Artistically Asian

Happy Friday, everyone! Every year I hope to see more Asian inspired stamp set in the Stampin' Up! catalog and this year as soon as I saw the Artistically Asian stamp set, I knew I had to have it. It was in my very first catalog order. So, here's my first attempt using this set. I was very pleased with the finished card. It's very elegant and yet simple.

Fairy Celebration

Happy September, everyone! I am so excited for the "ber" months and so looking forward to the cooler weather. I want to share with you a card that we created in class last week. When I was a little girl, I had a very wild imagination and used to imagine that my younger sister and I were fairies like Thumbelina or Tinkerbell. I used to dream that we were so magical and could fly in and out of places without people knowing. So, I made this card to revisit my childhood. I used Glossy Accents on the flower petals and cherries and Stickles on the wings.

Glossy Accents and Stickles were applied on the flower petals, cherries and wings

August 2016 Paper Pumpkin

This month's Paper Pumpkin kit color combo already reminded me of fall. I just love the richness of the colors in this kit and the versatility of the stamp set. I also see possibilities of masculine cards with this kit and if you're a cardmaker like me, you know how challenging it can be to create masculine cards.

Well, I hope you are already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. If not, it's not too late to join the fun an creativity in a box. If you're a paper crafter like me, please give it a chance. You can cancel it anytime if you're not completely satisfied.

Please sign-up by September 10th in order to receive next month's kit by going to mypaperpumpkin.com and please remember to choose me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator: Melinda Pascual.

Thank you for stopping by!

Thoughtful Branches & A World of Thanks

August has been such a hectic month, with back to school, two cards class, stomach issues and work, it seemed like I blinked and the month is almost over. Where does the time go? I know, I know - it's on my face, fine lines and wrinkles, on my head disguised as gray hairs and all my aches and pains. Haha, leave it to me to ruin a blog post and Friday morning.

I want to share with you a couple of really easy and simple cards we created in our Thank You cards class a couple of weeks ago. I am a firm believer of having a stock of thank you notes/cards handy all the time. So, I am glad my ladies think so, too.
