My favourite part of my job as a Stampin' Up! Demo is spending quality stamping time with others who enjoy crafting too. For the All Occasion Card Class, we completed six cards. The ladies did a fabulous job. I will post three of the projects today and the remaining three will be posted on Sunday. Here we go ...<br />

A clean and simple card!! This was a total and complete CASE from "sarsam" which I found on Splitcoaststampers. Once again, I do not have a link to a blog. Thank you so much for the inspiration sarsam. It may be difficult to tell from this picture but there are two scored lines under Happy Birthday. It adds a nice touch when you are limited on how you can embellish a masculine card.<br />

I love it! But then there's not much that I don't love about all of the fabulous product Stampin' Up! provides for us. These bundles are great savings. You save 15% when you purchase the bundle with the framelits and the coordinating stamp set. I'm supposed to be busy prepping for card club but I wanted to do a quick post to show you a card:<br />

<br />
I'm also in love with the flower trim! You get so much in the pack and you can dye the flowers, use a sponge dauber to add subtle colour, colour with markers or they are beautiful just as they are. In the last version I tipped the petal edges with dazzling details for a little bit of bling.<br />
<br />
Hope you love this set as much as I do! Thanks for stopping by.<br />

These cute little guys were inspired by this <a href="http://www.poppypaperie.com/poppy_paperie/2013/01/homespun-hearts-and-hearts-stitches-finale.html" target="_blank">blog</a>. For our owls we used the retired pillow box die for the body, large heart punch for the face and feet and an ornament framelit was used to make the wings. This treat hold can hold two of the Hershey minis.<br />

Our group made a fridge magnet using soda pop tops, first edition DSP and a heart punched from glimmer paper using the small heart punch. A rhinestone added some bling. Crystal Effects covers everything and is left to dry. Glue a magnet on the back and you have a pretty fridge magnet. The butterfly soda pop top was done as an example of some other images you can use.<br />

Everybody knows and loves the Angry Birds. This card was CASE'd from this <a href="http://www.sparklycards.blogspot.ca/2013/01/angry-birds-punch-art.html" target="_blank">blog</a>. Lots of punching to create this card and we used the chalkboard technique for our sentiment. Cute!!<br />

Finally, the moms got to make their card for their special Valentine:<br />

This is my most recent project and I am super excited about it. I had posted another version of these cocoa packets in a November post which you can find <a href="http://sunnystampin.blogspot.ca/2012/11/november-stamp-club-projects.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. The Christmas cocoa packets were one of our November Club projects. Credit goes to Dawn Olchefske for the idea. It occurred to me that these would also work for a Valentine project as February can be darn cold and a nice cup of cocoa is always good. So with a little bit of modification, we now have Valentine cocoa packets!! These were a popular item at my last trade/craft show and I hope they will be again at my next show on Sunday.<br />

I can't remember what this technique is called!! If anyone knows, please drop a comment. I haven't made a card with this technique in forever so thought it was time to do it again. The brad in the centre of the flower acts as the hinge for the top part of the card. Cute!!<br />

Hello and Happy New Year!! We postponed our monthly blog hop just a little due to the Christmas and New Year holidays. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that you are excited to see what the Squad has come up with to celebrate the New Year! This month's theme is to celebrate the new spring catalogue that came into effect on January 3rd. Once again I was blown away with all of the awesome goodies Stampin' Up! has come up with. So without further delay here are my submissions for this month's hop:<br />

I was so excited to see the Honeycomb embossing folder and the soda pop tops! I would have loved to have added a rose from the flower trim but apparently it didn't make the cut during my pre-order. Dah!! I will be getting that flower trim next order for sure.<br />

Of course now it's time to start thinking about Valentine's Day. This is a very feminine card. The background heart is whisper white that has been spritzed with primrose petals and champagne shimmer paint to give it some sparkle. The new Pool Party embossing powder was what encouraged me to go with this colour combination. And for a girl that loves bling, the new large rhinestone basic jewels made me very happy!<br />

