Today’s card was made using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (on sale this month), the Country Flowers stamp set, Unbounded Love Dies and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of a piece of Highland Heather cardstock. Before gluing it to the front of the card, I cut four pieces of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and glued them to the front of the Highland Heather cardstock. Next, I adhered the entire piece to the front of the card.
I stamped my sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the Country Flowers stamp set. Then, I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White to the inside of the card and then added five Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the front of the card. This is a very quick and easy card to make! You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today I’m sharing a card I made for my recent Kindest Expressions Card Sampler. I made the card using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Kindest Expressions stamp set, Deckled Circles Dies and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card.Then I added a piece of Perennial Lavender DSP (floral design) to another piece of Perennial Lavender DSP (purple design). Before adhering it to the front of the card, I cut another piece of Perennial Lavender (purple design) and adhered it to the middle and then adhered the entire piece to the front.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set, Kindest Expressions. I cut it out using the Deckled Circles Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock using the same dies. I layered the sentiment to the Gorgeous Grape, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

Mystery Boxes
What’s a Mystery Box?
A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give to a new home. I’ve been a demonstrator for almost 15 years so you can just imagine how much I have! I have Medium Rate Flat Rate USPS shipping boxes stuffed with retired Stampin’ Up! product.The boxes contain stamps, dies, ribbon, embellishments and more! The boxes are already sealed and every box will be different and a mystery as to what’s inside! The value of each box is well over $200.
All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”. Some of the stamp sets are wood mount.
You can place an order HERE.

Today I’m sharing a card that I made using Stampin’ Up! Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (an online exclusive product), the Blueberry Bunches stamp set, Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder (another online exclusive product), Nested Essentials Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Highland Heather cardstock and Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the front of the card. Next, I added another layer of Highland Heather cardstock and a different design of Flowering Zinnias DSP.
I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut a banner out of Highland Heather cardstock and a smaller one out of Basic White cardstock. I embossed the Basic White banner using the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I layered the two banners together and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Highland Heather ink using the stamp set, Blueberry Bunches. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut another larger circle out of Highland Heather cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the Highland Heather circle and then on the back I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and adhered it to the banner.
To complete my card, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the front of the card.

I haven’t posted since last week because I’ve been ill and didn’t want to do much of anything. I’m finally feeling much better.
Today’s card was made using the Perennial Postage Bundle, Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper, Paper Butterfly Accents and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (these gems are currently not available but are expected to be back in stock the week of March 11).
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut two pieces of Highland Heather cardstock and two different designs of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and adhered them together before adding them to the front of my card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set Perennial Postage. I cut the sentiment out using the Perennial Postage Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used a Blending Brush to brush Highland Heather ink over the front of the Paper Accents Butterfly. I then added Multipurpose Glue to the back and adhered it to the sentiment. To complete my card, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the sentiment.

Here are the products you can choose from with a $50 purchase (click the images for more information about each product).
Here are the products you can choose from with a $100 purchase.
Ten Days Left to Purchase the Starter Kit with Two Options!
The best time to purchase the Starter Kit is during Sale-A-Bration!! The Starter Kit is $99 and you’ll receive $125 in Stampin’ Up! product (shipping is always free when you purchase the Starter Kit)! The Starter Kit is truly for anyone! It’s for the person who wants to receive a 20% (to start) discount when they buy their Stampin’ Up! products. It’s also for the business minded person. There’s no risk in purchasing the Starter Kit, only perks and you get to choose what you want to add to your Starter Kit. But wait, there’s more!
When I purchased the Starter Kit in 2009, I bought it just so I could get the discount. In 2009 you didn’t have the freedom to choose the products you wanted, it came with set products. I love that Stampin’ Up! gives you the chance to now customize your kit so that you pick the products you love and know you will use. For more information about the Starter Kit, you can take a look here for some frequently asked questions. You are also welcome to email me with any questions (click EMAIL ME on the sidebar).
You have two options during Sale-a-Bration:
Option 1: Choose the Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio (Retail Value $60). If you choose this option, Stampin’ Up! will send this to you, absolutely FREE!
Demonstrators were able to purchase the Glass Mat before Sale-a-Bration began and before I got it, I’d never used a glass mat. Well, it’s awesome! It’s a product that I never knew I wanted!
The heavy-duty glass mat comes printed with a ruler and grid lines for easy measuring, while the large surface space gives ample room for spreading out while paper crafting. The safety-tempered glass has a heat and scratch resistant surface that wipes clean with the included cloth and water—no chemicals needed. The reusable cloth also cleans ink off your stamps! The nonslip, heat resistant, waterproof silicone mat features four palette squares for mixing custom ink colors or for holding small ink spots in place while crafting. Each component can be used separately or you can use all three items together for a multipurpose paper crafting studio that’s both functional and elegant.
Option 2: Your choice of an additional $30 in FREE products to add to your Starter Kit!
