My Sister in law celebrated her birthday last weekend and I wanted to make her a pretty pink card! I had lots of Blushing Bride cardstock left from the 2010-2012 in Colors and decided that was the perfect pink to use! It was great to make a card that wasn't Christmas themed (although I really love Christmas cards).

The scalloped square is embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and then sponged with blushing bride ink. 

I hope she had a wonderful Birthday in Toronto and celebrated the rest of the week in NYC! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Outside of Ottawa, there is a nice town in Mississippi Mills known as Almonte. When my husband and I first moved here, we liked to go to the town often because it was so pretty and we loved the little shops.

I have known about a store called Tin Barn Market for a few months now that is located in Almonte. It is a beautiful little store made up of Vintage, Salvaged and Handmade objects. I could've spent hours in the store! I bought an old picture frame that is going to look perfect in my craft corner. I can't wait to go back and look again.

While at the store, I noticed some handmade cards. All of them were beautiful and it gave me inspiration. Immediately, I came home and re-created a card I saw there. I changed up a few elements, but it turned out about the same. I didn't catch the name of who made the card so I can't give credit where credit is due, but whoever you are, your cards are beautiful.

The Northern Flurry embossing folder used on the card above is part of the Online Extravaganza.  Today is the last day to take advantage of the deals. Remember that you can order through my online store or place an order through me. Today is also a good day to take anvantage of the INK-redible promotion because you can get 10 Free ink pads with your discounted products!

I LOVE how cute these tags are from the tag class held last Tuesday! I had so much fun making them and I think the girls that attended did too! If I had to pick my favorite it would definately be the snowman, but I really love all of them!

The card above is the first Christmas card from the first Christmas class I held. Christmas is my favorite time of year. I can't wait to decorate the house and put the tree up. We put up our Christmas lights a few weeks ago and they look so pretty. We took Aubrey out to look at the lights the night we put them up and the wonder in his face was amazing! I'm excited to start new traditions with our family now that we have a little guy.

 

I have ONE space left for the next Christmas card class on December 4th! I also have posted upcoming dates for my classes in the New Year.

Ink: Early Espresso, Island Indigo, Pool Party.
Accessories: Brayer, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Dimensionals.

Masculin Cards are always the hardest to make. Today is my Dad's birthday and I wanted to make him something true to his style.

I saw an idea like this from Heidi Weaver @ http://www.heidistampinalong.blogspot.ca  and wanted to try out the technique. I haven't used my brayer in awhile and wanted to dig it out! It took me two tries to get it right, but I'm happy with how it turned out! As you can tell, I didn't want this card to look like a Christmas card, so I didn't ink the antlers on the deer.

Tomorrow is the last day to register for my Tags till Christmas class. We won't be using the Tags till Christmas set, but I promise you'll love each tag we make!

Christmas time is here

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! It is my favorite time of the year! Last Tuesday, I held my first Christmas card class. It was one of two card classes.

In each card class, we are making 6 cards; 2 each of 3 designs. The card above is one of the cards we made in the first class. I had a lot of fun with the 7 girls that attended. I had Christmas music playing, festive treats, a door prize & a draw for a hostess set.

I also made little gift card holders for each of the girls and had them waiting at their seat when they arrived. The gift card holders had a package of tea and a candycane inside. I used the Festival of Prints designer paper pack from the holiday mini and each persons holder was different.

My next class is on November 20th and we are making 6 tags. Each tag is unique and they are sooo cute! If you would like to join any of my classes, please check out my upcoming events page for dates or you can book your own event with me. Remember, the INK-redible deal is on and you can receive 10 new ink pads from the brights, subtles or regals collection just by joining the Stampin' Up! family or hosting a $575 workshop.

I would also like to remind you that if you would like to purchase anything from Stampin' Up! and you don't live in the Ottawa area, you can check out my online store. Stampin' Up! ships anywhere in Canada and when you shop online, you will receive your order at your door!  Know of anyone crafty and can't think of what to get them from Christmas? You may find something at Stampin' Up!

Thank You

 

Here is a card I created for the girls who attended and placed orders at the class on October 23rd. Does it look familliar? That's because it is the same stamp, colors and flower pieces from the "Submit a Project" Fancy Friends Kit. If you would like to purchase the kit, you can check out my online store HERE.

I also want to Thank all the girls that attended last nights class. Last night, I had my first Christmas Card class and it was amazing. There was Festive music & Christmas treats as well as a door prize draw and a hostess set draw. I had a blast last night & I think all the girls that attended did too! It put me in the mood for Christmas and although I don't want to wish the months away, I can't wait to see what our little guy will be like on his First Christmas!

 I also gave a preview of all the tags we are making at the Christmas tags class! If anyone wants to sign up for the next two classes, check out the dates on my Upcoming Events page. I will updating the page soon with dates for our classes in the New Year!
