SAB Product of the Week… Simply Wonderful Stamp Set

Posted in Sale-a-bration, Stampin' Up! card ideas by

Hello Stampin Friends,

Today we are going to showcase the “Simply Wonderful” stamp set.

Sometimes it’s easier to show someone how wonderful they are versus just telling them. The sentiments in the Simply Wonderful Stamp Set—phrases like “Thanks so very much” and “You’re the best”—offer many opportunities to show your appreciation, love, admiration, and general regard for anyone in your life. Added bonus: the stamp set coordinates with the Decorative Label and Extra-Large Oval Punches, just to name a few!

It’s the relationships we share that make life interesting and rewarding. This is what inspired our new stamp set, Lovely, Amazing You (item #140594) $14.95

What are the reasons you give cards, treats, gifts? For me, it’s to thank someone, to wish them well on a special occasion, or often just to say, “Hey, I’m thinking of you.”

Here are some ways to show your love, admiration, and appreciation. Let people know that you care, that you think they’re amazing, and that you might even love them more than chocolate.

Love You More than Chocolate

Spotlight: Lotus Blossom Stamp Set

Posted in Sale-a-bration, Stampin' Up! card ideas, Thinking of You / Hello Friend by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,
I am thrilled with Sale-A-Bration catalog this year, and I hope you are too! With so many exclusive items for you to earn for free, Stampin’ Up! thought it would be fun to give each one a turn in the spotlight.

Throughout Sale-A-Bration, they will feature a Product of the Week! This week’s product is the Lotus Blossom Stamp Set. This gorgeous stamp set makes anyone feel like an artist in three quick steps.

 

It creates a beautiful flower that looks painted, but it is amazingly easy. The individual stamps have a tab at the top to help you align them, and the tabs are numbered so you will know which part of the flower to stamp first, second, and third.

This beautiful card was designed by Sarah Klass. She has inspired me to pull out my stamp set and start creating!

Try playing around using one ink pad with the stamping off technique, or multiple different ink pads to create many different looks.

Thanks you for stopping by ….

Enjoy the day and have a wonderful weekend.

Sweetly said with love …

Posted in Quick -n- Easy, Stampin' Up! card ideas, Valentines & Love by

Hello Friends,

Today I’d like to share with you a few card samples that come from Jen our concept artist. She is using one of my favorite new stamp sets “Hello Life” that can be found in the Occasions Catalog.

The first is simple but so adorable, and is created by repeatedly stamping the twin hearts across the note card. I will admit … I really love the script greetings!

Sweet-Notecard

 

The next is a shaker card … who doesn’t love those little hearts floating inside the big heart.  To create the striped background, she masked horizontal stripes using washi tape, then spritzed using Blushing Bride Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill and the Stampin’ Spritzer.

Shaker-Card

 

On the final card she paired Real Red and Blushing Bride on the Crumb Cake note card, which highlights those cute hearts in the stamp set so sweetly.

Heart-card

 

Happy Valentines can be said simply yet sweetly and these cards are definitely proof of that. You know what they say … sometimes, less is more!

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a wonderful Sunday … and I must say “GO PACK GO”!

TODAY’S STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST …

 

Snuggles and Smooches …

Posted in New Product Intro / Video, Product Wow, Stampin' Up! card ideas by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I want to share with you our newest “Photopolymer stamp set… Snuggles and Smooches”. It may seem like it is just for Valentine’s Day, but I think it could be used any time of the year when you want to share some affection with those you love.

Photo 1 - Snuggles and Smooches

Two of my favorite images in the set are the swirls. I’m sure you’ve noticed how trendy it is to wind up some Linen Thread or Baker’s Twine and use it as an element on cards and other projects. You can see on this card how the large swirl image helps accomplish a similar feel.

Photo 2 - Oodles of Valentine

The swirls also create interesting background patterns that can be used with a technique like emboss resist—as shown on this adorable little card.

Photo 3 - My Silly Valentine

Or simply stamp—as I did on this tag. The “Love” sentiment works great for creating a chalkboard effect.

Photo 4 - Love Tag

There are three heart images in this stamp set. They were drawn to coordinate with  three of our heart punches: the Sweetheart Punch, the Hearts Border Punch, and the heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. The “Love” sentiment will also coordinate with either of the Tag Topper punches.

I can’t wait to see what you create with this stamp set—whether it’s a valentine for someone you love, notes of encouragement, memory keeping, or treat packaging.

(From our Concept Artist: Melody H.)

Was I right? Super cute projects today! This stamp set is already available – Click here to view!
