2 minutes today!

It's Tuesday and it's a beautiful day in Dixieland. I just have a couple things to share today.  First, it's just about 26 hours until the first of the 12 weeks of Christmas projects will be delivered to my email subscribers. If you haven't subscribed you can do so on the welcome to Stamping in Dixie page. Don't miss these great projects delivered right to your inbox.
So, you know it's DSP buy, 3 get 1 free time at Stampin' Up! and in honor of WCMD (World Card making Day) there is a 15% off sale- but did you realize that these two are somewhat coordinated? Yep, Coffee Break DSP is on the sale list as is the Coffee Cafe stamp set, the really cute Pick a Pattern which pairs with the Pieces and Patterns stamp set, and one of my favorite is the Delightful Daisy DSP and the Daisy Delight Stamp set. The Daisy was one of my first purchases out of the new annual catalog. Probably because it's one of my favorite flowers. Here's a card I made with the DSP and stamp set for one of my downline meetings. I love the creative folds. And I love this card displays so many of the beautiful patterns in this "delightful" paper.

  Ingredients for this card:
Back panel is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Tranquil Tide
cardstock. (144246)
Daffodil Delight (119683) 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 3", 5 1/2", 8 & 9 1/2
Delightful Daisy DSP (144137) are 1 1/4 x 4,
2 1/4" x 4" & 2 3/4" x 4".
There is a Whisper White piece stamped on the inside that is 2 1/4" x 4". The banner is stamped in Tranquil Tide and the daisy is stamped twice in Daffodil Delight and punched out with the Daisy Punch (143713).
Of course, what is a card without a little bling! A gold faceted gem makes a great daisy center.(144141)

Okay, that's it for today. Hope you enjoyed this card. It was fun to make. Check out the sale in my online store and stock up on these gorgeous Designer Series Papers and  coordinating stamp sets while they are on sale.

Happy October! Happy Pumkin Spice! Happy, Happy, Happy!

Good morning friends, I am tickled to say it is not as "hot as Hades" today! It is actually very pleasant and this is refreshing. Mind you I'm still bare-footed and in very short sleeves- however, it's beautiful and I am blessed.
Love October! It is my favorite month, I think. Did you know it is Cookie month, Clergy Appreciation month, Eat Country Ham month, the list keeps going? It is Get organized week( LOL, like I could do that in a week) and Customer Appreciation week(now I can take care of that one). October 1, is National homemade cookie day and Vegetarian Day. There is a long and I mean long list of these somewhat obscure reasons to celebrate. BUT, most importantly today starts the new Stampin Up year!!!!! Stampin' Up! is starting the year off with a great Designer Series Paper sale.


Buy 3 get one free! That's 25% off. Who doesn't want a 25% savings? The sale goes all month and includes 13 packs of paper, 2 from the Holiday catalog and 11 from the annual catalog.What a great time to stock up on all those papers you love. The Coffee Bean paper is one of my favorite and or course the Be Merry is just in time to get those cards done early! but that's not everything. They are also having a 15% off select stamp sets that coordinate with the Designer Series Papers, and notecards and Fuse Fuse! Everything you need to make it easy to create awesome one of a kind projects.
Before this gets to long I want to share with you some great samples of cards made with these inspiring papers.

This one uses a piece of the Coffee Break DSP (144155) which coordinates well with the fall colors! Another one I really like is the Wood Textures pack (144177). It has all different wood prints and is great for manly cards.




I have to laugh as I'm typing this my husband is cutting lumber for shelves in his storage room and I can smell the wood! Well, that's probably enough to give you today before you get on overload. I'll give you the rest of the story tomorrow.

Thank you for stopping by. Please leave me a comment and let me know you were here. If you can't wait to order your paper, I'd appreciate your business. You can order from my Stampin' Up store by clicking the link. Thanks again. Be blessed and bless someone else- then you will truly be blessed!
