Toni From Designs: Lots of New Flair is in the Shop!

Happy Monday friends! This past week has been very productive, and I am so thrilled to share with you that I have seven, yes seven brand new flair designs up in my Etsy shop. I have a really great coupon at the bottom of this post, so make sure to read it before shopping. :-)

I love Christmas. I mean like super love, love Christmas. I love everything about it. The magic. The decorations. The birthday of Jesus. What isn't to love? For this reason, I designed a few new Christmas sets that will be just perfect for all of your holiday crafting. I also designed a December Daily set that can be purchased for either twenty-five or thirty-one days (depending upon your preference.) There is even a Christmas set that is meant to be a little humorous (aptly named Snarky Christmas.)

*Please excuse the photography of my flair sets. I have found it very difficult to photograph something so shiny, despite repeated attempts. I am working very hard at my photography, and in the meantime, I want you to be able to really see how gorgeous these pieces are in person. For this reason. I have included the proof photos below each set, so that you can accurately see what the patterns look like.*

Christmas Icons (woodgrain pattern)

Merry Everything (cork pattern on select pieces)

December Daily (these can be purchased in sets of 1-25 or 1-31). 

The sets have a chalkboard background. This is what the background looks like in person.

Snarky Christmas

Oh Christmas Tree 

I designed some more everyday flair sets for my shop this week as well. *I also make custom flair. If there is something that you would like, please let me know, I am happy to make it for you. The University of Georgia Bulldogs, Denver Broncos, and Tea Lover Flair Sets all started out as custom orders, and were later added to my shop.

University of Georgia Bulldogs

Chevrons (very universal set that could be used for anything)

Born to Travel (this was requested by several customers)

These flair sets would be perfect for any cooler weather you might be experiencing.

Let it Snow

 Tea Lover

Coffee Lover

All of the flair in my shop are currently on sale too! Please use code "HAPPYTHANKSGIVING" now through Thursday night (11/27/14 at 11:59pm EST) and receive 10% off your entire order (no minimum purchase necessary.) :-)

Thank you so much for stopping by today and for your support of my shop. I really appreciate it. I will be back tomorrow with some Project Life pages to share with you all.

Christmas Cards 2014: Holiday Helpers with Cool Yule Stamp Set

Happy Saturday! Today I have three cards to share with you that were created using Cathy Zielske's Cool Yule stamp set. The idea to create these cards, all started with a conversation between Jennifer Picard and myself. We both admitted to ordering an abundance of holiday stamps this year, but still had not started making Christmas cards with any of them. We decided to issue one another a challenge. The challenge was simple. Pick one stamp set we both had and to create 3 cards with it that could be easily mailed. Cards needed to be simple and relatively flat (so they could mail easily.

Without further ado, here are my cards. I believe in simple cards. I spent approximately 20 minutes making all three of these and I love how they turned out. Jennifer and I hope to be "holidays helpers" and inspire you to pull out your Christmas card supplies and get 'er done.

Supplies Used:

• Cool Yule stamp set
• Ink: Versafine in Onyx Black and Studio Calico Color Theory Inks in Poppy, Lime Light, Emerald City, Going Green, Glass Slipper, and Purple Rain
• Precision Pen .03 in black
• American Crafts dot roller adhesive
• American Crafts glitter tape in cherry
• Gold star sequins from stash
• Gold round seuins (small) from stash
• Micro glue dots (for adhering sequins)
• Embossing folder with dots all over it (from stash, source unknown)

I hope you stop by Jen's blog too so that you can see her awesome creations. 

Until next time,

Welcoming Danielle Higginbottom-Brown to the Creative Team

Happy Friday friends. Today I have the pleasure of welcoming Danielle Higginbottom-Brown to the Toni From Designs Creative Team.

Danielle is a prolific scrapbooker. She is a wife and mom of two young boys and they are often the subject of her layouts. She mixes and matches patterns paper like a champ and is a huge fan of color and bold patterns. She is sweet and hilarious and an absolute blast to talk or scrapbook with via Skype. I consider myself so fortunate to have Danielle joining my team. Please give her a warm welcome and leave sone love on her blog.

Welcome!  Danielle here today and I want to share with you my first project as part of the Toni From Design Team and a little bit about myself!  

I'm living the simple life out in the country.  I love to cook from scratch and menu plan for a month at a time. I love to play with pretty papers.  Patterns & textures inspire me.  Glitter makes me happy. I am in love with the library and I am a book nerd. Coffee & Whiskey are my drinks of choice. I am a SAHM of 2 busy boys - Noah 6 & Liam 4.5.  I met my husband Clay on an online dating site back in 2006 and its been a whirlwind ever since!  He is an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer for a local helicopter company. 

The minute I saw the star flair in the Happy Halloween Flair  I knew I had to have this set!

Here is a close up of the Star flair.  I love how it fits in perfect with the bold black alphas in this title

These fun set as well as many other flair sets can be found in my ETSY shop.

Thank you to all that have purchased flair recently. I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you for supporting my business. I also appreciate all of the well wishes and thoughtful comments (both to myself and my Creative Team members.)

Welcoming Kathy Skou to the Creative Team

Happy Wednesday friends! Today I have the pleasure of welcoming the lovely Kathy Skou to the Toni From Designs Creative Team.

Kathy is an absolute sweetheart. She is a wife and mom to a teenage girl and an avid crafter. She loves to take photos of her adorable cats and their crazy antics. She makes very colorful layouts that have a strong design style. She is a whiz at working with bold patterns and bright colors. In addition to my team, she currently is on creative teams for Paper Issues, Creative Scrappers, Right at Home Scrapbooking, and Doodlebug. I am very lucky to have such a talented lady on my team. Please give a warm welcome to Kathy and leave some love on her blog today.

Hi Everyone, it's Kathy today and I'm thrilled to be here with my first post as part of the Toni From Designs Creative Team.  A little about me...I live in Massachusetts with my husband, our 16 year old daughter and our two crazy kitties.  I've been scrapping since 2003 when I left my corporate sales job to be at home.  I love playing with paper and have been fortunate enough to have found a happy place in this industry!!

Here is Kathy's very first layout using my flair. I Love the adorable cat photo and how well she incorporated the flair to tell her fabulous layout story.

As soon as I saw the "Let's Do This" flair I thought of this picture.  She's always flopping right in the middle of what I'm doing.  It makes it difficult to get anything done!

I couldn't resist the #MEOW flair...it was just perfect!!!  Make sure to stop by Toni's Etsy Shop to check out these sets and more...

 I Love Cats
