Framed Florets Friendship Card Tutorial

You’re going to love the lovely cards you can create with the Framed Florets Bundle and while the sneak peek Collection and it’s limited time products (163129) is only available for a couple more weeks the good news is the bundle will be available in the NEW 2023 Mini Catalog. This bundle has some wonderful oval die options and include 2 different frames that you can mix and match.

I just love the soft color that the Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper and Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon gives this project and our Stampin’ Blends make coloring quick and easy. Check out this Video Tutorial that I made for you showing you how I created this card.

Team Shoe Box Fun & More

Last week I shared with you one of our projects from our December Team Luncheon and so today I wanted to share the lovely Shoe Box projects that everyone brought with them to share. There was a wide variety of projects which is what makes a shoe box swap so much fun!

This first card is a special Gift Box in a Card that uses our Eden’s Garden Collection (160849).

I just love the little message that was included with the card for the back.

What a great way to send virtual hugs. I know I’ll be making more of these myself to share with you soon.

Next a fun fold – this fun card uses the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set (158203) and it’s coordinating dies (156095) along with the fun Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309) that adds texture to the shells too. If you haven’t seen this Bundle (159516) and love anything beach themed you’ll want to be sure to check it out (page 27 of the Annual Catalog).

A card made with the lovely Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (155841) and some of our dies along with the sentiment from the Shaded Summer stamp set (155783).

Texture has also been added with our Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317) and lovely Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Chevron Weave Ribbon (155722). and need a birthday card? This next card has tons of appeal with it’s rich look using the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (155464) and Gold Foil (132622).

And last but not least a sneak peek from the upcoming MINI and Sale-a-bration products. This last card uses the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Friendly Hello (159990) and lovely Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper (158127). Both these items will be available to earn on January 4th with a qualifying order.

I’m thinking they will be very popular. Of course, if you stamp with me regularly your 2022 January – June MINI Catalog is already in the mail on it’s way to you and hopefully arriving soon.

Wondering How to Get YOUR Copy?

  • If you haven’t ordered in a while
  • Don’t have a demonstrator

Contact me at [email protected] or give me a call. I’ll be happy to mail you one or if your local set one aside for pick up

And of course since this is our Annual Luncheon and I gave everyone this cute little charm for their team lanyard

along with a little gift.

And because it’s December I shared some of the products with my team that we were able to preorder from the 2022 January – June Mini and Sale-a-bration Brochure. It’s one of my favorite “perks” of being a demonstrator. Getting to be first to order new products and get them at a discount too! What’s not to love?

What are the Blue Mountain Stampers?

Beauty of Friendship

Today’s cards continue the nature theme this week. This stamp set is part of another fun Suite of products call the Beauty of the Earth. Filled with natures images and colors it is a wonderful option for creating year round cards and masculine cards.

This Suite of products has it all – stamps, dies, a 3D Embossing Folder and Designer Series Paper! Who can resist that for hours of creating?

Check out these lovely cards using the Beauty of Friendship Bundle and other items from the Suite. This first card has a ton of texture, both in look and feel since it uses both the Bark 3D embossing folder and the Designer Series Paper.

And how about some simple 2 step stamping using Pear Pizzazz and Evening Evergreen Classic Inks?

A bit of sparkle and shine was added with the Gold 3/8″ Fine Art Ribbon (154561). The Tailored Tag Punch (145667) makes this sentiment quick and easy too. Punch a second tag shape, cut it in half and layer the sentiment for another pop of color. And how about this cute idea? Use the shape to create grass and our Loose Flower Flourishes (155808) add a pop of color and flowers to the grassy area. These flowers come in 3 colors and 2 different sizes giving your lots of flower fun!

This next card has wonderful rich colors and perfect for the men in our lives since it uses the rich Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim (152472).

And finally this card is wrapped up in a Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon (153658)

whew! Love the variety this Suite gives us. I think the Beauty of Friendship is a wonderful option for our crafting needs. What do you think?

More Maui Swaps & Pictures

Today I’ll be sharing some more of my Incentive Trip swaps with you and I hope you’ll enjoy them along with my photos from the Luau and last day at the Grand Wailea. So here we go!

This first card uses the Timeless Tulip stamp set (158327) and the Tulip Builder Punch (151295).

It’s a fun fold that teams up our New In Colors Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent. This is a great set for new stampers since it has some great sentiments and a punch.

And how about this next card using the sweet and soft Hand Penned Designer Series Paper (155499) and the Beauty of Friendship Bundle (155834)?

It’s another fun fold.

This next card uses the Henna Hearts stamp set (155665) found on page 100 in the Annual Catalog.

The Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper (155761) with it’s foiling makes an impact on this gate fold card.

And if you like dragonflies check out this next card using the Dragonfly Garden Bundle (156224) and the Meadow Dies (155852).

The dragonfly just shimmers since it has been given a coating of our Clear Wink of Stella. And finally this last card uses one of our holiday bundles, Tiding & Trimmings (155716) that you can find in the Annual Catalog.

The Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (155718) sets the color pallet with Sahara Sand and Evening Evergreen. The Real Red Rhinestones (146924) add a lovely bit of shine to the star while the die add a texture and detail. Simply lovely!

Don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow I’ve got some great 3D swaps to share with you!

Mahalo Maui Luau & More

Our last full day in Maui was filled with friends, new and old. Stampin’ Up! gave us one last opportunity to gather as a group for a wonderful evening right off the beach.

A Quick pic with Shelli at the Maui Incentive Trip Luau

The smell of Plumeria filled the air as we mingled and gathered at our assigned seats to enjoy the evening and listen to the story of the Island.

Sunset at the Luau with my husband, Larry

My husband, Larry, loved his first Stampin’ Up! event as did our daughter who was able to join us. He told me later that I really need to earn the next Incentive Trip.

The Luau also gave us one last opportunity to wear our beautiful leis that we were given when we arrived.

I got a chance to meet 3 new stamping friends at our table.

It was a wonderful night to remember.

And this beautiful hand crafted necklace was my parting pillow gift that I found when we returned to our room that evening.

It was a trip of a lifetime and I have to say once again, thank you. I couldn’t do what I love and share what I love doing if it weren’t for you! I appreciate you and thank you again for supporting my Stampin’ Up! business and spending some time stamping with me.

If you’d like to see more photos of the Luau and my final day in Maui stop on by my facebook page where I’ll share some photos with you later today.

(Disclaimer: less than 1% of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators make the Incentive Trip each year)