Welcome 2013!!So another year has come and gone. Wow - December flew by in a flash. We were talking today about taking the tree down on the weekend. It seems like we just put it up!! I always find it a little depressing after the tree and the decorations come down. Everything looks so empty and blah! I especially like all of the twinkly lights at Christmas. I'm pretty sure my husband won't let me keep them up all year round. :(<br />
<br />
December was also typical in that I didn't do a lot of blogging. Blogging tends to go to the back burner when there is so much that needs to be done to prepare for Christmas. It is also a busy time of year with craft sales and now I am managing our local farmers' market so that took up a fair bit of time. Now I get a break until spring so I better get my butt in gear and start crafting up a storm for the next round of craft sales and markets. <br />
<br />
A peek at my memory card for my camera showed up some crafts that I never did blog about. Here are a few items I may have missed:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHrGiHFr2qMWHoIWYMnBni4gNwOAi_JEtGhY4P9S626WyibKB49gQHXnW-OTZ5qedC-ANlDRJO6zG6jxk4PC83QqSfc6xXN093Ib_MVAN71A2oIf4V7me6kQiFl-9ZLJXnAFnd7KyTkuYM/s1600/DSCF1141.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHrGiHFr2qMWHoIWYMnBni4gNwOAi_JEtGhY4P9S626WyibKB49gQHXnW-OTZ5qedC-ANlDRJO6zG6jxk4PC83QqSfc6xXN093Ib_MVAN71A2oIf4V7me6kQiFl-9ZLJXnAFnd7KyTkuYM/s400/DSCF1141.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
This card has a crumb cake card base and a layer of the Natural Composition Specialty paper. This paper has a glossy, raised pattern on a heavy-weight natural paper. The patterns are quite pretty and can be sponged to give a pop of colour. A crumb cake ribbon and some basic pearls give a little bit of a delicate touch to this card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCPYgdyx-1eWFgqvriYrPAepDYsBiMQWJzriBp4f7i_zpRCJSxeWqQGZrNR7jm_aZkJxIUIjMhQrSVztywz9xxhsvlt_iwNLK9WMNBLf9Myf-DL3HQRqiVKrvxi_mRrJvpTKMd0pnfa4fz/s1600/DSCF1158.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCPYgdyx-1eWFgqvriYrPAepDYsBiMQWJzriBp4f7i_zpRCJSxeWqQGZrNR7jm_aZkJxIUIjMhQrSVztywz9xxhsvlt_iwNLK9WMNBLf9Myf-DL3HQRqiVKrvxi_mRrJvpTKMd0pnfa4fz/s400/DSCF1158.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
This cute card was CASE'd from Shannon Lane. You can check out her blog <a href="http://scrapyardcards.blogspot.ca/2012/04/more-cased-cards.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I love using that owl punch in such cute ways.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This card was CASE'd from Kimberly Van Diepen, one of my all time favourite demos. You can find all kinds of inspirational projects on her website, <a href="http://stampinbythesea.com/" target="_blank">Stampin By The Sea</a>. This card uses one of my favourite stamp sets, Thoughts and Prayers. I was so excited at how pretty the cherry cobbler dazzling details looked on the tree. It added just a nice little touch of bling!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLMc5wn1YnVG67vCDWJRcDNt_S8_RT9E9EPwhq6KQo9v59B0ZragEh3WfCIQgLH6qzn_HDxr69ArYWk6US4CVtzAZ4k0moHug2_67kczGyskgJI8i04dyIYbPa-QcOjDiOQ9bkFDH1IH0n/s1600/DSCF1193.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLMc5wn1YnVG67vCDWJRcDNt_S8_RT9E9EPwhq6KQo9v59B0ZragEh3WfCIQgLH6qzn_HDxr69ArYWk6US4CVtzAZ4k0moHug2_67kczGyskgJI8i04dyIYbPa-QcOjDiOQ9bkFDH1IH0n/s400/DSCF1193.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Finally, this was my favourite Christmas ornament to make in 2012. I saw so many of these on various blogs and I'm sorry to say that I can't remember where I CASE'd this particular version from. I always try to give credit so if this looks like it might have been your idea, please let me know and I will update to give you credit. This little guy has a battery operated tea light for his face! It looks so cute all lit up. I coloured the nose with an orange sharpie and the eyes, mouth and buttons are pearls coloured with a black sharpie. The rest of him is all created from punches. Love it!!<br />
<br />
So I think that should be all of the projects I may have missed. I'm excited to sit down and start playing with all of my new stuff from the upcoming spring catalogue which comes into effect on January 3rd. First I need to figure out what items I absolutely have to have from the holiday catalogue as January 2nd is the last day to order from it. Some items from the holiday catalogue are carried over and can be found on page 36 of the spring catalogue. I will post some new projects soon - I hope! Thanks for stopping by!<br />

There is just so much going on. I even opted out of the Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop as it would have been one more thing stressing me out!

