Mingle All the Way Stamp Set

New Year 2015

Happy New Year 2015 to YOU!

I am blessed beyond all understanding, my cup runneth over, and I am living the dream. My number one goal is to expand my readership and bring you fresh designs with new ideas.

In just FIVE days you will have the opportunity to experience Sale-a-bration with me. I don’t think I have been more excited about the Occasions products like this year. You are in for some very AWESOME treats on January 6th.

Also, just a few more days and I’ll you’ll be reading the BIGGEST news in my paper-crafting career! It’s killin’ me to keep it inside and I am so excited to blurt it out… just not right now! LOL

UPDATE: The news is out! I was chosen to become a member of the Pals Paper Arts Design Team! OMG! Woot woot! Jumping up & down, doing the hokey pokey and putting my left foot in… and turnin’ myself around! Read it here.

MAGGIE MADE THOUGHTS:

You don’t always have to use the entire stamp to design what you want to say on a card.
I used two stamps from the Mingle All the Way set to make this one image.
I stamped the HAPPY with the Metallic Silver Encore Pad and snipped it out. Followed by lower half of a different stamp (in the same set) just to stamp “New Year” with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Never ever be afraid to experiment. This stamped image took me two tries to get it to how I wanted it.

Stampin’ Up! Tools of the Trade:

I don’t know about you, but this card has Fall Happiness written all over it! The vibrant colors of the Color Me Autumn DSP are spot on for Thanksgiving/Fall cards. I made this card as a swap for my Circle of Pals team’s get together and also entered it into the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 238.

The layout was a life-line for me because I had been so busy for the previous two weeks that I procrastinated until the morning of the get together to make the swap cards. Thankfully it was only three cards.

Shari

Shari applied the coloring technique to the black and white feathers in our Back to Black DSP (133700). It gives the paper an entire new dimension and pizzaz.

Theresa

Believe it or not, this little beauty is actually the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Dies from the Holiday Catalog. It’s an envelope made for mini cards, gift cards, or stash a little cash inside of it.

Joy

Va-va-va-voom! This precious rich razzleberry makes me crave plums…LOL.
