Share What You Love …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

So how are you liking the new items add to our Sale-a-bration list of goodies?

I’ve already shared card samples that have featured the Pearlized Doilies, the Petal Promenade paper (love it) and the Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut Specialty paper.

Today I have a card that features the Pearlized Doilies, the Petal Promenade paper AND the tags from the “Share What You Love Embellishment Kit”.  Included in the photo is the Embellishment kit box … which I feel is a totally “giftable” box. It’s so pretty.


The delicate flowers you see on the card were actually “fussy cut” out of the designer paper and the doily was folded back and forth to create a fan effect … so cute.  This card was cased from fellow demonstrator Kim McGillis, who was also one of our Artisan stampers.

The impression on the card front was created using the Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the card color pallet is …

I have another card that features a tag from the “Share What You Love Embellishment Kit”.
This one is featuring the Blackberry Bliss … so pretty, and the water coloring technique of the flower, and they were all designed to coordinate, Again yo see the lovely designer series paper.
I have an update for you as well … The Home to Roost and Lasting Lily are on “Low Inventory Status” and the following items are no longer available: the Organdy Ribbon pack, the Butterfly Elements, the Foil Sheets, Precious Parcel Card Kit and from the Sale-a-bration Coordination: the Hop Around Framelit Dies.
I guess it just goes to show how much we all love our Sale-a-bration FREEBIES … and not to wait if there is one or two that you really want. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
On a happy note … I’ll be back tomorrow with another card to share!  Thanks for dropping in on my today!
Happy Friday to you ~

I have listed to products used to make the cards above … this will allow you to choose the “Share What You Love Embellishment Kit” for FREE!!

Share What You Love …. Card Review

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I can’t believe it is Monday already (again!) time goes by way too quickly!! Today I’m going to share several cards from my “Share What You Love” collection of cards.  I thought I would be nice to see the many styles you can create with this product suite …

I’m going to share the video with you again because it explains all of the contents from each of the 3 different bundles, with the 4 bundles consisting of the New In-Colors!!

Isn’t that an amazing product suite … I love it!  This pretty card was created by Stampin’ Up! and shown in the video. It is what you can create with the first bundle. I think the first bundle is great for someone who is just starting out … they will need the ink pads and the block as well as the paper.

This is the Level 1 Bundle! Great if you are a new stamper.

Level 2 bundle. This is a step up for a more experienced stamper.  The block is gone (you’ll already have one) but you’ll get an additional stamp set and more … I love the box that contains the embellishments!!!

This card is from the level 2 bundle which was also created by Stampin’ Up! and showcases the pretty lazer cut tags from the pretty accessories box and the Pearlized Doilies.  This bundle also comes with another stamp set.  I love it because you can create your own words with it …

Level 3 … Got to Have it All Bundle!!!

This bundle is where you get the beautiful Designer Paper, a brand new “Got to Have” embossing folder and another stamp set! Here is another pic of my first card creation …

This card shows another one of the Designer papers … this one has the shimmer or Pearlized look on the flowers. It also shows the 3rd stamp set that is included in the “Got to Have It All” bundle.  You can’t see it well on this photo but I added Wink of Stella on the flowers!!

These two are my favorites … the Grapefruit Grove card above and the Mint Macaron below.  The Mint Macaron card highlights the embossing Folder, two beautiful designer paper patterns (One we cut the flowers out to create a bouquet on our card) the doily and the lazer cut tag!

I must tell you that the beautiful box has the same lovely pattern as one of the designer papers. The paper actually has the pearlized or shimmery flowers … it is stunning!!

In this photo I am showcasing the New In-Colors (Bundle 4) and the embossing folder and the many verses in the stamp set. I really love this product suite. I find it very versatile and I know I’ll be sharing more …

I hope you enjoyed taking a look back at all of the different styles (Oh there is so much more you can do as well).

Thank you for stopping in today, and please let me know if you have any questions with this beautiful product suite and the fun, fun bundles.

