This time I scrunched up the doilie and then hot glued the dyed flower trim with Pool party ink refills and rubbing alcohol. Love, love love, these two colors together.
These are new products released in the Spring catalog on page 5. Of course the small butterfly and the Sycamore Street DSP is from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. You know the deal on that…..For every $50 you spend in product you get to select a free item from the SAB catalog. The small butterfly punch and DSP are two of the items that could be yours FREE. I made this card for our Downline/Sideline shoe box. Lots of fun!
I cased this lovely little chocolate box from another demo, Martha Lucia Gomez on Stampin’ Connection. She used a little wooden clothespin and I used the Crumb cake taffeta ribbon for closure. Thank you Martha for the great video (even though it was in Spanish) that inspired me. It fits perfectly, three (3) Chocolate Nuggets if you stand them on on ends, side by side. Really awesome teacher gift for Valentine’s day.
This is one of our current specials that SU is promoting. Isn’t it just super fantastic! I love the colors of this DSP and I wanted to show you several of them at once so I did the half and half cards for you to get any idea of what is included in this bundle. All of these products, stamps and DSP will be available until April 30th. However, if you order the Bundle, you will not only save 20% but you will get the calypso Coral Bakers twine too! I used the SAB ribbon on both of these cards and that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase. Ask me about how to get this!
This is such a wonderful set. The DSP paper for the background you can find in the new Spring catalog on page 16 called Print Poetry. It comes in a pack of 48 double sided sheets with a variety of great prints (4 of each). Sized at 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ they are perfect for card fronts.
This DSP Sycamore Street is so colorful. Lots of selections to create with. AND it’s FREE with your $50 purchase during February until Mar 22, 2013.
Okay this is just another stamp from the set Bloomin Marvelous, Sale-A-Bration. This is probably the most versatile set that SU had designed in a while. I have already made over 12 cards with just his one set. I love a set that contains both images and sentiments, don’t you?
This is the time of year that Stampin’Up!™ Demonstrators live for. I might add so do their customers. We will be salebrating through March 22nd of this year!
If you want to get the products that are used on this card FREE, you can now, during Sale-A-Bration. Purchase $50 in merchandise and select the stamp set, or Designer Series Paper FREE. Spend $100 and get them both FREE. Just click here and go to Shop now!
Do you have your cards and goodie gifts made yet?
I just love this paper it is so bold and so bright. Can’t get enough of it!
I used the cracked glass technique in on this card.
The stamps used on this card are free during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 purchase.
I love that SU has categorized all of our sets and DSPs as Suites. They have the best Artists and I keep wondering how everything they showcase is a WINNER! This new catalog is loaded with beautiful suites.
So much you can do with this set and it even has the little matching sizzlet die (not used here). I masked this little guy to fit in with the waves.
This is way too AWESOME!
This is going to be so much fun. SU has reserved the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter exclusive just for us on Thursday evening. That is one of the perks of being a demonstrator, we get to go on all the rides & attractions without all the wait, etc. OMG how special is that?
If you thought about being a demonstrator and doing what I love to do, just click on the Join the Fun tab HERE!
Will post my Leadership swaps in the next couple of days.
I have used the new Doily tape found on pg 3 of the Spring catalog. It is so cool, it has adhesive on it and you just cut what size you need. Simple as that. The other doilies on this card are found on pg 5 and what a bargain they are @24 for $2.95. I also used some items from the Artisan Embellishments kit on pg 10. That has to be my favorite so far!
This “From my Heart” stamp set is so awesome! AND I love the new ribon in the Spring catalog on page 13.
These two cards are made with a stamp set from SAB and the second one also has some ribbon from available during SAB. Couldn’t resist throwing these in early.
This single Happy Heart stamp is available for $5.95 and includes 1″x8″ cellophane bags to hold neat little treats for that special Valentine. Watch for upcoming tutorial.
I dyed these little flowers with Primrose Petals ink refill and rubbing alcohol. You can purchase thes new little roses in the Spring catalog pg 5.
You can start ordering all these beautiful embellishments and stamps from this catalog today.
This embossing folder you can get free when SAB starts…
If you don’t have a new catalog or Sale-A-Bration catalog and want one, contact me here.
Although I do have many favorites from this new catty. I used Crystal Effects on the umbrella to give it that wet look.
This card was made with items from it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
HOPE YOUR CHRISTMAS IS ONE TO REMEMBER.
We will go to Mass this evening as we do every year and then come home to an incredible traditional feast that I have been enjoying since I was a child. A typical Italian Christmas Eve ‘meatless’ dinner with buccala (cod fish cakes), aleche’ (Spaghetti with Anchovies), Luna Pizza (no red sauce) with fresh mozzarella & Fontina cheeses.
Of course, this has been scaled down from years past, when we also had smelt, snails and Octopus. In fact, I remember one year when I was little, at my Grandpa’s house, live snails that had gotten loose and were crawling up the cellar wall, which my Grandpa had to gather up for preparation of Christmas Eve dinner in a hurry. Grandpa & Grandma were both from Italy. He was from Naples and my Grandma was from a little town outside of Naples called Availlino. They brought this Italian tradition with them to America.
I always have such fond memories of growing up in an Italian environment, neither could speak a word of English, which was okay then because while we lived with them we spoke both Italian and English. The shame of it is, when my Mom and Dad both their own home and we moved out, I forgot almost all of my Italian. The saying “if you don’t use it, you loose it”, is so true.
I am going to be sorry to see the festival of Prints disappear, I love working with them.
