A couple of weeks ago I hosted a stamping class in the compound. I wanted to see if there was enough interest to start teaching regular classes in the fall. There seems to be a fair bit of interest, so now the only trick is how to get enough supplies into Saudi. We're coming back to the US for a visit this summer, so I imagine I'll have a suitcase full of stamping supplies on the way back. :-) <br />
<br />
Anyway, this is the card we made at the class. Since the majority of the ladies had never stamped before, I wanted to do something pretty simple. This card basically consists of stamping and then punching (the flower and sentiment) and the using an embossing folder through the Big Shot. Almost everyone was pleasantly surprised at how easy the card was to make, and they agreed that tying the knot was the hardest part of the card! <br />

Hi everyone! I thought I would pop in, let you know what I've been up to, share one of the few cards I've stamped in the last 10 months, and offer some <b>free product</b>! (Ok, and see if anyone still follows this blog, lol) <br />
<br />
First I'll let you know where I've been. . . or rather where I am. . . in <b>Jubail, Saudi Arabia</b>! Crazy, huh? Our family relocated here with my husband's job last October (2013) and we plan on being here for a few more years. It's been an interesting experience with ups and downs, although overall we are enjoying our time here and the opportunities that come with expat life. I am adjusting to not driving and wearing an abaya, among other things. If you are curious to learn more about our adventures in Saudi, you can check out my <a href="http://windingmywaythroughlife.blogspot.com/">Winding My Way blog</a>. <br />
<br />
Now back to stamping! I needed a wedding card, so I pulled out my stamping supplies and went to work. It had been a long time since I had created anything, so I kept it pretty simple. :-) <br />
<br />
I used the <b>Dress Up framelits</b> for the dress as well as the dress layers. The texture for the dress comes from the <b>Lacy Brocade embossing folder</b>. I used the <b>Ovals Collection framelits</b> and coordinating <b>Occasions paper-piercing pack</b> for the <b>Smoky Slate </b>oval layer. The sentiment is from the <b>Curly Cute </b>stamp set. I made up a few cards to have on hand just playing around with different colors of ribbons and accessories. <br />
<br />

<br />
Even though I am so far away, I will still be stamping! It's taken me a little while to feel settled here, but I have committed to teaching stamping classes in my compound here starting this September. (Of course it didn't help that 3 months after moving here we moved<b> again</b> to a different compound in the same city.) So although I don't plan to post more than occasionally over the summer, I'll be back to regular stamping this fall. :-) <br />
<br />
In the meantime, since there is a <a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/2014-2015/NA/20140602_AnnualCatalog_en-US.pdf">new catalog</a> to celebrate (yay!) I thought it would be fun to give away some <b>free product</b>. To be entered into the drawing: <br />
<br />
1. L<b>eave a comment on this post no later than June 29th, 2014</b>. <br />
2. If you'd like to be entered a second time, you can <b>leave a comment on any post over at my </b><a href="http://windingmywaythroughlife.blogspot.com/" style="font-weight: bold;">Winding My Way blog</a><b>, </b>also no later than June 29th, 2014. <br />
<br />
I'll randomly choose a comment on June 30th and the winner will receive a <b>$40 Stampin Up shopping spree </b>(US addresses only please, I'll pay the tax and shipping too). I will contact the winner on June 30th and they will have 48 hours to claim their prize.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day everyone!<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi all! Sorry for the long absence. . . there's a big move on the horizon for our family, so between that and spending a good part of the summer visiting family I haven't been stamping much. :-) I'll post later more about all that, but for now on to this month's Stampin' Celebration challenge! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is an exciting month over at Stampin' Celebration since we have some new stampers who have been selected to join our Design Team! So make sure to head over to the blog to see who's joined us. There's lots of talent as well as great inspiration this month. :-) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's been a while since I stamped anything, so I thought I'd go simple. :-) I loved the bold colors and simple style of these photos. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used my Pear Pizzazz and Coastal Cabana markers to ink up the flower image from the <b>Morning Meadow</b> (hostess) set. (Side note: I just love the hostess sets in the current catalog!) Although the picture doesn't really show it, I added <b>Crystal Effects</b> on just the flowers for a little dimension and shine. The <b>rhinestones</b> add even more bling. :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To get the little 'notch' in the Basic Gray layer, I used the edge of one of the<b> framelits</b> from the <b>Apothecary Accents </b>set: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I ran it through the Big Shot twice--once on each end. The card below uses the colors Calypso Coral and (again) Pear Pizzazz. I enjoy making sets of cards that I can give as gifts. . . fairly simple and easy to change the colors up. I'll make a few more of each of these, a couple in Wisteria Wonder, and I'll have a gift ready to go. :-) </span><br />