Have a wonderful day!

Simply Sunday: Beautiful Day!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Oh my goodness … I’m slackin’ a bit today!! I have to work which is unusual for me on a Sunday but I wanted to let my staff have a “sleep in” day after their prom.

Today I have I have a beautiful card to share with you that is very easy to make yet quite elegant. We made this card for our May Stampin’ Club meeting …

I used one of the designer papers from the Share What You Love … Got to Have it All bundle.  It is so pretty! We then stamped our greeting and the flowers to wrap around the greeting.

The flowers coordinate with the designer paper, so I decided we should watercolor our flowers as well.  We used the Aqua Painters and a drop or two from the ink refills… then colored them in.  We used the coordinating marker to draw the lines in …

Those that know me well and have attended my classes, clubs and / or retreats know that I love “sparkly” things, and the Glitter Dots are one of my favorite.  I was sad to see these on the “RETIRED” list but happy to see they are back … just in pretty new colors!!  Wooo Hooo!!

Here is the Level 3, or should I say “Got to have it All” bundle!!  This awesome bundle is what I used to create my card.

The bundles (there are 4 of them; listed below) are available to you as a special pre-order … in this kit your FREE gifts include the “Share What You Love” Embellishment Kit, Very Vanilla Medium Envelopes and the “Statement of My Heart” stamp set!!

I can’t forget to mention the ribbon … the beautiful velvet ribbon!! I coordinates so beautifully and gives the card an added dimension, texture and warmth.

Thank You so much for stopping by my blog today.

Have a wonderful day!

I’m Lucky …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have I have a beautiful card to share with you that is simple in it’s own right yet quite elegant. My card was inspired by fellow demonstrator Rebecca Urban … Her card was so beautiful I didn’t change much.

I decided to use the new Grapefruit Grove for my pop of color. I cased Rebecca’s the layout only changing the placement of the mat on the doily … mine is placed behind the doily, whereas Rebecca had her color on the front, directly behind the greeting. Both of us used the “Share What You Love” Designer paper … just different patterns.

I switched mine up a bit by adding the new “Polka Dot Tulle” ribbon … not available until June 1st but it’s so cute I couldn’t resist!!  And I just had to add the Metal Edged Pearl in the center of my flower, I believe the pearl brings out the pearlescent finish of the doily and designer paper.

Here is the Level 3, or should I say “Got to have it All” bundle!!  This awesome bundle is what I used to create my card.

It is all available to you as a special pre-order … in this kit your FREE gifts include the “Share What You Love” Embellishment Kit, Very Vanilla Medium Envelopes and the “Statement of My Heart” stamp set!!

Thank You so much for stopping by my blog today.

Have a wonderful day!

Stampin’ Technique: Reverse Masking

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I heard it rained here on Sunday morning … hmmm, I never heard a thing! lol Yesterday I posted two cards that were created by my Retreat Attendee’s for our Swap, and Janet’s card used a technique called Mask Resist. I was asked “how” that is done, so I tried to explain it in my reply but thought I should show you, so I will 🙂

Today the card that I created is using the “Got To Have it All” Bundle …

Directions:

Use any framelit or die to cut out a circle, oval or other shape using Vellum Paper. I cut my vellum piece the same size as the cardstock I will be stamping on (No Mess!)

Adhere the Vellum Paper “reverse mask” to a piece of cardstock with a very small spot of removable adhesive (I use the retired Stampin’ Up! Dotto).

Without moving the mask, ink your Stampin’ Sponge and sponge within the masked area with a light color, leaving a bit lighter area in the center

Remove the vellum mask (remove any Dotto residue with the Adhesive Eraser) and Stamp a focal point stamp INSIDE masked area onto cardstock… today I used the bonus stamp from the “Got to Have It All” Bundle.

Stamp additional images that overlap the focal area and the white space for added dimension … and a little “Wink of Stella” always adds a sweet little touch of sparkle to your card.

Thank you for hanging out with me today.

Have a wonderful day!
