BERRY BLESSINGS FOR YOU

January 19, 2021

With Sale-A-Bration in full swing, I thought that I’d show you what can be done with one of the great Free choices. This Berry Blessings Bundle(157613) is so cheery and bright it will certainly put a smile on your face!

You can add it to your shopping cart with a $120 purchase.

I used the Strawberry Builder Punch(154239) and then added seeds with the Real Red Stampin’ Write and finished those berries off with a little Real Red ink sponged on for depth.

The layout from CAS(E) this sketch was my starting point.

Which is why I used a Gold Hoops embellishment to define the focal image. TIP: Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the hoop, they are certainly tough enough hold it down!

Here’s the list of products used.

Hi there and welcome to Friday! Today, I’m showing you my very first “skinny” card. I’ve never made one before but really love the way this one turned out!

I kept it simple with a few images from the Prettiest Birthday Bundle(156247). But… I felt that the background mat needed a little something, so used the new Painted Textures 3D embossing folder to add that something!

This is my entry for the new Freshly Made Sketches challenge of 2021!

Hi and welcome! It has occurred to me that my collection of birthday cards is getting low – so – I’m stepping away from Christmas to show you this latest birthday card!

Hi! What is a curvy birthday? Well, there’s a new stamp set promotion coming on November 3, 2020 that shows a variety of curvy images and greetings. Today, I’m showing you a sneak peak of just one of those stamp sets!

This card was created using the Quite Curvy Bundle and it is so pretty! I paired the images up with a piece from the Forever Greenery designer paper(152492) to highlight those lovely leaves and pretty bluebirds!

The matching dies to this set make it easy to cut out the curves and I used one as a guideline for the birthday greeting.

Who likes chocolate chip cookies? Me, me, me! I had fun with the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle for today’s very orange card!

With, those delicious chocolate chips cookies!!! I am playing along with two challenges today. The Paper Players,

Ok, I know that tulips don’t bloom up here right now, but don’t we all need a pretty blast of summer colours right now?

There they are! I used the Timeless Tulips Bundle to create this bevy of blooms and a “few” of the inks from the Brights Colour Collection! The matching punch in this bundle made it super easy to build this bouquet! I also used a piece of designer paper from the Playing with Patterns collection(152490) which is 15% off right now!

Where did I get this ideas for summer colours? From the new challenge from SUO Challenges(Stampin’ Up Only).

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

~~~Connie~~~

Having Cynthia as my upline has been a very pleasant experience for me. She is always available to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable about Stampin’ Up products. I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!

~~~Leona~~~

Cynthia’s classes are set up very thorough and professional. I learn something new at every class and it is always a fun night out. Cynthia gives a lot of inspiration in everything she does and keeps us looking at her blog. Cynthia knows her product very well and keeps us all informed on new products and sales!
