Today I am super excited to share with you a couple fun tips that I learned while at OnStage. I’m also showing off some fun new products (that will be available come January 3rd in the new 2019 Occasions Catalog) while I share these tips. Stay tuned!

But first I want to let you all know that the December “Better Than Flat” Project Tutorials from our Stampin’ Anonymous team are ready! So if you place an order with me during the month of December (or you are a part of my Stampers With ART community), I will send you a link to these tutorials (which include Fun Fold cards & 3-D projects) for FREE!! You also have the option to CLICK HERE to purchase them if you wish.

Do any of you remember “Card Candy?” It was a big thing with card makers years ago. Well, that’s what I created with the new Beauty Abounds stamp set and the coordinating Butterfly Thinlits dies in my most recent Facebook Live broadcast that aired this past Wednesday. I also shared how to use the Stamparatus tool to create reverse images – butterflies facing in two different directions. AND I showed off this card candy piece as the “O” in HOME on a beautiful home décor project.

I uploaded the recorded version of this broadcast to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Please watch this video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), check out the “measurements” and full products list below, scroll through the close-up photos, and then let me know if you have any questions. I think you’ll enjoy what I have to share.

“Measurements”…

• Coastal Cabana Cardstock
  • Scrap for punching 2” Circle
• Cajun Craze Cardstock
  • Scrap for punching Starburst
• Whisper White cardstock
  • Scraps for stamping & die-cutting (or trimming) butterflies
• Vellum Cardstock
  • Scrap for die-cutting foliage
• Copper Foil Sheet
  • Scrap for die-cutting foliage
• Tea Room Ribbon
  • About 5 inches

Products:  See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store. By the way, I listed Coastal Cabana Blends Markers as a supply item during the video. Oops! We don’t carry that color right now. The color combo I used was Bermuda Bay.

These were super fun to make! Here is an example of how this piece could be added to a folded piece of white cardstock (as “card candy”).

And here is an example of how stunning it would look on this 12 Months of Home décor piece!

To learn more about the fun 12 Months of Home class offerings that I mention in my video, CLICK HERE. (Sign ups for the in-person and to-go classes are needed by December 3rd.) A big cheers to fellow demonstrator, Sandy Carlson who shared this class idea at Creative Connections this fall.

And a big cheers to Nancy Forsberg & Kayla Cory (the demonstrator team offering this class locally) and Vicki Spicer who came over to create with me! We had a ton of fun coming up with the designs that we wanted to offer with our version of this class.

Here are the other links I mentioned in my video…
