Well ... another month gone!

Where does the time go? It feels like it was just Christmas time (and not Christmas in July)! 

This weeks card is a little shabby, a little sparkly and a whole lot of fun to make!

Peacock...

That's all I'm going to say! If it has a peacock it must be good, right? I got the stamp and die set I used on aliexpress.com. It's nowhere nearly as good as the Stampin' Up! sets and it's a good bit smaller. The store I got mine from no longer has it but if you go to the website and do a search on Royal Peacock several choices should pop up. 

I got that one to use until I could get the Royal Peacock bundle from Stampin' Up! and thought it would make a nice addition to the "real" one. A lot of people must have liked the Royal Peacock set because I tried to order it several times and couldn't get it and I'm a DEMONSTRATOR! I finally got it on this last order and even now I wasn't sure I would get it - they said it was "low inventory". 

Now if I could only get a Purple Posy ink pad I'll be a happy camper!

I'm back to doing flowers & lace!

This weeks card is a very feminine card with pastel colors. I used that beautiful watercolor look floral branch from Butterfly Wishes as the focal point of the card. In the video I show how I did the multicolor stamping of it! And keeping with the pastel theme my lace is die cut from the new colored vellum from Stampin' Up!

Good Morning Magnolia!

I know, I know it's not morning! We WILL be using the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set from Stampin' Up! though! I recommend getting the bundle, you'll save a bit when you get the stamp set & the coordinating die set at the same time. 

Before I show you the card, I wanted to talk about how I clean my silicone mats. I've found that a damp paper towel or a baby wipe works best for everything from inks to glitter! I've seen people swear by swiffer dusting cloths for glitter and it works great on a table top but not so good on the silicone (it kinds sticks to it). So that's it! That's why I love the silicone mats so much, they are just so low maintenance!

And here's this week's card! I talk about a few ways to do this card in the video. You can stamp it, you can use black embossing powder or you can max it up like I did and use the Shimmer Black Stampin' Emboss Powder that Stampin' Up! has just come out with!

I got a new crafting mat!

Whoo hoo! Actually I have 2 new ones, they came as a 2 pack! And they're clear,  well almost clear anyway. If you follow my videos you know I've been using a pink silicone baker's mat and that has lasted for well over 2 years but my kitties use it as a landing pad to get onto my table and the claw slits have started adding up. It makes my craft area look so much neater! I found them HERE on Amazon and they're a nice big 25" x 17" size.

Oh, you want to see this weeks card? Ok! We'll be playing with some Magnolia things today! This will be one of the last videos with that old pink mat!
