New Die!

I received a die this week that had been out of stock and was finally back! It's from Creative Expressions and it's called Poinsettia Edger. Here are a couple of the cards I made with it so far:

I used Night of Navy for the card base and scalloped circle, Basic White for the sentiment and die cut and Balmy Blue embossed with and old snowflake folder from SU. I embellished with some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

These were fun cards to create and I made a set of 4 to sell at the upcoming Craft Sale at Sassy Stampers. Hope to see you there! I am packaging them in packs of 4 and putting them in acetate boxes. Don't know what the price on them will be yet, I'll figure it out.

Sassy Stampers - November 2022

The get together for the Sassy Stampers stamp camp is coming up on November 5. It will be our regular stamp camp but will also include a craft fair where you can purchase lots of fun things to enhance your holiday decorating and brighten your gift giving load. Here is the card that the campers will be making at my table:
I absolutely love the papers in the Lights Aglow dsp pack that's available in the July-December Mini Catalog. It's absolutely gorgeous and can be used with many different color combinations. I used one of the papers for my focal point and used a stitched circle die cut with a sentiment from Celebrate with Tags. These snowflakes were cut out using the Frosted Flurry Dies. I think that I will probably end up using the snowflakes from the Chic Dies instead. They are a bit more detailed. I also used the dsp on the card front and used some of the Gold Shimmer Ribbon too.

Here is some more information on the camp/sale on November 5:

It is snowing for the first time this season! Not heavy and it probably won't stick around long, but ...

I saw this card ...

... on Facebook and had to give in to the inspiration! Here's my card:
I love the Aspen Trees Dies, so many possibilities. I cut the die using Mossy Meadow card stock and layered it over paper from the New Horizons (retired) collection that was available last spring/summer. I cut the leaves out of Basic White and used my blending brushes to apply the color. I also applied color to the die cut label. Added a twine bow and called it done! The inside says "Fall is proof that change is Beautiful" along with an autumn branch. I love that sentiment!

Delivered some sample cards to the Longmont Senior Center today for display at their open house. It is a great facility and after dropping the cards off, the Captain and I treated ourselves to lunch!

My CASE card - wow do I need to get caught up!

I recently visited the blog of a wonderful stamper named Wanda. If you get a chance go check our her blog. I CASEd her card posted on October 22nd. It was a wonderful card and here is my version:
I had lots of fun making this card. The dsp is from the Rustic Harvest pack and I used a sentiment from Charming Sentiments and added a die cut from the Chic Dies. I did decreasing width panels with the dsp. I kind of like how they look.

I have been really busy the last few months. With the Captain gone for 3½ months, I was kind of at loose ends. I did all my camps and classes and didn't miss a single one until he got home and tested positive for Covid the day after he got home. I tested positive a week later and ended up missing October's Sassy Stampers camp and Stamp Camp North. I am doing much better now and he (of course) is doing great. I will be back on here and catch you up on some of the cards I have made since my last post. Really, I will!
