A Twitterpated Original and Blog Candy Winner!

Helloooooo Readers!

I know I said I was giving you 24 hours, but I realized when I signed on last night to draw a winner, that my email that goes to several of my groups was still hanging out in my outbox. So there were a lot of people who didn't get a chance to even read the post. Sooo...I decided to wait an extra day.

But anyhow...the winner is: Nancy Seed

Today's share is a CASE using two sets from the 2011-2012 IB&C-Funky Four and Bring on the Cake. This card could easily be done with any color combination in the Color Coach. I paired it with some coordinating buttons from the Subtles collection for a fun and playful birthday card.

Enchanted Edges

Today's share is a super simple card using some more of the items from the new Occasions Mini catalog and also from the Sale-A-Bration booklet. I'm still having fun using this pretty new paper and the Mixed Bunch stamp set with it's coordinating punch, but I've also been trying my hand at some other new stuff. Look really closely, and you will see that not only is the Designer Paper cut with the new Edgelits, but I've also used the coordinating Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to go with it. The Adorning Accents Texture Folder set is a set of 3 Embossing Folders that are only about 1 1/2" tall by 5 1/2" wide. So, you can close them over your card in a small area and get these great embossed lines like you see below. I'll be playing more with these and other new products over the weekend, so stay tuned for more.

Stamps: Mixed Bunch, Perfectly Penned

Ink: Poppy Parade, Early Espresso

Cardstock: Poppy Parade

Accessories: Everyday Enchantment DSP, Blossom Punch, Boho Blossom Punch, Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack, Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies, Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Fresh Vintage

Hey everyone! I know...it's BARELY still Wednesday, but...I'm sliding in under the wire, because I'm making a concerted effort to blog everyday...so here goes.

Today's share is a CASE from the most recent issue of Stampin' Success magazine-the magazine we demos get from Stampin' Up! every month that's full of great ideas and tons of inspiration.

This card is not difficult to make, yet still has that "you-spent-tons-of-time-on-me" look...

If you are wondering where you can find these great papers and stamps, well...you won't have to wait long. They are from this year's Sale-A-Bration booklet, and they only cost....wait...they're FREE! Yep! You read correctly. FREE. For every $50 of stamping stuff you order (from any catalog), you get to pick any item you like from the whole Sale-A-Bration booklet, FOR FREE! What's better than free stamping stuff? Well...I'll let you know when I figure that out...but stay tuned, because this offer starts on January 24th, and you won't want to miss it.

Stamps: Fresh Vintage, Kind Thanks

Ink: Soft Suede, Bashful Blue, Crumb Cake

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede

Accessories: Everyday Enchantment DSP, Blossom Bouquet Punch, Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack

Fabulous Mixed Bunch

Today's share is another use of several new products from the Occasions Mini catalog. One of my favorite new sets is called Mixed Bunch. I'm not usually big on flowers, but these are just playful enough, and what's better? It has a coordinating punch!

Happy New Year!

Wondering where I've been? Well, there has been a lot going on here, which meant I had to put my creative venues (and the blogging thereof) on a back burner. But hopefully things are back to a semi-normal state, and I can begin sharing on a regular basis again.

Soo...can you believe there are only 2 days left until you can order from the 2012 Occasions Mini catalog? I can't even believe I just had to say 2012...but anyway...there are some amazing new products, and I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised with some of the new things Stampin' Up! has come out with. New ways to cut, embellish, and of course...STAMP!

So, for today's share, here is a Valentine-ish card I made using some new products from the 2012 Occasions Mini catalog. Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: P.S. I Love You

Ink: Riding Hood Red, Pear Pizazz, Blushing Bride, Pool Party, Basic Gray

Hellooo Hoppers! + Blog Candy!

Hey there, Hoppers! Having fun yet? I hope so! If you're hopping along in order, you probably arrived here via the site of the one and only-Tory Bray.

If you'd like to go back to her beautiful site, just click HERE.

For those of you who did not arrive here on your way through the VC Rocks Blog Hop-WELCOME to you also! This is the first blog hop of the short-seasoned VC Rocks group which I am a member of, and I'm so thrilled to be a part of it! Read all the way through for a chance to win some blog candy from me!

For today's project, I did a bit of watercoloring with my Watercolor Crayons and a Blender Pen, and I used a stamp set that I just recently purchased. The stamp set is called Homegrown, and as you might expect, it includes fruits and vegetables! I have wanted this set for a long time, but thought it would not be versatile enough to use for very many occasions, so it kept getting bumped to the bottom of the wishlist. Well, I finally just broke down and ordered it, and I'm glad I did.

As you can see, aside from the watercoloring, I also used my Big Shot machine (can't live without that thing) to texture the Early Espresso piece that is placed behind the images. I love how the textured piece gives the card a little extra dimension. Another thing I love is stamps that coordinate with Stampin' Up! punches! As you can see, the "Homegrown" image fits nicely inside the oval punch, which also layers perfectly into the center of the Decorative Label Punch (another fave). It makes it so easy to dress up a card with layers when the punches go together like that!

Well, I hope you've enjoyed taking a peak at my project!

Become a follower of my blog (subscribe, or click Follow, then enter your email address) for your chance to win the prize.

What is the prize, you ask? Well, it's a set of these cards shown here today, which includes 2 each of the cards you see, plus handmade coordinating designer envelopes, a matching notepad, and pen. This would make a very cute gift for someone-male or female, or you could always keep it on your own desk or craft station!

Ok so...from here you are headed over to The Love of Stamping-a fantastic blog by my fellow Rocker, Barb Furlong.

To get there, just click HERE, and you'll be on your way.

By the way, if you've gotten lost, you can find the complete list of stops and pick up anywhere you like at the VC Rocks homepage.

Happy Spring, Everyone!
