Have you seen the Labels of Love stamp set in the Holiday Catalog? It covers all kinds of occasions AND It coordinates with a NEW punch – and you know how I LOVE punches for quick and easy projects.
Here is a fun Halloween card using the Label of Love stamp set along with the Cat Punch and some Spooky Night Designer Series paper for a quick card.
There’s a lot of punching going on here. LOL The cat is part of the Designer Series Paper, Spooky night – just punch it out. That’s right no stamping – so you have a perfect cat every time!
And check out these projects made with the Labels of Love stamp set.
As I mentioned yesterday I held my team retreat last weekend. It was 3 wonderful days of fellowship, stamping, and laughter. As usual I was a bit remiss in taking photos of us together during the event. (Note to self put a sticky note out to remind me next time. since I get side tracked easily at these events. LOL). But you are in luck because I did take photos of some of the project everyone was working on.
Our group was a bit smaller than normal but that didn’t slow us down any. Actually it was kind of nice since we were able to spread out. You know how it goes 6 feet is never enough space with all those new goodies! Here is a photo of the space set up and ready for everyone to arrive.
Deborah brought this cute little treat for everyone made with the Lemon Zest Bundle (145359/145360).
I can’t wait to make some of these up myself to surprise folks with – that is if I can find the lemon candies. (3 stores already and no luck! Sigh… maybe it is the eclipse and they’ve gone the way of moon pies!)
She also brought this cute little bag she was working on using the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper (144613) and Spooky Cat Stamp Set (144749).
And do you see the yummy Basic Black Vintage Crochet Trim (144611)? I can’t wait to start working with it!
And Cindy made these wonderful little post it holders for everyone.
On to cards – Want to see some of the wonderful cards we made in our shoe box swap?
Anna’s uses a couple of the new products from the Holiday Catalog.
I just love the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder (144686), snowflakes are my thing any how, but this card was soooo quick and easy perfect for holiday cards!
And Deborah’s is a new twist on the ever popular Swirly Bird Stamp Set (141749).
And my card – of course it uses the Musical Season Bundle (146048/146049) and Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper (144623).
I love the way the french horn cuts out of the Champagne Foil Paper (144748). You may see this one turn up at my catalog launch (watch for more information coming soon.)
And how about this final card that Cindy made using the Painted Harvest stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. Soft and lovely – I knew I’d end up wanting this bundle when I saw her working with things at the retreat!
And here is a fun note card that Anna surprised me with for my promotion using the Icing on the Cake Stamp Set (143664). I was admiring it while she was stamping but had no clue it was for me – what a surprise!
I have such wonderful stamping friends and team members!
And last but not least how about this cute little thank you card made with the Bella & Friends stamp set (141867/141870)?

I love making little note pad holders and today’s project is no exception – I was inspired by the little flags I found in my stash and done in patriotic colors using the Wood Words stamp set I really love the way it turned out.

I just love this NEW Crafting Forever stamp set (143955/143958) and couldn’t resist using it for the Catalog Kick Off. The sayings are fun and the images are great for those of us who love crafting.
I found these fun colorful post it flags at the dollar spot and wanted to create a little holder for them to go along with the new catalog.
After all mine has little flags sticking out all over the place yours should too. LOL! My wish list is long and this catalog has some wonderful new products that I can’t resist!
I couldn’t decide which sentiment to use – so I chose to make some of each.

Saturday we kicked off the 2017 Catalog launch with a fun event where we made 3 cards using new product and stamp sets from Annual Catalog. I love these events since they are always a lot of fun – after all who doesn’t love a new catalog, right? LOL!
Today I thought I’d share some photos of the class room and what everyone received when they attended. I had lots of great cards to share on display that I’ll also be sharing with you on my blog. I totally revamped my chalk board displays and even added a little shelf since one of them needed repair.
Along with some of our new products
Want to see what greeted everyone at their places? I made these cute little name tags using the Daisy Delight Bundle.
Everyone who attended received a NEW Catalog, of course. Along with a 2017 In Color Swatches and Bookmark to hold their spot, chocolate, and a special little post it note flag holder. (I’ll be sharing some videos later this week on these projects – so watch for them in the up coming days.)
Mean while here is one of the cards we made using the Ribbon of Courage stamp set (143852/143855).
This set is also has coordinating Framelits Dies, Support Ribbon (143749) to make it easier to use yet! You get get both in our money saving bundle (145341/145342) and save 10%.
This set not only contains two different ribbons, it also contains some wonderful sentiments. Customize the ribbon with the color you need and you have a wonderful card to share with a friend or loved one.
I’m including a FREE Tutorial for you for this card
Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more projects from the Catalog Launch.

