To create today’s card I performed surgery once again! Surgery on my rubber stamp that is and let me tell you, it can be pretty scary but it feels great conquering a fear, even if it’s just with a rubber stamp! I cut apart one of my stamps and honestly, the words were all so close together that I didn’t think I was going to be able to trim it and be happy with it, but I decided to just go for it. I’m so happy I did!
I have quite a few stamps that I really like but they say more than I really want. I love a good set with lots of different fonts saying thank you but I usually just want the words, thank you. I used a sentiment from All Things Thanks that said, thank you for welcoming our newest arrival. I have never used it as is, but it’s certainly a sentiment that I like having. Now that it’s been separated, I just added more value to the set! (more…)
Today’s card uses a Sale-a-bration gift that can be yours with a $100 order. The Celebrate You Thinlit Dies include three words: amazing, you and celebrate. Very rarely do items from the Sale-a-bration catalog carry over into a catalog but these dies will be in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog and I couldn’t be happier. Get them free only until this Saturday!! After that they won’t be available again until June and they won’t be free! Click to see all of the available free gifts.
I used the Thinlits to make my card and when you open it up, there’s a pocket where a gift card can slide right on in. Check out the video below and see how quick and easy it is to create!
I used Tutti Frutti 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to decorate my Lemon Lime Twist cardstock base. This paper is so cheerful and I though the apples on the front would be perfect to use for a special teacher.
The supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below. Click on any of the images to place an order. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

The Ultimate Bundle is the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit and not telling you about it would just be wrong. I have several credit cards that when I use them, I get a discount. I’m an Amazon Prime member and I get free shipping all year long after paying an up-front fee. The Stampin’ Up! Ultimate Bundle is the Starter Kit for $99 and you get a discount every time you place an order. And during Sale-a-bration it’s even sweeter.
Before I tell you what you’ll receive with the Starter Kit, I want you to know that you don’t have to have parties to get your discount (unless you want to), you can just get it for discounts on what you buy.
When you purchase the $99 Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit here’s what you’ll receive:
$125 in Stampin’ Up! product! You’ll go through the Occasions and Annual Catalogs and choose anything you want that equals $125. Anything!!

When you order during Sale-a-bration you’ll also receive TWO EXTRA STAMP SETS – any stamp set, any price (excludes bundles and Sale-a-bration sets). That’s a $101 value!
I bought the Starter Kit almost nine years ago. After my first purchase of Stampin’ Up! products, I was hooked and joined just to get the discount! I had absolutely NO interest in having parties trying to sell the product, I just wanted to get a discount on what I wanted. That changed after about six months when I wanted to share what I was making with my friends.
The Starter Kit has absolutely no obligation. Honest! If you decide to drop, there’s no penalty and no one will hassle you. It really is a sweet deal! If you have questions, please contact me and I’d be happy to talk to you about the starter kit. Remember, if you purchase it by this Saturday, March 31st, you’ll receive an additional TWO stamp sets, your choice, any price. Once you join, I’m just a phone call or email away to help you with your Stampin’ Up! journey.
When I joined I had tons of questions so if you have them, ask away! It really is a great deal and to good not to tell you about!

Easter is almost here and today I have a little box that can you can make very quickly. Add some candy and you have a thinking of you treat for someone! Check out the video down towards the end of the post!
I used Thick Whisper White cardstock and Springtime Foils Designer Series paper to create the box. The gorgeous Designer Series Paper is FREE with a $50 purchase but only until Saturday, March 31, 2018! There are over thirty different Sale-a-Bration productsto choose from with either a $50 or $100 order!
For the bottom of the box, cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock that measures 5 1/4″ x 7. Score at 1″ along all four sides. Holding your paper vertically, cut on the score lines up to the horizontal score line. Turn your paper over and add Tear and Tape to the tabs. Bring up the sides to create the box.
Cut a piece of Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper that measures 5 1/8″ x 10″. Score along the long side at 2″, 3″, 6 1/4″ and 7 1/4″. Fold on all the score lines. Add Tear and Tape to one end and then wrap the paper around the box. Update: Score on the wrong side of the Springtime Foils paper as this will help with any “cracking” of the paper that might occur.
Stamp the bunny from We Must Celebrate onto Thick Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Color the bunny (I used Stampin’ Blends which are currently on backorder until approximately May 2018) and cut it out using the Layering Ovals Framelits (this set includes 15 different ovals that can be layered together). Use these framelits to also cut out ovals using Berry Burst and Silver Foil. Layer all of the pieces together and add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Berry Burst oval.
Wrap Berry Burst 3/8″ Metallic-Edge ribbon around the box. The box can still be opened placing it as I did, but you could also wrap it up like a present. Attach the bunny to the front of the box. Add Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie to the inside of the box along with your favorite treat!
If you’d like a free PDF tutorial of today’s project, it will be in my newsletter that goes out tomorrow!Sign up for my newslettertoday so you don’t miss out!
All of the supplies I used are listed below but the this version of the box uses 5/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbonand the bunny was colored with Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Blends. (The Blends are currently unavailable but will hopefully be back at the end of May).
You can purchase any of the supplies I used to create today’s project by clicking the images below. With every $50 purchase you’ll not only earn a Sale-a-Bration gift (until March 31, 2018) but aBradley Point too!
Today’s card features the gorgeous Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper in the Occasions Catalog. One side of each sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper has silver accents, which is so pretty in person, and the other side has colorful printed images.
I used the stamp set Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts for the sentiment using a Marina Mist stamp pad. I tend to use Memento Black Ink for my sentiments but thought the Marina Mist added a bit of softness to the card. The sentiment was cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits which gives the look of stitching around the oval. It sits on top of a Calypso Coral scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits. These two sets coordinate beautifully together! For an extra pop of color, I finished the card by adding three Subtles Enamel Shapes. These shapes are sold by color family and Marina Mist is part of the Subtles collection.
Whisper White Thick Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ scrap for sentiment
Calypso Coral Cardstock: 3-1/2″ x 4″ scrap for scalloped oval
Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper: 3-1/4″ x 3-3/4″
If you make today’s card using a different Designer Series Paper or the same paper I used, I’d love to see your creation! An email from you sharing your card would make my day!
Have a wonderful weekend! I’ll be back on Monday with another project and a video!
