Floral Statements & Stampin’ Blends

As a child I loved getting mail and nothing has changed now that I’m an adult. A few days ago I received this beauty from my team member, Linda. Opening the package from her was so much fun and along with her gorgeous card, she included another goodie but I’ll save that for another day! (more…)

Petal Passion & Flying Home

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you have a fun day whether or not you have a special someone to spend it with. My husband is out of town on business so I’ll play in my craft room, eat a little chocolate and have a happy day! Later today I’m babysitting my grandchildren so I’ll get to give them some Valentine’s Day hugs.

Today’s card combines Petal Passion Designer Series Paper and the oh so cute, Flying Home stamp set.  I’m loving all of the bird stamps in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog.  A cute little bird just makes me smile and then when you combine it with flowers, . . . . love it!

I used Memento Ink to stamp my bird, birdhouse & flowers and then colored it in with Stampin’ Blends using:  Rich Razzleberry, Pool Party, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Bronze and Ivory. I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Berry Burst square it sits on with the Layering Squares Framelits. The Flying Home stamp set doesn’t include sentiments so “Thinking of You” came from the Friendship’s Sweetest Thoughts and it was cut out using the Petals and More Thinlits dies.

Here’s the same card but I switched out the sentiment to say Thank You.  This sentiment is from the Petal Palette stamp set. and when you purchase the stamp set and the Petals & More Thinlits dies together, you save 10% (I’ve included the bundle at the bottom of the supply list).

All of the supplies I used are below.  For easy shopping, just click any of the images to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Bird Banter Friends

Happy Monday! Today I’m sharing another Bird Banter card and aren’t these two little birds so cute? I’m very pleased that Stampin’ Up! included a bird each direction so that they can sit on a branch together.   This is the third card in my February Thank You gift when you place a minimum $50 order using the host code 2GWMTTXZ. You’ll receive all of the paper and ribbon you see on today’s card (along with the supplies for two more cards).  You’ll just need to use your own adhesive, ink and stamps (per Stampin’ Up!, I cannot send stamped images).

In addition to the three cards in your kit, you’ll also receive a Paper Sampler that includes (8) sheets of 5″ x 3-3/4″ paper, the perfect size to create a card – it’s the size I used to create two of the cards in the kit.

Don’t forget that with each $50 order, you can pick a free Sale-a-bration gift and this year there are gifts you can choose with a $100 order! And to make it all even better, on February 16th, three new items will be available! Click the catalog below to take a peek inside! To see what’s available today, click here.

  • Attach the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper to the piece of Basic Black.  Then wrap the ribbon around both sheets and attach the ends to the back with Snail.

Fast Fuse Sale Begins Tomorrow

EDITED on 2-8-18:  The Fast Fuse sale is over! My apologies to those of you who were unable to purchase any! It ended much earlier than expected as the supply ran out.

Several months ago Stampin’ Up! had a Fast Fuse Sale and all of their stock was depleted before the sale was over.  They promised us another sale and it starts on Thursday!  The sale is planned for five days but it’s while supplies last!!  Purchase one Fast Fuse and receive 2 refills FREE (that’s a $15 value)!!!

Fast Fuse Sale

I’m guessing this sale won’t last five days so please, get your order in as soon as you can once it begins on Thursday! I don’t want you to be disappointed!

Bird Banter Thank You

Bird Banter

Bird Banter is quickly becoming one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions catalog! It comes with 5 cute birds, a branch, party hat, heart, balloon and cute sentiments. Because the stamps are photopolymer, which means you can see right through them, it’s easy to get perfect placement of the heart. I used Stampin’ Blends to color the bird and heart but you could easily use colored pencils or Stampin’ Write markers.  I like using the Stampin’ Blends because you can’t see your coloring lines.  That’s a big plus to me! My card also uses Petal Passion Designer Series Paper which is a very popular item in the Occasions catalog.

This card is included in my thank you this month! Place a minimum $50 order using my host code (2GWMTTXZ) and you’ll receive all of the materials to make today’s card along with two other cards and you’ll receive a paper sampler! All of the paper in your kits will already be cut, scored, embossed and die cut.  Pull out your own ink, adhesive and stamp set and you’ll be all set to create!  Don’t have Bird Banter? Purchase it for $17.00 (see supply list below) or substitute with a stamp set of your own. Don’t forget that with every $50 purchase, you can choose a Free Sale-A-Bration gift.

Here’s what you’ll receive with your minimum $50 purchase using the Host Code:

From Stampin’ Up!

  • Your choice of a FREE Sale-A-Bration gift(s)
