Favored Flowers

I will admit, I didn't immediately love this designer series paper when I saw it in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  I saw others using it and started warming up to it.  Well, when I got it in my hands, I loved it!  The flowers are pretty, but the back side prints are fantastic!  

For the first card, I used a sentiment from Something Fancy, and a fun sketch from Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty.  The Fresh Freesia panel is embossed with the Basics 3D crosshatch embossing folder (Online Exclusives - see below).

My second and third card are pretty much the same using different colors.  I used a Freshly Made Sketch for this one.  I used the Sending Support stamp set (another free item with a $50 purchase in Sale-a-bration).  The sentiment was stamped and then die cut with the Sending Dies.  

Stampin' Up! recently announced the new Online Exclusives.  These are products you will not find in any catalog.  They will be available online until they are sold out.  These were available for preorder so I ordered a bundle, along with the Basics 3D embossing folders (set of three).  They are fantastic!  The Online Exclusives are available to customers starting March 1, so stay tuned!

Don't wait on this dsp. Sale-a-bration is over soon, and this could sell out early!  Shop by clicking below.  When you spend $50 or more with me, you will receive a card kit (two of the above) minus the stamping.  You will also get to choose an item from the Sale-a-bration catalog! 

Rainy Days

Do you like rainy days?  I don't mind them so much when the temperatures are warm, but I hate rain in winter!  These cute characters are definitely out in the spring or summer rain.  Aren't they adorable?  The Rain or Shine suite is so fun!  The dies from the Playing in the Rain bundle cut some of the characters and umbrellas from the designer series paper.  Love it!  Here are two cards I made with the bundle/suite.

For the first, I embossed a panel of Balmy Blue (4 x 5-1/4) with the Raindrops embossing folder.  I adhered the pieces cut from dsp, then I had this Flirty Flamingo frame left over from another project and decided to put it on top.  The clouds are brushed with Wink of Stella, but it's hard to see. For the sentiment, I used the hexagon from Something Fancy dies.

For this card, I used a base of Flirty Flamingo and added the embossed Balmy Blue panel.  The bunny, clouds and grass were cut and adhered.  The sentiment is on a label from the Something Fancy Dies (a new favorite die set!).  This is for someone close to me who loves pink and recently had a liver transplant.  It's too soon to send, but I wanted it ready for when she is feeling a bit better (hoping and praying).

If you'd like to shop for this adorable suite, bundle, etc., just click below.  During Sale-a-bration (ends in February), you will get to choose a free item when you purchase $50 or more.  I will send you a card kit for these two as well (minus the stamping). 

Let's Taco-bout it!

When I saw the Taco Fiesta stamp set, I knew I had to have it.  My family loves tacos!  This is so cute, especially if you love to color with Stampin' Blends like I do.

The first is plain and simple for my son -- Crumb Cake base with a piece of the Dandy Designs designer series paper (FREE with qualified purchase in Sale-a-Bration).  

On this one, I added a layer of Crumb Cake embossed with the Stripes and Splatters embossing folder.  I love the saying!

The third is a Basic White card base with two offset decorative circles (saw this idea in the catalog).  Love the cute pinata!  There is a strip of Pumpkin Pie that was cut with the Basic Borders dies.  The dsp is the 2022-2024 In Color designer series paper.  I embossed the sentiments with Stampin' White emboss powder on Basic Black cardstock.

For any order $50 and over, you will first receive a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  Then you will receive a card kit for the three cards shown here from me (no stamped images per Stampin' Up!).  Click on the products below to shop!

Valentine's Day Continued...

Here is another card I made with the Country Floral Lane suite.  The punch will be returning soon, so get ready to grab it!  I know a lot of people have been waiting for it.  This card uses non-traditional colors.  What do you think?  Are you more of a pink/red/purple person for Valentine's, or do you like the peachy pink (Petal Pink) and green (Mint Macaron)? 

I also had a lot of fun making these treat holders.  The Pretty Pillow Box Die is retired, but I couldn't resist using it with the Country Floral Lane suite.

Shop for products in my store 24/7.  If you spend $50, you will get a card kit for this card minus the stamped images.  You will also get to choose a FREE item in the Sale-a-bration Catalog!  

Country Floral Lane Valentines

Anyone who knows me well knows I don't really like Valentine's Day!  I'm not usually a heart person either.  I'm not sure what prompted me to get the Country Floral Lane Suite.  All I know is, once I started using it, I couldn't stop!  Unfortunately, the punch is on back order but it will be back in April.  This isn't just for Valentine's Day!  

Here are a couple of the cards I created.  I used a different label on each.  First was the Decorative Circle punch.  On the second, I used the Seasonal Labels dies.   They are currently on low inventory, so hurry if you want them!  For the third, I used Tailor Made Tags dies which I love!  

You will receive a free tutorial with any purchase in my store.  Spend $50 or more and you will receive a card kit to make the three cards above (not including stamped images).  You will also be able to choose a FREE item in the Sale-a-bration catalog!!
