Sale-A-Bration Bliss

 I love using materials that can go the extra mile for you… I’d like to introduce you to ‘Bliss’ one of the exclusive Sale-A-Bration stamp sets that will be available though March 31st only. 

I wanted to feature these cards for the versatility of the sets but also because we’ll be several of the embellishments in the upcoming February Stamp Shoppe. 

* I get all ‘jazzed up’ when you can see time & again some of the same products in different ways so that you can see how to use these wonderful pieces!*

Take a look at how the ‘Bliss’ set goes from black and white vintage to bright spring sweetness – simply delightful!

I'll be displaying a supply list for you shortly!  :)

Birthdays... Bring it on!

What a fun treat!  Here is an exclusive Stampin' Up! card that features a nice mix of simple fun with an unexpected twist.  Who would have thought that vintage 'First Edition' Designer Series Paper would be right at home next to subtle hearts and a cute cupcake? 
Depending on the fella, this card works nicely for a masculine birthday card (even if we take of a heart or two!)

'Filled with Love' Bundle Ideas - Round 2

Here are two additional cards done by featured guest stamper and my sweet friend, Kriss Huels

Kriss uses the Filled with Love Bundle set (the bundle includes the Filled with Love Stamp Set, Love Patterns Designer Series Paper and FREE Bitty Buttons) along with Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon and cardstock to make this darling valentine. 

The last Filled with Love card has a few more elements that keep the card simple yet interesting.  Using the Scallop Edge Border Punch (119882) and layering the Pretty in Pink and Old Olive card stock is the perfect little extra touch.  Lastly, Kriss added a pewter Jumbo Eyelet (108432) using her Crop-A-Dile (108362) to give the illusion of a sweet and simple tag for your Valentine!

Bring on the (Valentine's) Bling!

To order online 24/7 Click Here

We've gotta talk... I'm *crazy*  about the Red Glimmer Paper (121790) that's available.  This pretty paper is rather thick (not flimsy in the least), punches beautifully and is a serious value. (2) 12x12 sheets for only $3.95.  The Glimmer Paper adds the perfect little extra 'kiss' to make your project POP!  I made Valentine's cards for my sweet downline team today and was so pleased with this paper.  I grabbed my small heart punch (117193 & it's only $5.95) and punched out those little pretties in a jiffy.  This is on my 'GOTTA HAVE' list, for sure. 

We'll be using the Glimmer Paper at the January Stamp Shoppe - be there or be square! Email me today (or by 1/20) so I can prep the supplies for you.
