Ep.#579 ~ Christmas in July *Coffee Cafe Gift Card Holder/Card!*

Hi there Crafty Friends,

Hold the phone folks - this is a SUPER cute idea for sending a unique card or adding a gift card as well! I love how this turned out and those little coffee cups are just precious ... The holidays are right around the corner so why not start pacing yourself so you can have plenty of beautiful handmade gift ready and you can relax and enjoy all the festivities and merriment of the season. Get a head start and save yourself the headache, not to mention with it being soooooo hot outside, it's a great excuse to stay indoors and keep cool while crafting.

I have been playing some Christmas c.d.'s too while I am creating and it really helps put me in the mood!

Thanks for stopping by, I am so glad that you did...

Big Hugs,

Ep.#578 ~ Christmas In July | Embossed Golden Topiary

 Happy Friday Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying my Christmas in July Series, I am having a wonderful time listening to Christmas music and making cards! 

Today I had an idea for the garland stamp from the "At Home With You" stamp set (I know, yes I am using it again...). I also love the look of embossing on Christmas cards, it just steps the card up a bit.

This is such a pretty card and would be very easy to mass produce on a larger scale. 

I hope this gives you another idea for using your stamps a little differently than what they are designed for, give it a try yourself. It's fun to come up with unique ideas when creating our cards.

Thanks for watching and have a great weekend ~

Happy Hugs,

Ep.#577 ~ Merry Christmas Card | "At Home With You" BY Stampin' Up!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Crafty Friends,

We are just a little less than six months until Christmas and all the festivites will be in full swing, gosh - the time always flies when the 4th of July is over... I am using the fantastic stamp set "At Home With You" from Stampin' Up! in todays tutorial. I have been using it a lot lately and I love how versitile this set is. I had this idea rolling around in my head and thought that the ribbon stamp from this set would make a really cute country star! Well what do you know - it did, lol!!!

I am really happy with the simple, rustic feel of this card - just lovely.

I hope this challenges you to try to think outside of the box so to speak. Try using your stamps in different ways, it's fun to see what you can come with.

Please share YOUR projects with everyone over on my Facebook page: The Happy Stamper

I would love to see all the fun ideas you come up with! Make sure to like my page and share your cool tips and tricks with all of us.

Episode #503~ "Foxy Friends" and Double Textured Background By: Stampin'...

Happy Sunday Everyone,

  I am excited ( I know, I usually am...) to share this reeeaaaallly sweet card I "c.a.s.e.d" from Tammy M. on Pinterest with all of you! I LOVE this super cool technique "Double Textured/Embossing" background - OMGoodness, it's just adorable!!! Not to mention the to die for stamp set Foxy Friends, *Sigh*...

There is so much cuteness in this stamp set I can't wait to create more projects with it. Also available is the matching punch to make it very easy to punch out the shapes and create different little critters.

If you are an animal lover like me, you will love this set and have a BIG smile on your face when you create cute projects with it.

  We are going camping this week, so I am already visualzing some scrapbook pages I want to make with it - Eeeeekkkk!



  Thank you for watching and I hope each and everyone of you have a fan-tab-u-lous week ahead, keep a smile on your face. I'll miss you guys, but I will be back next week.

Happy Hugs,

Episode # 501 ~ "Christmas in July" Card...

  Happy Christmas in July Everyone,

  I have been busy creating some beautiful Christmas cards trying to get a head start on mine that I try to send out the day after Thanksgiving. I know you are probably thinking - what??? Well, it will be here before we know it and I really don't like to be rushed and hurried trying to do it all.

  This is also one of three cards that you will recieve as my *FREE KIT With Purchase* when you place a $40 order (before tax and shipping) through my Stampin' Up! online store during the month of July!      ***YOU MUST USE THE JULY HOSTESS CODE: MYQSH9C9***  The other two card kits are just as pretty and sparkly... *Sigh*

  If you like embossing and the elegant look of foil detailing, you will love this card! These would be easy, peasy to recreate and make a bunch of all at once.

  Don't forget tomorrow is the last day to enter my 500th Video Give-Away featuring the darling "Pokemon Survival Kit" that I shared last week with all of you. My teenagers are having a blast playing, so make sure you enter by midnight Central time so you can have a chance to win it!
