Finally time to Create!

I have finally had some time to play with this month's special Holiday Sparkle Kit - love me some shaker cards!  And so simple and easy to put together- plus an adorable Christmas stamp set, as well.

It comes with everything you need to make 12 cards and embellished envelopes, and you have the option to purchase the stamp set if you like!

The non traditional colours are fun, and I love the easy peasy foam and acetate to make the shaker cards!  I have always loved them and with this kit they are so quick and simple!

This set is only available until the end of October.  It is only $39.00 plus tax and shipping, or $51.00 with the cute stamp set!  Check out all the details on my website - here !

Thanks for checking out my blog!  I can't wait to show you some more of 

our new products, so stop by again soon!

National Stamping Month Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the CTMH National Stamping Month Blog Hop!

This month, 24 consultants from Canada, the US, New Zealand and Australia have created some great artwork using the National Stamping Month special cardmaking kit!

If you have come from DARLYS' BLOG, you are in the right spot!  The hop is a great big circle, but if you get lost, please head over to MELINDA'S BLOG for the complete list of hoppers!

The Create Kindness card kit (CC1145) includes 24 pre-printed card bases with envelopes, 8 exclusive M-size stamp sets, a 2″ × 2″ My Acrylix® block, and an Archival Black mini pigment ink pad, all packed snugly in the My Acrylix® Mini Stamp Organizer - for just $60.95CAD!   I love the mini cards, but this kit is very versatile, and I wanted to highlight that!  Using the kit supplies, plus some cardstock and Adventure Complements, I created a scrapbook page:

I cut apart the mini cards and matted them, then cut my photos the same size and arranged them on a grid.   Next, I stamped one of my fave sentiments from the set for the middle/title. Finally, I added some simple embellishments from the Adventure Complements!  Easy Peasy!!

These are all available as or a kit, or you can get the stamps individually - but how would you choose - they are all awesome!!  If you want to purchase one or all, just click on my side link, or contact your local consultant! - Remember, this is a special available only til the end of September!

Now you can hop over to  JEN'S BLOG, to see what crafty goodness she has for you!

A little bit of summer Merry!

I know it is August, so I cannot even use the Christmas in July idea, but I am loving the Snow Haven Paper Pack from the new Idea Book!  It is wintery, and even for an Island girl like me, who rarely sees snow, it is fun to use for winter and Christmas themed projects!  Right now I am working on cards for Christmas 

(which doesn't mean I will actually send them- lol!).

SnowHaven has a great Workshop on the Go kit (Find it here!) that comes with supplies and instructions to make 5 each of 3 different card designs.

 I chose to make 3 each of the included card ideas, and then used the leftovers plus a few scraps
from the larger Paper Pack (here) for a few more projects. 

 First, the included card designs:

Everything you need is included (except your own ink - event the stamp set is provided!)- just follow the cutting guide and you can have 15 cards ready in about an hour or so ( depending on your crafting experience!).  Easy and fun!  

I wanted to play a bit, so I made 9 cards and then a couple of extra projects:

For these I used an additional stamp set - it is a Hostess only set from the new Idea Book called Be Jolly!

(If you want one of your own, please contact me to arrange a gathering where you can earn free products!)

I also used a 6x6 inch square from two additional papers from the paper pack top complete these and

 one more little project which I will be posting here tomorrow - so check back -

 it is really cute and fun - I promise!!

Happy Day everyone!
