Last Post of 2017

I imagine you are all still busy with friends and family, especially since winter vacation is happening from schools right now.  Or, maybe all the business of the season is over and you would like to take some time to rest and relax this week.

I am no different.  I plan to spend time with my husband and daughter as well as time resting and relaxing this week.  This is also my time to prepare for 2018 and get it all written down and planned ahead.  So, this is my last post for 2017.

I will be on Facebook LIVE creating the 4th card from the Star of Light stamp set, but I will not be posting the video until Monday, January 1, 2018. 

I will see you in 2018.  Have a fun and relaxing end to 2017.  Don't forget about the year end sale.  It ends January 2.  Also, the reservation window for Stamparatus reservation closes on December 30.  This is the last Stamparatus early reservation window.  Don't miss your opportunity.

Get excited and ready for the Launch of the Occasions catalog and Sale-a-bration on January 3.  I will be having an online launch party then.  Watch my FB page for more detail.

Just Breathe for CI24

I took a break from Christmas specific cards for today's challenge and used the color from Color Inkspiration #24 to create a card for someone who needs a break from everyday life.  That actually could be lots of people I know at this time of year.  Christmas is a wonderful celebration and can be a good time with friends and family.  It can also be added stress.  So, here's wishing all of you a moment to "just breathe."  Christmas Eve is tomorrow followed by Christmas Day on Monday.  Whatever you have done at this point, it's enough.  Take a moment to sit down, relax, and enjoy all that is happening around you.  Take a nap, cuddle with family, play, relax, breathe.  If you are alone this Christmas, still take time to relax and breathe and enjoy the time off.  Look around you and give thanks for all the blessings that surround you right now.
 I used the Colorful Seasons bundle to make waves out of pool party and tranquil tide, a beach chair out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and a yummy pink lemonade out of blushing bride cardstock.  I took a piece of crumb cake cardstock and tore one edge to make the sand at the edge of the shore.

I did not have a LIVE Video this week, since I am celebrating with family.  I hope you are doing the same!!!  But, I do have a video this week.  I did record a video tutorial of the December Online Class featuring Star of Light stamp set--Week 3.  It was really a lot of fun to use a variety of star thinlits and decide the way I wanted to arrange then on the card front.  I'd love to see the creations you come up with if you take the time to arrange your stars in whatever design strikes you at the moment  Add them in the comments below.

Shining Star


I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of using the Star of Light stamp set.  When I think of stars, especially that amazing Star of Light,  I can’t help but create a card with bling and shine.  I used the a Star from the thinlits as the focal point element of this sketch and the word “Shine” as the sentiment.  It started out as the word sunshine, but I only needed “shine” so the sun was cut off and placed in my accent and embellishments drawer.

The inside of the card had a piece of the DSP used on the front as well as using the Dapper Denim Ink for the sentiment.










Make sure you check out the inspiration cards from the design teams and the other creative entries in these challenges.

Christmas Carols for TGIFC138 with my favorite DSP--Merry Music for Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop


Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. This month's theme is Favorite DSP. You are currently visiting Angel Shaver from USA. I hope you enjoy my project/cards.
I had to do quite a bit of thinking to decide which is my favorite DSP.  I debated a few different options before I finally settled on Merry Music Specialty DSP.  I have been drawn to it for several different paper projects: cards, mini album, ornaments, gift packaging options.  For this challenge I decided to make a hexagon box.


I had so much fun making this box as tall as I could with a 12” x 12” piece of cardstock. I love looking under the tree and seeing a variety of shapes and sizes.

I carried the music theme on to the decoration on the top of the box.  I used the Deck the Halls stamp from the Carols of Christmas stamp set.  Finally tying the 7/8” Striped Ribbon around the box to finish it off.  This box also fits the theme for the TGIF challenge; “Carols of Christmas”.




Make sure you head over to TGIF and check out the inspiration cards by the design team and other creative entries.

I hope the projects you've seen here on my blog today have inspired you & brightened your day. You are currently visiting Angel Shaver. Please see the list below & hop through all of the people on the list to see all our projects. You don't want to miss any!
