Santa’s Sleigh Vignette Card/Decor

Sometimes inspiration hits in the middle of the night and I can’t sleep until I’ve written it down or created a prototype: That was certainly the case with this Wintery Christmas card that transforms into a tabletop decoration!

You don’t need to lose sleep over it though, because here is the list of supplies you will need to create your own: 

Autumn Color Challenge

There is a briskness to the air in the mornings now, and it makes me hungry for Autumn! It is my favorite time of year…thus, I believe it is time for a color challenge!

Here’s what I created using my color challenge and the Global Design Team sketch #GDP052 (when I really should have been working on my newsletter…but I’m the queen of procraftination!): 

Try your hand at a Stampin’ Up! creation using these lovely colors and tag them with #CJCC (Creative Juice Color Challenge) and PLEASE share your creations over on my Creative Juice Facebook Page before September 17th for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to spend in the new Holiday Catalog!

Birthday Card: Challenge Accepted

Couldn’t resist the TGIF challenge this week because I have a LOT of fabulous “It’s My Party” Designer Series Paper that needs to be used up and what better way than to color block?
Here is the card (demonstrated live on my FB page during Lunch with Loni today):

 And a birthday card (just like a lady) needs a little bling, so of course I used the gold glimmer paper for the numbers!

Product List

DID YOU KNOW? I am live on FB each Monday at lunchtime (12:30 MST) sharing crafty stuff with you like this card? And you can also find me on Periscope a few times each week (working on making a set time there, too).

Bloomin’ Gift Jar (+Tutorial)

While I enjoy making cards, my favorite things to create are both beautiful and useful. So this idea came to me while on vacation and would be perfect for Mother’s Day as well as the birthday version I created here:

 Bloomin' Gift Jar Tutorial
I did a Periscope as I was making this (yep, I’m there as Creative Juice by Loni) and some of the ideas to fill it were M&M’s, Jelly Beans, Buttons, Love Notes, Prayers, Soup Mix, Cookie Mix and Ideas. What would you fill it with? 

I have a tutorial for you so you can re-create it too (click on link or any of the jar photos to download a .pdf instruction sheet) To order any of the supplies, please shop in my Stampin’ Up! Store and remember to do this so I can send you a thank you card: 
If you create a gift jar inspired by this tutorial, will you share it with me over on my Facebook Page? I’d love to see your version! 

Thanks for visiting and have a BLOOMIN’ marvelous day!

A Gift Bag for the New Mr. & Mrs.

Is your refrigerator covered with wedding invitations like mine? 
You need to make a few of these to have on hand: Just drop in a gift and go! 

I’m kind of in love with the new Mint Macaron In-Color for 2015-2016: It’s so elegant! Paired with the new Tip-Top Taupe (another new In-Color) it’s a perfect marriage of color (pun intended). The gorgeous Dotted Lace trim comes in all 5 of the new hues, too. I picked up the handled-bag at the dollar store, but everything else can be found in my online store.

And if you don’t have the Bow Builder Punch, order it immediately. Seriously.

Serendipity that this coincides with the #TGIFC08 challenge and co-ordinates with their colors, too:

Thanks for checking in and wishing you wonderful weddings!
