Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone. I know that it has been so long since I have posted. However a new year means new starts and I am excited to start up sharing projects and teaching techniques to you all. As you know on January 5th The new Occasions mini catalog items will be available and with that comes Sale-a-bration. With every $50 purchase you make you can earn a free item out of the Sale-a-bration mini catalog. Also they  have some limited time items and will be adding some new items. WooHoo.

As a special treat for those that have ordered from me as a thank you I have created a card. This card measures the traditional 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I used one of our new upcoming stamp sets called Birthday Blooms.

Love this stamp set.  I used some versamark and stamped it onto some kraft cardstock then embossed it with some of our whisper white embossing powder.

Afterward I used some Spectrum Noir color pencils and I colored in the image. I think colored pencils on kraft cardstock looks so vivid and amazing.

To tie it all together I used another one of our new items which is our new Wink of Stella clear  shimmer pen to add some spots of shimmer to the background and the center of the flowers. Then I also stamped a simple sentiment and punched it out with our oval punch. All done. Simple and beautiful.

If you would like to get your copy of the new occasions mini catalog or sale-a-bration catalog simply e-mail me at craftinalli@gmail.com and I will be happy to send a copy out to you.

Alternative Paper Pumpkin Projects

Hello everyone. As you can see I was having tons of fun with my Paper Pumpkin kits. I can't wait until I can get more. In my video I referenced all the stamp sets used in order to make these various projects. They can all be purchased from my online Stampin'Up! site , and now is the best time to sign up to get Paper pumpkin because for a limited time you can get it for half off the first two months  by using the code HALFOFF when you sign up.  That is an incredible savings. Normally around $19.95 per month (shipping included) that would take the price down dramatically.

Sunday Project Share

Here is another project.I am in love with the Timeless Elegance paper. It is so beautiful, just add a little color and you have something that is just amazing for sure. Well this simple fancy fold is so great.  Used in this project is Papillion Potpourri for the butter fly accents that were punched with the bitty butterfly punch. Also used was the Petite pairs stamp set. It just fits perfectly in the triangle window.  Ink used was just watermelon wonder and so saffron and this was applied to some watermelon wonder card stock. Super quick and easy project.

Thank you so much for joining me.

Flip This!

Hello everyone. I was in a great crafting place yesterday and got some pieces done that I am so excited to share. This first project was using your circle thinlet die set.Also used the bitty butterfly punch to add a great accent to the card . All stamping came from  the butterfly basics stamp set. You can purchase yours from my site at www.craftinalli.stampinup.net under shop now. I used Black berry bliss to stamp the image and to ink the image so that it would pop. Here is a great tip. I really wanted some ribbon however my order did not come in yet, so I decided to simply cut a piece of black berry bliss card stock to and attached it like a ribbon. Perfect. :)  Anyway here it is.
