Stampin’ Up! Signs of Santa

Hi Friends,

Ho-ho-HO! This adorable Stampin’ Up! stamp set Signs of Santa makes me LAUGH!

Here is the card I made all by myself! HA HA HA!

Stampin' Up! Signs of Santa card

FIrst, I love the expressions on ALL the elves and Mr and Mrs Claus!

Look at this little impish elf!

He’s popped up with a few Dimensionals.

I LOVE the predominant color palette – Poppy Parade and Garden Green. Festive and bright!

It was fun making this one by using the Santa’s Signpost Framelits and the Santa’s Workshop DSP.

My message was used with the Silver Foil Paper and the Merry Christmas Thinlit Dies.

Yet another option for holiday cards!

I hope you like it and if you have any questions, please contact me!

Epic Celebration

Hi friends,

Here is a card I made for my grandson.  It was made using the Epic Celebrations stamp set and Pacific Point ink with Aqua Painters. 

I just adore this Epic Celebrations stamp set, but you can’t buy it. You can ONLY earn it for FREE!! 

With a qualifying order, you can get this stamp set for FREE as a Sale-A-Bration 2018 option..

Stampin' Up! Epic Celebraton with Brusho colour crystals and headhones  Great teenage card by Barbara Lash of Stampin' With Barbara

This card was made on a thick Whisper White card base, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. 

I then added a 5 1/4″ x 4″ layer of Pacific Point card stock that had been stamped with the dots in Pacific Point ink.

Next I used Pacific Point Ink with the Aqua painter to ‘splash’ on color as I liked it.

Using Memento Ink, I stamped the headset and the message — added some more color and voila!

My grand son loved it  AND that’s saying something for a 16yr. old!

Sharing Sweet Thoughts for RMHC

Hi Friends,

Did you know that Stampin' Up! has a partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities around the country? 

Each year they have a stamp set dedicated to this cause.  For each one of these stamp sets sold, Stampin' Up! makes a donation to RMHC. 

The set that was released with the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog is called Sharing Sweet Thoughts.

Sharing-sweet-thoughts-ladybug-starawberries

This cute set can make a sweet and simple card with some simple layers and just a little bit of stamping and coloring. (Don't forget to add a little something to the envelope to coordinate – those little extra touches help alot!)

Sharing-sweet-thoughts-ladybug-starawberries

You can step this card up by adding some of the Stampin' Up Window Sheet acetate over the jar making it look like actual glass.  Add a little gold trim to the jar lid and some ribbons across the bottom for an adorable "stepped up" card.

Sharing-sweet-thoughts-ladybug-starawberries

If you like the textured look – the Ruffled Dynamic textured impressions embossing folder has been used on the Real Red layer of this card.  Again, the Stampin' Up! Window Sheet acetate gives the jar a glass look.  This time the jar was "left open" giving those ladybugs a way out. Some linen thread and black bakers twine add even more texture.

I copied /tweaked those cards from designs I saw on Pinterest!

A change in color and orientation, add a few layers and you get a whole new stepped up look!

— this is where we add the pic of the director you met and tell about the card(s) you gave her —

This picture is at our NEW RMH in Springfield, Massachusetts. Betty Saccoccia is with Skochii, the Director of the House. We gave Skochii those cards to show her how fun and easy they are to make –and of COURSE using the RMHC stamp set!

Do you want to know more about the partnership between Ronald Mc Donald House Charities and Stampin' Up! check out their website.
