Hearts Framelits Die - Loven' them!

Once I saw this exclusive Stampin' Up! card design, I couldn't wait to share it with you! There are so many wonderful features in the new Mini Occasions, that I'm having a ball working my way through all of them :)  Let me highlight a few of the great pieces that are used in the pretty card above...

Twitterpated Designer Series Paper:  Love it!  I like the versatility of the colors and the patterns.  They are fresh and several of the patterns are feminine (perfect for spring, Valentine's and Mom's day).  Yet, there are also a few patterns that can be moved towards neutral or masculine designs which means a great bang for your buck!

3/8 Pleated Satin Ribbon:  I couldn't wait to get my hands on this beautiful ribbon and I was not disappointed.  The pleating and stitching are done beautifully and makes it LOOK like I have done a whole lot of work!  This ribbon is easy to work with, a cinch to cut and so pretty!  Another nice feature?  This ribbon has a lot going on (visually).  You don't need to over do it by having a lot on your card; a small length add so much personality and sass to the design :) And... it's available in 4 really terrific color choices.

Framelits Die - Hearts Collection:
I was so curious to try the new Framelits.  They look so thin and delicate, YET these girls have got some grit! 
The Framelits are a snap to use and the results are well... exciting!  I was excited and I mean I think I jumped up and down a time or two! *smile!* 

It was incredibly easy to make hearts that had heart cut-outs in the center. Die-cutting my photos were a cinch and the shape came out so crisply and perfect. ; no fuzzy edges here...  There are 6 different size hearts. The largest has the most detail with a scalloped edge (the other 5 are plain hearts).

Holiday Goodies & Gifts

The holiday season is the best time of the year for creating special handmade gifts and decorations. That's why we're offering a special stamping opportunity (at SEVERAL different dates and times) to create lots of goodies, gifts, gift packaging, Christmas tags and more!

We have broken "Goodies and Gifts" into TWO class options to best suit your needs and busy schedule. You're welcome to come to any of these sessions and just do 1 or both of these class options. Or, if you're taking another class during the times these classes are being offered, you can do both! Just tag one of these NEW gift giving class options on as an "Add On".

As always, Stamp Shoppe & Creative Tuesday offerings are a la carte so you do what YOU want to do! The sky is the limit as to what combinations of classes you can take. And if you "want it all" – you can come to all of the sessions to get it all in!

___________________________________________________________________

Goodies & Gifts Class A

Option A includes a Wine Bottle Tag and Bow, a Decorated Box & Tag and a Stocking Gift Card Holder (or use it for candy canes or any other small trinkets!). Here's a look at these projects:

Goodies & Gifts Class B

Option B includes a sweet 'punch art' Santa topping a 1×8 cello bag with a Twizzler (or add a pencil or any other item from home), a gift bag that holds a card right in the front of it (you'll make the card, too!) and a gift tag that pulls out and also serves as a bookmark!

          ___________________________________________________________

HOW MUCH is Goodies & Gifts? Each class option is $8 or FREE with a $15 Stampin' Up! Order placed during the class.

WHAT do I need to bring to Goodies & Gifts? Stampin' Up! Brand SNAIL Adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals – all other supplies are provided! If you don't have either of these items, let me know when you register and we can get them ordered for you so that you have them for the next session you attend.

Happy Birthday in Soft Suede

I'm loving today's Idea of the Day! The neutrals are clean and crisp and the Designer Paper is lovely with the paisley print.  I discovered a few hints when making the card so you'll be able to pull it off in a snap. See the helpful hint picture below! You can make your ruffled fold as 'dense' or 'spread apart' as you'd like, but I used a 12" x 1-1/4" piece of Designer Paper (it was actually a scrap piece of paper) and I liked the results. 

Here's your Supply List:

• Card Stock: River Rock (for the base of the card), Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz & Very Vanilla
• Designer Series Paper: Spice Cake
• Ink: Versamark
• Punches: Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border
• Sassy Accessories: Antique Brads (love these!), Sticky Strip, SNAIL adhesive and a Mat Pack to make putting the brad in super easy!

To order any of the supplies for today's birthday card, click here to visit my online store!

This is the super Sassy Spice Cake Designer Paper. 
It's only available through 12/31/2011

Simply Said... Merry Christmas

Today's Idea of the Day is taken straight from the November Stamp Shoppe cards! 

Simple, classy and absolutely beautiful... There are a few things going on in the design, yet completely compliment one another.  When seeing this card in person, you can't help but want to take a moment to touch all of the textures!

You can make this card along with 5 other 'holiday inspired' designs this weekend at Stamp Shoppe.
Click here for a sneak peek at all of the designs & addt'l Shoppe info. 

Supply List for Today's Idea of the Day Card:
Card Stock: Very Vanilla
Stamp Sets: Easy Events & Hand Penned Holidays
Ink: Jet Black Stazon Ink
Stampin' Write Markers: Old Olive & Real Red
Sassy Accessories: Big Shot, Snow Burst Embossing Folder, Basic Pearls & Very Vanilla Velvet Ribbon

Creative Note:  The Velvet Ribbon is incredible.  The texture is perfect and the ribbon ties beautifully; it isn't bulky or cumbersome.

