Botanical Invitations

I always do a celebration for those that qualify for my FREE  Event during Sale-a-bration and so today I thought I would share the invitations that I made for everyone along with a PDF tutorial for you.

This card uses a couple of the items on our Retirement list that I’m sad to see go specifically the wonderful Gorgeous Grunge (130514/130517) which is wonderful for collage or creating backgrounds with interest and the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies (140625) since they have these wonderful pop up areas to the flowers that create wonderful 3d effects.

Here is the tutorial that I’ve created for you – so you can make some too!

And I’ve given you a complete supply list below.

Among the Branches

Same stamp set – two very different styled cards. This first card not only uses the Among the Branches stamps set (139823), but it also uses the Gorgeous Grunge (130514/130517) to add a little texture and interest behind the Tea Lace Paper Doilies (129399).

Among the Branches SC Holiday 2015 Swap (2)

The The Silver Glimmer Paper (135314) and Basic Rhinestones (119246) give it a little pizzaz.

And this one is elegant and classic –

Among the Branches SC Holiday 2015 Swap (1)

I love the Gold Foil Sheets (132622) and Gold 1/8″ Ribbon (134583) that give it that touch of formal elegance.

Saying goodbye to the old & hello to the new!

This week Stampin’ Up! will be transitioning catalogs – As we say goodbye to the 2014 Holiday Catalog and hello to the 2015 Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs I wanted to remind you of a few important dates.

Monday, January 5th – The Catalog transition and other special promotions  are ending on January 5th – so you don’t miss out on any of the goodies.

  • 2014 Holiday Catalog: ends Monday, January 5th at 11:50 p.m. (MT)
  • Year End Closeouts: ends Monday, January 5th at 11:50 p.m. (MT)
  • Weekly Deals: ends Monday, January 5th at 11:50 p.m. (MT)

Tuesday, January 6th is the kick off for two new fun catalogs –

  • 2015 Occasions Catalog: starts Tuesday, January 6th
  • Sale-a-bration Catalog: starts Tuesday, January 6th

If you are a customer of mine who has made a recent purchase you should have already received one from me in your mailbox by now.

You may think you haven’t received the 2015 Occasions Catalog  – It’s a bit confusing since the Occasions Catalog has a special  cover that matches our smaller Sale-a-bration brochure. But the Catalog is larger (8×10) and while the outer cover is yellow, it’s just is a reminder about the Sale-a-bration kick off. Open it and you’ll see the Occasions Catalog’s amazing cover with our beautiful project kit on the front cover. (You can find this Build-a-Bouquet Project kit inside on page 29.)

Inside you’ll see that there are some items from the Holiday Catalog that will be available however most items will no longer be available.

Such as ALL the Designer Series Paper! Along with some items you won’t want to miss out on and are must haves from the 2014 Holiday Catalog. I’ll be sharing  some of my favorite sets that are going away today.

2014 Holiday Catalog image

They are  thank you cards that I made recently –

First the wonderful Seasonally Scattered (135020/135023). I chose to use Garden Green and Calypso Coral for this card along with my Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (133787).

Seasonally Scattered

Don’t you love our Seam Binding? It ties beautifully. Add few Basic Pearls and it’s finished!

These next two are note cards (133766/131527) that I made using the Ornamental Pine stamp set (135104/135107) and the Lots of Thanks set (129687/129690) .

Ornamental Pine and Lots of Thanks (2) Ornamental Pine and Lots of Thanks (1)

And these last two thank you cards use the Letterpress Winter Photopolymer stamp set (135143). This first one is done in Lost Lagoon and Pool Party with a few Rhinestones added.

Letterpress Winter (3)

And this one uses the  soon to be gone Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper (135819).

2015 Occasions Catalog Sneak Peek – Guy Greetings

And speaking of the 2015 Occasions Catalog – Here is a sneak peek of one of the fun stamp sets, Guy Greetings, that is included for the spring!

Guy Greetings

I made this card for a demonstrator meeting swap recently. Not only does it use the Guy Greetings stamp set (138825/138828/137178) found in the new 2015 Occasions Catalog, but it also uses an old favorite that is leaving – the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper (135820) along with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (130514/130517).

What do you think? I’m loving this little set for all the guys in my life!

Questions? Give me a call or drop me an email I don’t want you to miss out on any of your favorites!  Need a catalog? Contact me today and I’ll be happy to mail you a copy.

Merry Everything!

Here are two more great cards that I want to share with you and they share a color theme. Can you tell me what it is? LOL.

Merry Everything Stamp Divas swap Sept 2014

This first card uses the Merry Everything (135068/135071) and the  Fall Fest Stamp sets (135194) from the holiday catalog. I love the fact that not only does Merry Everything cover all your fall holidays but it also comes with a coordinating punch too – the Note Tag Punch. Ahhh… and you know how punches are one of my vices. LOL

Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Divas swap Sept 2014

This second card was given to me by Jeannette and uses our Gorgeous Grunge set (130514/130517) along with the exclusive Hostess set Good Greetings (135014/135017). Oooo… I’m going to miss using these fun sentiments.I just love the font that the 19 different sentiments are done in. This set is such a great deal and you only have a few more days to earn it before it is gone!

So can you guess the color theme? Leave me a comment and let me know what it is and which card you like best.

Boys will be boys

Seems like September is one of those months with lots of birthdays and so I thought I would share with you a card that I created for a special little guy in our lives.

Boys Will Be Boys

This card was made using the Boys Will Be Boys stamp set (134135/134138). I used the Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper as inspiration for adding color to my blocks. I simply used my Blender Pen and the ink from the lid to color them.

I really like the fun way this card opens too.

Boys Will Be Boys open (1)

Boys Will Be Boys is a set that is filled with all kinds of great childhood images. I especially remember the little plastic parachute dude – my big brother Mark was always dropping his from the top of our stairs over the railing and watching it land in the family room below.

Vintage Flower Shop

Today’s card is one that has for better term, a vintage feel to it. Isn’t it funny how you can change the whole look of a card with just the choice of card stock and colors you use?

Flower Shop

The base for this card is Naturals Ivory Card Stock (101849) and if you haven’t ever used our Naturals Card Stock you’re in for a pleasant surprise when you try it. It has such a rich earthy feel to it, and it can really make a difference to the whole look of your project. I use the Nautrals card stocks when I’m wanting a more subtle feel of color, (Whisper White or Very Vanilla), and look for a project.

This card uses the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set which is a wonderful set to add to your collection since it is so versatile and lends itself to so many different styles. It is one that you may pass over at first when you flip through the catalog, since it seems a little bland at first – but don’t let that deter you. Once you stamp with it you’ll wonder why you didn’t get it sooner!

Hope to see you this Saturday – There is still time to RSVP!
