On Vacay

            I'll be back soon with card ideas from the new Occasions & Sale-a-Bration mini catalogs.                            Until then . . . have a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

SAB Sneak Peek

Sale-a-Bration is coming in January!  I already have some cute, new things from the SAB mini catalog and just have to share.  This was made with the new set "Best Day Ever" and coordinating Best Year Ever DSP and Accessory Pack.  These can all be earned (but not purchased) by spending $50 (before shipping & tax) on regular merchandise in the big catalog and/or Occasions Mini (coming soon).

Banner Blessings

Here's another card using "Banner Blessings" that is now available to purchase.  This set contains four different word sets and is so cute!  I stamped the words in Night of Navy and the splatters from Gorgeous Grunge in Crushed Curry.  I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, pulled a Hello Honey ribbon through the slot, and tied a knot on the side.  The background paper is from the Flowerpot DSP Collection.

Is it too early?

I know this might look a little "valentiney" but it could also be used as a wedding card.  I wanted to make a card that didn't say "merry" or "thanks" like the other ones I've made from "Seasonally Scattered" before it retires at the end of the month.   I stamped "LOVE" in Strawberry Slush on Whisper White and adhered it on the inside of the card.  I used a Strawberry Slush card base and cut a window using a framelit from Apothecary Accents.  Then, I tied a piece of Strawberry Slush Thick Baker's Twine through the window and around the card.  I made a 1 1/4" Scallop Circle, punched a little heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack in the middle, and tied that around the other twine.  The background was made using the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. 

2015 is Just Around the Corner

Last night I was able to attend my second catalog premiere along with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators in the Phoenix area!  We were in a movie theater and watched a live broadcast as SU staff revealed the Occasions Mini and the Sale-a-Bration Catalogs along with many new samples and projects.  It was so fun cheering with the audience each time they introduced something new.  It was broadcast in about 40 theaters across the US and Canada and here's a picture of the movie screen (the only picture that turned out).  I will be posting new card ideas soon from these catalogs--so stay tuned!
