Painted Poppies

This week I will be spending a lot of time chatting with my Grade 2/3 class about Remembrance Day, planting our own Poppies in our school garden and we will be creating our own Poppy art in class. So I thought I’d spend my Stampin’ week focussing on Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous Painted Poppies set. Today’s card is created using the Painted Poppies stamp set and a lot of fussy cutting (there are dies available- I just wanted a closer cut).I also heat embossed and then dry embossed the background.

If you want to get your own supplies to create this card ( and many others – check out my FB page for more samples this week) you can simply click the product images below.

Love of Leaves – 1 card 3 ways

I had a great time this morning creating a simple card and then slowly making it more detailed and interesting.

I truly love all 3 cards ( I am a sucker for a good simple stamping card – the busy mom that I am I NEED fast a beautiful cards to create).

Here are the three levels of creation. From Beginner, to casual crafter, to avid crafter.

2 inks, 2 cardstock and some adhesive – simple as can be!
Same card – but add some sponging and an embellishment.
Final version I added some die cutting and some heat embossing.

I simply adore the Love of Leaves bundle. The stitching is such an easy thing to add to the cards and makes a huge impact on the look of a card. You can see the video of how I created these cards on my FB page.

Nothing’s Better Than

Some of you may know that in my non-stampin’ life I am a mom of many and a grade 2/3 teacher. This coming week is going to be HARD. So I thought I’d relax myself with some stamping and bring a bit of cheer to my colleagues. I will likely make this card in many forms – most of my staff has coffee as a vice.

You can check out the full video on how I made this card on my You Tube channel or on my FB page. The basic inspiration for this card came from a sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches. If you ever need quick inspiration this is my go to place. #FMS451

I wish you all a safe (and cookie filled) first week back to school.

Online WOrkshop

Good Evening!! I am popping in here to share with you three cards that I created for an Online Workshop this weekend. I highlighted some great sets from the new Aug – Dec Catalogue. I travelled through the holidays – Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas.

My favourite time of year is Autumn and Thanskgiving, so I started with an autumn Love of Leaves card. This card was created using a sketch from TGIF Challenges. #tgifc278

Next up a card case from the US demo Melissa Miller using Celebration Tidings. Such a fun and quick card!

Finally some silver bells using the Sounds of the Season dies. This card was created for this workshop and for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I adore using sketches to create.

For more details about the cards I created you can check out my video in my Online Stampin Workshop group or scroll down for a full shopping list for each card.

Happy Stampin!