If you haven't seen it yet, go take a peek. . . I used the new <b>Mosaic Madness</b> stamp set with the coordinating punch and <b>Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder</b>. I did hand-cut the smaller gray images. The Daffodil Delight seam binding ribbon is tied off with a little White baker's twine, and I also added a few rhinestones for a little bling. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm running a little late this month, but I definitely couldn't miss out on playing along this month with the Stampin' Celebration challenge! What fun colors!</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm always in need of tween birthday cards for my nieces, and with these colors I thought that would be the perfect combo. I'm not sure if I ended up hitting the 'tween' age (maybe a bit younger?) but I have younger nieces too. :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I also wanted to pull out and use some of the stamp sets that will soon be discontinued. All 3 of the sets I used. . . <strong>Mouthwatering</strong>, <strong>Distressed Dots</strong> (background stamp), and <strong>Made for You</strong> (sentiment). . . will no longer be available after June 3rd. And, Pretty in Pink is one of the colors we are losing in the <strong><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/us/documents/Color_Refresh_flyer_NA.pdf">Color Refresh</a></strong>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">To see the retiring stamps click <a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/lastChance/2013%20NA%20Retired%20List/Retired_List_stamps_en-US.pdf">HERE</a>, for the accessories click <a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/lastChance/2013%20NA%20Retired%20List/Availability_en-US.pdf">HERE</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This card is pretty straight forward, I just inked with a marker and stamped the top of the ice cream cone 4 times, hand cut, and then layered. For the background stamp I inked it up, stamped off once, and then stamped on the card base. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now it's your turn to play along with us at Stampin' Celebration.
And also remember to take a look at what the other design team members created!

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi all! There's a new sketch challenge over at </span><a href="http://stampincelebrationblog.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Stampin' Celebration</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> . . in case you need a break from thinking about taxes. :-) You'll notice I did kind of rotate the middle of the sketch a little, but I loved this sketch. I also used this same card for one of our club meeting projects, and the ladies were pleasantly surprised at how easy this card was to put together. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A few hints. . . . I used my brayer to easily add the Pretty in Pink ink to the <strong>Paper Doilie</strong>. To color the flower, (one flower cut from the <strong>5/8" Flower Trim</strong>) I dipped it into a mixture of about 5 drops of Rich Razzleberry reinker mixed with a little water. Then pull it out and let it dry on some paper towels. The splatter on the large Whisper White layer was made using the <strong>Color Spritzer Tool</strong>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The <strong>Secret Garden</strong> stamp set and coordinating framelits, flower, doilie, large Rhinestone Jewels are all found in the </span><a href="http://stampincelebrationblog.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Spring Catalog</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi all! Happy Spring and Happy April 1st. :-) It's time for another Stampin' Celebration challenge! This month I had fun creating a 3D project. I starting by using the picnic basket as my inspiration and then incorporated the flowers/basket as I went along. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This basket started as just a plain white one that was meant to be embellished--it had been sitting on the desk in my craft room for quite a while and was just begging to be used. I used some typing paper to trace one side of the basket and then used that as a guide to cut out pieces from Gumball Green card stock. I did each side separately, so I cut out 4 pieces. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Before I adhered the green pieces to the basket, I created the Early Espresso lattice-looking lines. I created the lattice by first scoring (at 3/4" increments) in both directions, then folding along each score line. While one line was folded, I ran the line through a Versamark ink pad. After unfolding, I heat embossed with <strong>Early Espresso Stampin' Emboss Powder.</strong></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The flowers were created using the <strong>Floral Frames framelits</strong> and <strong>Boho Blossom punch</strong>. I wrapped the plastic handle with <strong>Daffodil Delight Seam Binding ribbon</strong> and then added the <strong>Early Espresso Taffeta ribbon</strong> over the top. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">To get the grass and flowers to 'stand up' instead of just flopping around, I cut a piece of card stock and then took an exacto knife and cut little, random slits. Then I just poked the grass through the slits. The 'platform' that is holding the grass is just set into the basket--it isn't actually attached to anything. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Anyway, hope you enjoyed this project! And, I hope you'll be inspired to play along with us at Stampin' Celebration. And also remember to take a look at what the other design team members created!

