Holiday mini samples

Today you will be seeing some samples from the holiday mini catalog. This is quite possibly the BEST holiday mini catalog I have ever seen from SU. I LOVE so many things in this catalog and my wish list is LONG! I did a swap with my downline for the holiday mini and you will be seeing some of their creations for the next few days. These first two come from a daughter and mother. Rachel recruited with me and then recruited her Mom to join in the FUN! So the first card comes from Rachel Takala.

Rachel used The Joyous Celebrations stamp set, the lacy brocade textured impressions embossing folder(tief), core'dinations cardstock--all of which are from the holiday mini. She also used some things from the regular catalog like the polka dot TIEF, cherry cobbler seam binding, extra large oval punch, dotted scallop ribbon border punch, etc. Very nicely done Rachel!

Rachel's mom, Mary Roggenkamp, made this beautiful card. She used the stamp set called Snowflake Soiree from the holiday mini. The Merry Christmas comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes from the Annual Catalog. Triple time stamping is so pretty. The designer ribbon slides are in the holiday mini on page 31. Those with the scrunched up seam binding add a nice touch. Very pretty Mary!

Scensational Season

This is a fun card I created for a swap that I participated in recently. The gate card is a fun fold to work with. It uses Be of Good Cheer dsp and Scensational Season stamp set. You can find the stamp set in the holiday mini on page 16 along with the framelits called holiday collection that match this set. I used two different patterns of dsp as you can see in this picture.

The greeting is made with the decorative label punch--it's a fun technique. It is also how the card stays shut.

And the following picture will show how it looks open.

Pursuit of Happiness is the stamp set the inside greeting comes from.

Wedding cards

Today's post are some wedding cards that I needed to make recently. I used some retired products from Stampin' Up! along with some current ones to complete these.

I used the set Word Play which is currently in our main catalog--I love this set and have used it a bunch. The satin red ribbon is retired along with the groom paper (the black printed paper). The hearts come from some embosslits used with the BIG SHOT and the full heart punch all of which are current merchandise. Anyway, have a great Friday!

Holiday Mini Catalog

The holiday mini catalog went live yesterday. We had a busy day on the ranch yesterday so posting info today about it. Many of you have gotten these in the mail already from me. If you would like one email me at rheastamps@hotmail.com ; I would be happy to get one to you. There is tons of fun stuff in there. You can view the catalog by clicking this link . It should take you to my website and you will find it online there. Stay tuned for some samples from this cute little catalog coming in the near future here on my blog. I have been doing some swaps to get lots of ideas for you to look at. :-) Thanks for stopping by today.

Time is flying!

Wow time just gets away from me it seems! I hope you all had a Happy and safe 4th of July! Today I am sharing a couple more swap cards.

This card was created by Kimberly Allen. I love the colors, all the attention to detail, and accessories used in this card. I hope the picture will show all of this. She has lots of dimension. She used language of friendship and the comfort cafe dsp.

This card was designed by Diane Winter. She also used the new comfort cafe dsp and the Tea Shoppe stamp set that made the current catalog from the occasion's mini from earlier this year. She used some dimensionals for a bit of lift on the middle teacup and flowers. Very pretty card. Have a great day!

More swap cards

I am posting some more swap cards today from a recent swap that I participate in.  I know that you all love seeing the creations and I love to share them with you.

This one was made by Linda Heller.  She used a new stamp set called World Treasures found on page 98 of the new catalog.  She also used the international bazaar dsp (pg. 164).  The peacock was done with markers and has lots of bling with rhinestones and glitter.  Linda always decorates the inside of her cards as well and this one has a strip of the dsp inside.  Very bright and pretty.

This one was made by Tina Rappe.  She used the Layered Labels stamp set found on page 133.  This set coordinates with the Apothecary Accents Framelits (pg. 191).  This card combines one of our new "in colors"  called summer starfruit with early espresso.  The button is a new accessory found on page 176 and you get an assortment of 3 different designs.  The banner is made from a piece of the comfort cafe dsp (pg. 163).  I love all the new products that Tina used on this card!  Thanks for checking in with me today!
