Fresh Vintage and Elementary Elegance Stamp Sets…a little sneak peek!January 21st, 2012 Posted on January 21st, 2012, one response.
It was a party in my stamp room yesterday! I had a ball diving into all the new products that will be available on Tuesday through Stampin’ Up’s Sale-a-bration promotion. Here is a sneak peek at some new goodies…the video tutorial for this card will be up on StampNation on Tuesday morning to kick off our week long Sale-a-bration Celebration! There has been a lot of talk on the message boards at SN about becoming a better and more confident paper crafter. One way that I’ve become a better paper crafter is to CASE…when I began rubber stamping almost 9 years ago, I copied every single card I made for over a year! In the video for this card, I will show you where I got my inspiration and how I created all the little details that make up this card. If you are interested in taking your paper crafting to the next level in a supportive, passionate setting, I encourage you to join us at StampNation! All the details and registration here. Just a few of the many benefits of membership include:
Hope to see you there and stay tuned…more Sale-a-bration details are coming! This card was made with the following Sale-a-bration products (choose one for every $50 purchase!):

I {Heart} Hearts Stamp SetJanuary 16th, 2012 Posted on January 16th, 2012, 3 responses.
One of my downline, Cam Cao, lives in my neighborhood and borrows stamps and goodies from me from time to time. I never mind lending to her because she always makes me a beautiful card for when she returns my goodies. Of course, I don’t expect one, she is welcome to borrow! But boy, what a treat it is when I get presented with a beauty such as this! Cam used the Word Play Stamp Set along with the I {Heart} Hearts Stamp Set to bust right out of the traditional white and pink Valentine’s card. I just love it! Don’t you? I’m suffering from a spotty, slow internet connection and I’m worried that it’s going to slow me down in my plans….plans that include bring you another video in the series on the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit tomorrow…stay tuned! Thanks for popping in and have a wonderful day!

Oooh la la! It’s time for the 3rd video in the series using the absolutely fabulous Fashionable Hearts Embosslit by Stampin’ Up! I’ve already told you the more I use this Embosslit, the more I love it. I’ve made 4 cards so far and they all have a completely different look to them! Here’s a little peeksie at a video tutorial I posted for StampNation Members last week. Totally different look with a few fun elements added to it. This video also showed a tip on lining up your punches when using multiple "windows" on a project. If you would like more details on becoming a member, CLICK HERE.
Here’s what one of StampNation’s newest members has to say: "Catherine……I just found your Blog through your You Tube Videos. I just joined StampNation today. Thank goodness I retire from my fulltime job next week, as I know I’ll spend hours upon hours viewing your videos! I’ve watched several this morning and am already inspired…..can’t wait for my first order to arrive from the new mini catalog! You do such awesome work and your tutorials are so easy to follow. Thanks for being such an inspiration!" Sue This card was quick and easy to make with a half sheet of cardstock cut in half and folded in half, followed by a 4 x 5-1/4" layer to stamp and embellish. The Doily Punch by Stampin’ Up added a sweet, subtle accent to this card. If you haven’t seen how to use this punch yet, CLICK HERE for my video on how to!

Swim WeekendJanuary 9th, 2012 Posted on January 9th, 2012, no responses.
I feel like I was MIA all weekend! I had a downline shoebox swap on Saturday morning (I’ll be sharing those projects with you!), then Saturday afternoon and most of Sunday were spent at Anna’s swim meet. She’s been year-round swimming for a year and a half and she has made so much progress. She swam 8 races and had PRs in 6 of them.
Proud daddy greets her after one race. I’ll be back with more videos in the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit series later in the week, stay tuned!

Fashionable Hearts #2: St. Patrick’s Day Card Making!January 6th, 2012 Posted on January 6th, 2012, 4 responses.
Last week, a customer e-mailed me asking for some ideas on St. Patrick’s Day Card Making. I pretty much knew right away that using hearts to make a 4 leaf clover would be perfect. Yesterday I used the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit to make a bouquet of balloons, then I posted a great Window Hearts Card on StampNation yesterday and today we use it to make a St. Patrick’s Day card…ladies, I do believe we’ve got a series going on here! Be sure to stay tuned, there are more to come! This embosslit is the bomb! Don’t you think? So here’s the video on how this card went down…lots of fun and a few new products! Oooh, and a twist on using those brand spankin’ new Labels Framelits Dies! Viewing this in your inbox? Click on the title of the post to visit my blog. Thanks to Clean and Simple Stamping for the sketch this morning…this is a great sketch to show off the fun shamrock!
