August 29, 2018August 28, 2018 Melissa's Kre8tions2 Comments

Hello my fantastic followers! This is the starting post for my series, CASE the Catalog: Tropical Chic. I’m SUPER excited to share some amazing projects with you that I CASE’d from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, with a few of my own little tweaks.

Before we dive in, I wanted to remind you that by purchasing the Tropical Chic stamp set and the Tropical Thinlits Dies together in a Bundle, you can save 10%! Be sure to use my hostess code this month to get a thank you from me!

I don’t think I have put this set down since it arrived to my house… I just can’t stop playing with it! It is one of my all time favorite sets. Tropical themes are really popular right now, and with their vibrant colors, I can see why! I’m addicted to them!

I have so many ideas for different color combinations I want to try with this set. What color combination would you recommend using? Be sure to leave me a comment on this post and let me know!

Christmas Coffee Cup Card

November 27, 2017November 27, 2017 Melissa's Kre8tionsLeave a comment

There’s something about a simple monochromatic card that just tickles my fancy, especially when the color is PINK! Berry Burst is the PERFECT color for this fun and festive Christmas card using the Coffee Cafe & Merry Cafe stamp sets.

For a little twist to the traditional card, I decided to change up how I normally stamp my sentiments, positioning one in a vertical alignment.

Measurements

Card Base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored @ 4-1/4″
Mat #1 – 5-1/4″ x 4″
Mat #2 – 5″ x 3-3/4″
Scrap – Approximately 3″ x 6″
Glimmer – 1″ Circle

Materials

Don’t forget to use the current hostess code DTE3KUX2 when you place your order to get a thank you card from me at the beginning of next month!

Stamping Saturday Graceful Garden Card

November 6, 2017November 7, 2017 Melissa's Kre8tionsLeave a comment

For Stamping Saturday that I do live once a month on my Facebook Page, I decided to use Graceful Gardens to re-create a card I gained inspiration from as I was scrolling through other demonstrators beautiful creations.

I love how the white embossing pops on the bright cardstock. It’s such a clean look and I wanted to share it with all of you!
