Last Chance for Sale-a-Bration!

Sale-a-Bration is almost over and I wanted to share a couple of cards with you that use the free items you can get when you place a $60 order.

 This first card is beautiful!  I am usually not a fan of orange but this Peach Parfait looks really nice with Poppy Parade.  Both of these colours will be retiring at the end of May.  The designer series paper on this card is from the Everyday Enchantment pack which is free during Sale-a-Bration.  This paper is so gorgeous and will certainly be missed!  The stamp set on the butterfly is called Fresh Vintage and is also free during SAB.

This card also uses the same items from Sale-a-Bration as above.  If you look closely on the dsp, you can see some organdy Lucky Limeade ribbon.  Another SAB item is a roll of Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral Organdy ribbon as well as 30 printed designer brads which you can see in the middle of the flower.

If you place a $60 order, you can chose one item from the SAB brochure for free.  If you would like to join my Dare to Stamp team, the starter kit is ONLY $150 right now.  If you join now, you also will get a free designer series paper pack or digital download free every month for the rest of the year.  I would love to have you on my team.  Hurry though, SAB is over on March 31.

 This card uses lots of different things.  The cardstock colours are Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, and Chocolate Chip.  The stamp set is Bliss which is only available until March 31 in Sale-a-Bration.  The flower is cut out with the Fun Flower die for the Big Shot which can be found in the Occasions Mini.  We then put the flower in the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder through the Big Shot.  It is hard to see in the picture but this card is really elegant in real life.

This second card is so bright and cherry.  The cardstock is Daffodil Delight.  The flower is stamped with the Build a Blossom stamp set and punched out with the coordination punch which are in the Occasions Mini.  The dsp is Ice Cream Parlour which is available from the Sale-a-Bration brochure until March 31.  The greeting is from Punch Bunch which is also in the SAB brochure.

 This is a card I made to demonstrate at my sister's workshop a couple of weekends ago.  It is very simple and uses the image from Fun and Fast Notes.  The cardstock colour is Daffodil Delight.  The dsp is from the Sale-a-Bration brochure and is called Ice Cream Parlour.

This is the card that the guests got to make.  I really love this card.  It features the Sale-a-Bration set called Bliss.  The cardstock colours are Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.  We used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder in the Big Shot.  If you look closely, you can see a rhinestone on the butterfly.  This will be one of the cards that we make at my Wednesday night class.

Concord Crush Rose

Today is a good friends birthday and I am sharing with you the card I made for her.  I am so happy to have her in my life and I have Stampin' Up! to thank for that!!!

This card is so cool if I do say so myself!!!  The cardstock colours are Crumb Cake, Concord Crush, Old Olive and Whisper White.  I used the tulip frame embossing folder for the Big Shot on the Crumb Cake. 
The flower is made from the Owl punch of all things.  I spritzed it with Vanilla Smooch Spritz to add the shine.  The ribbon is Concord Crush striped poly-stitch and the greeting is from the free Sale-a-Bration set, Punch Bunch. 
If you want to learn how to make this flower, stay tuned for a new type of class, Bring on the Wow, that I will be offering beginning in April!!
My newsletter is going out this morning so be sure to check your inboxes.  There are some exciting classes being offered.  Have a great Tuesday!

Frosty

Here is a card that I made last year in November or December.  It was one of the cards made at my stamp club but I never showed it.

This card is so cute and makes me smile!  He is made using the Top Note die for the Big Shot (which is a FABULOUS tool!!!).  The Whisper White cardstock was scored in half and then put through the Big Shot.  When you use the Top Note die, you can put more than one sheet through at a time so we lined it up just a bit below the cutting line so that the two pieces stayed attached.  We then used the Top Note to cut a piece of Basic Black for the hat.  The face is made using punches.
If you are interested in learning new techniques, then why not consider joining my stamp club.  Email me for more info.
Remember that Sale-a-Bration is on and for every $60 order you place before shipping and taxes, you can choose a free item from the Sale-a-Bration brochure.

Bliss

Here is another card we made last week at our February club.  I LOVE this stamp set from Sale-a-Bration and this is one of my favourite cards that I have made.

The stamp set is called Bliss.  The cardstock colours are Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White.  The images are stamped in Chocolate Chip ink and the word is coloured in with the Baja Breeze maker.  We used the colour spritzer on the Baja Breeze cardstock to add some 'splatter'.  There is a pearl in the middle of the image.  The Crumb Cake cardstock was put through the Big Shot in the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.  This card is kind of a different style because you open the part with bliss and then open the right  hand side.  I would love to hear what you think!

