I love being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!  My first Stampin' Up! purchase was my own Starter Kit in 2004.  I was new to paper crafting, wanted to save $$ and get a discount on products rather than pay full price.  I'm so glad I purchased the SU Starter kit and I know you will be too!  It's just a blast!

You'll enjoy being a part of our Pals Virtual community!  I thoroughly enjoy our Pals Blog Hops, Pals Paper Arts Challenges and virtual webinars, training, calls, and Facebook chats.  It's the best group to be a part of.  

You can quietly lurk if you want and just indulge in the creative side of things, that's totally fine too.  There are a lot of wonderful people to meet and become friends with too!  We have an active virtual community that's full of support, ideas and inspiration.

Here's a peek at the Halloween Banner kit, which is one of your freebie options to choose!

MoJo114 Card Sketch - Happy Thanksgiving Card

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I love this season of gratitude and thankfulness and I hope you have a wonderful day with friends and family! I made this quick and simple Thanksgiving card based upon the Mojo Monday Sketch featured below! You can also click on the link and play along too if you'd like! I had so much fun this fall season creating leaves with my Big Shot Die-Cut Machine! Plus I think I used the Autumn Traditions DSP on almost every card since the colors were great and the patterns were just too cute! If the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine is on your 'Wish List' for Christmas, Stampin' Up! is offering a FABULOUS Gift Pack special on the machine and lots of necessities to help you get started! If you'd like more information on everything that is included in that great deal, please click on the link above - or the picture on the right hand side of my blog! If you're looking for more card ideas or product information, you can search under 'Labels' on the left hand side of my blog to see projects made with a variety of different Stampin' Up! stamp sets, DSP paper, themes, tools or techniques, if there's something particular you're looking for!

The Falling Leaves stamp set on page 27 of the Idea Book & Catalog is one of my favorite fall sets that I have! I love the different leaves and the sentiments are simple and perfect for the cards I
created this season! Plus it has a coordinating jumbo wheel, Bright Blessings that is filled with awesome fonts and sentiments for the season! Tip: To achieve a clear, crisp stamped sentiment on my card, I stamped the 'Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Fall, Happy Blessings to one and all' in the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad! I'm really happy with the result since those letters are tiny but they are clearly seen on my card!

Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow! I made this Fall / Thanksgiving card based upon the card layout pictured below! This sketch is featured on page 23 of the June 2009 Stampin' Success magazine! One of the great benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is receiving this fabulous publication in my mailbox every month! I look forward to all the new samples, information, stamping techniques and layouts it contains!

The layout was quite easy to work with since it was basically color blocks and piecing everything together! I love simple card making designs! The stamp I used is from the Holiday Best stamp set on page 13 of the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog! It's a Level 1 Hostess set and can be earned for FREE with either a workshop or personal order of $150 or more! Please email me if you'd like to place an order and I can help you get the best deal!

Tip: To get my brads perfectly lined up in a row, I used my Mat Pack (pg. 191) paper-piercing template and pad! The template is perfect for lining up holes perfectly!

So Much to be Grateful for...

In this wonderful season of being thankful, we have so much to be grateful for! I'm very grateful

for my family, friends, church, and of course all that the Lord Jesus has done for me! There's nothing better than knowing that heaven awaits us and spending eternity with our Saviour! I hope and pray that you are counting your blessings and all the wonderful things and people in your life!

My favorite part about this card, is how all the punches coordinate and fit with each other! I started with the Scallop Oval punch, then the Large Oval Punch fits perfectly inside the scallop for a fun layered look! Then the Modern Label punch holds the Worder Window punch perfectly!

Using several fall colors was a great way to celebrate this season! I randomly stamped the images from the Falling Leaves stamp set (pg. 27) on Whisper White card stock. Tip: Stamping some of the images 'off the page' give it a continuous, flowing look.

MOJO113 ~ Happy Thanksgiving Card

Can you believe Thanksgiving is in one week? Oh my goodness, I can't believe how fast this year has flown by! My Thanksgiving plans are to head home up to Washington to spend time with my parents and family! I'm so looking forward to mashed potatoes and turkey! So for the big day, I created this card based upon the MOJO Monday Sketch pictured below!

I followed the sketch using Stampin' Up!'s Autumn Traditionals DSP (pg. 115668) and the Falling Leaves Stamp Set (pg. 27). I love that paper and of course the leaves are so festive and fun! Tip: I used the reverse side of the Soft Suede 1/2" ribbon so that the polk-dot side was 'hidden'.

MOJO110, Give Thanks

Leaves, leaves, leaves!! Today was a great day of raking leaves, yard work, and of course MOJO Monday sketch! I just had to incorporate the wonderful Autumn Traditions DSP (pg. 160) in another card since I love it so much! Square cards are SO great to work with since it feels like I can add so much more to it than just the standard size card! The double-sided paper works wonderfully for layering since it all coordinates and works together! So this is what I came up with based on the the sketch below:

The finished size is 5-1/4" square and will fit perfectly in the Stampin' Up! Medium Whisper White Envelopes (107289). They come in a pack of {20} for only $6.50!

Simple Card: {GRATEFUL}

This was a quick an easy {GRATEFUL} card that works nicely as a 'Thank You' card or to send as a Thanksgiving card! The Stampin' Up! Bright Blessings Jumbo Wheel (which was used on the bottom of my card) was inked up in Soft Suede ink, then rolled on the bottom of my card! Since the new In Colors do not have ink cartridges for the jumbo wheels, all you need to do is roll the wheel (several times to cover it in ink) in your ink pad, then roll it onto your cardstock! It works great!