This card was CASE'd from Renee Romain Ondrajka. You can check out her blog <a href="http://stampinwithrenee.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">here</a>. This card uses the mirror image technique and the masking technique. I did two different versions of this card by using different colours for the tree and the mirror images.<br />

<br />I wanted to have an ornament for my club ladies and I wanted to show them how to make the faux bow. I learned how to make this bow from a tutorial by <span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl">Connie Collins. I love the champagne glimmer paper!</span></span><br />

I'm struggling to keep up my card supply. This post is about some of the cards I've made up.<br />

I wanted to use tulle on a card and I'm very happy with how it looks. The inside layer of DSP is retired. The vintage faceted buttons definitely add a nice touch to the vintage looking card.<br />

Many of my club ladies have been affected, either they or their children are sick. We had just a small group last night but we had a good time. All three of our projects were CASE'd from someone. Thank goodness there are creative people out there willing to share their amazing talent.<br />
<br />
Our first project will make a nice little gift for maybe a teacher, bus driver, etc.<br />
<br />

I found a great video by Dawn Olchefske showing how to make this cute project. Check out her blog <a href="http://dostamping.typepad.com/dostamping_with_dawn/2012/08/easy-stampin-up-scentsational-season-cocoa-packet-wow-video.html" target="_blank">here</a> for the great tutorial. Walmart has a new variety pack of cocoa packets. You can get cocoa flavoured like coffee crisp, rolo or after eight. Yum! The Scentsational Season bundle is getting a lot of use in my Christmas projects this year. Love it!<br />

This is another CASE'd project, this time from Kay Kalthoff. I found Kay's video tutorial on our demo site, Stampin' Connection. This is a great project that uses the Festival of Prints DSP Stack. Kay's video shows the perfect way to utilize a whole piece of the patterned paper with very minimal waste. After trimming the patterned piece for your card front, you can use the excess on the inside of the card and the envelope. The tree cut out using the framelits is also used inside the card. Love it!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>SUPPLIES</u>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This was a partial CASE from Rochelle Blok from one of our demo FB pages. I love making these tulle rosettes and using the jumbo rounds makes it so much easier than fighting with my hot glue gun. The core-dinations paper with the rosette gives the card a nice vintage look.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's that time again ... time for another blog hop. We postponed our hop by a week since everyone was busy with Halloween last week. Funny how I'm still finishing up at the last minute!! Bah - I excel at procrastination. :) You may have just come here from <a href="http://www.dawnscreativechalet.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Dawn's blog</a>. Please make sure to leave comments for our blog hop contributors so they can feel the love!<br />
<br />
Our theme this month is Thanksgiving/thankful. We celebrate Thanksgiving in October in Canada so I have already been focused on Christmas for a while. It was kind of nice to come up with a card that focused on being grateful again:<br />

I had used the Full of Blessings set a number of times last month but this time I had a new stamp set to use with it - the Pursuit of Happiness set. This saying was perfect and the inside of the card has a simple thank you.<br />

My 3D project meets our challenge this month: <span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl">create a "hostess thank-you gift". The hostess thank-you gift did not have to be Thanksgiving related so naturally I focused on Christmas:</span></span><br />

<span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl">I have found a new favourite embellishment - a paper faux bow! I came across a video tutorial by Connie Collins on our demo site, Stampin Connection. Connie did a fabulous job with her tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing Connie. For this project I created a gift box with coordinating cards and envelopes inside. This will make a perfect hostess gift just in time for Christmas gift giving.</span></span><br />

Independent Demonstrator. Congratulations on both accomplishments Erin! I popped a card in the mail to thank Erin for doing such a great job. Here is a pic:<br />

I apologize for the poor quality of the photo. Apparently a dying battery doesn't make for good pictures. Who knew? :p I have seen samples of cards using the cut out portion of the apothecary accents framelit as a frame. It just so happens that the image from Just Believe fits perfectly within the frame. A little embossing with the fancy fan folder adds some pretty detail to the frame layer. I absolutely love the stitched ribbon in the new in colours. I used a faux bow here so it would lay flatter for mailing. Hopefully the tiny pearls get through the mail okay too!<br />

I know I've said before how much I love being a Stampin' Up! demo but it is true. As a demo you have the freedom to determine if you want to be a business demo or a hobby demo. I have both types of demos on my team and regardless of what type they are, I want to support and encourage them as much as possible. There are great opportunities and incentives for being a demonstrator but the best part is being able to share the love of crafting with others. Keep up the good work Erin!!<br />

Like many who admired the ornament, I decided I wanted to make it. Then I found the instructions and shook my head, saying hmmmm no way! Stampin' Up! has used the Ornament Keepsakes set and coordinating framelits to create this beauty. The fact that each completed ornament requires 40 separate ornaments stamped and cut with the framelits had me quickly changing my mind. But then I thought I better at least give it a try and am I ever glad I did!!<br />
<br />
Here is my finished ornament (slightly different from the catty cover):<br />

