It’s a Party …

Posted in Uncategorized by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

A quick post today to share another fun project using the Dino Days bundle.  Since we’re having so much fun with this cute set, why not throw a party! You can create this simple banner for your celebration …

The Dino Days bundle is perfect for birthday celebrations and we have a cute coordinating card as well.  And as you saw yesterday, with my It’s a Boy … It’s a Girl cards, you could easily surprise everyone with a dinomite gender reveal party!!

I hope you enjoyed the cute projects and were inspired … if so, let me know. I would love to hear if you have another great idea on how to use this fun bundle.

Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to visit… Have a great day!

I’ll be back tomorrow with something a little different.

TODAY’S STAMPING SUPPLY LIST …

Check out these Cruise Swaps …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I want to share with you a little more from my trip in the form of card samples!! I wish I knew who created these fabulous samples so I could give them credit, because I love their creations!!

I am regretting that I did not get in on the Incentive Trip Swap but I had so much going on with work before I left …. but swaps were posted in our gathering room so I picked out 3 really cute cards.

The first is from one of my favorite sets in the Annual Catalog, the Sailing Home Bundle.  You can find that on page 145.  Don’t have your catalog yet?  Contact me!! I love her layers and the texture she has added to the card. I just love it!

The second of the three I’m sharing today is from the Dino Days Bundle on page 99. This is such a cute suite … I’ll be sharing more with you as my great-grandson is head over heels in love with dinosaurs! Don’t you love they fold of this card …. adds extra fun to the card!

The last sample I want to share with you is too stinkin’ cute …  It was created with the Over the Moon stamp set found on page 32. I think that this would make the perfect little gift at a birthday party (who doesn’t love ) or how about a 4-H project!! Cute hand-out at the County or State Fairs as well.

I hope you enjoyed these cute samples as much as I did when I saw them!!

Thank you for joining me today, I hope yours is a good one.

TODAY’S BUNDLES LISTED FOR YOU … Just click on anyone of them for more information about the bundle, or to begin your shopping. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Aren’t these cards just stunning! I love the look of stained glass in combination with the “Illuminated Christmas” from the Holiday Catalog. The O, Holy Night card is my favorite.

The vellum is subtle and uncolored on this card but it still makes a statement.  The beautiful star that draws your eye to the card and then the use of the Stained Glass Thinlits Dies as it highlights the Three Wisemen… I love it!!

The “Hope” Card is beautiful too with it’s colored vellum. This card also used the Stained Glass Thinlits Dies and the Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder. What’s neat about this card is, you have a beautiful layout now, and you can transform it just by switching color pallets … the blues would be gorgeous too.

Remember … The dies, folders, and designer papers from the Annual Catalog will be on sale. Save 10% on the majority of the products needed to create these cards.

Let me know if you need any help placing your order, or if you just have a question about it.

Thank you for the visit today,

Hope your day is a good one.

Stampin’ Up! OnStage: Day 3

Posted in Uncategorized by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday was bitter sweet as I had to say good-bye to many old friends and my new ones, but I’m coming home all excited and rejuvenated (and with the Occasions Catalog!)

I also wanted to introduce you to a new product suite that is highlighted in the upcoming Occasions catalog … they have removed the restrictions to share so here we go!!

This is the new CLASSIC GARAGE product suite …

This picture illustrates part of the stamp set, coordinating and additional dies. All photos are unedited and taken during the OnStage demonstrations.

Here is the new Classic Garage 6 x 6 Designer Series paper … I just love this, can be used for masculine cards or awesome for a Road Trip scrapbook page!!

Take a look at these super cute embellishments … Oh My Gosh!!  Now for a card sample …

Using the die cut wheels! Next up is a good look at the designer series paper …

and …

Aren’t they just the most adorable cards!!

Hope you enjoyed the little look into the occasions catalog. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a “boss” time or have a good day!

CenterStage 2018

Posted in Uncategorized by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

So we made it to Florida yesterday and I headed to the Convention Center to grab my goodies and hop on a bus to Epcot!!  Stampin’ Up! sent all it’s Leaders to Epcot for a fun filled day and a special area set aside for us to pick up a gift and a treat!

