Moon Baby
Hello and happy Thursday! Well, I have to tell ya, I am exploding with excitement! Today, my first pre-order from the new catalog arrives! I can not wait to see that brown truck arrive! But, in the meantime, I want to share cards I made with the Moon Baby stamp set. This set is just precious and I am so happy it's carrying over into the new catalog. It works for both boy or girl and is just sweet.
The ribbon I used does happen to be retired. I used my Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils and Blender Pens to color in the images. Blender Pens are my favorite for blending out the color with these pencils. The pencils are so creamy and saturated with color that the Blender Pens just glide over the images.
Quick and easy baby cards! I hope you enjoyed today's cards. Feel free to leave a comment below. Be sure to check out my FB page this evening for a peek into my box when it arrives. I plan to do a FB Live so you can see all the awesomeness.To stop in just go to www.facebook.com/snsfromtheheart
Until next time, happy stamping,

Oh So Succulent Mothers Day
Hi and Happy Tuesday and oh what a happy day it is! Today I got to place my pre-order from the new up coming catalog for 2017-2018! Now to impatiently, ehm, I mean patiently wait for it to arrive. In the meantime, I am giving some of my favorite retiring stamp sets some loving. And one of those favorites is the Oh so Succulent stamp set. As a matter of fact, I just love the entire suite for this set. Today, I made a Mothers Day card using this suite. 
Product List
This card went together quick and easy. I started with a Whisper White card base cut 4 1/4" x 11" scored and folded at 5 1/2". I then cut a piece of the DSP 4" x 5 1/4" and trimmed off 2" and flipped the 2" piece around to show the opposite side of the DSP and adhered both pieces down with Fast Fuse. I wrapped the ribbon around the front of the card over the seam and tied a bow. I then stamped the succulent outline with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the solid in Mint Macaron and die cut with the coordinating die and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in the same black ink and punched it out using the Classic Label punch and attached it with a glue dot. And to add a little something extra, I added some DSP to the envelope flap.
And that's all there was to putting this cute card together. I hope you enjoyed today's card. Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know your thought. Have a great day and happy stamping,

Wobble Action with Seaside Shore
Happy Saturday friends. My apologies for missing in action again. Last week, I lost my internet for more than a day and a half, and then Tucker, my little fur baby got sick with what appears to be a stomach bug of some sort...or he managed to get into something without my knowing that he should not have, but he's certainly has had his mamma worried and doting over him that's for sure. Anyway, I want to share a cute card with you that I made the other day using the ever adorable set, Seaside Shore. I love this stamp set. It's just so stinkin' cute. So what do you think?
Product List
I just love this little fish. To create this card, I did a little masking to create the round focal area for my scenery, using Marina Mist ink and a sponge. I stamped the seashell and the star fish using Sahara Sand and the sea grass with Archival Black ink and watercolored with Wild Wasabi using my Aqua painter, I stamped and colored the bubbles with Marina Mist. On a piece of scrap Whisper White, I stamped the fish with Marina Mist and filled in with Calypso Coral using the Aqua painter and fussy cut him out. Then to adhere him to the card, I used a mini action Wobbler. These are so fun.
They add an interactive feature to your card. In this case, the little fish bounces around. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Marina Mist and adhered the panel to the Marina Mist card base. This was a quick and fun card to make and I hope you enjoyed it. Be sure to stop by again for more inspiration and fun ideas. Please let me know what you think, I would love to know. Leave comments below, I read everyone of them and reply. Have a great day and Happy Stamping!

A Sneak Peek of What's to Come - Eastern Palace Suite
Happy Tuesday! I pray you all had a wonderful Easter. Mine was quite nice, I spent the day with my parents. Hubby had to work once again. He seems to be catching all of the holidays lately. I guess, prison guards and nurses have to be on duty regardless of the day. I know, I've worked many Easters as a nurse. If it falls on your weekend to work, well you worked. That is one advantage now of my nursing position...I have weekends off, but not so for hubby. Anyway, as much as I missed having him home for Easter, it was still a great day.
Today, I want to share a bit of a sneak peek into what's to come. Today's card is using images and cardstock from the brand new Eastern Palace Suite along with a couple of the brand new 2017-2019 In-colors, Tranquil Tide and Fresh Fig!

I love these new In-Colors. They are great jewel tones, rich and vibrant and pair well with the Dapper Denim. This is part of an early release that will be available to customers May 2nd as a bundle. Then, beginning June 1st, when the new catalog goes live, it will no longer be available as a bundle. So, if you're not already receiving my newsletter, sign up to be the first to know when the bundle goes live because there will be 2 bundle options available.
I hope you enjoyed seeing a little peek into what's to come. Please feel free to leave a comment, I love to hear what you're thoughts are. In the meantime, happy stamping,

Remarkably Creative Blog Tour - Urban Underground!
The card that I'm sharing with you today has an industrial feel to it because I chose to use the silver foil designer paper found in the Urban Underground paper pack and I used the silver "screw" embellishments from the Urban Underground embellishment pack.
The stamp that I chose from the Urban District stamp set, has a distressed look when stamped and I used the coordinating framelit from the Build It framelits and layered it with a second piece cut from Basic Gray. and popped them up on Dimensionals. I added a strip of the Urban Underground Designer Washi tape. I really love this entire suite and will be sad to see it go by the end of May. Sadly, the framelits and embellishments are already gone, however, when I looked, this stamp set and paper are still available. Be sure to take advantage of the great deals on many of the retiring items.
Thanks so much for taking part in our blog hop. I hope you have enjoyed what you've seen so far as there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration out there and you won't want to miss any of it, so remember, you are at my blog, Katrina Wolfe, so check the line up below to see who is next in the list and click to continue on the hop. And again, Happy Easter!

Stampin' Up! for Jewelry?
Hi there! Happy Saturday before Easter! Are you ready with your Easter baskets and colored eggs? I decided against an Easter Basket for my little Tucker. He's the most adorable little Shit Zu/Yorkie mix you have ever seen, but, Gamma and Gampa made him up an Easter basket, so I decided 1 basket was plenty since he has an entire room full of toys already...No, he's not spoiled at all! Anyway, today I wanted to share with you some of the versatility of our products as I know not all crafters want to stamp necessarily, (although, I have no idea why not lol) so, I thought I would show you a really cute idea to make a girly birthday gift, earrings!
These would also make a cute party favor for a girls birthday party. I just picked up some inexpensive "fish hook earring" blanks in the jewelry making supply area of my local Walmart and some "O" rings to attach the fish hooks to the Party Animal Embellishments and with a pair of needle nose pliers, squeezed the "O" rings closed around both pieces. I then punched a 2" circle and stamped the sentiments in Emerald Envy and Pacific Point. I then punched 2 holes using the hand-held 1/8" punch into the center of the 2" circle and using a craft knife, I cut slits from the hole punches to the outside of the 2" circle so that I could slide the fish hooks down into the holes and slipped the entire piece into a 3" x 4" zip lock baggie. Aren't they just too cute? The sentiments happen to be from the coordinating stamp set, Balloon Adventures which happens to be on the retirement list.
I hope you enjoyed today's project. I thought it was cute for something a little different from our normal cardmaking and occassional 3D project. Let me know what you think as I always enjoy your comments and thank you for stopping by, I truly appreciate it. Happy Stamping, and Happy Easter to you,
Katrina
