Hooray for Surprises!!

HOORAY FOR SURPRISES!!

This is one of the cards that I made for my Tuesday stampers yesterday.

I had some of the BEE MINE DSP left over from the January to April 2024 Mini Catalog and loved this version inspired by Melissa M

Also used: Radiating Stitches Dies and the Ruched Pool Party Ribbon that was a freebee during 2024 SAB.

Why am I sharing this since it is retired and no longer available? 

Because the 2025 SAB brochure and Mini Catalog are right around the corner and I don't want you to miss out on the free products that will be available to you starting January 7th and going through February 28th. Stay tuned - I can't wait to share with you what will be available to you.

If my stampers want to change this card up to be a Valentine card, I totally let them have the freedom to switch things up.

Team Make & Take

 One thing we really enjoy at our team meetings is the Make & Take project after we go over the "happenings" with Stampin' Up! and honor birthday's, anniversaries and top sales.

Some months my team members volunteer to handle the Make & Take project, but this month it was my turn.

I chose to feature this ACCORDION FUN FOLD inspired by Linda

Two versions - I used the designer paper that I had a ton of left over from the 2024 Sale a bration brochure.

I had a couple of the polar bear version.

When making this fun fold you want to be sure that both sides of the designer paper is coordinating well.

Card Base: 5-1/2 x 4-1/4

DSP: 12x5-1/4 scored at 2", 5" & 8"

Basic White inside: 2-3/4 x 5

The piece on the left side is 1-3/4 x 5

The front tag for the sentiment is from COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS

I was anxious to try this same fun fold with some of my other retired designer papers.

Our backyard neighbors have chickens and it is so cute to see the little girls go out to the coop each morning to collect the eggs. I didn't have any of the chicken themed stamp sets so I grabbed some images from google clip art. So cute!! I'm sure little Eve will get this baby chick card for her birthday next month.

One of my team members, Pam, took up the challenge and she made this pretty version

Stampin' Up! has the BEST designer paper and this fun fold is perfect for using up our designer paper that we keep hoarding. (just be sure that you like both sides of the designer paper to make it works best)

We'll see if more team members take up the challenge 

I can't wait to make this fun fold up with the NEW DSP that will be coming out in the January-April Mini Catalog and the Sale a bration brochure. I love Sale a bration time! (January7-February 28th) - so many fun things that you can earn for free. STAY TUNED!!

Playing With Otters

At our last team meeting I shared what I had been working on with the OTTERLY AMAZING stamp set and DSP
I guess this first card would be considered a double Z-Fold - I just love it! it was inspired by Karen Hadler

I think my favorite is this Anniversary card inspired by Bree Wrenwick

The measurements for this first card are:

11x4-1/4 scored at 5-1/2 & 8-1/4

the insert Z-Fold - 3-1/2x10 scored at 4-1/2 &7-1/4

Also used: Deckled Rectangles Die (3-1/2 x 2-1/4)

Stampin' Blends: Pecan Pie & Crumb Cake

Extra Greenery die cut with Lemon Lime Twist & Garden Green

I used a retired stamp for the anniversary greeting. The heart die is from FRIENDS FOR LIFE

I also used some Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls 

This next card was inspired by Dawn Griffiths

The next several cards were inspired by Lynn Dunn who made these first 4 cards using a one sheet wonder plan

The next cards were made from the one sheet of 12x12 DSP that has these darling watery scenes

And one tip I learned from Kate Morgan is to put Versa Mark on the water and then heat emboss it with Clear Embossing Powder. It's hard to see in this next photo how shiny it is, but I think it adds a nice element to the water area. I actually have a Versa Mark pen which made it much easier than using a paint brush and the Versa Mark refill.

This saying is so cute, I think that I will have to give it to my hubby for our anniversary.

This next card is also from that same piece of 12x12 and makes a nice Z-Fold scene card. I added a piece of Basic White card stock to the back to add the sentiment/greeting.

And a scrapbook page!  I love it!! Now what photo will I add to this page?

Creative Crew Shares

Last night was our November Creative Crew team meeting.

We all love to share and I love to share them all with you

Rochelle shared these cards  

And then she was so sweet to treat everyone who attended this pouch that holds a pack of 6x6 DSP (she did not give everyone a pack of DSP) plus the cute little matching coffee holder. (some had tea, some had coffee)

Inez and Pam both made these cute cards using the POCKET THOUGHTS Die and stamp set

Inez and Chris both made this style card

Inez also shared this next card

Pam also shared this next card using the SPLENDID AUTUMN DSP

and this pretty Christmas card

Lynda shared some super sweet Christmas Cards - She pulled out a retired embossing folder to create these two cards by inking up the embossing folder before running it through the stamp & cut & emboss machine.

I think this is my favorite Christas card and all she used was scraps - it has such a rustic charm

Carla shared 3 wedding cards

And two fall cards

and one Christmas card - my favorite stamp set that cam out this year: Shepherds Care

Debbie shared this cute gift card holder using the LATTE LOVE stamp set and the coordinating DSP

A couple team members shared but were not able to attend the team meeting