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here in Houston, this week is spring break! And it has been an absolutely beautiful spring break with perfect weather, not too hot (yet!) and not too cold. I think this card is a reflection of that 'spring' feeling. :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I used the Mid-monspiration sketch and created this card using the <strong>Secret Garden</strong> stamp set and coordinating <strong>framelits</strong>. I used <strong>Finishing Touches Edgelits</strong> to get the border along the edge of the Summer Starfruit layer, and added some of the <strong>large rhinestone jewels</strong> to the center of the flowers. I stamped the Primrose Petals card base with Versamark ink and the (discontinued) Sanded background stamp. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love butterflies, so that picture caught my eye immediately. :-) I also like the variety and combination of what I would call 'bold pastel' colors, so I tried to incorporate those as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I used the <strong>Elegant Butterfly punch</strong> and the new <strong>Bitty Butterfly punch</strong> (from the </span><a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2013_Spring_g8erkd/20130103_SpringCatalog_en-US.pdf"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sping Catalog</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">). Some have a layer of vellum over the top, some have rhinestones, down the middle, and some are covered with Dazzling Diamonds glitter (using Mulitpurpose Adhesive Sheets). Most are stamped with the <strong>Papillon Potpourri</strong> stamp (using Versamark) and a couple are pieces of Designer Paper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The background was made using the <strong>Fancy Fan Folder Embossing Die</strong>, and Perfect Plum 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon is tied around. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wow, this month is flying by! I've been keeping busy stamping lots of Valentines--for my kids' school classes, cousins, and grandparents, etc. So, I was ready to take a break from Valentines creations for a bit and create a card using the <a href="http://stampincelebrationblog.blogspot.com/">Stampin' Celebration</a> *sketch* challenge. Yep, a fun new surprise. :-) For the mid-monthspiration, there will now be a sketch. So you can use just the inspiration piece, OR just the sketch, OR both for more fun! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have also been wanting to use my <b>Oh, Hello</b> stamp set which has been neglected since I pre-ordered it all the way back in December. The color combination was inspired by the colors found in the Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP in the <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2013_Spring_g8erkd/20130103_SpringCatalog_en-US.pdf">Spring Catalog</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As I was making this card I liked all of the different elements, but I wasn't so sure once I got them all together if I like the overall card. One of the elements I thought was fun was the safety pin at the top. I pierced two holes with my paper-piercing tool and then added the safety pin (from the <b>Vintage Trinkets</b> collection). The ribbon--<b>Marina Mist and Melon Mambo 3/8" Striped Organdy Ribbon--</b>is also new in the <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2013_Spring_g8erkd/20130103_SpringCatalog_en-US.pdf">Spring Catalog</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The large letters come from the <strong>Simple Letters Alphabet</strong> dies and the little letters come from the <strong>Billboard Alphabet</strong> die--(both discontinued).

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For the top of the box I used a 4" by 12" piece of the Designer Paper (so you can get 3 tops per 1 sheet of DSP) and ran it through the Big Shot again, but lined up so that you don't cut out the part that would become the tabs to make the bottom of the box. Then adhere along the edges to make a tube, pinch the top together, punch holes, and tie it closed. Here I used some of the Satiny Pool Party ribbon from the Sale-A-Bration pack. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For the tag, I stamped with Summer Starfruit onto the same color card stock and then cut out using the smallest flower in the <strong>Floral Frames Framelits</strong> set. I cut out a second flower in Pool Party to layer behind. The sentiment was stamped with the <strong>Essentials</strong> set and then cut out using the <strong>Bitty Banners Framelits</strong>. The Oval that creates the base of the tag was cut out using the <strong>Ovals Collection Framelits</strong> found in the </span><a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2013_Spring_g8erkd/20130103_SpringCatalog_en-US.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Spring Catalog</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I also wanted to remind you that this is a great time to join the Stampin Up family! If purchase the starter kit during Sale-A-Bration, you get an extra 25% in Starter Kit products for FREE. So that means:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>You choose $156 of any current Stampin Up products and pay only $99 (plus tax)!</strong> Awesome! You don't even have to pay shipping, which saves another 10%. :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">By purchasing the starter kit, that means you join the <span class="il">Stampin</span>' <span class="il">Up</span>! family of demonstrators (and my team). From when you purchase the kit until June 30th, 2013 you get all the demonstrator benefits. But that doesn't mean you have any obligation to host parties, purchase anything further, or solicit orders from anyone. You literally can take advantage of this offer and walk away. There is no penalty to drop. However, if you do have $300 in sales or purchases between now and June 30th, then you renew your benefits for another 3 months. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Intrigued? So what are the benefits of being a demonstrator? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A <strong>few</strong> of my favorites are:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">--an additional 10% off your first order of $150 or more during your first 45 days (on top of your 'normal' 20% discount)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">--access to the Stampin' Connection website that has thousands of project ideas, forums, videos, etc.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">--Stampin' Success (a bi-monthly magazine) full of ideas and tips</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">--the ability to attend demo-only events (convention, leadership, regionals) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And of course you can attend my downline meeting (every other month) and make cute projects like this one. :-) Or if you live far away, I send you the projects. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you are curious and have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask me! I have loved my journey with <span class="il">Stampin</span> <span class="il">Up</span> and look forward to sharing it with you. This really is such a great deal that there's really NOT a reason to miss out on it! :-) Ready to go?

