Happy Valentine’s Day … Friend

Posted in 2016 Occasions Catalog, Quick -n- Easy, Sale-a-bration 2016, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

As promised I have a card for you, using the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper.  I teamed it up with the “Bloomin’ Love” stamp set and “Bloomin’ Hearts” Thinlits Die.

A perfectly quick -n- cute card for anyone who did not know that Valentine’s Day is only in 3 more days! Managing a Candy store … I don’t forget these dates! lol

I began with a Crumb Cake base and then added my “Perfectly Artistic” Designer Series Paper.  The heart maybe the focal point but the beautiful watercolor background just adds a soft touch to the card.

000_3125

I used the “Thick Whisper White” Cardstock because it holds up so nicely with all the intricate cuts – not all bendy and floppy! I then stamped the flowers with Rose Red and Blushing Bride.

The banner was created with the Triple Banner Punch and stamped “friend” on it.  There is one banner on top of the heart and another underneath it … just to add a bit more dimension.

To complete my card I added a few pearls and popped up the heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals … Sweet, Simple and complete.

I appreciate you stopping in today ~

Hope your day is a good one.

Just for You … Happy Birthday!

Posted in 2016 Occasions Catalog, Birthday, Quick -n- Easy, Sale-a-bration 2016 by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a quick -n- cute card for you created with our Balloon Bouquet Punch and a couple of our Sale-a-bration items: Botanicals for You and the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper.

I wanted my card to make a bold statement so I knew I would be stamping the greeting in black, therefore my card base would also be black. To give it that extra “wow” … I chose the Melon Mambo as my contrasting color, based off of my 3 balloons: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay & Crushed Curry.

000_3090

If you wanted to create this card for a boy, you could easily swap out the Melon Mambo for the Bermuda Bay … the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper had 12 different colors, depending on what side of the paper you choose.

I used the Crushed Curry Bakers Twine to tie down my balloons! Here’s a quick tip … Instead of trying to tie a knot around the actual balloon, just tie a quick knot at the end of your Bakers Twine, then roll up a glue dot to attach it to your balloon. So Easy! Then we just tucked the ends under the Whisper White before mounting the front to the base of the card.

000_3093

You can’t forget about the inside … plus, you have all the smaller balloons! We simply attached them with your snail adhesive and then we drew our ties with a Black marker.

000_3094

To add a bit more fun to our card, we punched stars from the “Confetti Stars Punch” and attached them to highlight the greeting and the balloons with the “Fine-tip Glue Pen”. I think it just adds the right touch off added color to finish off the card.

000_3090

DON’T FORGET … Our Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper is one of the “Limited Time” items can is only available through February 15th.

Hope you enjoyed our celebration of a “Just for You” birthday card. I have two little grandsons that would love this card, so off I go to swap out some colors and stamp them a card.

Thank you so much for joining me today …

Have an awesome Friday!

Sweet Friend …

Posted in 2016 Occasions Catalog, Sale-a-bration 2016, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I took the day off yesterday … Saturday night I had a sleep over with my grandkids! We rented movies and made popcorn and had a nice time.  Sunday us “girlies” went to Bath & Body Works and bought some awesome smellin’ goodies.

Today I’m back with a card that I created for my “Catalog Kick-Off” Party last Monday … I’ll share a few of the card but I want to keep some exclusive to those who attend my events.

When I saw the “Helping Me Grow” stamp set in the Occasions catalog, I knew I had to have it! I just love the flowers – they’re big enough to use on a scrapbook page, but not too big on a card … a perfect fit!

000_3079 x 650

My color pallet for my card is Old Olive, Whisper White and Calypso Coral … a nice combination. Then we added a “WINK OF STELLA” to our flowers. So pretty and so easy to use … watch the video!

We stamped the image with StazOn and colored it in with the Calypso Coral and Old Olive markers. Then we simply brushed on the beautiful “Wink of Stella” … it’s just a hint of shimmer and oh so pretty.

Wink of Stella on Flower

We used the Oval Framelit Collections to cut out the flowers and mat to create a focal point for our card. Our greeting comes from this stamp set and our banner was trimmed with the “Triple Banner” Punch.  Just a little Old Olive Bakers Twine finishes off and anchors the banner.

If you’re wondering where our designer series paper comes from … it comes from the “Wildflower Fields” Designer Paper located in our Sale-a-bration catalog!!  This is just the beginning of what you will see me do with this pretty paper.

000_3079 x 650

Thanks so much for the day off and for coming back to see what I made for you today.  I appreciate it… sweet friends!

Have a sweet and happy day!