When we arrived we got an envelope full of our ribbons (we receive those as recognition for our achievements) and a note that tells us when we are to walk across the stage to be recognized … very exciting! Then we got this beautiful box …

In the box was our Convention bag, and in the bag we found a new stamp set, some notebooks and pens, or badge holder and my favorite … the Greek Isles Pin!!  I have that safely tucked into my name tag so I don’t loose it!

The bag … you want to see the bag? Oh … it’s beautiful

After I checked out all my goodies and packed them up tight, we hopped a bus and headed to Epcot. Epcot is a theme park at Walt Disney World Resort featuring exciting attractions, international pavilions, award-winning fireworks & seasonal special events.

Norway …

France …

Germany …

It was a great time!! I bit crowded but I think that was because of the Food Festival being held there … YUM YUM! I had a Norwegian Club Sandwich and some Lefsa!!

In Disney style … they end the night with fireworks!

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my blog.

Today I will be attending opening session of OnStage 2018 and partying with 7000+ of my stampin’ sisters (and brothers!).

Have a great day ~

Technique Tuesday: Embossing Techniques

Posted in Uncategorized by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I am going to share a video with you that covers several different embossing techniques!  Grab a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate, sit back and relax while you learn some really cool techniques with heat embossing.

Embossing is one of my favorite techniques! In fact, it’s what turned my head and said … “I want to book a party!” But did you know there are many ways to emboss? Watch as Andrea demonstrates three additional embossing techniques: water embossing, embossing in any color, and faux metal embossing.

WOW … what did you think? There’s a technique I have never seen before like … water! Who knew!

Thanks for hanging with me today and watching the video.  Stop back tomorrow as I will be sharing a card featuring “embossing”.

Have a really good day ~

 

Designer Paper Party!!

Posted in 2018-19 Annual Catalog, Promotions / Deals, Quick -n- Easy, Uncategorized by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Last night I hosted my “Designer Paper” class.  It was a fun night with wonderful ladies … lots of laughs but we still managed to make our cards!!  The focus was on paper techniques and folds because of the Buy One Get One FREE promotion from Stampin’ Up!

I love using designer paper … it can take you from Quick -n- Easy (still beautiful) to Upscale -n- Elegant!! Here is a card that we made last night, and if there is a name for this technique I don’t know what it is, what I do know is that I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time … and it’s EASY!!

This is another great way to use up your scraps!! Cut them into squares, use the new triple punch which has the corner rounder and viola … a quick and cute card!!  The pretty patterns in the Twinkle Twinkle Designer paper are perfect for any style card … I love babies, but let’s think outside of the box. I think it’s perfect for birthday”s, graduations and more – why I bet you could even make a Christmas card out of it!!

The greeting comes from the “Detailed With Love” stamp set, you’ve seen me use this before and you can find it on page 39 of the Annual Catalog. It has great sentiments and pretty elements in it!  Better yet, it’s part of the bundle with the punch!! When you purchase the Detailed Trio Punch and the Detailed with Love stamp set as a bundle … you can save 10%!!

Love this shot …it really shows the dimension on this card.  I’ve also added a little bling to the card … of course!  The new Silver Bakers Twine (Pool Party) and the Faceted Gems, which I think are fabulous and so happy they stayed in the catalog another year 🙂

I thank you for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the card!

Have a great day ~

Happy 4th of July Cards & Projects

Posted in Birthday, HOLIDAYS, Paper Pumpkin, Uncategorized by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

My apologies for the late post but as many of you know … sometimes the cards in our head, don’t always work out on paper!! This was my dilemma on this holiday day … Happy 4th of July to you!! So I’ve decided to share some 4th of July celebration cards I have created in the past …

Four years ago I held a Stampin’ Party and we did some fun projects with the Paper Pumpkin that month … here is what we made: Pinwheels to be used in several different ways!

a treat bag …

and a fun banner …

I used the left over straws in my banner creation and in the card below. I tucked a piece of Bakers twine into the straw to create a fire cracker!!  How clever an I … LOL

Since we’re looking at Paper Pumpkin projects, check out these cute summertime favorites ….

A couple more Red, White and Blue celebration cards …

And I’ll close with two Red, White and Blue cuties of my own … Lilly and Lori my granddaughters!

   

Thank you for checking out my blog on this 4th of July Holiday … I hope you are enjoying your day.

I’ll be back tomorrow with cards highlighting our Designer Paper!!
