Bright & Beautiful Lost Lagoon


I just love the simple traditional images in the Bright & Beautiful stamp set. The fact that the Star Framelits match perfectly is a major bonus! I know of lot of you purchased these as a bundle recently during the recent Bigshot promotion & just might be looking for ideas.  I came across a cute card by Carla Blake on Pinterest that I thought would really work for a little set I was creating.  I have changed mine a bit but I love it in Lost Lagoon so have kept that colour base.  I have made my stars a bit more 3d & have also created a little matching star box.


I have used the new Confetti Stars Punch & the new Lucky Stars Textured Embossing Folder on the card & went for a star overload!   This little duo is my class project for September, so if you would like to make them send me an email or call me to book your place.  I have a classes tab up the top of my blog with all the details.   

Thanks For Looking,

Make It Calm Christmas Tree - CASE-ing the Catty Challenge #7


I love the look of the whole home decor scene on page 20 of the Holiday Catalogue, don't you?




The greens, silvers & blues are so pretty yet calming.  It reminds me of a Scandinavian/natural scene.  I thought I would try and make one of the trees in the scene.  Let me tell you it wasn't as easy as it looked & I wasn't entirely happy with the result.  I don't have those cute snowflakes so I have used the Bright & Beautiful Star bundle. I used the new Tree Punch to punch out lots of Pear Pizzazz trees & then I hot glued them upside down to a styrofoam tree.





What I love is that all the Stampin' Up! catalogues have so many options to copy or get ideas from.  I found a great blog the other day that does just that.  It is called CASE-ing the Catty  & there are so many great ideas there.  This week they are CASE-ing home decor items.  I hope my tree is suitable to enter! 

Thanks For Looking,

Bright & Beautiful Star Bundle


It is never too early to start Christmas card making, am I right?  Stampin' Up! are offering a great deal at the moment with their Bigshot promotion.  For those of you who are unaware, if you buy a Bigshot in August you can choose from 5 Stamp & Framelit bundles for free! (see my promotions tab up top)   Woohoo - I love a freebie!   If you already own a Bigshot you can order these bundles at 15% off.  That is exactly what I did to get my hands on the gorgeous new Bright & Beautiful Stamp set & matching Star Framelits.

I actually cased this card from the new Holiday Catalogue (p. 25) which will be going live in a weeks time.  Not long to wait to order from it, but you can buy this bundle right now as a special promotion.



To make this card I got out my gold embossing powder & heat gun & embossed onto Vanilla card stock.   Gotta love the Dictionary background stamp for versatility.  I used Gorgeous Grunge for my gold splotches.  Oh & let me tell you…that Cherry Cobbler linen ribbon in the top left has to be the best ribbon SU have ever come up with.  It feels so luxurious & ties beautiful bows.  The Rhinestones were coloured using the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities to give them a nice deep red shine.