Design Tip:  If you need to adhere the velvet ribbon to a card or project, I recommend using a mini glue dot or sticky strip.  The ribbon has just enough fibers on the back that the SNAIL adhesive just isn't quite strong enough.  The other two options will work better for you.

To order any of the above items, please visit my online store by clicking right here!

You Inspire Me...

Today's Idea of the Day is a card that I made for my Mom using some of my fav fall pieces from the Holiday Mini.  I'm crazy for the Spice Cake Designer Paper.  The colors are out of this world! Crisp, fresh and rather unpredictable.  I may never have chosen to pair So Saffron, Soft Suede and Pool Party - but it works and works beautifully.

Supply List:
Card Stock: So Saffron, Pool Party & Whisper White
Designer Paper: Spice Cake
Ink: Classic Soft Suede, So Saffron & More Mustard
Stamp Sets: Gently Falling & Perfect Words (*Exclusive Hostess Benefit)
Punches: Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border & Modern Label
Addt'l Tidbits: Basic Rhinestones, SNAIL Adhesive & Dimensionals

A Sunny Thank You

This card was fun to make - plain and simple...  The combo of the playful font, the colorful Calypso Coral ribbon and the polka dots just made this plain 'ole fun!!

Measuring 5x5 this little ditty is a wonderful handful of bliss and features two big, bold background stamps; Sunflower & Distressed Dots.

A quick stamping tip?  When layering stamp over stamp as I did with the polka dots over the sunflower, it's a good idea to stamp with the lighter color first and then go darker. 

Click here for another look at layer stamping with the Friends 24-7 bird

Supply List:
Stamps: Sunflower (#123606) & Distressed Dots (#122815) - both of these only come in wood mount & Perfectly Penned, see below...

             

Ink: Classic Calypso Coral & Chocolate Chip

Card Stock: Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral & Chocolate Chip

Make Something that Means Something!

This beautiful ad is featured in Woman's Day Magazine and absolutely sums up my thoughts!

Let's make a date to get together and create one of a kind pieces to infuse joy and fun into your holidays celebrations. 

Featured above from Stampin' Up!: Wood and Clear mount stamps, Ink, Early Espresso Quilted Ribbon, Dear Sants Stamp Set and the NEW Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die for the Big Shot!

KISS Card: Pennant Parade!

It's a long holiday weekend and time for a quick KISS card. KISS = Keep It Simple, Sister! The general idea is to have a card that only needs a few key components to make. 

This little sweetie is no exception.  The colors can easily be changed and the little Itty Bitty Flower near the pennents removed for a more manly man approach. 

There are a ba-gillion ways to add additional layers or bring the card up a notch or two.  But we're talking about KISS!

Here's your supply list;
Card Stock: Melon Mambo for the base.  Grab your scrap bin for pieces of Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Wisteria Wonder & Pumpkin Pie.
Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Daffodil Delight & White.  Uniball Signo Gel Pen
Stamps: Pennant Parade & Petite Pairs
Punches: (I use these two over & over again.  Both are great investment pieces to have!) Petitie Pennants Builder & Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.
Extras: Uniball Signo Gel Pen (for centers on the flower & to draw the line for pennants "hang" on)

DESIGN NOTE or SAVVY SAVINGS TIP (I couldn't decide!):  The Pennant Parade Stamp set  & punch are terrific examples for using pieces in a variety of different ways.  Look at the Daffodil Delight Pennants.  Turn them upside down and stamp them in green ink for a Christmas Tree!  The Wisteria Wonder Pennant shows a stamp that could be used as an ice cream cone.  The Pennant Punch will take care of cuttin gout the shapes with great ease! Ta-daa!  You've got a stamp set that works for celebrations, summertime and holiday. 

To order any of these products, visit my online store today for delivery right to your doorstep!

There's new stuff on the Clearance Rack.  Supplies are very limited - hurry!

First Edition Designer Paper Meets Halloween!

LAYERING is hot, hot, hot in the paper crafting corner of the world.  I'd like to feature two Halloween cards.  Both are Stampin' Up! exclusive designs and share two common denominators... A Halloween theme and First Edition Designer Series Paper.  Check it out!

Card #1 on the left features the Bingo Card and Spooky Bingo Bits Stamp Sets.  The sweet little bingo bit images can easily be cut out using Stampin' Up!'s paper snips.  Notice the small visual break in the card -or- the First Edition Designer Series Paper.  Fun!
Card #2 on the right offers a festive color combo showing off some serious eye candy!!  The paper yoyo in the center can be easily made using the new Stampin' Up! Simply Scored.  The First Edition Designer Paper is a suble background that can be used in a variety of ways... I think that the little 'ole paper yoyo pops so much because the First Edition DSP does its job & gently fades to the back giving props to the main feature!

Now let me tell you a bit more about the First Edition Print Paper.  Wowza - what a value!  24 sheets per pack (double what's usually in our Designer Paper packs) makes this one heck of a great investment. Here's a glimpse at the patterns of the paper....

To order any of the products featured in this post, visit my online webstore today! Remember, orders over $150 means that you'll receive atleast $25 in hostess dollars to be spent on anything that you wany - anything!
