Love is in the Air

This card uses the beautiful new Bloomin' Love stamp set from the Occasions Catalog.

 

Valentine's Day is around the corner and this sweet card is perfect for the occasion.  We will be making it at the Make & Take Class this Saturday and I would love to have you join us!  The little banner can be cut out by hand, or treat yourself to the fabulous Large Number framelits dies to die-cut it.

Supply List

Stamps: Bloomin' Love, Gorgeous Grunge

Paper: Whisper White and Pink Pirouette cardstock

Ink Pads: Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, Versamark (for embossing) with Gold Embossing Powder

Other: Metallic Sequins Assortment, multi-purpose glue, gold cord (retired), Large Numbers Framelits dies

Here is another version of the card, but the words are embossed rather than the heart.

For the following card, I used the Sweetheart Punch to punch hearts out of the new Love Blossoms DSP stack.  The greeting and banner also come from the Bloomin' Love stamp set.

The following card also has hearts punched out from the Love Blossoms paper, but I used the Itty Bitty Heart punch instead.  The tree image comes from the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set; the words come from And Many More greeting set.

I used the January Paper Pumpkin kit to make a banner for my fireplace and some other decorations to hang from my chandelier.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sale-A-Bration 2016!

Cel-e-brate good times, come on!  That Lionel Richie song has been running through my head over and over for the past few weeks as I've been gearing up for Stampin' Up's most exciting time of the year--Sale-A-Bration!  Everyone can earn exclusive free products with every $50 they spend between January 5 and March 31.  If you haven't seen the free products yet, check out the catalog HERE.  Demonstrators had the opportunity to earn sale-a-bration items a month early, so I've been spending, earning, and playing with my new stuff!

The first set I played with was the Sky is the Limit set.

I would like to take credit for designing some awesome cards with this set, but I really just copied the creative cards made by my team leaders, Michelle Suit and Robin Merriman.  I am always in need of more masculine cards, so this set is a perfect fit!  I love how these cards turned out.

Thank you, Robin, for the design.

Thank you, Michelle, for the design.

Robin also designed this one, what a cool fold!

I'm having a Sale-A-Bration open house on January 16th from 3-6 where I will have many more samples to show using multiple items from the SAB catalog.  Stop by to look at the products and make some cards.  You can make as few or as many as you want.  Your first card is free, additional cards are $2 each. There will be at least four designs to choose from.  I hope you can come celebrate with me! :)

One last thing, these are the projects we made at our Monthly Make & Take Class in January:

Card and envelope holder

It was so fun to see friends that I haven't seen in a long time.  I love that stamping brings me together with friends, both old and new, and we get to make cool stuff rather than just go to a movie.  It's fabulous!