I was so thankful to come across an awesome tutorial for making this. Dani Dziama posted such an easy to follow tutorial on her blog, complete with many step-by-step pictures, that it was incredibly easy to put this all together. Please check out her blog <a href="http://danidziama.blogspot.ca/2012/09/holiday-ornament-tutorial.html" target="_blank">here</a> and give her many thanks for being so thorough and concise. Thank you Dani!<br />
<br />
Now I will admit that the stamping and cutting of these ornaments is the most time consuming and tedious part. It would work well if you could have your strips cut so that you can run two different ornament framelits through the big shot at the same time. I had suggested this to some of my customers but forgot to do it myself! One of my ladies found it easier to cut the ornaments and then stamp them. Try it either way and do what works best for you. It would also be easier to just cut your favourite DSP with the ornament framelits instead of stamping. I used real red ink for the ornaments and real red card stock for the rosette but will definitely use cherry cobbler if I do this again. I now have the new cherry cobbler ink pad and will be able to get a nice crisp image of my ornament and then I will match the tulle better. Have I ever mentioned how these new ink pads are all that?? They stamp soooo beautifully. The tulle is also so pretty and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend giving this ornament a try. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!<br />

Once the excitement of Halloween is over, he will be pestering us to put up the Christmas decorations and the count down will begin again. The Christmas wish list was started weeks ago and is based on whatever happens to be in an awesome tv commercial. Santa is going to have his work cut out for him this year. <br />
<br />
Enough about Christmas ... let's celebrate Halloween. Creating Halloween projects is one of my favourite crafts so I'm sad this will be my last one this year. A friend of ours also happens to be the EA in my son's class this year. She had mentioned to my son earlier this month that she would like a Halloween craft from me. As the month flew by and I was behind as usual, I didn't get one done for her. As luck would have it, her birthday is also on Halloween so I created this Halloween/birthday card for her hoping it would suffice as a Halloween craft:<br />

As much as I dread the thought of winter, I must admit it looks very pretty. The good thing is that we know it will be gone in no time and we are supposed to have warm weather for the weekend again. Maybe the snow is what I need to get motivated to start working on my Christmas crafts for upcoming craft shows!<br />
<br />
Here are some projects I have been working on recently:<br />

I was loving the look of the ribbon rosettes that I was using on the grapevine wreaths. Paired with some beautiful DSP, they look wonderful on these acrylic frame post-it note holders. If only I didn't burn myself so much making these beautiful rosettes!! Someday my hot glue gun and I will come to terms!<br />

This is a full size card that I made for our farmers market managers. They are stepping down as managers and my husband and I will be taking the position. Last Saturday was our last outdoor market so I had the vendors sign the card so that we can present it to Dave and Linda at our next board meeting. This ribbon rosette is huge and so easy to adhere using the new adhesive rounds. Much better than burning myself with hot glue!</div>

I'm slacking off this month and only doing two projects. I really wanted to do another card to coordinate with my 3D project but an unexpected trip to the ER to take my Dad sort of took up my time. He's okay, thank you God, and I'm very grateful that my parents recently moved back so that I can be here to help them at times like this. Sooooo, anyway, here is my 3D project:<br />

It seems that painter trays have been a popular item lately so I came up with something similar. I found the frame at our Dollar store and decorated it up. Can't wait to put this in my entrance way as we have already started decorating for Halloween and this frame will be a perfect addition. My seven year old is just a little bit excited for Halloween this year!<br />

Definitely starting to look and feel like fall out there. The fall colours are so beautiful. I had a Mommy & Me Halloween class yesterday and we all had a great time. I can't show you any of the projects today as I will be having a second class in a couple of weeks using the same projects. In addition to decorating for occasion, I also made sugared shortbread cookies stamped with our jack-o-lantern stamp. Everybody loves those cookies! I made some decorations using a new stamp set in the holiday catalogue:<br />

I had posted earlier about our first Club night. One of my Club ladies was kind enough to bring some extra tools for me to use in class. The next day I tried a new cookie recipe which uses Nutella. Absolutely LOVE Nutella in our house so how could you go wrong with a Nutella cookie! They were delish and probably a new favourite in our house. I made sure to give Patrice one as a thank you for her help. Of course you can't just give a cookie without wrapping it up pretty:<br />

I used the oval accents bigz die to cut a folded piece of cajun craze card stock. A strip of comfort cafe cut with the same die fits across the front and is decorated with some soft suede leaves and a brushed bronze designer button with vintage lace. The sides of the oval accent cut pieces are closed using sticky strip, leaving the top open to form a pocket. Taaadaaaa ... a cute little cookie holder!<br />
