Two for Tuesday: Petal Passion Suite

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have two beautiful cards I would like to share with you from the Petal Passion Product suite found on pages 22 and 23 of your Occasions Catalog. These are the two cards that my January Clubs made …. we focused on using all the elements of the Petal Passion product suite and it’s versatility.

First I would like to share our Valentines Card which could also be used as a wedding card with the addition of another heart …

The simple yet beautiful card showcases most of the product suite: the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper, one of the folders in the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, the Whisper White 1/4″ Organza Ribbon, and the Petal Palette Stamp Set and Petals & More Thinlits Dies.

The heart cut from Real Red Cardstock comes from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies and adds a finishing touch to our card. We used the Rhinestones which can be colored with your Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Our second card is even more beautiful! I chose a simple yet beautiful color pallet of Basic Gray and Pink Pirouette with a Whisper White base and a splash of Silver …

My celebrate card highlights more of the dies on this card and the use of the BigShot. Let’s begin with our beautiful background … the New Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic embossing folder leaves a stunning impression … WOW!

Our hand stamped bird was cut out with the coordinating die from our Petal Passion Bundle as were the delicate branch and what I call the “lattice” piece … Love that!!

The “Celebrate” is cut from our Silver Foil and comes from our Level 2 Sale-A-Bration Catalog … an exclusive item you can get FREE with a purchase of $100 (before ship & hdlg) This is the first year that Stampin’ Up! is offering 2 Levels of FREE Rewards with your purchases during Sale-A-Bration … it’s so cool.

Let me know if you have any questions about any of the products listed or about our Sale-a-bration!

Thank you for stopping back and checking out my blog post today. I think you will enjoy this product suite as much as we did playing with it.

Have a great day ~

A Year in Review …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Like me … I’m sure you like to sit down every now and then and make up a bunch of cards for upcoming birthdays, holidays and such, but we all know life gets in the way sometimes and we don’t get the chance to get our stamping done …

Well, I have a solution!! Try our Paper Pumpkin kits – they come once a month and you can get fun cards and projects in minutes … no coming up with the design, no measuring … no spending 1/2 your time cutting everything out … just grab the kit and begin!

2017 was a great year for Paper Pumpkin! So join me and talk a ride down memory lane … Your carriage awaits! Watch this to take a look back at all the great kits we released in 2017!

Which was your favorite?  I have to say … Stampin’ Up! kicked off the year right with the January 2017 Paper Pumpkin: Adorning Arrows – 16 cute little Valentine boxes, but I only have 12 grandchildren to I made this cute card ….

Oh man … I like so many of them and who can resist those little “Bunny Buddies” in March! I added note cards and tucked them in the bag, and a full size card on this one ….

 And what about our June 2017 “One in a Melon” … that was so fun to make into cards, and the kids just loved the bags!!

I even used the stamps that were included in the kit to stamp my “Stampin’ Rewards” notifications!!

Can’t keep going without another favorite ….July 2017 and the “Positively Picturesque” …

I will say however, that Autumn is my favorite time of year so I could not resist the beautiful kit they put together for September: “Layered Leaves” …

and my favorite card of them all …

The rest of the year was just as fun and beautiful with the shaker cards in October and Stockings in November … Loved ’em!! We’ve come a long way baby and the Paper Pumpkins are bigger and better than ever before.

Take a ride with us (I have a special Facebook page for my Paper Pumpkin Subscribers) and try it out for a spin … Don’t forget with the Pre-Paid subscriptions you qualify for FREE Sale-A-Bration items (see catalog to the right). Click the links below to view or subscribe!

So if I miss a day or two, please excuse me … however she was one of my biggest fans and loved to see the cards that we made ❤

Today I will be sharing the Beautiful Peacock stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m going to share another cute card made with our little Party Pandas! This card was created by Brenda Morateck, one of my Star’s (someone who signed up as a demonstrator with me). This card is from our Star’s Christmas Party Card Swap.

The card swap challenge was “Something New” … either the Occasions Catalog or the Sale-A-Bration catalog and Brenda chose the Party Pandas

This card was created with the Petal Passion Designer Paper and the fun and bright Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock!

Our cute little Panda is highlighted with the help of the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. You can’t go wrong with these little guys and you can get them for FREE with a $50 purchase during our Sale-a-bration promotion!

Thanks Brenda for the cute card, and I thank YOU for stopping by today.

Card Share & Personal Invite!!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yes, I took the day off yesterday, that is one benefit of having your own business ❤ So I’m back today with a super cute -n- quick card to you!

This month my Stampin’ Clubs are working with the Petal Passion Product Suite and the coordination Designer Paper, so I used another pattern from it and sponged “turquoise”  on it giving it the “Ombre” look … I did mine from dark to light!

I couldn’t resist using those darling Pandas from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set “Party Pandas” ….

Aren’t they just the cutest little guys you’ve ever seen!? Love them … and speaking of love, the greeting is included with the stamp set and they can be yours for FREE!! With a $50 purchase (before s&h) you can choose this or other exclusive stamps & product from our Sale-A-Bration catalog.

I punched out the greeting with the new Scallop punches found on page 17 of the Occasions Catalog. The awesome glimmer paper on the greeting and balloon are from the Myths & Magic product suite … that is also where you will find the coordinating Washi Tape I used on the outside and inside of my card.

AND  … if you like to party like a Panda, I’ve got a fun video to share with you. Sit back and watch how our Stampin’ Family parties … this is one of our On Stage events. We see new product introductions, how to use it, celebrate each others accomplishments, stamping demonstrations and the beloved PRIZE PATROL!!! Enjoy …

Two for Tuesday: Picture Perfect Party

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m back with 2 super cute, super easy cards that you can create with the new Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper stack! I made this easy peasy card with the candle pattern and the Happy Birthday Thinlet …

I used Bermuda Bay and Basic Black cardstock to create the big bold birthday wish on this card. I glued the two pieces together but “off set” them so you get the shadow effect which really makes the greeting pop!

My second card I used the designer paper with the circles on it. I really wanted to make this a FUN card so I used the Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and Ribbon …

I also used a touch of black cardstock to mat my designer paper and to cut the “celebrate” greeting. The “YOU” is cut with the Silver Foil paper to create the focal point, and it coordinates with a couple of the dots on the designer paper.

The die cut greetings are an exclusive item that you can get FREE with a qualifying purchase. The Celebrate You thinlets dies are in our Sale-a-bration catalog and it’s our biggest and most fun promotion of the year… Seriously, who doesn’t like FREE stamps and / or accessories … and NOW Thinlets!!

Hope you enjoyed todays Birthday cards … we can never have too many of those.

Thank you for spending a part of your day with me, it’s always nice to hang out with a friend.

Have a great day!

Create perfect birthday projects with photographic images and festive party designs with the Picture Perfect Party suite by Stampin’ Up! Coordinating paper, ink, ribbon, Embossing Folder, and more!

I have an announcement for you …

Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon Removed

The Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon (145502) due to issues with the manufacturer  we have continued to experience delays in production. As a result, Stampin’ Up! decided the best course of action for all of us and the company is to remove this item from our product offering.

We know many of you—just like us—were eagerly anticipating the release of this product. We want you to know how sorry we are about this turn of events. Although Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon won’t be available, we have some good news: We’ve got many other ribbons that are available. With your creative minds, we know you’ll still be able to create the perfect card!

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

With that said … there is plenty of awesome products in this suite, so stop back tomorrow for my Two for Tuesday and I’ll share with you what I’ve come up with.

Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Have a great week ~
