Yeti to party!

This Yeti isn't scary at all!  He's ready to party for a birthday or for Christmas.  I knew I was going to buy this stamp set the moment I saw it in the catalogue and then Stampin Up! came out with dies to go with it!  The dies are retired but they're on the clearance rack so you can still get them.  The stamp set is retiring at the end of the month.  As such, they are both on sale for  60% off!!  Grab them while you can!

Here's the card I made on my live video this morning.  It has lots of texture, just like I like - glitter paper, velvet paper and heat embossing.  I was inspired by a pin from StampedAF on Pinterest.  What a cute card she made!  Here's my take.

Scrap buster sunburst card

 I got the inspiration for this card from one that my friend Rose gave to me.  It was made using completely different colours but the technique is the same.  You can find your creative inspiration anywhere!  I kind of want to start making Christmas cards but September seems too early.  So I'm using the scraps from this month's Super Stamp Saturday kit.  You start with a wedge about 1" wide and a bit over 4" long.  Then you just keep adding wedges till you're happy.  Then I added some glitter washi tape. 😁

You can see the video of how I made it here https://www.facebook.com/stampingwithrenee/videos/499879468650147

Bendy card fun fold

I've seen lots of bendy card fun folds but this one is my current favourite.  It's been quite popular in the SU team I'm part of.  First Rose made one with the All Bundled Up stamp set and then Denise make one with the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set.  I used the By My Side stamp set for my bendy card.  You can use just about any stamp set!  I liked mixing 3 different Designer Series Papers on this card.  They seemed to work well together - what do you think?  To see how I made it, go to my FB page www.facebook.com/stampingwithrenee

Old Olive base: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" scored at 2-3/4"

Christmas Scottie bundle

 I love stamps that have punches to go with them.  It makes it so easy to create!  So this Scottie set was on my wish list since the holiday catalogue came out.  It has a very Christmasy feel but I wasn't quite ready for Christmas cards.  So I present to you Fall Scotties!

Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper

Are we ready for Autumn?  I'm not ready to let go of summer yet.  So this is a post about beautiful colours but not Autumn yet. 😁 The Rustic Harvest DSP reminds me of my Granny.  She loved these colours!  We're using this paper for September's Super Stamp Saturday.  So I sat down to design my card and made a few before I settled on the one I will teach.  This one is a favourite from my designing session.  I featured it in my FB live video this morning.  Head over here www.facebook.com/stampingwithrenee to see how I made it.  

Isn't this paper cozy and gorgeous!  Order yours here https://www.stampinup.ca/products/rustic-harvest-12-x-12-30-5-x-30-5-cm-designer-series-paper

Goodies from the new catalogue!

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I get to order from the new catalogue a whole month early.  That's one of my favourite perks!  My preorder arrived Monday night, just in time to design a card for my Tuesday morning FB live video.  I used 3 new stamp sets to create my card because they all just went together so well!  Bottled Happiness, Framed Occasions, and Happiness Abounds.  

With a new catalogue comes new In Colours. Have you seen them??  Which colour is your favourite?  Mine is Parakeet Party, of course. I used a bit of that ribbon on my card.  

I mainly focused on the Happiness Abounds set with it's gorgeous matching dies called Blooming Happiness.  The lattice on the left side is stunning!  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think?  Will these things be on your wish list? 

Hand-Penned Memories and More

 For my video this morning I wanted to showcase one of my favourite things from the catalogue.  The Memories and More card packs were designed with scrapbooking in mind and they make quick easy cards when combined with the coordinating cards and envelopes pack.  When the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set was first released I fell in love with it!  The stamps and dies are in the new annual catalogue but the card pack and envelopes are retiring.  I played with them all week and came up with 9 cards and a double page scrapbook layout.  And there's LOTS more product left to make more cards etc!  Don't miss out on this beautiful product!