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hi all! Back with another Valentine's project today. :-) I created this using the </span><a href="http://fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/01/fab-fri-10.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Fab Friday color challenge</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, and we also made this at my <strong>Stampers Club</strong> this past weekend. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-atfLNGg7Dvy4HLJWeVE_0XSmxq9eGMRgyAU7lT8JfupFdHrWXMWLoUwiEV2LKA8v-MCfEiFlKKd0kxF1XcosvlrBYy80kuzapXxQVsOn4oFqkg-Ci5a0Rq57ZOA-qLaq166DnShlJxVX/s1600/Fab+Fri+Logos-007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-atfLNGg7Dvy4HLJWeVE_0XSmxq9eGMRgyAU7lT8JfupFdHrWXMWLoUwiEV2LKA8v-MCfEiFlKKd0kxF1XcosvlrBYy80kuzapXxQVsOn4oFqkg-Ci5a0Rq57ZOA-qLaq166DnShlJxVX/s320/Fab+Fri+Logos-007.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This cute little pocket was made using the<strong> Petite Pocket die</strong> (and <strong>Big Shot</strong>). The smallest hearts were punched out with the <strong>Small Heart punch</strong>, the medium heart (the one inside the banner) is the smallest heart from the <strong>Hearts Collection Framelits</strong>, and the banner and largest hearts were cut out using the <strong>Hearts a Flutter Framelits</strong>. I used the <strong>Finishing Touches Edgelits</strong> to get the fun edge on the Very Vanilla Layer. It did take lots of runs through the Big Shot, but I think it was worth it in the end. :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I crinkled the Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake hearts to give a little texture. I also used one of the new <strong>Soda Pop Tops</strong> from the </span><a href="http://fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/01/fab-fri-10.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Spring Catalog</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. I ran the pop top through the Big Shot (platform with no tabs and a cutting plate on top and bottom of the pop top) to flatten it a little bit. I really like these <strong>Soda Pop Tops</strong>, but they are pretty tall (as is) to add to a project. For me, being able to 'smash' them down a little bit makes them much more 'useable'. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here's a picture of the back of the pocket and the note that fits inside. (Note: This does hold a gift card, although just barely.) I used the button brads from the <strong>Vintage Trinkets</strong> collection and <strong>Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine</strong> for the enclosure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Have a great day! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Stampin' Up's premiere promotion of the year has started! <strong>Sale-A-Bration</strong> is here, and this card showcases one of the stamp sets--called <strong>Feeling Sentimental</strong>--that is available for free with a $50 purchase. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I needed a birthday card for my grandpa, so I set to work with this stamp set.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The image is inked with Early Espresso, and I also sponged (and distressed) all the edges with the same color. I added some of the new <strong>Natural 7/16" Trim Ribbon</strong> and one of the new <strong>Silver Basics Designer Buttons</strong>. I really like both of these products. The buttons are nice because they are thin, they don't add too much 'up' to your card. </span><br />

Well now that I've started creating some Valentine's cards, I'm on a roll! Several of these hearts were actually 'left overs' from the card I created earlier this week. I saw the sketch challenge over at <a href="http://handstampedsentiments.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Hand Stamped Sentiments</a>, and knew what I could use the hearts for. :-) </div>

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I stamped the hearts using the <b>Hearts a Flutter</b> stamp set (found in the new <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2013_Spring_g8erkd/20130103_SpringCatalog_en-US.pdf" target="_blank">Spring Catalog</a>) and then ran them through the Big Shot with the coordinating<b> Hearts a Flutter Framelits </b>to cut them out. I also used the new <b>Honeycomb Embossing Folder </b>for the fun texture on the Pool Party layer. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
The gray hearts are covered in <b>Dazzling Diamonds</b> glitter--I used <b>Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets</b> to adhere the glitter. The 'love' tag was stamped with the <b>Lovely Little Labels</b> stamp set and then punched out suing the <b>Little Labels Punch</b> pack. I adhered the bow and the tags with glue dots--uncharacteristic to my 'usual', they aren't attached to each other. </div>

With Valentine's day less than a month away, it's about time that I got started thinking about Valentine's projects! I had fun putting this card together using some new goodies from the <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2013_Spring_g8erkd/20130103_SpringCatalog_en-US.pdf" target="_blank">Spring Catalog</a>. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
