Perfectly Wrapped swap card

Here is another great swap card from Lisa Althouse. I love getting these happy cards in the mail once a month. 

 I love the little arrows to make a pattern in the background. So cool! And the colours -  Flirty Flamingo, Mint Macaroon and Basic Gray. She did a fantastic job using the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set to make a super cute card.

Marquee Messages

The Marquee Messages stamp set (pg 111) stood out to me right away but wasn't sure how to use it.

Once I had a chance to play with this set I love pairing it with the Pop of Pink Washi tape.

141727 Marquee Messages $26.00

 Here is the full stamp set.

 Plus a few extra samples from Stampin' UP!

 Thanks for checking in.

Pop of Paradise swap card

Another swap card to share! This time a feathered friend instead of a Foxy friend. Are you seeing the flamingo craze as much as I am?

 I love this card from Karen Duke and so great how she paired it with the Swirly Scribbles framelits. Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo such a great summer colour combo too!

I spent much of the day organizing all my holiday catalogues and upcoming classes.  So excited to get these out to you so start checking your mailboxes next week!

Foxy Friends swap card

Hi there!

Finally some nice weather here at home!

I have been lucky to be participating in a swap with some fellow demonstrator friends. 

This funky fold card is from Jenn Tinline using the new Foxy Friends stamp set and A Little Foxy Designer Series paper.

 What I LOVE most about this card is that it folds flat for mailing but is super adorable when you can pop it up to display.

Thanks for checking in.

Cheers, 
K

Affectionately Yours thank you!

Hope you had a great weekend! Good and bad weather which makes for good and bad for card making days :) Some days you want to be outside and others you just want to stamp and get inky!

I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful card yesterday and I'm excited to share it with you.

Created by Deborah S

I love how she stamped the flowers behind the main flower and how it's on Crumb Cake and not white! I'm going to have to try that on my next card. And did you notice the copper embossing powder - WOW!

Hope you have lots of smiles in store for your day today. Thank you Deborah for my lovely card.

Cheers, 
K

More downline samples!

I couldn't wait to share these with you so I'm posting them Tuesday instead!

This colour combo is one I'm going to use for sure! Flirty Flamingo, Mint Macaron and So Saffron.  And look at those amazing 3D flowers make with one of our flower punches.  Beautiful!

Created by Velma

And this one by Shelley is just stunning.  Peekaboo Peach, Emerald Envy, possibly Watermelon Wonder? Or maybe Calypso Coral. Not sure but try both and see if you can create your own wonderful creation! I just love the flowers on this one!

I have a new WOW class to announce tomorrow so be sure to check back. June already, that is crazy!

Meet the In Colors Birthday card

Oops, sorry this post is a bit late but a late night band concert interrupted my evening and I forgot to post this.

This weekend is my downline Stamp and Share and I can't wait to make these fun In Color sample sheets with my team. We get together once a month to create, chat about Stampin UP and eat some goodies too!  It's great fun!

 Hopefully we will have time to make this fun In Color card.  I received one very similar to this in a swap with last year's In Colors.

I used the Festive Flower builder punch for the flames, White baker's twine for the wicks and a few new goodies too.

Wonderful swaps from wonderful friends

Hope you have had a great weekend! We had some great family time including Captain America, game night and a family dinner.  Those are the best weekends :)

I received some great cards from some fellow demonstrators across Canada. Each month we send each other cards and it's nice to get happy mail in amongst the junk mail. Plus it's a great way to get card samples with stamp sets I don't have.

 

This beautiful card was created by Alison S with

Jenn T created this sparkly sample with Going Global.

Karen D made this incredible card with Wetlands.

Lisa A made this fantastic card with Watercolour Wings.

And here is mine with the background stamp

Hope you enjoyed these fun cards.  I'm excited for the end of the month and my mailbox to be full of more cards again!

Happy "wet' May long weekend!

Despite the weather I think we can all say we are happy it's finally raining in Alberta!

This week has been a mixed bag of stamping and computer work but I am happy to say STAMPING has taken over my desk! I won't share the next WOW projects yet but suffice it to say they are pretty darn cool!

Here is a sneak peek at the new In Colors in the catalogue. I had a chance to use them this week and Dapper Denim and Sweet Sugarplum are pretty amazing. I'll admit the Emerald Envy was a little hard to match with other colours but I think after I see some more colour combos it will be equally as amazing.

Thanks to Lisa A for this great photo

 I am participating in a swap with some fellow Canadian demonstrators and I was lucky enough to receive this one from Allison O, in my downline.  She had a "pre-preview" of some of the products due to her Artisan design team status :) I received this card in April and I love the way the new In colors look together.

 Next week I'll share some other amazing cards from my demonstrator friends and maybe a sneak peek or two at some other goodies.

Cheers,

The one that didn't make the cut ...

It was pretty hard to make cards for this month's Coffee, Cookies and Card class because I lost my mojo.  My stamping mojo!

It happens from time to time and I know it will eventually come back. It just doesn't always come back when you want it to.

So here is one of the cards that didn't make the cut for the class.  I love the colours but was struggling with the design.

 This might be a card in an upcoming class but unfortunately not this one.  What do you think?

Thanks for checking in! Wish me some more stamping mojo to come my way!

Cheers, 
K


 

Coffee, Cookies and Cards - May 31st

Hi all

Sorry I haven't been blogging in FOREVER! But for many reasons I haven't been stamping a ton. I hope to get back to stamping and blogging a few times a week at least.  I'd like to say I'm back to 5 days a week but I don't want to disappoint so watch for posts Mon, Wed and Friday for sure!

I have had a few questions regarding a WOW class for May but I opted not have one this month but I will be creating my June one soon.

But there will be a Coffee, Cookies and Cards class on May 31st and here are the samples.

Each of these cards use the new Swirly Scribbles framelits and the Swirly Bird stamp set. This will be available for purchase on June 1st so this is a great sneak peek at the products and new In Colors.

Join me for this fun class.  Cost is just $15 or free with a qualifying order.

Contact me today.

Cheers,

Birthday card swap - Masculine ideas

I'm excited to share with you some fantastic cards from my fabulous team members!

This weekend I hosted a Shoebox swap with my team members.  10 participants in all and now I have a great stash of new birthday cards to send!

What is a shoebox swap? It's where each person designs a quick card (10 min max I said) and we prep the supplies for each person to create one of each card. To cut down on the time to make each card I had each demo prep/stamp/die cut and emboss as much as possible.  It was PERFECT!

I knew I wanted to create some "boy" cards so here are a few ideas for you.

You've Got This card - Quick and easy

What a beautiful day it was in Calgary! And now it's time to break out the flower stamps! Pete noticed our grass is starting to green up too.  Uh oh! We know there is more snow to come . . . it's inevitable.

Sadly, I am in need of some sympathy cards so I grabbed the stamp set You've Got This and knew I could make a couple quickly.

A quick and simple but pretty card. If you are in a pinch you can create a small stack of cards with just a few supplies and in a few minutes.

Cheers,
