Sunshine & Rainbows

Welcome to Friday and an all new TGIF Challenges!

I had to get a little creative with this weeks Technique Challenge and create my own mask.  Why in the world do I not have any of the amazing masks?!?!  That's the beauty of some of our punches and dies though...you can make your own!

I used the Cloud Punch to create a simple Balmy Blue cloudy sky background for a cheerful rainbow and sunshine!  

I'm using the returning In Colors as much as I can before they are gone.  I am really going to miss Misty Moonlight!  Want to know what else I'm going to miss? The Tasteful Labels dies!  These are probably my most used dies!  Good-bye's are so hard!

I don't know about you, but I am SO happy it's Friday!  I hope you all have a great weekend!

Happy Stamping!

Hello Sunshine...

...and hello Friday!

Welcome to an all new TGIF Challenges!  This week we are celebrating the last few days of Sale-a-Bration with our favorite products.

The Sunshine & Rainbows DSP is, by far, my favorite Sale-a-Bration product!  I love how bright and cheerful all of the designs are!

Today's card features 4 off the 12 DSP patterns and they are just so happy.  I don't usually use this many patterns of paper on one card, but these ones all work so well together. 

The fact that these cheerful designs coordinate with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle AND the could punch in the JJ Mini make it even better!  I die cut the rainbow, filling it with Mango Melody, Bermuda Bay, Magenta Madness and Flirty Flamingo.  A couple clouds were punched from the DSP and a sunburst die cut sentiment brought everything together.  Along with a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels of course.

I hope you will join along and share your favorite Sale-a-Bration items with us this week!

I don't know about you, but I am oh-so-ready for the weekend.  It has been a full moon week at our school, meaning anything and everything crazy that could happen DID happen!  And since Monday is a holiday here in the States, that means there will be even MORE time for stamping!

Happy Friday and, as always, Happy Stamping!

You Make This World...

...a better place.

Welcome to an all new TGIF Challenges sketch challenge!

We can use a whole lot of sunshine & rainbows in our lives these days!  Thanks to the Rainbows of Happiness bundle and coordinating SAB Sunshine & Rainbows DSP, we can spread happiness all around!

I used a rainbow of DSP patterns to go along with the sketch, adding the adorable rainbow tag for the sentiment.  I love this tag!

A few rays of sunshine were stamped in Mango Melody, along with a splash of Flirty Flamingo hearts.  Some Iridescent Rhinestones added just the right amount of bling.  Isn't this card just the happiest?!?!

It's creating cards like this that get me through these crazy times...I am so thankful for my creative hobby and stamping community!

Happy Stamping!

Cactus Cuties and Rainbow's of Happiness

Happy new Mini and Sale-a-Bration Catalog day!!!

I don't know about you, but I love the feeling of the fresh start of the New Year.  Want to know what I love even more?!?!  Fresh, new Stampin' Up! products!  This years January-June Mini Catalog is packed FULL of so many amazing new products.  But wait...there's even more amazing news!  January-February Sale-a-Bration kicks off today as well.  You can earn SAB items for FREE with every $50 or $100 spent.

I thought I would share a couple of my favorites with you today.  Cactus Cuties and Rainbow of Happiness Bundles were MUST HAVE's for me!

I used the adorable Sunshine & Rainbow's DSP, which you can earn for free from Sale-a-Bration with a $50 purchase.  Trust me...this paper is worth it!

I paired this cute cactus up with the even cuter polka dot pattern of DSP.  The cactus came together quick and easy with the coordinating Cactus Builder Punch.  A bright Bermuda Bay card base, along with a little Mango Melody makes for a bright and cheerful little note.

Next up is "a little something to brighten your day".  I die-cut the rainbow using a rainbow of Sunshine & Rainbow's DSP.  Aren't these patterns all just the BEST?!?!

The new Cloud punch coordinates with the cloud pattern of DSP too...can this DSP get any better?!? 

What's a rainbow without the sunshine?  This sunny sentiment was heat embossed in white on Mango Melody, which fits perfectly inside the sunburst die from Tasteful Labels dies.  The Painted Texture 3D embossing folder added just the right amount of texture to this card as well...and no embellishments were necessary!

These two bundles and FREE Sale-a-Bration items may be my favorites, but these catalogs are FULL of so many awesome projects that you are going to want to add to your collection.

Don't wait any longer...start your shopping HERE today!

Happy Stamping!