I used the <b>Hearts A Flutter</b> stamp set and the coordinating framelits dies. The smallest heart is from the <b>Hearts Collection</b> framelits (found in the main catalog). The ribbon can be found in the <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2013_SAB_2kt93k/20130122_SAB_en-US.pdf" target="_blank"><b>Sale-A-Bration catalog</b></a>--it is part of the <b>Sycamore Street Ribbon & Buttons Pack</b>. The sentiment is from the <b>Teeny Tiny Wishes</b> stamp set. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This time of year I am always needing thank you notes. . . I have many vivid memories of my mom helping us write thank you notes after Christmas and birthdays. Although I didn't like the tradition as a child, I see the importance now and am teaching my children to write thank you notes. Do you find it 'old fashioned' to send thank you notes for presents? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Anyway, you can see that I took the snowflake theme, the pink and blue and ran with that. I figure my son will use the blue ones and my daughter will use the pink ones. I used the Note Cards (finished size is 3 1/2" by 5") that come pre-scored 20 to a package, with envelopes, for $5.95. I used by <strong>Snow Flurry</strong> die and <strong>Big Shot</strong> to cut out the snow flakes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After I cut out the snowflakes from the <strong>Silver Shimmer Paper</strong>, I sponged coordinating ink onto the snowflake. Plenty of shimmer still shines through! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Merry Christmas! I wanted share the card I sent out this year. I used Stampin' Up!'s <strong>My
Digital Studio 2</strong> to create it. This was the first time I've used MDS 2, and I'm loving the changes they've made to the program. Now I just need to learn how to take advantage of all the fancy new features! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Although I always intend to hand-stamp all my cards, somehow it doesn't seem to happen often enough! This was a fabulous time saver for a hectic time
of year. :-) </span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Happy Holidays everyone! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Made it all the way to Day number 12 of the <strong>'12 Days of Christmas'</strong>! </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This is another one of the cards from a <strong>Stamp-A-Stack</strong> class. This is an idea that I've seen lots of different places and just made my own version of it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The rectangles of <strong>Naturals White </strong>card stock are (top) 1 3/4" by 1 5/8" and (bottom) 3" by 1 5/8". I sponged around the edges to add some definition, and added a <strong>Glimmer Brad</strong> for the door knob. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">For the wreath, the largest wreath is created by punching first with the 1 3/8" Circle Punch and then with the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch. For the smaller wreath, I stamped with Gumball Green, punched the middle out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch, and then ran it through the Big Shot with one of the framelits from the <strong>Floral Frames collection</strong>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The wreath was spritzed with a mix of Frost White Shimmer paint and rubbing alcohol, and the bow was added with a glue dot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season with family and those you love! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Day 11 of the <strong>'12 Days of Christmas'</strong>! Today I have two cards to show you that both use the <strong>Ornament Keepsakes</strong> stamp set and coordinating <strong>Holiday Ornaments Framelits</strong> collection. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The first card is one that we made at a Stampers Club meeting. The Designer Paper is from the <strong>Festival of Prints DSP stack</strong> (where else?!) and the Lucky Limeade Circle was cut out using the <strong>Bigz Clear Circle Die</strong> (just now realized that is no longer available in the catalog!) and is about a 3 3/4" circle. The circle is also sprayed with a combination of <strong>Frost White Shimmer Paint</strong> and Rubbing Alcohol to give it a subtle sparkle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>Stamps:</strong> Ornament Keepsakes, More Merry Messages</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>Ink:</strong> Lucky Limeade, Cherry Cobbler</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>Paper:</strong> Lucky Limeade, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Festival of Prints DSP Stack</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>Accessories:</strong> Holiday Ornaments Framelits, Clear Bigz Circle Die, Big Shot, Very Vanilla 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Frost White Shimmer Paint (mixed with rubbing alcohol), Rhinestone Jewels, dimensionals</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This card is one that I had designed as an option for my Stamp-A-Stack classes, but it ended up not making the cut. :-) Pretty simple, just takes a little time to do the paper piercing around the edges. