The Remarkable Ink Big Blog Hop - Sneak Peek

Happy Sunday and welcome to the Remarkable Ink Big Blog Hop for December 2017. Our theme is Sneak Peek into the 2018 Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs. I am so glad you could join me today. 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 and I hope you enjoy your time here.
Today, I'm sharing with you a sweet suite of product from the 2018 Occasions catalog know as the Sweet Soirée Suite and the focal point of this suite is the stamp and die bundle, Cake Soirée bundle.

The designer series paper that coordinates with this sweet, Sweet Soiré Specialty Designer Series Paper truly shines here, (no pun intended) with all of the silver foiled accents. Each double sided piece in this collection is just gorgeous with one side having the foiled accents while the other side is just brilliant, beautiful hand-painted prints.

In the card above,I began with a gatefold card base and I used the foiled Calypso Coral DSP for the "gates". I cut the cake plate from Silver Foil paper and the cake is stamped and cut using the coordinating die. To color the image, I used the Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends along with the Old Olive. I layered a panel of Silver Foil paper onto a panel of Calypso Coral followed by a panel of Whisper White and added to the left front panel. I adhered the cake onto the plate and popped them onto the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed today's card. I would love to hear your thoughts. In the meantime, be sure to continue following along the hop for lots more amazing ideas and inspiration from the new catalog coming to you January 3rd 2018!

Stampin' Up!'s Merry Little Labels

Hello and Happy Thursday! Well, it's beginning to look like Christmas around here. Over the last several days we got clobbered with several inches of snow, actually more like a couple of feet of it. But I guess that's to be expected when one lives in this part of NY State.
Anyway, I have a cute card to share with you that I will be doing with my card class this evening. I hope everyone likes it. It's cute but quick and simple.

Supplies and Measurements:

Merry Little Labels Stamp Set
Whisper White Cardstock: 8.5" x 5.5" scored and folded at 4.25"; scrap for stamped image

Christmas Around the World DSP: 2" x 5.5"

Foil Snowflake: Cut in half

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Every Day Label Punch

Fast Fuse

Stampin' Dimensionals

Directions:

Adhere the DSP to the card base using Fast Fuse or other adhesive of choice. Cut a Foil Snowflake in half and adhere over the DSP, lining up the cut edge with the edge of the DSP. Stamp the image from the Merry Little Labels stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and punch it out with the coordinating Everyday Label punch and adhere it to the card with a couple of Dimensionals.

I love this Designer Paper. I find it warm and inviting and just has a cozy feel to it. And it's currently still available, but for how long is anyone's guess. We are nearing the end of the Holiday catalog and everything is "while supplies last" right now except stamp set. Stamp sets will be in production until December 21st, then they too will be "while supplies last". So, if you want to get your hands on the gorgeous paper, don't wait. Just click the link below to grab this paper and stamp set.

Have a great day and stay warm. If you would like to receive my newsletter, click here to sign up.

Well hello and happy Tuesday! Stampin' Up! is opening up the second reservation period now as we speak!

Doing this, it allows as many of you as possible that would like to get your hands on this amazing product early. Pretty cool eh?

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. If you would like to recreate this card, below you will find all of the products you will need.
