Snow Much Tags!

Just another 15 days left until Christmas Eve!! How are you tagging your Christmas gifts this year? I'm tagging mine with these quick Snow Much Fun snowman tags I crafted tonight. 

I used the Big Shot Perfect Pennants Bigz Die to make the Old Olive green cut outs and punched out the stamped snowman with a 1-3/4" circle punch.

Very simple!! You'll always need simple especially if you are making 20+ Christmas tags!

Keep Calm and Carry Rum

There is one particular stamp set that I have been itching to use for a long time. The Happy Hour stamp set. It is an all occasion stamp set, one you can even use for Christmas. I wanted to make a fun and humorous card by mixing things up with the hostess stamp set, Carry On.

And coincidentally the colors I used for this card (2012-2014 in-colors) are the same as the ones for this week's Stampin' Royalty Challenge. So I am entering this card for this week. I haven't entered any challenges for almost two years. This would be a fun start to pick it up again.

Make a Cake Card

I finally had some time to play with the new products from the new 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! catalog.
I used the Make a Card stamp set to make this cute birthday card.

The trick to making a perfect cake is to use the Stamp-a-ma-gic. Without the Stamp-a-ma-gic, there is no way of making a cake that stands high and proud.

The cake pattern paper I used is the Patio Party paper that is free if you purchase the Starter Kit during the month of June. Find out what other products you can get with the Starter Kit here. There are also other free products you can choose within the Patio Party Suite.

New 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! catalog!

The new annual catalog is available today June 1, 2012!
There's so much to say about this new Stampin' Up! catalog that I can't sum it up all in one post. The catalog is thinner than the previous ones but I'd call it the most brillant catalog ever. It features samples of different color coordination and has full pictures of fun stamping techniques that I haven't even tried before! It's more than just a product catalog.
You have to see it to believe me.
