Isn't this just so stinking cute?  I loved playing paper dolls when I was little, and now I am dressing them again, Stampin' Up! style!  This is one of the cards from my Red, White, and Blue class.  All of the cards used either Red, White, or Blue for their color schemes in honor of the Inauguration Day ceremonies and parades.  (And, didn't Beyonce do a great job!  lol)

Sale-A-Bration Sneak-Peek



 

Sale-A-Bration begins January 22nd, and here is one of the Make & Takes you can make at my Sale-A-Bration Open House on January 26 & 27.  This little "purse" holds 5 mini note cards with envelopes and is so stinking cute!  What do you think?

 

 

 

The mini note cards are 2 3/4 x 2 3/4" and fit perfectly in our Square Envelopes (#107309, $7.50 for 40 envelopes).  I used the Patterned Occasions stamp set, one of the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets you can choose for FREE when you spend $50 (not including tax & shipping).  I wanted to make these notes bright and cheery, so I chose Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade, Rich Razzleberry, and Island Indigo for the card stock and ink. 

 

 

 

The "purse" was made with 2 scallop envelopes cut with the Scallop Envelope Bigz Die (#113462, $21.95).  Just trim the back flap to 1/4", add some sticky strip, and just like that you have a cute little purse for your note cards.  I added a handle for the top with a strip of matching card stock cut at

1/4" x 11".  Just fold the scallop edge down and attach to front with a Stampin' Dimensional.  I decorated the front with the Pretty Petites stamp set -- another Sale-A-Bration stamp set that I LOVE!  It coordinates with the Petite Curly Label Punch which you can also get during Sale-A-Bration!  

 



 

 

So, what are you waiting for?  Book your Stampin' Up! party with me today!

Happy 25th Anniversary, Stampin' Up!

During 2013, Stampin' Up! will be celebrating an exciting milestone: 25 years of making a difference in the lives of so many people:  demonstrators, customers, and countless others through sharing creativity.  And, you are invited to join in the year-long celebration!  In the coming months, you'll see

• Corporate blog posts reminiscing on the last 25 years! (Oh my gosh -- I hope they post lots of old photos!  We all had "big hair" in the 80's, didn't we?)
• Unique 25th anniversary events at our Stampin' Up! gatherings! (Baltimore Regional will be held on Saturday, April 13 -- woohoo!)

As part of the 25-year anniversary celebration, Stampin' Up! is bringing back some of their favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!

The "Best of Birthdays" is the "Best of" set for January.  This set is available in clear mount only (Catalog #132929, $14.95).  The oval image coordinates with our Extra Large Oval Punch (#119859, $16.95) -- sweet!   

  

While Stampin' Up! is releasing just one Best of stamp set per month, all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.  Yay!  And, as a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, starting in February Stampin' Up1 is including a collector's card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set.

I am also adding a special onto the "Best of 25 Years" offering -- Purchase any 6 Best Of stamp sets from me throughout the year, and receive any catalog item of your choice priced $9.95 or less for FREE as my way to say Thanks!  Free item must be redeemed December 31, 2013.

RemARKable Stamp of the Month: Hearts A Flutter

Welcome to the RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour!  This month's stamp is Hearts A Flutter (#129249, $25.95 wood mount, #129252, $18.95 clear mount). 

You can find this stamp set on page 11 of the Occasions Mini Catalog. It is perfect for Valentine's Day and lots of other occasions, too!   I purchased the Hearts A Flutter Bundle and saved 15%!   The bundle includes the stamp set and the coordinating framelits, so cutting out the images is a breeze. You can choose the bundle with a wood mount stamp set (#131098, $42.95) or a clear mount stamp set (#131097, $36.95).  Here is the first card I made:




Hearts A Flutter with the Chalkboard Technique

I am in love with the Chalkboard Technique! This is a fun, easy technique.  Here is what you need to make your own chalkboard:

Basic Black cardstock (#121045, $6.95)

Embossing Buddy (#103083, $5.95)

Whisper White craft ink (#101731, $7.50)

White embossing powder (#109132, $4.75)

Heat tool (#129053, $29.95)

Stampin' sponge (#101610, $3.50)

White gel pen (#105021, $3.95)

Essentials Paper Piercing Pack (#126187, $7.95)

 

Rub Embossing Buddy all over Basic Black card stock.