Here is another video by Stampin' Up! featuring the Sale-a-Bration set Bliss.

Sale-A-Bration: Sweet Summer Project

Here is a video my Stampin' Up! featuring the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Sweet summer.  Remember for every $60 order you place , you can choose a free item from the Sale-a-Bration brochure.

Punch Bunch

At my downline meeting Friday night, we made 3 3"x3" notecards using the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Punch Bunch.  We also used the level 1 hostess paper pack as the accent.  These are cute little cards and would make a nice gift for someone.

The colours used are Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, Concord Crush, Poppy Parade, and Tempting Turquoise.



Great Night

Last night I hosted my Dare to Stamp team meeting.  There were 8 of us total and we had fun, at least I hope the other 7 had fun!!!  I shared some business info with everyone first, showed a video of highlights from last years convention with the hopes that some will join me this year and then we stamped and snacked!

These are the litle treats I gave everyone.  I used Stampin' Up!'s smallest cello bag and then filled them with red treats.  I cut a Real Red top note from the Big Shot and scored it in half.  I punched out the leaf from the Bird punch and the Owl from the Owl punch.  I added googly eyes and punched a small heart from the awesome glimmer paper. 
I will share our other projects later but in the meantime, here are stampers at work!!

If you want in on the fun, why not join my team and now is especially great because during Sale-a-Bration, you will receive 15% off the starter kit as well as a $60 product bonus!!

Take a Spin

I made this cute 3x3 card last week for my sister's birthday.  It uses the new set Take a Spin in the Occasions mini.

The cardstock colours are Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White.  I used the dsp from the level 1 hostess set that you can choose from the main catalogue.  The ribbon is Daffodil Delight 1/8" taffeta.  I used various markers to colour the stamp.  I added a spinner in the middle which can also be found in the Occasions mini.
Remember that the biggest sale of the year is on.  For every $60 order before shipping and taxes, you can choose a Sale-a-Bration item for FREE!

Punch Bunch

This card uses one of the Sale-a-Bration sets called Punch Bunch.  Every stamp in this set coordinates with one of the punches.  This is a club card for this month.

The cardstock colours are Pacific Point, So Saffron, and Whisper White.  I used Pear Pizzaz ribbon as the stem and leaves.  You can see that I also used the NEW and FABULOUS Tulips embossing folder on the So Saffron cardstock.  It makes such a great frame.  It can be found in the Occasions mini.
Remember that for every $60 order you place before shipping and taxes, you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration item.  It would also be a fantastic time to book a workshop or to join my Dare to Stamp team!

Sale-a-Bration Part 2: Become a Demonstrator

It is hard for me to believe that I have been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for almost 5 years.  I have loved every minute of it and have made some great friends from it.  I have been to 2 Conventions and 1 Leadership and many stamping days.  I look forward to what Stampin' Up! has to offer me in the future. 
I have always been a crafty person and in September of 2005, I attended my first Stampin' Up! workshop.  From there, I was hooked.  I booked my own workshop for February 2006 and attended a few classes and an open house.  I decided at the open house that I wanted to be a demonstrator.  I have met many people who I am happy to call my friends now and I really love sharing what I do and showing people how they can create handmade 'things' and that it isn't really that hard!!! 
During Sale-a-Bration, Stampin' Up! is offering a special on the starter kit to become a demonstrator.  The kit is 15% off ($182.50) and you get a special bundle worth $60 that is somewhat customizable.  I have recently grown my Dare to Stamp team and I know that we would love to have you join us.  If you are interested in attending a team meeting, I have one coming up on February 4 and would love to have you join us.  Just let me know.  If there is anything I can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Club Projects

Last Thursday was my Stamp Club and we made some really cute cards. We used some new stamps from the Occasions mini and played with the new FREE punch from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue.This first card uses the bird image from the level 3 hostess set, The More The Merrier. The heart in the middle was punched out three times using Real Red cardstock. Each heart was folded in half and then glued together. The most exciting thing on this card is the scalloped edge border which was punched out using the new punch which I got for FREE when I placed a $65 order. You too can earn free items from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue by placing any $65 order.

This second card is a cute baby card. We used the monkey stamp from the new set Fox and Friends which is available in the Occasions mini. Each monkey is punched out using the scallop square punch and the ribbon is the Soft Suede polka-dotted ribbon. The border on this card is made using the eyelet border punch.

If you are interested in joining a stamp club to learn new techniques and have a fun night of stamping, contact me today. I will be back tomorrow to show you the third project we made.
