Sneak Peek!

I have a Sneak Peek for you today!  This cute little purse was made using the new Petite Purse Bigz die for the Big Shot.   It will be available from April 1st until April 30th  as a Sneak Peek offer.  It will go away but then be available on June 1st in the new 2012-2013 Idea Book and Catalog.  It is very cute. I can see one for each guest at a baby shower (I’ve had baby showers on my mind since finding out I am going to be a grandma for the first time!!!) or just a fun way to give a little treat to someone.  To give you an idea how big it is, I have 7 chocolate eggs inside. I put a button on the front and right below it is a little tab that tucks into a slit.  The paper I used is Everyday Enchantment.  This pack of beautiful paper can be yours free with a $50 order (before shipping/tax) but only until March 31st!!  If you would like to place an order, click here!

Have a wonderful Saturday night and don’t forget to put your clock ahead one hour before you go to bed!

March Thank You Cards

This is my March thank you card for anyone who places an order with me.  It is a 3×3 card using the Blossom punch in the Occasions Mini.  I punched the flower out in Daffodil Delight and then ran it through my Big Shot.  The base of the card is Rich Razzleberry as well as the Scallop Oval.  The sentiment is from one of my favorite sets, Short and Sweet!

Thank you for stopping by!!

Friend Box

Hi Friends!
Here is a quick box you can make with your Big Shot and the Bigz XL Box #2 die.  I used Berry Blossoms DSP.  You only need to add a small amount of Sticky Strip and the box folds in very easily.  My sentiment is from You’re a Gem stamped with Lucky Limeade Ink using the Large Oval punch.  I used dimensionals and punched a Scallop Oval in Wisteria Wonder.  I wrapped it with Whisper White 5/8 inch Organza ribbon, which is my favorite ribbon to use.  The rhinestones add a bit of sparkle!
Thanks for stopping by!  The weekend is almost here!

Thoughts of You

Hi Friends!
Doesn’t this card just scream SPRING??!!  I am looking forward to warmer mornings – it makes it so much easier to jump out of bed and get ready for school!
We made this card at Abbey’s workshop and at my Hostess Club last month.  My inspiration for this card came from fellow demonstrator, Mary Fish.  She used one flower and used only black and white.  I love the Daffodil Delight and Concord Crush combination.  Concord Crush is an In Color that will be retiring June 1st when the new catalog comes out.  I love purple so I will be very sad to lose this color.  I will have to stock up on it before it goes away.  
My card uses the Mixed Bunch stamp set and the Blossom punch from the Occasions Mini catalog.  I keep reaching for this stamp set and find that I like every card I create with it.  The background and the inside of my flower uses a stamp which is included in Mixed Bunch.  My sentiment comes from the stamp set Loving Thoughts, also in the Occasions Mini.  I wish I had started using this set when it first came out.  It stamps very nicely and I think it adds some elegance to my card.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Big Shot Lattice Die

Hi Friends!
We made the top card at my Hostess Club on Thursday. Both of the cards use the Lattice Die and the colors Poppy Parade and Lucky Limeade but in different ways.  I still can’t decide which way I prefer.  On the second card I ran the smaller section through the Big Shot and popped it up with dimensionals.  I CASED myself with a card I made in December (you can see it here) and another one here. It really makes a very different looking card each time.  The DSP, Everyday Enchantment, that I used can be yours free with a $50 order until March 31st.  I LOVE this paper and will be so sorry to see it go.  
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sale-a-Bration Freebie

My card today is one that we made at Abbey’s workshop last week.  The card uses one of the stamps that you can get FREE during Sale-a-bration!!  It is the Triple Treat Flower stamp.  You can also purchase it in the Idea Book and Catalog but if you place a $50 order, the stamp can be yours for FREE.  I love the versatility of this stamp.  I stamped it twice using my Pacific Point stamp pad and Melon Mambo.  Then I used the Fancy Flower punch and punched out the Pacific Point flower.  I used the 5 Petal Flower punch for the inside Melon Mambo section.  Some dimensionals help to pop the flower up! I also added some dimension with my Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder and my Big Shot.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Ugly Black Exclamation Point

For those of you who visit my blog, I wanted to let you know that I am aware that instead of my cute signature, I now have a big black exclamation point.  I am looking into how to get rid of this.  🙁

Mixed Bunch

I hope you are having a fun weekend!  I had a chance to make several cards today and this was one of them.  It has been an extremely hectic week at school. I’ve been working on report cards non-stop for the past few weeks so it was nice to have some me time today.  I love this new Mixed Bunch stamp set and the new Blossom punch.  I was playing around with different colors and really like how the Concord Crush and Daffodil Delight look together.

More Occasions Mini New Products

Hi Friends,
Hope you are having a good weekend so far! Today’s project was made using the Hearts Framelits.  I cut out two of the largest hearts and attached them together around the edges using Sticky Strip but I left a small opening for a few pieces of chocolate. I used one more heart in Pirouette Pink and embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  The next sized heart was made with my Big Shot and the Scalloped Heart of Hearts embossilit die.  I stamped the heart in Real Red using the new stamp set Take It to Heart and cut it out by hand. Then I attached it with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

You can order Stampin’ Up! products 24/7 by visiting my SU! website! Did you know that you can choose one free product in the Sale-a-bration catalog for every $50 you spend?   This offer is good until March 31st!
