Premade Christmas Morn

Hello Friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends!

This is Jacquie and I am here to share a little AFTER Christmas cheer with you.  I know that Christmas is over, but, I would love to share the Christmas card that I made for my mother.  I used our SNSS Christmas Morn and SNSS Jesus is Born clear stamp sets.

I started with a plaid, premade card base.  Then I cut out a rectangular, green panel and a small, square red panel.  Once the panels were ready, I stamped my tree image onto the green with Versafine black ink.  I stamped the sentiment onto the red with the same ink and embossed it with some Ranger, fine detail, clear embossing powder.  I added some Recollections tinsel glitter to the tree image and popped both panels up with some 3m foam tape.  To finish off my project, I added a few sequins!

Hope you like this card, as much as my mother did!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!

Birthday Blessings

Good Morning, Good Morning!

How are you friends?  Jacquie here, to share a QUICK birthday card with you.  The card I am sharing today, is created with scraps I had in my little scrap bin!  I LOVE being able to utilize my "left overs"!  I also used the SNSS Birthday Word Die and the SNSS Companion Words clear stamp set!  I cut a brown rectangle and then cut my shimmery paper out in a fishtail like banner!   I stamped the blessings sentiment in TH Twig Distress Ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then I just added some sequins and rhinestones! Voila!!  A QUICK birthday card for a guy!  I LOVE how versatile this die and stamp set are!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing with me today!  Have a WONDERFUL day!

Birthday Wishes

Good Morning, good morning!  Jacquie here to share with you today!  Today I have an Autumn birthday creation for you!  The Autumn Mum Greetings clear stamp set is one of my FAVORITES, especially for this time of year, it is PERFECT!

So, I layered some kraft CS onto my chocolate CS and away we went!  I stamped my mums and added a partial sentiment from the Birthday Word Art clear stamp set.  Then I finished my card off with a LOVELY Birthday die cut and some various sequins/gems.

The Birthday die is just a SNEAK at what is coming your way this Friday!!  We are SO excited to share our NEW release, so be sure to join us for our November Release blog hop!

Oh.......and don't forget about our November Sweet Perks Club!  There are some really SWEET bundles available!  You won't want to miss out!

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing with me today!  Have a WONDERFUL day!

It's Your Day...........

Good Morning Friends!!  How are you?  Jacquie here, to share with you!

I have found that I am all about the simple creations these days.  I just LOVE the way they look!  So, I have a lot of pre-made card bases and even a lot of FIRST layers ready to go.  That being said, this card is right up my alley.  Hope you like it, as much as I do!

I used my green polka dotted base and layered a piece of GP white cardstock on top of it.  Then I used the SNSS GRUNGE ELEMENTS clear stamp set, to make my paint swatches.  I stamped my sentiment, from the SNSS BIRTHDAY WORD ART clear stamp set, and used my SNSS STAR DIE SET to cut out some matching stars.  I finished my project off with a clear Wink of Stella brush marker on the top star, Orchid twine,  and some pearls/rhinestones.  Easy Peasy!

Thanks for stopping by and have a WONDERFUL day!

Thank You.........

Hello friends!  Jacquie here, to share with you!  How are you and what's new?

I am excited to share my little creation with you today!  I have been seeing a lot of banners and ink sprays/splatters being used and I wanted to give it a try!  So here is what I came up with.

I started out with a pre-made kraft card base and then added a layer of Georgia Pacific white.  I used Memento Rich Cocoa ink to stamp out a few borders from the SNSS Borders & Backgrounds clear stamp set and cut them out with the matching Borders & Backgrounds die set!  I just love when stamps and dies match; it makes for EASY card/project making.  Once my borders were cut out, I trimmed them down to make banners and placed them on my white layer; off centered a bit of course.  After the banners, I  used my mini mister to spritz some Mandarin Perfect Pearls (a little mixed with water) onto my project; I only used a bit, as I did not want my paper to get all wonky from being wet!  I stamped some leaves from the SNSS Leaf Silhouettes clear stamp set in Memento Clay and Tangelo; cutting them out with the matching Leaf Silhouettes die set!  Before I added the leaves to my project, I put together and stamped a sentiment from the SNSS Thankful Blooms clear stamp set.  Another thing I REALLY love is being able to make my own sentiments with different fonts.  I just LOVE the way it looks.  Once all the above was done, I completed my card by adding my leaves with 3D foam tape and adding some various embellishments.

Hope you enjoyed my little creation today!  Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come back tomorrow, one of our DT will have more to share with you!  Have a WONDERFUL day!

Many Thanks.........

Hello friends!  Jacquie here to share with you!  I thought I would share one of my FAVE September Release creations!

I used the Forest Silhouettes Clear Stamp Set and the matching Forest Silhouettes Die Set for this project.  These are a GREAT pair, as they really make card making simple.  I stamped my trees with Versafine black ink, made a little snow with a sponge of Danube Blue Memento ink, and finished off my base with a little clear Stickles.  Have to have some sparkle for the snow, on the ground and the trees!

Once all that was ready, I stamped my bird in Black Versafine, cut it out with the matching die, popped it up with foam tape, and added my sentiment.  Lastly I added a silver ribbon and voila!  A simple thank you card for a guy or a girl!

Hope you enjoyed my creation!  I look forward to seeing what you all create with our NEW September Release stamps and dies!

