Mel's Creative Creations

Yesterday I took a Botanical Prints class with a fellow demonstrator and friend Kurstan . We had enough material to do 2 cards  each so a total of 10 cards. Don't worry we did this class the social distance way! We had it over Zoom. It was nice to hang out with like minded ladies and craft and make these beautiful cards! For my sentiments I just used the stamp set that comes with this medley. If this is something you'd like in your own stash you can shop here.  Melinda Hoover  if you want the direct link to these products in particular I think you can do so here  Botanical Prints  I hope you are finding time to craft. Thank you for reading!

Hello! Long time no see. I hope this post finds you and yours well. I have found myself with extra time lately. These are some cards and a box I created recently and I thought I'd share it over here. I am hoping that this is a new start to me blogging and creating once again. I got these ideas from my group Luv 2 Stamp. We have been doing online events in the last year or so. You can find these products in our annual catalog as well as our recent mini catalog. If you are in need of one you can email me at koreanone2001@gmail.com Just a note our new catalog will be coming out soon in case you want to wait for that. And as always you can shop here to  Online Store   I hope you are able to find time to be creative as well as find time to relax. I hope to talk to you again soon!

This past weekend I participated in a local demonstrator's Stamp A Stack event. I like going because I enjoy the interaction and the challenge to use products in a different way that I may not have thought about. For example, coloring the background with the Botanical Butterfly DSP from Saleabration with our Stampin' Blends. Most of these products are from our SAB catalog and Occasions catalog. I wanted to remind you this is the last week for you to be able to take advantage of our SAB products as they go away after the 31st. The Occasions items are good till the end of May or as supplies last. Down below you will find a list of most of the items used in the cards. Thank you for stopping by!

As many of you know I belong to a Stampin' Up! group called Luv 2 Stamp. Lately we have been doing weekly challenges there. It is fairly new In fact this is only the 3rd week. I didn't participate in the very first one but I did in the last 2. I thought I would take a moment to share what I did for last week and this week. I included the sketch that was our inspiration for this week. I didn't think I was a challenge person but I have found they have been giving me inspiration and I am trying to make more time to create.  What do you do or look for when you want to be inspired to create? Sidenote: I wanted to remind you that certain In Colors will be retiring soon. I used Lemon Lime Twist in my Happy Spring card and those are one of the colors that is going away in the end of May or as supplies last.

I wanted to remind you that you have 2 weeks before SALEABRATION 2019 is done. I wanted to showcase what cards you could make with the items that you got from the SAB catalog as well as items from the Occasions and Annual Catalog. It felt really good to take some time out and create. I feel like I am a slow crafter at times so this was a big accomplishment for me.  I actually was inspired to do this as my upline gave us a challenge for the month of March to use our SAB goodies. The last card was a challenge to use green for a feeling lucky random draw. Down below you will find most of the products I used to make these cards. I also wanted to mention the card that I made using the Country Floral Folder was colored with our Stampin' Blends.

I love the look of doilies and was very happy when Stampin' Up! came out with a stamp set and dies. I got my inspiration to make these cards from our Occasions catalog. I love how intricate the doilies are. One tip I'd offer is to use your take your pick if you have that tool to take out all the little pieces of paper. It makes life a lot easier.

I have been talking to you guys about the recent craft retreat I went on. While I was there I got to work with a Saleabration Stamp Set called Hello Cupcake. I have some birthdays coming up and this stamp set was a life saver as well as cute! I challenged myself as I had limited supplies with me and had to use what I had. Netherless, it was still fun to create. Remember if you have a $50 dollar order and place it by the end of March you can get this set free! A lot of our items have been so popular they are no longer available. But last I checked we still had this. We do have a die that goes with the cupcake for sale. I don't remember the name off hand but you will find that information down below. I also wanted to remind you that the 2017-19 in colors will be retiring soon. The coloring of the cupcakes were done with those colors.
