My First Pop and Twist Card!

Hey everyone.

I have a really fun card for you today!! I came across this card on Pinterest and just had to give it a try! I found a video on YouTube and followed the directions. I plan on making more cards like this so I will create my own tutorial and post here for everyone.

I just recently got the Lift Me Up stamp set and thinlits so I knew I wanted to do a card using them. I also had the Designer Series Paper that coordinated with those products - even though they are retired (you could only get this paper through the Sale-bration back in the beginning of the year), I am still going to show you the card.

I just love this card so much! My son loves it so much that I have to make him his very own card! :) Or I might even just give this one to him and make a whole bunch more. I have so many ideas in my head to use different bundles on this style of card (a couple examples - Cool Treats bundle and Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle). With the long weekend coming up, I'm going to have to sit down and get these ideas out of my head!

On to the card now! 

Also, remember that the We ❤ Hosts promotion is coming to an end - last day is June 30th!! You will want to take advantage of the extra rewards you can earn, I know I will be!!!

There are soooo many more exciting promotions coming for the month of July - there are THREE!! Stay tuned the rest of the week to find out more! :)

Talk soon,

Fallon

My First Bullet Journal is Coming to an End

Hey everyone,

Today's topic is something I have wanted to blog about for a long time now - Bullet Journal! I first discovered this system back in August. It has helped me become so much more organized plus I can be as creative as I want. 

If you want to read up more on this, you can visit the official Bullet Journal website.  You can also look at Pinterest to see everyone's interpretation of this. 

Bullet Journals are not just for planning - you can record anything and everything you want in it! I have everything from Christmas gift lists, budgeting, my to be read book lists, or wishlists for stuff I want to buy. I have even started tracking all of my Stampin' Up business info, ideas for classes and blog posts, and even card ideas. The possibilities are endless for what you put in the journals. 

I am starting to get to the end of my very first journal, so thought this would be a good time to introduce you to this and stamping in your bujo (short for Bullet Journal). 

Purple is my first journal; the bottom journal is the new one I will be starting.

The first stamping I want to show you is for  page I created for all the information on the plants I have on my deck. I used the new host stamp Tranquil Tulips and the Eastern Palace vinyl stickers. 

 The second page I want to show you is my July monthly. I used the Letters For You and Falling Flowers stamp sets.

As you can tell by the two pages, but the Stampin' Up! ink does show through on both sides. It does not bother me at all but for someone people it really bother's them. 

As for the next journal I will be starting, it is the official Bullet Journal journal that I picked up in Chicago at Barnes & Noble. On the pages in the back of the journal there is a lot of information on bullet journaling. 

In the coming weeks, I will have some more posts showing how I am setting up my new journal.

 

If you are in Canada and wish to start a Bullet Journal you can pick up the journal that is very popular in this community - Leuchtturm1917 Medium Dotted at Indigo/Chapters. There are so many colours, sizes and insides to choose from. You can get blank journals, lined, grid or dotted. I prefer grid but it is your preference. 

I could keep going on about Bullet Journals! There is so one way to set up a journal - you can be as creative as you want! For my weekly and monthlys I have done so many different versions to see what I like best. You can be on the minimalist side and just use one pen and a ruler or you can be so creative, use everything from stamping, colouring, stickers, washi tape - so many possibilities! 

Anyways I think I have talked enough about Bullet Journaling today. I will be back next week with some new cards with more brand new product that is waiting for me at home to use!

Talk soon,

Bingo, Coffee Break Card and a Ghost!!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA lately... it's been a busy week and haven't had much time to create. Today's post is going to be longer than usual - so much to share with you all! :)

Sneak Peek!

I had made cards for my husband, my dad and my father in law but I still needed to make a card for my brother in law. I don't have options (still trying to build my inventory of supplies!) to create a more masculine card so I didn't think I would be able to make a card in time for Father's Day.

But I got lucky!! My team leader Allison had a bingo event on the Wednesday before Father's Day. 

At each person's spot, we all got a welcome gift of a stamp set and a spool of baker's twine. At my spot, I got the Orange Blossom stamp set. It was stamp that I didn't really pay attention to in the catalogue but really glad I got it! I will have another post with a card made from that stamp set soon!

Orange Blossom Photopolymer Stamp Set $21.00 Item #143765

For bingo, we play 10 rounds of normal bingo with a chance to win brand new product from the catalogue. Then there is grand prize bingo where Allison had put together a bundle of products from the Naturally Eclectic suite on page 132-133 of the catalogue. 

I wasn't doing too well for over half of the games so I didn't think I was going to win anything. But then I ended up winning two games in a row!! 

One of the products I won was the Color Theory Designer Series Paper and Berry Burst Ribbon.

Color Theory DSP and Berry Burst Ribbon

The second products I won were the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper and the Corrugated Embellishments.

Coffee Break DSP and Corrugated Elements

When I won the Coffee Break paper I wasn't too excited about it because I'm not a big coffee drinker and it was just a suite of products that I didn't care if I got or not. But when I opened the paper and looked at it, I realized I could do more with it then just a coffee theme. 

Also, during bingo we got to make 2 cards that just so happened to be using products that were part of the grand prize bingo. During bingo there was a thunderstorm and the power had gone out. It was while I was putting together the "I like you" card, so that was first! Thankfully the power wasn't out very long but it was a lot of fun and an experience I am sure I will not forget anytime soon.

Bingo nights are always my favourite event I always look forward to them!

Now on to today's card using the Coffee Break paper!

The wood grain background, the dots, the stripes and the coffee makers are all from the DSP!

I also added some elements to the inside of the card which is something I have started to do more.

Those little coffee cups are so cute!

I ended up having a lot of fun with this card! And if you haven't noticed - there was no stamping what's so ever on this card!!! The whole card except for the twine was made with only paper.

Well there is today's post! I have some more posts in the work for stuff I am working on so keep checking back! 

Talk soon,

Fallon

PS. I have to show off a drawing my 3 yr old son did on his dad's father's day card! I'm so proud of this! I have noticed lately that he is actually trying to draw and it's not all just squiggles.

My son's drawing of a ghost that has eyes!
