Joyful Stars January 2016 Blog Hop

Happy New Year and welcome to the Joyful Stars January Blog Hop.  If you have come from  Marie's Blog, then you are on the right track. We have a brand new Seasonal Expressions full of fantastic new products and accessories.  You can see it HERE.  My cards are made using the brand new X7205B Charlotte Paper Pack.  This paper pack has 12 pieces of background and texture paper duos (2 each of 6 double-sided designs). I also used the new C1641 Springtime Wishes stamp set and the coordinating Z3201 Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts dies set.  Yes, that is right, we now have some thin metal dies that coordinate with our beautiful stamps!

The first card has random stamped leaves on Whisper Cardstock.  The frame is one of the stamps from the Artistry Cricut Collection and the flowers and Thank You are from Springtime Wishes.

The second card uses the flowers and sentiment from Springtime Wishes and the B & T from the Charlotte Paper Pack.  I embossed some Sweet Leaf Cardstock using Z3019 Vine Embossing Folder, cut it into strips and put the flowers at the top of the "vines" using mounting tape.

Here is a close up of the flowers. They were all cut using the coordinating metal dies and then stamped using the clear Acrylix Stamps.  The clear stamps make it so easy to stamp the cut out image!  The centers are Z3091 Pink Enamel Gems and Z3122 Blue Dots.

I am having a crop on January 16.  Please check out the Events Tab HERE for the details.

Now it is time to hop on over to Debi's Blog to see her wonderful creation.

Happy New Year!

I would like to wish you a happy and healthy 2016.  Hope you enjoyed the holiday season and had plenty of time with your family and friends.  Both of my sons were home for Christmas this year and we had a wonderful time.  I treasured every moment!  I would also like to announce the brand new products from Seasonal Expressions are now available to order.

Click HERE to see all the great new products.  Now that all the festivities are over, I have started playing with them and will be posting some new artwork.  Be sure to stop back soon - especially on January 10 for the Joyful Stars Blog Hop.

December Joyful Stars Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Joyful Stars December Blog Hop. Although I keep checking the calendar - the weather almost fells like Spring!   This is a circular blog so you can just hop along and when you get back to the first blog you visited, you will know you have seen all the projects.  Joyce has the complete list of hoppers on her blog here.

If you arrived here from Donna's Blog, then you are on the right track. I am still enjoying the beautiful White Pines paper packet.  It is not only useful for Christmas cards and layouts, but winter/snow items too.  Here is a card called a circle side step card.  It is not quite what I envisioned when I started - but this is quite often the case for me.  I have an idea that evolves and ends up somewhere completely different than what I originally imagined.  But that is part of the fun for me.  

The card is actually quite large.  The original circle was cut in the White Pines blue background and texture paper and was 6 3/4".  The completed card is about 7" x 6 1/4" and definitely will not fit in a standard envelope.  However, I really like the dimension created by the steps.  The snowman is cut using the new Artistry cartridge.  He is on page 47 of the booklet and he is cut at 4".  The sign was also cut using the font from the Artisty cartridge.  The accents (ornament, deer and bird) are from the coordinating White Pines Complements.  The complements contain so many cute animals and great accents for both cards and scrapbook pages.  

Looking at the card now, I think it would make a beautiful "Baby's First Christmas" card.  The ornament could have the baby's name and the sign could say "First Christmas".  

Here is another photo - I purposely made the snowman large because I planned to use a bow tie from the "Fundamentals Assortment".  However, after I made the snowman, I could not find the bow ties! 

 Crisis averted - I finally found them so now Mr. Snowman is properly dressed!  BTW, the addition of this bow tie is for Joyce and Little Debi who are always trying to "bling up" my cards!  

Now it is time to hop on over to Yvonne's blog. Yvonne is hopping with us for the first time and  I would like to welcome her!

November Crop Cancelled!

Sorry but the crop is cancelled for this Saturday.  I hurt my foot and need to stay off of it.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience.  I will be announcing dates for next year soon.

Joyful Stars November Blog Hop

Welcome to our November Blog Hop.  I'm so happy you can join us this month.

If you arrived here from  Lori's Blog, then you are on the right track.

Joyce and I spent the weekend at the Edison Stamp, Scrap Art Tour so I have not had much creative time lately.  However, Joyce made cute little votive trees and one of the customers asked it if was cut using one of the Close To My Heart Exclusive Cartridges. Since it is a pattern that Joyce created on the Explore, I decided to try to make one from the pyramid tree on the Artiste Cartridge.  So here is the tree from Artiste made in White Pines decorated using poinsettias on page 80 of the booklet.  It is found on page 53 of the booklet - it is 3-D Object cut at 5 1/2".    The photo is a little dark because I wanted the tea light to show through the little holes that are punched in the tree.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Now it is time for you to hop over to Joyce's Blog.