Have a WONDERFUL day!

Sweet Perks Leaf Silhouettes Bundle

Morning Everyone!

Jacquie here, to share a SWEET creation with you!  I cannot believe we are in September already.  I have to admit, that we are coming into my FAVE season! So, to go with the my FAVE, Fall season, I created a little something with our NEW Leaf Silhouettes Bundle.

I layered some pumpkin colored CS and white CS, for my base.  I created my panel by stamping the image off once, onto a scrap, before stamping it onto my panel.  I did this for all 3 of the leaf images/colors. After my panel was ready, I stamped 3 directly onto some white CS, so I could die cut them with my Big Shot.  I used a little foam tape to pop up those single leaves; then completed my creation with some pumpkin colored twine and gold sequins.

Hope you enjoyed my card share.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Be sure to check out our NEW Sweet Perks Club!  It's a WIN-WIN!!

You're A Star!

Good Morning Friends!!  Jacquie here to share with you today!  Today I have an card of encouragement to share with you!  Can you believe that it is ALMOST time to send the kiddos back to school?  Wow, this summer went QUICK!

So, with school in mind and my kids in mind, I created this card.  I LOVE to give my kids positive reinforcement! The set I used it PERFECT for that!  While creating I followed the Splitcoast sketch from yesterday, SC499, and added a bit to it.  Here is the sketch for you to check out.

Here is what I did with the sketch!  I used a pre-made black card base and added 2 panels of DCWV patterned paper.  Now, these were just scraps, as I like to use up what I can.  I added stars from the You're A Star clear stamp set and I combined 2 phrases from the set, to make my sentiment.  After piecing the whole thing together, I completed my project with some red bakers twine and green sequins.  I think this will make a GREAT card for my son!

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a WONDERFUL day!

For Your Wedding

Good Morning Friends!  Jacquie here on this rainy morning to share with you!  I created the card below for my step son.  He just got married last weekend and their colors were eggplant and black.  So, I got out my SU Eggplant ink and my Versafine Black ink out.  Then, I thought the Thankful Blooms clear stamp set and coordinating Thankful Blooms die set would be perfect!  Now, of course I couldn't really, THANK them for getting married?  Haha!  So, I used the, "Just For You", stamp from the Birthday Art clear stamp set!  Ahhh.....I love it when you can utilize your stamp sets for ALL kinds of occasions!  I completed my card with a scrap of black ribbon, as I am all about using up those scraps, and some clear sparklers!  Hope you like my creation and thank you for stopping by!  Have a WONDERFUL day!

Christmas Morn

Good Morning Friends!  I hope you are having a GREAT start to your week!  Jacquie here to share with you!  Today I am sharing a Christmas in July creation.  We have some AWESOME new clear stamp sets that were just released, that are just PERFECT for your clean and simple, Christmas creations!

I used  a pre- folded black card and layered a piece of white cardstock on top.  Then I stamped my little horse on a separate piece of white and cut it out with my Spellbinder circles.  I sponged a circle of Real Red ink, then popped up my horse on top of it.  I wanted to add a little something to it, so I added some green sequins and  a sentiment to complete my creation!  This card is definitely something I will be able to mass produce, for the upcoming holiday season!  I just LOVE that rocking horse, don't you?   Thanks for stopping by to visit with me today and have a WONDERFUL week!

Vacation with a NEW release!

Hello Sweet friends!  Jaquie here to share with you all, WHILE I am on vacation in Williamsburg, VA!  You know you are a crafter, when you take your "stuff" along for the ride!  Haha!  Here is a little something I created with our NEW release stamp sets!  These sets are SO versatile, I LOVE how I can combine them!  I also LOVE how this card could be for a guy or a gal!  Check it out!

I used my mini paper cutter to create my lime green base and garden green, with white, layer.  I tore the bottom of my garden green layer, to allow for some things at the bottom of my card.  While on vacation, one must improvise!  Then I stamped my sentiments and arrow.  I LOVE how simple this was.  I finished my card with some green twine and lime green sequins!  I sure am stuck on the sequin thing!

Thanks for visiting with me today and don't forget to play along with this week's Friday Feature Challenge!  Until next time, have a WONDERFUL Sunday!

Alrighty,  I have a little card creation to share with you all!!  Have you had a chance to check out this week's Friday Feature stamp set?  This week's Feature was the Sunshine & Flowers Clear Stamp Set and it is such a CUTE set!  Take a look!

What do you think?  SWEET, huh?  You can create ANYTHING with this one!  Anything from a CAS project to an elaborate project, this set is FUN to work with!

For my card I used large daubers to sponge different hues of blue and green SU Ink, onto a piece of GP white cardstock. then I stamped my main flower image and sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black.  I used this particular ink, so I could go back in and add a little color to my flowers, with my Copic Markers.  The Memento Ink does not bleed when you color with markers and that is AWESOME!  After that was done, I had to go back and add some light yellow sequins.  I am pretty sure I am STUCK on the whole sequin thing!  Haha!  Once all my elements were added, I then mounted it on a SU Old Olive Cardstock base.  AND?  Voila!

Hope you enjoyed my card share and don't forget to play along with our Friday Feature Challenge, just click the LINK and you can join the fun!  There is STILL time; you have until tonight at MIDNIGHT EST!!  We cannot wait to see what you come up with!  Have a WONDERFUL day!