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The 'strings' that the ornaments are hanging from were drawn using a ruler and one of the new <strong>Silver Stampin' Dazzle Markers</strong>. </span><br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Only a few days left until Christmas! My kids are so excited and repeatedly ask 'how many more days till Christmas?' :-) It's fun though to have their excitement and anticipation. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One of the things I made up this year, to sell at the Bazaar that benefits the preschool my daughter goes to, are these clothespin magnets. These are the two 'holiday' options that I had available. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The gingerbread man comes from the <strong>Scentsational Season</strong> stamp set and is cut out with the coordinating <strong>Holiday Collection Framelits</strong>. The Designer Paper comes from the <strong>Polka Dot Parade</strong> package (Real Red and Old Olive) and the Espresso comes from the <strong>Color Collection DSP Stack</strong> (Neutrals). </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The snowflakes were cut out using the <strong>Snow Flurry</strong> Bigz die. I love the touch of sparkle that the <strong>Silver Glimmer Paper</strong> brings! The Designer Paper is from the <strong>Festival of Prints</strong> DSP Stack. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you want to see what the magnets look like on the back, you can see </span><a href="http://alliohran.blogspot.com/2012/11/owl-magnets.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">THIS</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> post. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">These clothespin magnets are cute packaged, or they can also make a cute addition to the tops of your presents--attached to a bow or holding a tag onto a bag. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Back again with another Christmas card! This is another card from one of my <strong>Stamp-A-Stack</strong> classes this fall. This card is really pretty simple to make--the only time consuming part was the paper piercing. Although I love having all the new paper-piercing templates because they make it so easy to have perfectly lined up holes. :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This card uses the Evergreen stamp set found in the <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2012_Holiday_a3vfnf5/files/20120601_Holiday_en-US.pdf" target="_blank">Holiday Mini Catalog</a> and the More Merry Messages stamp set from the big <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-US/2012_Holiday_a3vfnf5/files/20120601_Holiday_en-US.pdf" target="_blank">Catalog</a>. I hand-cut the banner ends on the sentiment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Day number 8 of my <strong>'12 Days of Christmas'</strong> series! This cards is one that I saw demonstrated at the Stampin' Up! convention this past summer. It's actually the card that finally convinced me to buy the <strong>Festival of Prints DSP stack</strong>. :-) It's nice because you cut one sheet from the stack exactly in half--getting 2 layers/two cards. When we made these in a <strong>Stamp-A-Stack</strong> class, each person got 4 sheets of Designer Paper--all different--and they got to choose which side of the DSP they used on each card. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Really the only 'trick' to this card is stamping the mug. First ink up with Gumball Green, then take your Blender Pen to remove the green ink just from the 'drink' part of the image. Then use your Early Espresso marker to color in the drink. Breathe on the stamp to re moisten the ink, and stamp on your card stock. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cute and simple! I thought this would make an adorable invitation for a holiday get-together, but particularly a caroling/hot cocoa party. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I think I'm finally done with Christmas shopping! Nothing like waiting until the last minute. :-) How about you? When did/will you finish your shopping? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is another card from one of my <strong>Stamp-A-Stack</strong> classes. Several people commented on how much easier it was to make this cards than they thought it would be. The Cherry Cobbler layer is the new <strong>Core'dinations card stock</strong> that was run through the Big Shot with the new <strong>Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder</strong>. I didn't sand mine down very much after embossing, but you can gently sand it to bring out more of the middle (lighter color) of the paper to give more contrast. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A tip--when you add the <strong>Dazzling Details</strong> to the card (the 'snow' under the sleigh) make sure it doesn't touch where you have stamped--otherwise it will run the ink! </span><br />
