Usually, I plan which products I want to buy based on my upcoming classes, or on the projects I will need it for. That's how I decide what I'm getting versus what I want  to buy (which is almost everything!) But, every now and then, there is a stamp set that I just have to have; it was the case for this Magical Mermaid stamp set. So I did, and then it stayed on my shelf for several months. I just did not know what to do with it. I loved the images, but I couldn't come up with a card design with it. I just felt like something was missing. Until, I saw the special article about shaker cards in the demonstrator publication of Stampin' Success. There was a shaker card using the mermaid and I knew it was the perfect way to use her! I had even been planning to make some shaker cards, since I had circle foam dimensionals and sequins left from previous Paper Pumpkin kits. So here is my version of the shaker card with the mermaid.

I'll admit, it can be a little overwhelming, and you feel like you need to get SO MANY things before you can even make a card. And then, you are still not sure how to go about creating a card. I get it, I've been there. This is why I decided to offer a class for beginners a few weeks ago, where I would focus on some card basics.  This is one of two cards we made that night.

Stampin' Up! is really the champion of coordinating products, and all the products you see on this card are part of the same product suite Coffee Break. So really, you can look at only 2 pages of the catalogue, pick all the products that coordinate, and you just KNOW yo...

Une carte de fête super festive, ça vous dit? Le papier design Picture Perfect Party est vraiment parfait pour des projets pleins de vie et qui ont du punch en quelques minutes seulement.  J'adore les couleurs très vives (voir même un peu criardes) de cette carte. Les éléments qui les entourent restent très simples pour leur laisser toute la place, justement.  What do you think of a super festive birthday card? The Picture Perfect Party is really perfect for projects that are full of life and punch, and only take 2 minutes to make. I love the very bold (almost screaming) colours of this card. The other elements are kept simple to leave all the focus on the colours.  J'ai utilisé les couleurs qui se trouvaient déjà dans la papier pour lier le tout; j'ai découpé différentes tailles de rectangles; j'en ai passé un à la BigShot avec le plioir pour ajouter de la texture; et je les ai collés de manière décallée en angle. J'ai ajouté un morceau de ruba...
