This is another card that I photographed in the sun but I think you got the picture, right? It is from the stamp set Language of Love found on page 25 of the mini and the DSP I used is from the In-Colors DSP Stack found on page 141 of the big catalog.  We made this at last night hostess club.

This stamp is a single stamp found on page 20 of the Occasions mini called “Blessed Easter”.  However, I opted to use just the flowers and mask out the sentiment on this card.  Easy to do.  If you want to learn techniques like this you can contact me HERE.  I also used the Banner Framelits found on page 27.

This is another card we made at one of my hostess clubs.  It is made with the presents from the Holiday catalog but instead of using Christmas colors I used it as a birthday card.  The DSP is called Birthday Basics and can be found in the Big catalog.

This is a fun way to create a card in a matter of minutes using our punches.  The stamp set can be found in the Big catalog on page 85 called Polka Dot Pieces.  I used both our red and silver glimmer paper and the Thinlits Label Card #133479.  The embossing folder is called Pretty Print.

I must apologize for the beautiful sun coming in the window in my craft room this morning and ruining my sample picture.  Although, I love the sun and is the main reason I moved South.  I wanted to live in a place where the sun shines every day.  We chose to live in Mount Pleasant, SC and have never regretted moving here.
I created this card with the embossing Folder, Arrows Textured Impressions, found on page 26 of the new mini, and I used the DSP Fresh Prints on page 33.  The stamps and the framelits you can find on page 18 and can be purchased as a bundle saving you 15% when you buy them together.

06. October 2013 · Comments Off on Christmas Tagables! · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , , ,

Hey all, Sarah Webb here! I have been a product designer at Stampin’ Up! for a little over six months, now.  When I started working here back in March, my first assignments were for the annual catalog 2014.

Although it was really exciting to jump right in and start working on such great projects, it was hard to try and explain to my friends and family what I was actually doing at my new job because I can’t give specifics about my assignments until the catalog releases. Bummer, huh?

That is why I am really excited to share this post today! For the first time in six months, I get to show people something that I have designed at work! Yippee! With that said, I give you the Pop and Place Holiday Punch Book and Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set!

As a designer, you don’t usually get a chance to see a project from the very beginning all the way to the end. Ordinarily, ideas are developed and the kinks are worked out before it is passed off to us to make it look good. Which is why it was really cool to be part of this team and help with the decisions to make something awesome. Each time the team met, new ideas were brought to the table to make the book better and better.

We added pockets to the front and back cover, so that if you pull a piece out and decide not to use it, you will have somewhere to store it.

We added perforation lines between some of the shapes and extended the design to the whole page so that if you are feeling creative, you can use the negative space as well as the tags themselves.

Finally, we decided that a book full of tags needed a stamp set to go with it, so I was able to work on a stamp set designed specifically to coordinate with the punch book.

Yesterday, I spent some time stampin’ away to make some fun gifts and tags. It got me really excited for Christmas and even more excited to make all of my presents cute this year! 82 more days!

These are some of the cards that were created for our Downline/ Sideline Shoe box Swap this past weekend.  These cards were created by Patty Biggerstaff, Maureen Leeper and Chelle Naron.   So much talent!  Don’t you just love them?  There were several others that I will post another day.  It was a pot luck and the food was outstanding.  Not only can these ladies create works of art but they can cook too!  Patty Biggerstaff offered her house to hold this event with 15 ladies all taking part in the swap.

It is such awesome fun to get together, stamp and share ideas with a bunch of ladies who all love what we do. If this sounds like the perfect job, believe me, it is.  You can join my team and start your own business.  Contact me here to learn more.

I love this little cardinal from the Hostess set “Warmth and Wonder” in the Holiday catalog.  These ornaments are made from the framelits released last Christmas.  I covered them with washi tape.  You can do so much with that tape.  I love, love, love it!  Our Holiday catalog has both Halloween/Fall and Christmas Washi Tape.  Call me you get yours.

I used the stamp set Wetlands again to create this card.  I took a class in Savannah a couple of years ago with the famous Michelle Zindorf for brayering and now I hardly ever use my brayer.  So, I thought it was time to get it out.  I love this technique and should use it more often.

I used the Expressions Thinlits to make this card.  You can find them on page 36 of the Holiday catalog.  This set has three different sentiments.  A little tip on how to use these: Place the cutting plate on the magnetic platform (or tab 2 of the regular platform) and then add your card stock or paper.  Add two (2) pieces of wax paper and then the thinlit.  Cover with the cutting pad and run through the machine.  Easy peasy!  If you do have a problem removing the fine little letters you can use your paper piercer through the little holes in the thinlit.  If you need more information contact me HERE.