 

Stamp sentiment with Whisper White Craft Ink.  The "Be My Valentine" sentiment is from
the Delightful Dozen stamp set.  (Page 140 of the 2012-2013 Catalog.)

Pour White Embossing Powder over top of Whisper White Craft ink while it is still wet. 

Use Heat Tool to melt embossing powder.  The right side of this image shows the embossing
powder after it has melted.  The left side of this image shows the embossing powder
before it has been heated.  See the difference?



Ink heart stamps with Whisper White Craft Ink and randomly stamp all over card stock.  Sprinkle with
White Embossing Powder, then use the Heat Tool to melt embossing powder.  



Use a Stampin' Sponge to lightly apply some Whisper White Craft Ink onto card stock to make it look
like erased areas on a chalkboard.  Use a light touch, and be sure to leave some areas un-inked so it
looks like clean areas of a chalkboard.



Use our White Gel Pen and our Essentials Paper Piercing Pack to draw lines around the perimeter
of the Basic Black card stock. 

Layer Basic Black "chalkboard" onto Pink Pirouette, then onto Cherry Cobbler, then
attach to Crumb Cake card with Stampin' Dimensionals

Close-up of the banner stamped with Pink Pirouette, Cherry Cobbler, and Crumb Cake ink.
Cutting out the banner is easy-peasy with the Hearts A Flutter Framelits!  I attached the banner
with Stampin' Dimensionals and added Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine bows to each end.  The word
"Love" is from the Pennat Parade stamp set on page 44 of the 2012-2013 Catalog.

My second card was designed with this week's Mojo Monday Sketch in mind. 

Here is my version of this sketch using the Hearts A Flutter stamp set:

MOJO275 using Hearts A Flutter stamp set.  Raspberry Ripple, Pretty In Pink, and Old Olive color scheme.

Occasions Mini Catalog

The new Occasions Mini Catalog is GORGEOUS!  I just love the product Bundles -- you save 15%!  I think my two favorite bundles (for right now -- I am sure that I will fall in love with the others!) are the Hearts a Flutter Bundle and the All Dressed Up Bundle. 

I was working in my craft room today -- nothing creative, just cleaning and organizing.  (lol)  Our Christmas decorations are stored in the attic, so my first task was to finish putting all of the bins away.  Then, I cleared off my desk so I could have room to make some new things for the RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour this weekend.  :-) 

I will be stamping tomorrow, and I will post a new project -- I promise!  See you soon!

Two Great Promotions for Valentine's Day!

Hello!  Believe it or not, Valentine's Day will be here before we know it, and Stampin' Up! has two great promotions to help you make special treats for those you love.

The Valentine Treat Bundle (#132771, $5.95) is available from now through January 21st.  This bundle includes the Happy Valentine Heart Single Stamp and a package of 1" x 8" cellophane bags (this bundle is shown to the left in the photo above).  The stamp coordinates with the Full Heart Punch (yay!) which is sold separately (#119883, $16.95).  The stamp is available in Clear Mount ready to attach to your block, and it is available in English only.

I love to use our 1" x 8" cellophane bags to make little treats for kids at school or co-workers.  The bags are a great size to hold candy (M&Ms, candy corn, Skittles, Jelly Bellies, other small candies) and also the perfect size to hold 2 pencils for the kiddos.  I like to buy "holiday-themed" pencils from the Dollar Spot at Target and put two pencils into a cello bag and add a stamped tag at the top.  Perfect little gift for classroom parties, neighborhood kiddos, and co-workers. 

The My Little Valentine Promotion is also available now through January 21st.  (to the right in the photo above)  During the My Little Valentine promotion, you will get the Sealed with Love Simply Sent Kit FREE-a $7.95 value-when purchase the brand-new My Little Valentine Set.  This four-piece stamp set was created exclusively for this promotion and will not be available again after January 21!  The stamp set is available in clear mount only, but it is available in English (#132242, $9.95), Spanish (#132245, $9.95), and French (#132248, $9.95).