Today I’ll be sharing with you the projects and Make ‘n Takes that I made for my FREE Sale-a-bration Celebration Event that was held earlier this month for those who qualified during Sale-a-bration. I had a lot of fun pampering everyone – after all I couldn’t do this without each and everyone of you!
Here is my classroom all set up and ready to go.
Everyone had a spot with their treats and projects ready for them.
I had a lot of fun making these post it note easel holders. (I’ll miss this stamp set with it’s coordinating punches it has been one of my go to sets. So many uses!) I found these sticky notes for them once again at Target – don’t you love their dollar spot? If you missed it and would like to learn how to make these holders I have a quick Video Tutorial HERE.
It was sooo easy to whip up a batch of these. And after all who doesn’t enjoy a little chocolate?
I simply cut the Designer Series Paper into 3″ x 6″ strips, added a bit of Snail across the top and then folded them in half. Stamp my sentiment from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set (140273) and used the Triple Banner Punch to create the flag. Then I tied some Baker’s Twine in different colors around the top and slipped in a Ghiradelli Chocolate. Yep! That quick and easy!!!
And what did we make? 6 cards! This first card got my daughter’s seal of approval so I had to include it. LOL! It uses the Birthday Blast stamp set (142854/142866).

I found these cute little post it note holders a while back in the dollar spot at Target and couldn’t resist whipping up some holders using the Succulent Framelits Dies.
So what do you think? These little sticky pads measure 3 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ and I started my project by using the colors in them to kick off my creativity.
While both pads measure the same the colors were different so I made them a bit differently too.
I chose to go with two succulents for this one.
And a bold Sahara Sand succulent on the other
Check out this quick video to see how I made the Succulent Easel Post it Holder

I love to make special little gifts for my team and I thought I’d share the Succulent Garden frame with you today along with a quick video showing you how I made it.
I’ve love the soft colors in the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper so that is where I started with my project since they seemed to coordinate well with our On Stage logo for this spring. I even personalized the logo with Savannah and the year so that when they take the cardboard piece out to put the photo in they can turn it around and always have the information right there on the back! (After all I have a hard time remember where and when photos were taken after a few years. How about you?)
I also made name tags for our bags.
After all with hundreds of the same bag running around, you want to identify yours quickly right? Especially since it is packed with lots of goodies!!!
Yep, I had all this in my bag to bring home! I love being a demonstrator and attending Stampin’ Up! events!!!
And did you notice? I had a bit of beading fun too! I used blue beads since we are the Blue Mountain Stampers (makes sense, right?) and
I found some special charms to go along with our choice of On Stage location. And check out these cute little On Stage logos using Shrinky Dinks of all things! What fun it was watching them shrink from their original 2″ size down to these tiny charms – brings out the kid in me. LOL! I love spoiling my team and Deborah was pleasantly surprised to find this little Team Gift on her bed in the hotel the first evening.
Okay, you ready to learn how I made the frame? I’ve got two video tutorials for you and a complete supply list if you scroll down to the end.

Tuesday was our monthly Paper Pumpkin Craft Time for open crafting – if you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me this time is for you – It’s my way of saying thank you for choosing me as your demonstrator.) So we spent the morning crafting together and sharing alternative ideas for the March kit.
If you haven’t seen the March kit it is super cute!
The kit always have a quick video in case you don’t want to read the instructions. LOL!
And I love the fact that Stampin’ Up! shares alternate projects for the kit if you don’t like the instructions included.
I’ve even seen the muslin bags whip stitched across the bottom to create a sachet filled with potpourri! Cool right?
So today I thought I’d share with you my alternate project that I made with the kit. I love to give little 3d gifts but don’t tend to use 3×3 note cards as often so I simply took one of our 2″ x 8″ Cello Bags (141703) and put some pencils I had picked up as basket stuffers for the kits and voila!
Cute? I’ve taken some quick shots to show you how I did the ears. I simply punched out a face using the punch 1 1/2″ Circle Punch (138299) and Whisper White Card stock and stamped the face I wanted. There are all kinds of cute combinations you can make with this kit. Then stamped the ears I wanted to use.
I fussy cut the ears and then stamped the floppy ear onto one of the stickers and cut it out before adding it to the ear.
A couple of the glue dots to attach the ears onto the face and added it to my note card that I turned so the opening went over the cello bag. The staple is covered by the bunny. I love the baker’s twine in the kit, so I tied a little bow to put on this little bunny with another glue dot.
The kits always come with lots of stuff that can be used for additional projects! AND these kits are great for all ages!!! Since they contain everything you need except scissors they are great gifts or even kits to take on the road so you can craft. It’s a surprise each month so there are all kinds of different kits.
