Sneak Peek - Carols of Christmas Blog Hop

Hello Friends

Just ONE MORE DAY to get your Starter Kit in which you will get the gorgeous, new Carols of Christmas stamp set for FREE!!  And as part of your Starter Kit, you can order the Card Front Builder thinlits too - so you'll have everything you need to create the beautiful cards I've posted here.  AND THEN, beginning on Aug1, you can order ANYTHING you want from the Holiday catalogue (no one else can order from it until Sept 1. Won't all your friends be jealous?!?)

Northern Lights with Card Front Builder thinlits - Plain and Simple

If you live ANYWHERE IN CANADA - purchase a starter kit HERE and join my team, the Canadian Sunshine Stampers - and I'll help you discover the inner crafting genius in you!

Today I wanted to show you how you can use the Carols of Christmas thinlits (Card Front Builder thinlits) and the Northern Lights technique to create a stunning card!

I've created 2 versions of this card.  I think you'll love them both!

For the quick and easy card I created a Northern Lights background and layered the cut-out trees (using the thinlits) in front.  I also used the Carols of Christmas stamp set to stamp a deer (using Chocolate Chip ink) and die-cut him using the Card Front Builder thinlits, then placed him in the foreground.  I added some dots of Fine-tip-glue pen plus Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the sky to simulate some stars, and there you have it.  Easy peasy and very effective.

Northern Lights with Card Front Builder thinlits and Embossing Paste (and glitter) snow

The second card is stepped up a bit.  After sponging my northern lights sky, I used the Card Front Builder thinlits to cut out some stars.  And I used embossing paste on the edges of the tree cut outs, then sprinkled on Dazzling diamonds glitter to create snow on the branches.  I also used torn pieces of Whisper White cardstock and roughed up the torn edge, added embossing paste and glitter, to create some snowbanks.  I layered these with trees at varying depths to create a somewhat snowier scene.

The Northern Lights sky was super-simple to create.  I sponged Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise and Berry Burst onto the central portion of some Whisper White cardstock, then sponged the edges of the cardstock with Night of Navy to simulate a dark sky.  I have a "very quick and VERY imperfect" video that I created this afternoon to show how I made this. 

I also created a video a few years ago to show how easy this is to do (see it HERE) and I hope to post a better video tomorrow on how to create this card.  But trust me when I tell you it is super simple and very, very effective!

Remember, you can create this card too with the right materials.  Get the Carols of Christmas stamp set for FREE (and the Card Front Builder thinlits at a discount and an entire month earlier than anyone else) by purchasing a Starter Kit BEFORE JULY 31!!  If you live anywhere in Canada, then join me and become a Canadian Sunshine Stamper today!

Hope you enjoyed seeing my cards and are visiting all of the other blog participants too!  The list is below.  And trust me, some of these projects are ones you will WANT to make yourself! 

Enjoy the week ahead my friends and God Bless,     Cynthia   <><

Celebrations Duo - Happy Happy Days!

Hello Friends
 
A short post, to showcase the other embossing folder that comes with the Celebrations Duo set. 

I used Island Indigo, Elegant Eggplant and Pool Party ink and randomly stamped the leaves from Sheltering Tree to reveal the debossed word.  Then some Indigo and Eggplant dragonflies (LOVE the Dragonfly Dreams thinlits!  

The "happy" word was revelaed by the stamping.  And yes - the resulting card makes me happy indeed.

Close-up of the debossed letters, revealed by the stamped leaves from Sheltering Tree

Rhinestone jewels for bling.  And my work here is done!

My Happy Easter Happy Mail!

Good Morning My Friends

I love it when my mailbox has a hidden surprise in it.  Happy Mail instead of bills!

One of my dear friends sent this to me and I received it - quite happily - on Thursday.  

S.H. is a customer, one of my Team members, and more importantly, a dear friend - and I LOVE this card she made for me.  So cute and so thoughtful.  Wouldn't you agree?  

And this is not the first time she has sent a handmade card in the mail to me!

Even though we see each other at least once a month, I love how she thinks of me from time to time and sends me gorgeous little pick-me-up cards in the mail.  We should all be as thoughtful as her and send more happy mail to our friends and family - and more often too - don't you think?

And just a note to all of you - if, like S.H. you would like to get all your Stampin' Up! treasures at a DISCOUNT then contact me.  You really should think about purchasing a Starter Kit.  It is always a good deal but until March 31, it is an even better deal.  
You pay only $125 [NO s&h and NO TAX] but you get to choose $195-worth of goodies!!  That is an EXTRA $40 FREE goodies.  Anyone in Canada can sign up to be on my team - the Canadian Sunshine Stampers - I would love to let you know how we can save you money and get you more of the stampin' treasures you want.  Contact me for more information.

In the meantime, there is much to do this Holy Saturday morning.  Prep work for tomorrow's Easter feast.  A little bit of chocolate to attend to.  And as I look around this room, a little bit of cleaning to do too!  (ok.  Maybe a LOT of cleaning to do....)

Have a wonderful, blessed and glorious Easter my friends!
God Bless,     ~Cynthia   <><

Happy Anniversary To Me!

Hi there Friends

I got the most amazing surprise in the mail today!!   :)

Today (Nov 24 - when I am typing this) is my 4 year anniversary.  Four years ago today I bought my Starter Kit.   I bought it for the discount, because as everyone knows, I had NO INTENTION of becoming a demonstrator.  

Ha!  Look at me now!!

At any rate, today in my mailbox I found this wonderful card from Stampin' Up! Canada, congratulating me on my 4-year anniversary.

That is just so cool!!

I have been thoroughly blessed in the past 4 years.  Yes, because I have earned some amazing perks from an amazing company.  But even more so because I have met some of the most incredible friends and shared smiles and laughter and glitter and ink with them!

It just so happens that just like 4 years ago when I bought in, Stampin' Up! is offering an amazing deal on their Starter Kit.  In fact, the kit is being offered at 25% off.  So you pay just $93.25, but you choose $155-worth of products.  And you pay NO SHIPPING.  And no HST (you do pay PST if you are in Quebec).

There are so many reasons to purchase the Starter Kit - any time, in fact - but this week in particular the deal just can't be beat!  Want more information?  Check out THIS PAGE, or contact me and ask.  I would be only too happy to let you in on all the reasons this deal is the best Christmas present you could give yourself.  And what's more.....it will give me an excuse to get inky with you sometime soon!

Hope you are all enjoying your week.  My surprise Anniversary card has me grinning from ear to ear and I can't wait to reproduce this beauty for some of my own Team members!  Thank you Stampin' Up! Canada for a wonderful start to my week!

God Bless you all,      ~Cynthia   <><
