I was instantly drawn to the Lots of Happy Card Kit the first time I saw it at On Stage in November. It was one of my first purchases from the Occasions catalog and when it arrived, wow! I was shocked at how much product was included! There are card bases, envelopes, vellum leaves, ribbon, four full-sized Watercolor Pencils, a clear block, 7 photopolymer stamps, a Black Archival Stampin’ Spot and so much more. You’ll have enough materials to make 20 different cards. All you need to provide is adhesive (although it does include Stampin’ Dimensionals). How great is that??
A refill is also available which comes with everything except the stamp set, clear block, ink spot and watercolor pencils (#145605).
This video from Stampin’ Up! shows you exactly what you’ll get in the kit and tips for assembling the cards. As mentioned in the video, a blender pen (not included in the kit) can be used to make your coloring look more even.
If you’d like to purchase the Lots of Happy Card Kit, click here and you’ll be directed to my Stampin’ Up! Online store.
With a $50 purchase, you’ll be able to choose a Sale-A-Bration gift right when you place your order. Use my February Host Code (2GWMTTXZ) and you’ll receive my February Thank You – 3 Card Kits and a Paper Sampler. You’ll just need to supply ink, adhesive and the Bird Banter stamp set(or something already in your stamp collection). Click here to place your order today!
Are you ready for the Treat Holders Glitter Queen Blog Hop? We have some treat holders that are sure to send you rushing to your crafting area! My project is small and holds a little something for someone special.
I used the beautiful Painted with Love Speciality Designer Series Paper. Although the paper is on a page in the Occasions Catalog associated with Valentine’s Day, it could really be used for any occasion.
My sentiment comes from Seasonal Chums which is a carryover stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. You can’t find it in a current catalog but it is available here!
I made a video showing how to make these cute little holders and I have to apologize for the abrupt end of the video (although the project is finished when it stops). Every single problem that you could have while filming, happened. The final product was about my tenth try and I just went with it. Sometimes you just have to laugh rather than get upset! So please scroll down to the end of the post for the video and you’ll also find a supply list there as well!
I hope you’ll continue through our hop! Next up is Davette, who always has the most gorgeous projects!Here’s the list of all the hopping Glitter Queens!
To purchase any of the products used to make today’s treat holders, simply click any of the images and you’ll be directed to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

Place a minimum $50 order this month using the host code 2GWMTTXZ and I’ll send you all the materials to make the three cards below. Everything will be all ready for you to create and you’ll just need to supply ink, adhesive and stamped images (per Stampin’ Up!, I cannot send stamped images).

Another Glitter Queens Blog Hop will take place tomorrow! We will actually post tonight (Thursday) but we work on any broken links that we might have so by the time you visit Friday morning everything should be up and ready! I hope you’ll join us!
Sale-A-Bration is so much fun because with each $50 purchase (before shipping/tax) you earn a FREE gift. This year there are $50 AND $100 rewards. If your order reaches $100, you can choose two $50 items or one $100 item. The two $100 items are the last two products in my list below: Celebrate You Thinlits Dies and Happy Wishes stamp set. The Celebrate You Thinlits are a product that WILL be in the new 2018-2019 catalog but you can now earn them free! You can see a project I made with the Thinlits here.
It’s always nice to see products in action so be sure to check out the videos below!
It’s Monday! Did you have a nice weekend? Yesterday I was able to visit with family that I haven’t seen in a while so that made my weekend extra special.
Today I have a quick and easy lollipop holder! I’m so in love with the Painted with Love Speciality Designer Paper. It is so pretty in person and I love the gold foil accents on one side of each sheet.
I also used the Love Mini Tinsel Trim Combo Pack to make my bows. It comes in Gold and Powder Pink and it comes packaged with both colors! I love the sparkle and it’s so pretty that you really don’t need to add anything else to the holder. But, I did add a sentiment to the one on the left. It sits on top of a scalloped gold foil circle and a Metallic Enamel star in gold adds even more sparkle. The sentiment is from the stamp set Seasonal Chums which debuted in the Holiday Catalog. It’s a carryover item and can still be purchased (you’ll find it in the supply list below). (more…)
Isn’t this little panda adorable?? He’s one of three pandas in the stamp set Party Pandas and it’s one of the FREE items you can earn during Sale-a-bration! Place a $50 order (before tax and shipping) and you can add these pandas to your order. There are 12 other choices and you can see them here in the Sale-a-bration catalog.
I had so much fun stamping with this little guy and used my Stamparatus for the first time. I was able to get one early because I was on a team that helped to develop this wonderful new tool. If you preordered one back in November, you should have received an email that yours will be shipping mid February. I wanted to get good coverage of the panda with black ink which was why I stamped him using the Stamparatus. Because it comes with strong magnets to hold your paper in place, you can stamp over and over again until you get the kind of coverage you want. You’re going to love this tool! If you weren’t able to preorder it, they will be available in the new Annual catalog which debuts in June. (more…)
