Meet Swan Lake

Oh my goodness, are you ready for fall?

Meet Swan Lake.  It's GORGEOUS, elegant with a bit of whimsy.

Swan Lake paper with Thankful For You stamps & Thin Cuts

and

Swan Lake paper with Autumn Wishes stamps

Notice something wonderful about these two card workshops?  The cards are the same.  It's just the difference in the stamp sets.

Sometimes having a whole pack of paper is overwhelming.  Wouldn't it be wonderful to have just what you need?  This kit also includes cardstock that is now sold separately.  

What's not to love?

• A full color instruction guide.
• A full color cutting guide to make 18 cards (or 72 if you use the whole pack of paper)
• My kits include embellishments and all extra cardstock needed to make the 18 cards, 6 designs, 3 each. 
• Very few scraps left over!

Pumpkins (Autumn Wishes B1530) 

Swans (Thankful for You with Thin Cuts Z4007)

Or both!  Each kit make 3 of each card design. You can make both designs!

Have you noticed the new Black Shimmer Ribbon?  It's soft and so easy to work with.  It lays flat for cards too.  You'll get a full roll of this ribbon with each card kit.  

This quarter pack card kit includes

• 5 sheets (6 x  12.5") of the Swan Lake paper pack. The extra 0.5" is for the zip strip at the top
• 3 sheets of cardstock (6x12"), one each of Poppy, Peacock & Goldrush
• 2+  sheets of White Daisy cardstock (6x12").  
• Additional White Daisy Paper 24 pre-cut pumpkins for Autumn Wishes or 2 (6x12") sheets of White Daisy for stamping the swans and floral elements of Thankful For You (You will not receive pre-cut swans)
• 1 roll of Black Shimmer Ribbon Z4012 (3 yards per roll)
• 20 card bases & envelopes from X254 bulk card bases & envelopes.  I'm giving you a couple extra just in case.  
• Electronic copy of the Cutting Guide for the 18 cards.  (This is NOT a pre-cut workshop)
• Electronic copy of the Full Color Assembly Guide.

And your choice of one of these options:

• Autumn Wishes B1530 (Pumpkin stamp set)
• Thankful For You (Stamp set only C1655)
• Thankful For You with Thin Cuts Z4007-This is what I used.  
• Or both stamp sets (Swans & Pumpkins).  (This qualifies you for the GORGEOUS September Stamp of the Month for $5)

Here's a look at the stamps.  Aren't they all wonderful?  I love the September Stamp of the Month and I'm so happy to be able to offer it to you in this kit.

Summer's End Blog hop

Hello friends!

Summer is winding down but I thought I'd leave you with a sweet taste of summer with these cards I created using the One in a Melon stamp set that's available for just a few more days.

If you're joining us from the Summer's End Blog Hop and came from Katy's blog, welcome!  Thank you for stopping by.

I love the cute little pineapples.  This is a Cricut shape on the Artistry Cricut Cartridge.  

Orange You Great! 

I used our now - retired Sunset Ink to make this simple yet wonderful card.  Our Rose Gold Foil Tape goes forever and ever and it's still available, for the next year at least!  I think you could make about 90 of these cards from 1 roll!  

Recognize the smaller melon?  It's really the orange slice!  

All of the watercolor backgrounds were made using our fabulous new medium round water brush and one shade of our watercolor paints.  It couldn't be easier and cleanup is super simple!  

Be sure to get your One In A Melon Stamp C1650 Set before the end of the month!

Thank you for stopping by, if you're hopping, your next stop is Amie's blog Mimi, Myself and I.

Sunday Funny

Sometimes we just gotta clean.  

While I was mopping on Friday morning, this came to mind.  

"My home is so clean you could eat off of a paper plate."

I dislike mopping because I just know that a sticky messy catastrophe will come before the end of the day.  On Friday, it wasn't a full glass of lemonade spilled, but enough...!

While I only have 1 boy, he really does live up to the definition of boy that I saw when he was a baby. 

Anyway, back to crafting!

This is a 3D daisy from the new Flower Market Cricut Cartridge.

I stamped the center with one of the background stamps that comes in the bundle. It's super easy to put together, just a dab of glue between each layer!  

Awesome Looks Good on You

This is probably one of the simplest cards I've made all year.  But look at all the fun! 

Maybe it was super simple because I repurposed my up-line's Father's Day card with a new stampset.  Either way, a teeny bit of Magical Paper has a big impact when paired with our Sapphire Cardstock.

The sentiment was 1 stamp.  I stamped it on a scrap of paper to make a mask so that I could hide the Awesome portion while I stamped the "Looks Good on You" in Sapphire ink.  I then stamped the Awesome in Cranberry on another scrap of White Daisy Cardstock.

Items used:

Magical Paper Pack (available only through 8/31 or while supplies last)

Beyond Awesome Stamp C1644

Grey & White Enamel Gems

Sapphire & White Daisy Cardstock

Sapphire & Cranberry Exclusive Inks  (stick around.  They're in the process of being re-designed to an easy-open pad!)

Sprockets & gears: You Are Some Kind of Awesome

This is the first of two non-floral cards in my August Crafty Virtual workshop.  

I won't say guy card because I know there's girls out there who would love gears over gardenias any day.

This card was created using the Beyond Awesome C1644 stamp set.  It's available only until the end of the month.  

The paper is using our now-retired Later Sk8r Picture My Life cards.  You get 2 each of the large 4x6 cards and 3 each of the 3x4 cards and they're perfect for cardmaking as well as traditional 12x12 scrapbooking.  The lined paper card wasn't trimmed at all.  The sprocket card was trimmed to 5 1/4" from the original 6".  That's it!  They're super simple to use.
