Painter's Pallet: A Work of Art

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by to have a look around. Today, I have another very quick and simple card to share with you. I began with a card base of Basic Black cut 4 1/4" x 11 scored at 5 1/2". I then cut a piece of designer paper from the Playful Pallet DSP stack (black and white polka dot) 4" x 3 1/4" and a second piece from the same stack (black and white hash) 4" x 2" and adhered them to the card base. I then took a piece of Whisper White and stamped the painter's easel image in Sweet Sugarplum and the sentiment in the same color in the center of the easel. I then cut the image out using the coordinating Layering Square Framelit (measures approximately 3" square) and adhered that over the card base where the 2 designer papers meet. That's it! Done, and it's really cute!

What do you think? Leave me a comment below and let me know. And remember, you can order any of the products you see here by visiting my on-line store or by clicking the links in the product description below. But be sure to try this card out, it's a winner!
Happy Stamping,

A Simple Way to Let Them Know You Care!

Hi there! I hope you’re week has had a great start. Today, I want to share a super simple card with you that packs a lot of adorable punch. What makes this card so simple is that it uses 1 stamp set, hostess set, Time of Year, 1 piece of cardstock cut 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼” (Whisper White) and 3 ink pads, Memento Tuxedo Black, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron. A few rhinestones later and you have a pop of WOW!

 

I began by stamping the “Thinking of you” slightly off center toward the left of the card followed by the “always” banner in Flirty Flamingo. I then added the flowers from the stamp set in So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo. As a final touch, I added a rhinestone to the center of the flowers. And that was it. Fast, simple and oh so pretty.

What do you think? Leave a comment below and let me know. You can obtain all of the supplies here by visiting my on-line store. The Hostess set, Time of Year, can only be obtained by hosting a qualifying party or placing an order of at least $150 to earn Hostess benefits.  If you have any questions or are interested in hosting a party either in person or virtually via Facebook, please let me know. I would love to help you earn this great stamp set.

Happy Stamping,

Katrina

Show some Love

Hello again and Happy Saturday! Here is another absolute favorite of mine from the new catalog, the Sunshine Sayings bundle. The possibilities are endless for this set, but here is just one idea:

 

The card base is Basic Black cut 5” x 10” and scored at 5” to create a 5” x 5” card. The Whisper White layer is 4 ¾” x 4 ¾”. I stamped the “scribble” flower from the stamp set using Versamark ® ink and heat embossed with Whisper White embossing powder a total of 5 times.  I then colored each flower  with my Aqua-painter alternating with Flirty Flamingo ink and So Saffron ink. I then die cut the word Love from Basic Black cardstock for a total of 3 using the coordinating Thinlits and adhered them together to give the word dimension and adhered the entire piece to the card front and then adhered that down to the card base. As a final touch, I “painted” the Love piece with clear Wink of Stella™. And that my friends, completes our card for today.

I truly hope you enjoyed today’s card. I welcome any and all feedback so please feel free to leave me a comment below and wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Happy Stamping,

Katrina

Shaker Jar

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love, love, love this new catalog and the wonderful products it offers! And today's stamp set is no exception! This card was so fun to put together and nothing makes me smile like shaking up a card and I love to give these shaker cards because they kind of keep on giving. Think about it, who doesn't love to get a hand-made card? Now add to it an element that makes them want to "play" with it! Yep, keeps 'em smiling, hence, keeps on giving!
Ok, so here is today's card:

And Fun was had by All



Well we had our catalog launch open house on Saturday. If you weren't able to make it, we did miss you and wish you had been there to join in on the fun! We played a few games, and it was quite fun to see everyone attempt to draw their Hawaiian Island with their eyes closed (insert giggle). We played a couple of other games, had prizes for all and a drawing for the door prize which was a card kit. We had lots of food and plenty of card samples for everyone to peruse.

We had a couple of adorable make n takes for everyone to make. I am SO in love with the Lots of Love hostess set! Here is a close up of the make n takes:

More than anything, there was lots of laughs, time spent with great friends and LOTS of drooling over all the wonderful product offerings in the new 2016-2017 Annual catalog. We really wish you could have been there.

Now that you have had a chance to look through the catalog, which new stamp set is on your MUST have list? Let us know in the comments below, we would love to here what you must have.

Happy Stamping!
