A Fond Farewell with Frosted Floral Wedding Card | Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop


Welcome back to the last official blog hop for the 2018 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team!
Well my pumpkins, its been such an amazing ride over the past two years. I am so incredibly thankful for the amazing experiences and friends that I have met along the way.


This month's project is a wedding card I created for any couples that are getting married over the holiday season using the Frosted Florals product suite. This suite is absolutely stunning and could be used throughout the entire year. I absolutely loved playing with this entire suite.


It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the 2019 Artisan Design Team!
Cheer them on because they are each incredibly amazing!

Before I leave you, I'd like to wish you the best holiday season from my whole family.
Cathy (37), Ryan (37), Jane (8), Jack (6) and Rooney the Dog (10)


But keep hopping along on this farewell tour - Charlet Mallett is up next.
Until next time my little sweet peas!

Details | Simple Scrapper SPARK Magazine


How fun?
This layout was created with the idea in mind to have a cover page with an overall review of the places we had been on our vacation.
Joining pieces together was super fun with the Stampin' Up! black thread.


This layout was created for the DECEMBER 2018 SPARK magazine exclusively developed for the online Simple Scrapper community. Within the community we are provided with sketches and journal prompts in order to help inspire members.

I Opened The Door. | Simple Scrapper SPARK Magazine

  


  I opened the lanai door
  and I immediately felt the 
 calm. This. Yes, this is what I
needed. Although I could hear the
highway in the distance, there was
absolute quiet. The birds tweeting
and the water moving to and fro. I 
could feel the warm of the humid Florida 
surrounding my body like I was being 
being wrapped up in someone’s arms. 
I decided to sit, just for a
minute and breath a ‘breath of
fresh air’. I know I have to
take more of these moments.
It hasn’t been an easy few
months and the road ahead 
continues to look 
unpredictable. So, it’s
one day at a time and
today is looking warm
and sunny with blue
skies. So, here’s to
me looking up and
taking a breath
to see that 
life is a
beautiful
thing.

A Star is Born | Be Inspired Blog Hop


This month as part of the Be Inspired Design Team, we are talking about vellum.

While I use vellum for SO MANY THINGS.... 
But I use it most of the time to "tone pattern or colour down".

So, this Garden Impressions 6x6 paper pad is not my thing. But I love the colours in it. The bright blue is gorgeous and will a little vellum it gave me exactly what I needed to create this background for my card.


This card is a smash up of several products from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. It's the definition of creating a card out of your leftovers! This uses Little Twinkle Stamp Set, Free Cake Stamp Set and the Celebrate You Thinlets!

But don't stop here, check out the whole blog hop starting with my Canadian friend, Carolynn Sander, who lives on the opposite of the country as me!

Merry Christmas to All | Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop



oh my, oh my.
Are you drooling over the 'Merry' die cut?
Yeah.
Me too.
It's part of the Merry Christmas to All Bundle.


Today's project was brought together using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder as well as the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Both products make for a gorgeous background behind the largest snowflake from the Snowflake Thinlets (available only throughout the month of November).

Be sure to remember your clear Wink of Stella to get that extra shine on your die cuts!


I am certainly feeling the holiday season upon me and I can't wait to feel all the feels this Christmas!
Be sure to check out the rest of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team's holiday projects beginning with Charlet who is up next!

Up! Fill Life With Experiences | Simple Scrapper SPARK Magazine


August 1-4, 2018. 
She got tickets to see Taylor Swift for her birthday. 
What a lucky girl. 
But truth be told maybe Mom is just as excited.


Nanny and Poppy joined us for the adventure. 
Come From Away was the selling point as it’s a play that every 
Newfoundlander would be proud to see.

Flying to Toronto First Class and letting the day be our guide, we ate lunch at the CN Tower, Taylor Swift and Come From Away at the Royal Alexandria Theatre.

Let Your Light Shine | Simple Scrapper SPARK Magazine


Sometimes a story takes awhile to tell.
And this story is just that.
It's the beginning of a gymnastics competition season to the next.
It's the first one.
And she grew.
And I grew.
It's that cool when we learn from each other?

Introducing... Snowflake Showcase! | Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop


Today is the day that we all can get our hands on the Showflake Showcase!
And believe me, you will want to grab these while they last throughout the month of November.


The Showfall Thinlets come several sizes of snowflakes - big and small.
But I have to tell you that I have a soft spot for the beautiful large snowflake. 


The projects in today's blog post use the Snow is Glistening Stamp Set.
This stamp set along with Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set, which I showcased last month are available in this special edition of limited products.


My second project does not include the Snowflake Thinlets to prove to you that you don't need them to make a stunning project. This simple card is 4"x7" in size and the bottom shows the new Velveteen Speciality Paper. It's so soft and lovely - just like there's a layer of snow on the card!


But most of all, I am...
Sending you a blizzard of wishes for this holiday season.
How sweet is that?

Don't stop here as the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team was hard at work to design projects using products from this Snowflake Showcase! Hop along to Charlet Mallett up next!
