldn't stop, so I created a couple more cards. The layout of thee cards also go with the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #649 for the week. 

If you follow me, you know I just love sketch layouts and challenges. Sometimes the hardest part of creating is deciding on a layout, so when the sketch challenges come out, I'm all for it. Stampin' Up! has even been publishing sketch layouts in their publications to help make crafting easier. 

Both of the cards I created were inspired by the FMS#649 challenge. I created with the upcoming Mix & Match products from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. This is an expanded offering into the holidays. There are current Mex & Match products available that are all occasions. 

This reindeer card I created during my Weekly Wednesday FB Live stream. I was sharing products from my pre-order for the upcoming mini catalog.

It is so fun playing with the Mix & Match products! I decided to create cards with each of the colors in the Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes. Another awesome thing about these products is that I didn't do any stamping and my projects are beautiful!

I hope you enjoyed my projects. Be sure to check out all the participation in this week's Freshly Made #649 Sketch Challenge. You can even create your own and upload to the challenge blog. 

These Mix & Match products will be available beginning September 4th. The September-December 2024 Mini catalog products are available September 4th - January 6th. If you want to see more upcoming products, simply watch my unboxing video from earlier this week.

In my unboxing, I shared all of the new and wonderful Designer Series Papers. I'm taking reservations for my mini catalog paper share. You will receive 1/4 package of every Designer Series Papers in the Mini Catalog. You can check out all the details and reserve your pacakge. 

Thanks again for stopping in. I would appreciate if you would let me know about my projects today and which one you like best. Be sure to follow and share my blog too. 

Until Next Time...

Slimline Saturday with Frosted Forest Bundle for All Seasons

 

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in. I'm having so much fun with the monthly Slimline Sheetload of Cards templates from Call me Crafty Al. I follow her on YouTube and look forward for all the Sheetload of Cards each month. 

I am so glad I purchased the Frosted Forest Bundle from the Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives. This is such a versatile bundle with the coordinating Decorative Masks. I paired this with the stunning Thoughtful Journey 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP). 

There are so many stunning designs in the Thoughtful Journey DSP. It was designed for the seasons, so you can create beautiful projects for all seasons. The decorative masks add so much depth to the stamp images. I love being able to use the blending brushes to add the color and details. It's so easy!

This card feels like it's a cool, dusk time of day. I used Calypso Coral for the tree color. This is one of the coordinating colors in the DSP. There are three masks for the tree. The trunk, base color of the tree, and added details. I simply used Calyso Coral for two of the masks.

Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow are also coordinating colors in the DSP. It is so easy to create using the colors in the DSP. I often decide on my base colors off of the DSP colors. Eveything coodinates so well this way. 

I love how rich looking this version of the slimline card is. The tree was done with old olive which isn't one of the colors in the DSP, but it works so well. Mossy Meadow would have been too dark I think. 

The Thoughtful Journey 6" x 6" DSP is part of the Annual Catalog Designer Series Paper Sale. There are so many beautiful papers to choose from. I would suggest the Thoughtful Journey DSP and the Frosted Meadow 12" x 12" DSP. These would coodinate so well with the Frosted Forest Bundle.

Thanks again for stopping in. Be sure to redeem any Bonus Coupons you earned last month and get some more savings with the Designer Series Paper Sale too. All the products I used are listed below. Which version of the card did you like best? Be sure to comment and share my blog. I appreciate you.

Until Next Time...

Saturday Stampin' with Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #647

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in today! I'm glad you are here. Today is a double crafting theme. I've uploaded my Saturday Stampin' #satmornmakes and #2crafters1design video, but also created using the current Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #647. If you follow me, you know I love sketch layouts. It makes creating great projects so easy!

The Freshly Make Sketch Challenge #647 is a great one.  I really like to off set my focal points, so I really wanted to create with this one. 

One of the things I really like about the Filled with Fun Bundle is that you have so many options when creating. There are dies for all of the images and wagon "builder" dies add so much more creativity. Today I decided to stamp the wagon, wheels, and handle for my project.

This card is so bright and sunny! You can see all the detail on the wagon and its parts. I think the presents are just so cute! 

Always add that bit of pizazz to the inside of your cards as well. It can add such a great touch. The banner stamp and die is also a great part of this bundle. 

I hope you enjoyed my creation today. Be sure to check out the other creations for the FMS #647 challenge. It's fun to see what other crafters create. 

Check back later this week for more fun projects and that August 6th begins the Annual Catalog Designer Paper Sale. I'll share projects with some of my favorite papers. 

Be sure to follow and share. Until next time...

Happy Stampinp',
