Sea of Textures FUN!

So during this time of year everything seems to be focused on our Occasions catalog and our Sale-a-bration catalog.  But today I'm headed back to a favorite set in our Annual catalog - Sea of Textures.  I love this set - in fact the entire suite of products that goes with it is beautiful.
So I've made several of these cards for friends who have been entering the retirement stage of life.  Believe me - retirement is a WONDERFUL adventure! 
This card is sponged with some Tranquil Tide - the I stamped the sea weed in varying heights in both Tranquil Tide and Fresh Fig.  I also stamped a few in Fresh Fig and fussy cut them to layer onto the front to give the card some dimension.  The octopus is also stamped and I cut him out with the coordinating framelits and popped him up too.
You can see that dimension in the view above.  And the little gems I added for bubbles :)  Hope you liked this card - see you soon!  ~Maureen

Picture Perfect Birthday Class

So my first class of the New Year was to make these eight adorable birthday card notecards using the Picture Perfect Suite from the catalog.  This DSP and set make it so easy to put together a bunch of great cards in no time at all.  I have a template in my free inspiration sheet tab above - or just click HERE.
Below are each of the cards close up - each has a different accessory and different image from the DSP - but all are stinkin' cute!







This class was full - and I  have more interest - so thinking about doing an encore class.  In the meantime I'd challenge to get a package of notecards, some cardstock and dsp and a few embelishments and come up with a stack of cards of your own.  You'll feel so good having that stash ready to go.  See you soon!  ~Maureen

Can't beat some Christmas Coffee!

So recently I posted a cup of Fall coffee for the Coffee Lovers Blog hop -  you can see it HERE.   And the thought of having a Pumpkin Spiced Latte in the crisp fall weather - just warms my heart!
But - this set from Stampin' Up! (Coffee Cafe) - was so cute I had to create a Christmas card with it.  I used some DSP for the cup, and then added holiday touches with elements from the Hang Your Stocking set. 
 
My first one was above - and the cup was at an angle - which I loved.  But my daughter thought it looked like it was just falling over - so I made some straight ones also.  Now can't decide which I like better.
But I do know I LOVE coffee - and looking at this card just makes me want to smile.  The wood table was made using the wood designed cup in the set - we just stamped it up and then down to fill in the wood grain.  Then finished it off with our new Smokey Slate gingham ribbon.
 
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (coffee) around here.  Can you almost smell it?!?!  ~Maureen