…BECAUSE YOU’RE AWESOME

Posted in Quick -n- Easy, Sale-a-bration 2016, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’d like to share a cute card that you can whip up with just a couple of punches and a fun embossing folder! Easy right! Cute too!

000_3069

Those of you who have stamped with me for a while, know that I love to layer color on color … today it’s white. Layers on a card just add that extra touch … a little more love. The first thing I did once I decided to do the white on white, was emboss the top layer with the “Lovely Lace” embossing folder.

I like to combine my punches to create even more layering – it adds depth and dimension to the card. Here is used the “Petite Petals” punch on the Wild Wasabi, Rose Red and Island Indigo cardstock… this flower is the perfect size to highlight so many other stamp sets and projects.

I then added the little white flower – punched from the “Itty Bitty Accents” Punch Pack and topped it off with a rhinestone. I liked it … but wanted a bit more color so I added a mat in Rose Red and White – that really popped my flowers.

000_3066

Awe … and you couldn’t find a better greeting to send some flowers to a friend than “because you’re awesome”.  This comes from the Sale-a-bration stamp set “Botanicals for You”. You can get this stamp set for free with a qualifying order of $50 (before shipping & handling).

I did hand cut my banner ends but you could easily use the “Triple Banner” punch. I use it all the time except when I let my sister use it to complete the extra packets of cards from my Catalog party.

Hope this quick -n- cute card inspires you to whip up a few cards for yourself.  Have fun and enjoy your weekend!

Thanks so much for joining me today.

Happy Birthday to You!

Posted in Birthday, Sale-a-bration 2016 by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a card that I created with one of our Sale-a-bration stamp sets … Flowering Fields! I actually won this stamp set at our “On Stage” event – delivered by our “Prize Patrol”.

I also used the “Wildflower Fields” Designer Series paper – they coordinate beautifully. I’ll just let you see for yourself …

000_3059

I simply love this color combination … Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss. I stamped a simple background on the back and then added the strip of designer paper.

Our birthday greeting comes from the stamp set “Sunburst Sayings” from the Occasions catalog and is stamped in the Blackberry Bliss.

To draw your eye to the greeting and add a pop of color – I punched out a flower from the “Itty Bitty Accents” punch pack and highlighted with a rhinestone.

Then to balance the card out, I added my “Bitty Butterfly” and folded it in half to create more dimension and so it appears as if it’s in flight.

000_3061

A cute simple card created with two of the items you can get free in the Sale-a-bration catalog. Remember with each $50 purchase (before shipping & handling) you can choose one item out of the catalog.

Thank you for coming by  ~

Have yourself a very special day!

What I Love …

Posted in 2016 Occasions Catalog, Sale-a-bration 2016 by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Hope today finds you feeling good and ready to stamp! What I love about being a demonstrator is sharing great products and some awesome samples!

Today I’d like to feature the “What I Love” stamp set from our Sale-a-bration catalog. You can get this stamp set FREE with a purchase of $50 (before shipping & tax).

This stamp set falls in the category of “two-step” stamping. Glad to see this style of stamping is still going strong. It’s for those people who love adding color to their projects but aren’t real fond of the time it takes to color … with two-step stamping you just stamp the color!

US_AU_EU_16_SAB_Demo_Images-13

This sample highlights the Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise colors and they really pop off the card! Like I said, this is a sweet way to get some quick color on your card.

But …

Don’t stop there! The detailed images of this stamp set work great for embossing! You can emboss this image in white or clear and then use your dauber to add a deeper color to your project.  WOW … that really softens the flower but still makes an amazing impact to your card.

US_AU_EU_16_SAB_Demo_Images-24

Either way … this is a great stamp set to add to your collection.

Thanks for dropping in, I’ll see you tomorrow for my Simply Sunday Series.

Have an awesome day!

The Lost Lagoon card was created with the “World Traveler” Embossing folder and the “Going Global” stamp set. If you look closely you will also see the “Itty Bitty Accents” Epoxy sticker … they add a nice touch to finish off the card.

The treat bag was created using the “Going Places” designer series paper stack, the “Going Global” stamp set and the coordinating 2″ circle punch.

This product suite will be featured at my Stamp Camp later this month …  SAVE THE DATE: January 25th. I’ll be sending the notice out by this weekend.

A taste of “eye candy” … Stampin’ Up! Style

Posted in 2016 Occasions Catalog, Sale-a-bration 2016 by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Quick post today as I run out of the house and begin my mini vacation! I found there is not much to do in Wisconsin in January if you don’t ski, tube or snowmobile, or ice fish … well there is a lot to do, but I was thinking a bit more of the “indoor” activities.

I’ll give you an update when we return, till then …
