It's Monday and We Have FREE Shipping!

That's right! You heard me, we have a surprise FREE shipping today! Even Tucker did a back flip for FREE shipping! And really, who wouldn't? Believe it or not, shipping adds a chunk of change to your order total and to get it FREE, is UH-MAZING! As a matter of fact, I just turned in a HUGE order myself to take full advantage of this deal.
Seriously, if you have a few little things on your list that you need like trimmer blades and such, now is the time to grab them because who wants to pay $6.95 to ship a little $4 item? Or adhesive? Get it now with FREE shipping! And then there are the BIG orders where shipping is 10% of your order total...that can add up too. Like the Big Shot for instance, that's a $110 item, that alone is $11 to ship! So, seriously, if you have anything on your wishlist, today is the day to do it. And, if you use the Host Code: JP3M2GM4 and all combined orders total $150, you will be added to the drawing for the $15 Host Rewards!

Christmas in the Making

Happy Sunday! I hope you're all enjoying a quiet Sunday with family and friends. Tucker and I are enjoying a quiet afternoon. Unfortunately, had to send hubby off to work this afternoon so it's just us. But, on a positive note, the laundry is all caught up, the house looks pretty spiffy and is ready for the Christmas decorating to commence. I think this evening I'll start putting the smaller things out, then later in the week when hubby has some time off, we'll pull out the tree. The other positive is, I get to spend a little time in my craft room! I also got an early Christmas gift, a new PC. My desktop computer just died a few weeks ago leaving me with only my laptop to work with, which don't get me wrong, I am grateful to have, but Holy slowness! Anyhoo, I now have a new desktop that I have been doing the windows updates, downloading antivirus and all that good stuff. Oh, and learned that Microsoft retired Windows Movie Maker! Rut Ro...that is what I use for video editing! So, either I learn to use something else, or use the laptop and accept the fact that it will take 24-36 hours to upload tutorials...hmmmm?
Anyway, enough rambling. I want to share a cute card I did for the challenge on my FB page using the awesome stamp set, Christmas in the Making.
I love the softness of these non-traditional Christmas colors. For the card base, I used Soft Sky measuring 8.5" x 5.5" folded in half. I layered it with a piece of the DSP from the Christmas Around the World collection cut 4" x 5.25" and wrapped with a piece of White Classic Weave Ribbon and tied into a bow. I then cut 3 circles with the second largest Stitched Shapes circle framelit from Soft Sky, Whisper White and Basic Gray. Finally, I cut a second piece of Whisper White using the second smallest stitched circle and stamped the sentiment, from the Christmas in the Making stamp set, in Basic Gray ink. 
Quick and simple. I hope you enjoyed today's card. Feel free to leave a comment below, I would love to read your thoughts.

Another Season Like Christmas

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Wow, what a day it's been! We did a computer program upgrade at the hospital I work at for our patient documentation system! Can we say STRESSFUL with a capital S? What a process that is. Not to bore you but to give you just a little tiny glimmer, we had to shut the entire system down last night at 11pm, which meant getting every on duty hospital employee off the system once they "saved" their work. Then lock them out so no one could "sneak" back in and get them all onto the old fashioned paper documentation....this is where I chuckle, because I remember when we transitioned from paper medical records to electronic medical records approximately 11 years ago, and oh the moaning and groaning! Well now you should hear the moaning and groaning now when they have to go back to paper temporarily! You'd swear we were purposefully trying to make their lives miserable lol!Anyway, to make a long story short, we completed the upgrade about 5.5 hours ahead of schedule. Then we had to deal with the aftermath...that was the hardest part of all of this. But, on a good note, last night I had an amazing time with the ladies at the Williamstown Library last evening for our first class their. Now, tomorrow night is our class at LaRoma's Restaurant in Camden NY. I am so looking forward to it and here is one of the cards that we will be doing.


I love this Season Like Christmas stamp set. I think this tree is just beautiful and with the 3 step stamping has a 3D look.  The card base is Garden Green cut 5.5" x 8.5" scored and folded 4.25"; the DSP is cut 2.5" x 5.25" and Whisper White banner cut 2" x 5.25". I stamped the 1st tree layer in Pear Pizzazz, the tree trunk in Early Espresso and the 2nd tree layer in Garden Green. I added "snow" beneath the tree with Smoky Slate and stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and bannered the end with the Banner Triple Punch and wrapped the gold ribbon and tied a bow. I added the DSP and the banner to the card base to complete the card. To recreate the this card, you will need the materials below. I would love to see what you're creating so I invite you to join me on my FB page and if you would like to be in the know of specials, promotions and all the fun, join my mailing list here

Remarkable Ink Big Blog Hop - Holiday Tags

Welcome to this months Remarkable Ink Big Blog Hop for November 2017! I am so glad you could join me today. This month our theme is Holiday Tags.You may be just starting here at my blog, Katrina's Kreative Heart, with me, Katrina Wolfe, or you may have come from the person before me in the list. Either way, if you get off track at any time, the full lineup is below and will help you move along from blog to blog so that you won't miss any of the amazing projects along the way. At the moment, you are visiting, Katrina Wolfe at Katrina's Kreative Heart.
For my tag project, I decided to use one of my favorite bundles from the Holiday catalog, Carols of Christmas. I just adore this bundle and find that I reach for it often and found once I got going on these cute tags, I couldn't stop so ended up with a total of 6 tags in no time at all. So, then, what's a girl to do with 6 tags laying around? Well, she makes a box to put them in of course! Again, quick and easy!

Tag Directions:

To create the tags, I cut Whisper White and Be Merry Christmas DSP 5.5" x 2" and adhered them together with Fast Fuse. I then punched the tops with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch. I stamped the deer from the Carols of Christmas in Soft Suede ink onto some scrap Whisper White cardstock and cut them out on the Big Shot with the coordinating die. I cut the single tree from the die set from scraps of Garden Green Cardstock and adhered both the tree and the deer to the bottom of the tags with mini dimensionals. For the sentiment and the To/From, I pulled out my Hang your Stocking stamp set. I stamped the Merry Christmas in Garden Green onto some scraps of Whisper White and punched them out with the Pretty Label punch and layered them onto a piece of Garden Green punched out with the 1.75" circle punch and popped them onto the tags with Stampin' Dimensionals. As a final touch, I added the Jute Twine to the top.

Box Directions:

To make the box, I started with a piece of Whisper White cut 7.5" x 4.5" for the bottom and scored 1" on all 4 sides. I snipped the end score lines up to the intersecting score lines on the 2 short ends, folded on all the score lines and added adhesive to the tabs and folded them in creating the bottom of the box. 
For the box top, I used a piece of Garden Green also cut 7.5" x 4.5", only I added a shim of approximately 5 Post-It notes to the edge of my score board and scored all 4 sides at 1". I snipped the up to the intersecting score lines on the short ends to create my tabs and I added Be Merry DSP to the top (5.25" x 2.25") and all 4 sides, (long sides cut .75" x 5.25"; short sides .75" x 2.25") and added adhesive to all 4 tabs with Fast Fuse and created my box top.
