A Basket full of Posies

I love when everything comes together easily and of course Stampin’ Up! gives us a great start since their products are designed to work together!

Crazy about You (2)

An example is this card that I received in a swap from Brenda. Not only does it use the flowers from the Crazy About You stamp set with it’s coordinating punch, but she also uses the Berry Basket Die and Handpicked Framelits Dies. They are sized perfectly for this card.

Here are some other fun items I’ve made using the Berry Basket Die.

Crazy About You & April Events

Want a fun bold color combination? Why not check out the Bohemian Designer Series Paper and Washi Tape found in the Annual Catalog? I’ve used the Bohemian Washi Tape for this card since I love the rich colors it contains.

DSC04272

This card was quick and easy since the Washi Tape is simply stick and tear and the focal point has a coordinating punch. And who doesn’t LOVE a coordinating punch? LOL

The great thing about the Crazy About You stamp set is the fact it is available in wood, clear and photopolymer. You’ve got tons of sentiments to choose from and when you combine them you can come up with all kinds of greetings. I’ve just used the simple hello for this card, but how many combinations can you come up with when you look at the set?

And did you notice the center of my flower? It’s one of our fun self stick Metal Rimmed Pears (138394) which is part of our Weekly Deals that end today. If you haven’t tried these embellishments it’s a great time to get yours. They add a elegant pop to your card, come in three sizes and are self stick!

Blue Mountain Stampers’ Winter Weekend Retreat

Last week I mentioned I’d share with you some photos from my team retreat, but I got side tracked and forgot. So I thought I’d share them with you today – I hold these retreats three times a year for my team members. It’s like a big slumber party – although a lot of times we don’t get a lot of sleep since once we start creating we don’t want to stop! LOL.

Blue Mountain Stampers' Winter Weekend Retreat 2015 (3)

These events are a lot of fun, laid back and relaxing. A nice time away from every day responsibilities.

Blue Mountain Stampers' Winter Weekend Retreat 2015 (2)

Team members come and go based on their schedules. One day, evening, the Shoebox Swap,  or the whole weekend. What ever works best with their schedules!

Blue Mountain Stampers' Winter Weekend Retreat 2015 (1)

It’s a wonderful time of sharing and creating and everyone has access to my classroom items to create. (These events are typically tied to a new catalog launch so we can have fun playing and trying out items that we may not have gotten ourselves.) It’s a lot of fun since everyone does a show and tell before we start of their new goodies!

Here is one of the cards I created for my upcoming Coffee & Cards class on January 27th (There is still time to sign up for this event you can Click HERE to see my calendar of events and more information). It uses our new Crazy About You bundle (139324/139325/138873).

Hello You thinlits Crazy About You Coffee & Cards card

I used this card as my Shoebox Swap on Saturday afternoon – everyone got to make one at the Retreat on Saturday afternoon.

And here is a cute little treat that Janette gave everyone when she arrived on Saturday morning.

Bow Builder Punch Valentine treat

Adorable, right? Janette used the new Bow Builder Punch (137414), so the bows were quick and easy! And of course the cut out was created with the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies (125599) great for all kinds of Valentine’s Day projects.

I put together my Hello Life Project Kit (137949). I still need to add the photos to it,

Hello You Project Kit

but wow there were a ton of items left after I finished the kit – I can’t wait to use them for other projects or maybe do a second version of the kit so I can change things out. Of course that is if my daughter Kaitlin doesn’t run off with it – she immediately wanted it for her dorm when she saw it! What a great private class this kit makes (ask me about this option so you can earn a free kit).

Do my team retreats sound like fun? Want to join in? Have you ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator and getting a discount on your paper crafting supplies? Do you know you can join my team right now just $99? You’ll get $125 in Stampin’ Up! product of your choice plus 2 Sale-a-bration items – and it ships for FREE! So why not give it a try?
