Framelits & Sizzlets!

   Are you in love with Stampin' Up!'s Framelits & Sizzlets dies?  Well if you're not, or you don't even know what they are, check out the Stampin' Up! catalog page 191 and the Holiday Collection catalog pages 3, 16, 29, and 30!  A couple great things about the Framelits is they have stamp sets that they coordinate with and many of them come bundled with that stamp set saving you money!

   To give you an idea of how you might use these items we've put together some fun samples for you.  First off we have Karla's creation.

   Karla used the Holiday Collection & Apothecary Accents Framelits to create this cute Christmas card!  Check out Karla's blog for more information on her card.

    Next we have Rachel's card.  She used the Apothercary Accents Framelits as well.  Head over to Rachel's blog for all the details of her card.

    Debbie created this fun Christmas candy favor using the Holiday Ornaments Framelits and the Be of Good Cheer DSP.  Hop on over to Debbie's blog to see a step-by-step tutorial to make it yourself!

   I also used the Holiday Collection and also used the Labels Collection Framelits for my Christmas card!  We all had Christmas on our minds already!  Check out my blog (Jacque) for additional information on the supplies that I used to make my card!

  As always we thank you for stopping by to visit and hope that you've been inspired to try something new!  Have a great weekend and please come back next Friday when we'll be sharing Thanksgiving projects!

New Catalog Favorites!

Day 8 of the new catalog, and first orders should be arriving on doorsteps as we speak!!  My first order arrived yesterday, and I'm making it out of my stamp room to do this post for you all!

My stamping sisters and I are really enjoying the new catalog and all of the great new stamp sets and accessories it contains!  Over the next weeks and months, we'll be sharing with you new sets, papers, tools and more from this new catalog!  This week, we're sharing some of our favorite items so far!

Rachel used a new set called Make a Cake.  She used the coordinating Designer Series Paper called Patio Party, which is where she drew her color inspirations from. The card uses several of the new In Colors. For more information, visit her blog.

Debbie used the Everything Eleanor stamp set again this week along with the Comfort Cafe DSP pack for her card which features two new In Colors.  To get all the details of her project, please be sure and visit her blog.

Here is Karla's card for this week. Even though she used the Everything Eleanor set too her card looks completely different than Debbie's don't you think?? Here is a link to her blog

I used a new set called You're Amazing!  I used the matching Apothecary Accents Framelits die to cut out the image, and cut out a second layer in solid card stock to back the image.  The colors that I used are new In Colors!  Check out my blog at http://www.stampinwithjacque.com/ for more details!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting!  We hope you have a wonderful weekend and can get some fun stamping time in!
