Sale-a-bration Kickoff

I had a Spring Catalog and Sale-a-bration Kickoff today at my home.  It was a great group of women and I enjoyed having them over to make cards!! Here’s one of the cards we made.  It starts off with a piece of 4 1/4 x 11 inch piece of paper which is then scored at 3″ and 8″.  Then the two side panels fold in.  The little curly label shape with the heart has adhesive on one side so that the left side stays closed!  With a $50 order, you would be able to receive the cute Petite Curly Label punch absoulutely FREE!!  Or if you wanted the Pretty Petites stamp instead, you could get that FREE. Place a $100 order and get them both FREE.  So much fun!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!  If you would like to place an order and/or visit my Stampin’ Up! website, just click HERE.  Any questions, please just email me!

My card today makes me smile.  I love all of the bright colors and it almost looks good enough to eat! My inspiration came from Stamp Academy, an online membership site that I joined. 
My sentiment is not exactly where I wanted it to go.  After I inked up my stamp pad and stamped, I touched my card and realized I still had ink on my hand which of course landed on my card, right near the very bottom of the card.  The decision where to put my sentiment was made.  I fanned out the scallop ovals so that it was good and covered.  I have to say that I like the look and will probably try it again!!  There are no mistakes when you are stamping!
Thanks so much for stopping by today.  If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.  If you would like to place an order but don’t want to stop by my online store, shoot me an email along with your CC information and I will be happy to place it for you!

Swallowtail

I’m loving the combination of Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder so I decided to try using these colors for my butterfly.  This is a new stamp in the Spring catalog called Swallowtail.  I used Versamark to stamp my butterfly onto Whisper White cardstock.  Then I sprinkled it with white embossing powder.  I added color using my sponge daubers. I decided to cut it out so that I wouldn’t have to be super careful with my sponging but next time I want to try it directly on Whisper White.  I’ve seen many demonstrators using black embossing powder but I didn’t have any.  I am happy with the effect the white gives!

My cute sentiment is a stamp set you can receive FREE with a $50 order.  It is called Pretty Petites and I used the Petite Curly Label punch which is another FREEBIE!!! It is popped up with dimensionals onto a piece of Pool Party punched out with the 1 1/4 inch Scallop Circle (still available from the Holiday catalog).  

If you place a $50 order on my SU! website (or email me and I can place the order for you), your name will be entered on my 50/50 board.  When the board is full, I will choose one lucky winner who will receive $50 in free Stampin’ Up! merchandise from me!!  Just be sure that you are ordering on MY SU! page – be sure my name is in the upper right hand corner.  

Have a great day!
Tracy
