2019 Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek with Merry Moose Bundle

Hello and Happy Tuesday! I am so excited! My Holiday Catalog pre-order arrived yesterday, so of course the first thing I did when I arrived home from work is make a mad dash for my craft room to tear into the box!

First order of business was to go through the catalog! There is NOTHING like going through the pages of a new catalog. Yes, as a demonstrator I had access to the digital catalog on line a couple of weeks ago, but it doesn't hold a candle to the physical catalog! Just sayin'!
Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek

Yeah, I was a little excited...okay, I was REALLY excited. But really, you have got to see it to understand it!

So, once I finished going through the catalog, I dove into the rest of the box and oh my, where to start? After fussing over everything and touching and opening, I decided to play with the Merry Moose Bundle. That little moose just stole my heart! I was even texting photos of him in my hand to a fellow teammate. Now, I don't randomly text such photos to my team, but I happen to know she is also in love with the moose and her's hadn't arrived yet, therefore, I was sharing so she could see the size and just how sweet he really was. 

Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek with Merry Moose


The colors I used here are Early Espresso, Shaded Spruce and Very Vanilla. I did not actually stamp out the moose, but I did punch him out from a scrap of the Early Espresso and popped him up with a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish it off and add a little glitz, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the trees.

I hope you enjoyed today's sneak peek into the Holiday Catalog. If you aren't currently working with a demonstrator, I would love the opportunity to serve you. If you would like a catalog, just fill out the form and I will be sure to get one to you. 
In the meantime, Happy Stamping,

Beautiful Friendship - Quick & Simple Stamping

Hello and Happy Monday! Thanks so much for joining me today! I have a fun card to share with you today and it's a quick and simple card featuring the Beautiful Friendship stamp set from Stampin' Up! 
I love this stamp set, it is just gorgeous! It is a DistINKtive stamp, which is a newer technology in stamping introduced by Stampin' Up! last year where they create a photo realistic image in the stamp that is patent pending..but the results are just amazing. 
This card is perfect for that bestie you want to send a little love to so they know how you feel. 

I love how the Purple Posy pairs with the Highland Heather. And as an FYI, Stampin' Up! announced Purple Posy has finally passed quality control and they have given the okay to the manufacturer to begin production, so hopefully we will be seeing Purple Posy ink pads in the very near future!

Happy Stamping,

TGIF my friends! Thanks for stopping by today. It's been one of THOSE days! You know the kind, the kind of day that causes your head to pound  and to seriously consider why you even got out of bed this morning....yeah, that kind of day. I won't bore you with the details and we'll just leave it there,
A Quick and Simple Treat Box featuring the Piece of Cake Stamp Set
Today, I have a really fun project to share with you! It's a quick and simple treat box featuring the Piece of Cake stamp set by Stampin' Up! I love this box because not only is it quick and simple and oh so totally cute, but it uses a FULL sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock so there is absolutely NO waste! None! You make a couple of little cuts, but we use those little left over pieces to complete the design so NOTHING is wasted! I mean really, it doesn't get much better than that, at least not in my opinion.
Below, you will find a downloadable PDF consisting of supply list, dimensions and instructions. I also included a diagram to show you how your score lines should look.
