Peaceful Noel....with a FUN SURPRISE!!!!

Good morning!  Oh man...I'm cold this morning and I'm NEVER cold!  It's suppose to start raining about noon...wish it was now because it would be snowing!  I love it when it snows, but it never lasts long...a day or two, maybe a week!  Well...I hope you are all well and find a bit of time to create today!  I have a FUN, SIMPLE card to share with you today...but you can't make it yet...you don't have the tools!

Look closely...do you see anything new?  It's SUPER COOL and I'm so EXCITED!  To you give up?  Do you see those Stitched Rectangles?  YES!!!! Stitched Rectangle dies are coming in the Occasions Catalog!  I LOVE them and I think you will too!

For this card I have a Whisper White card base.  I used the largest stitched framelit to cut a piece of Granite Gray cardstock for the first mat.  Next I cut Real Red and Coastal Cabana Stitched Rectangles and adhered them with dimensionals.  I stamped on a Whisper White Stitched Circle using the Peaceful Noel stamp set with Real Red and Granny Apple Green ink.  I added a Real Red bow, some linen thread and a few pearls to finish it off!  

You know how I LOVE my Stitched Shapes framelits...I have three sets so I can cut faster when prepping classes!  You'll definitely be seeing more projects with the Stitched Rectangle framelits!

Hey...THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your day and have a FANTASTIC weekend!!!

"Make-It Monday" - Peaceful Noel

Hello everyone!  I'm a little slow getting going today.  We're having some family difficulties and I just did not sleep well last night...or at all is more like it!  I love my family so much and when it's out of whack it breaks my heart!  I know that I am not in control and I believe in the power of prayer!  I love the quote "If God brings you to it...he'll get you through it"!  For this I am VERY THANKFUL!!

It's time for another "Make-It Monday"...and you're gonna love it!!

"Make-It Monday": PEACEFUL NOEL card created with Stampin' Up! products

4. Stamp the jug with Memento ink on the white cardstock.
5. Color the jug with the Blends markers.
6. Stamp the greenery from the “Peaceful Noel” stamp set into the jug.  Use the 3 green colors to create the various shades of green.
