Watercolour Wonder Christmas

I did warn you I have been in full blown Christmas mode, right?

It started last week when I made these samples with new Watercolour Wonder Simply Created kit.  It is simply amazing!

135869 $30.95
This kit includes (almost) everything needed to create 20 beautiful cards including envelopes.  The only thing you will need it a few re-inkers  (Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana), Bermuda Bay ink pad and the Watercolour Winter Too stamp set.

I will be hosting a Christmas card workshop bee to prep all these pieces and assemble some cards in late November so watch for more info on this fun day!

Check out a few of the steps needed to create these lovely watercoloured cards.


Using the paint brush provided, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler inks. I was a watercolouring fool!
And the letters to make another card (check out all the dif languages and extra letters too).

Best tip ever:  Apply Tombow to the back of the mini letters and attach twine to the back.  Let dry and then punch out letters.  Voila!  Letters perfectly spaced and attached to the string.

These great little die cut pieces are ready for stamping.

Happy Monday and some Christmas????

Yep, I was in full blown Christmas mode this past week if you can believe it.  I think I have heard more than 3 times that it is less that 90 days til Christmas and it almost makes me want to  . . .  well, you know.

Here is a fun card I made for my Blendabilities club peeps.

 I used the Open Heart stamp set for the branch and the sentiment is from Watercolour Winter Too.

A little fussy cutting around the Christmas Bauble and voila! 

I have tons of new Christmas card samples but I'm most excited to share my WOW class samples on Wednesday!  

Be sure to check back then to register for the coolest WOW class!

Coffee, Cookie and Cards!

Sorry this wasn't posted earlier!  I was so excited about my new class I forgot to get a blog post ready.

I was all ready to go early this morning for my new Coffee, Cookie and Cards class and it was SO MUCH FUN!

 It was a success!  I loved smelling coffee in my house (as I don't drink coffee).  I can't wait for tonight's class and next month too!  

Not only did I get to share my love of card making I got to bake as well too!  There have been no complaints from my family that I HAVE to bake cookies once per month.   Remember I'm accepting recipe requests too!

This month I made Oatmeal Crispies recipe from my good friend Tammy.

 Spots are limited but if you'd like to join me next month at 7pm let me know!

Four Feathers - at the SU Fall Conference

I'm not entirely sure where the last 72 hours went but phew they are gone and it's Monday again!

I had a fun weekend at Stampin UP Canada's Fall Conference and I can't believe it's over already!  I had a great time with demos from all over Calgary, southern Alberta and even BC!  It was great to spend time with like minded stamp loving folks, meeting new friends and catching up with seasoned ones!

We made these outstanding projects designed by Cathy Caines!





I can't wait to get my hands on this set and framelits!

Paper Pumpkin extension samples

Hope you had a fantastic weekend!  We spent ours with the start of ball hockey season :) and Kids camp!  It was a fun time had by all the kids and I still have space for more kids!  If you know of anyone from ages 8 - 14 that might want to join in the fun please let them know about my Kids camps!  We meet one Sunday a month and it's a commitment from Oct - June!

One of our large projects this month was to re-create projects using a past Paper Pumpkin kit - Glittered Greetings.  Because I am a current Paper Pumpkin subscriber I can purchase past kits for a great price!

 
Here were my creations to jump start the kids creative juices!  I LOVE it because they didn't use my ideas at all!




Here are there creations!

Work of Art week!

Hope you had a great week!  We went on a whirlwind trip to Trail to celebrate Pete's mom's birthday.  It was a record - we spent 19 hours in Trail and then turned around to come home - Phew!  

Today will be catch up day for me and getting ready for a full week of school and homework, the start of my stamp clubs and yes, hockey starts this weekend too!  Love it!

To kick off my Work of Art week I am going to share with you a week's worth of cards using one stamp set.  This Work of Art stamp set may not look like much at first glance but there are some amazingly creative people on Pintrest and beyond!  



I cased this one from my friend Angela McKay.   I think it took my all of about 3 min to create stamp this one!  I love how I just used stamps and inks, it's time to get back to basics baby!
