Flowering Foils

Hello crafty friends!

We are in the middle of Sale-a-bration, Stampin' Up!'s annual three month party where you reap the benefits in the form of free products when you make a qualifying purchase!  And who doesn't like free?  I know I do!

On March 3, Stampin' Up!'s second release of Sale-a-bration rewards will become available.  And there are some great products just waiting for you! 

One of the new products is called Flowering Foils.  This beautiful pack of specialty designer series paper contains 12 sheets with rose gold and silver foil designs.




I chose the small floral pattern for today's card and colored the background with Purple Posy Stampin' Blends.  The flowers were not colored. 




The sentiment is from another second release Sale-a-bration item, Tags In Bloom.


Tags in Bloom coordinates with the Label Me Fancy and Label Me Lovely punches.



Product List

The host code for February is now available.  Please use host code NRJDA6UJ when placing your order.   Remember, if your order is over $150.00, do not enter this code.  You will still receive this month's ordering gift from me!  

With your minimum $50.00 order, not only will you earn a Sale-a-bration reward, you will also receive my ordering gift for February.

Lovely Day

Hello friends.

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you already know I'm a fan of the monthly project kit in a box from Stampin' Up!, Paper Pumplin.  February's  Paper Pumpkin kit is called "Lovely Day".  Not only does it contain all the supplies to make 9 full sized cards with coordinating envelopes; the stamp set in the kit also coordinates with the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Happy Birthday to You!  Bonus!


The highlighted script on each card is rose gold foil on dimensionals so they really pop!  And the pink sequins add just the right touch!




If you are not currently a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I encourage you to give it a try!  Click here to learn more about Paper Pumpkin.  And if you're ready to subscribe, click here!

Poppy Memories

As I've mentioned previously, from time to time I'll pull out a card kit I prepared for a past kit and make a card using current products.  I did this with my card today.  So, even though Strawberry Slush is no longer available as a Stampin' Up! color, this card works with multiple color combinations.

And I want you to have a chance to make it, too!



When you place an order for the Timeless Tulips Bundle (#153793), I will send you the project sheet with all the directions for completing this project at home.  

Or, you can make the project at my in home studio in Elizabeth (by Lock 3).  All materials (except frame) are provided.  The available dates are:


Tuesday, March 2  7:00 PM
Thursday, March 12  7:00 PM
Saturday, March 14  11:00 AM

The fee for making the project at my home is $7.00.  And, if you would like a frame, please add an additional $7.50 to your cost.  RSVP no later than 5 days before the date you plan to attend so I can have the project kits ready.

Do the Impossible

Hello stampers,

Are you an active person?  I like to walk - and I like to swim - and I like to bike, but moderately.  Not like an athlete, but just to keep moving.  However, I'm inspired by those that are active.  

The stamp set, Do the Impossible is perfect for encouraging and cheering on the active people in your life.  



I made this card to celebrate some of the active people in my life.

Bonanza Buddies

Hello stampers,

The Birthday Bonanza product suite is great for crafting birthday cards for those of all ages.  Today we'll take a look at a card more suited for a younger recipient.


I used the dies in the bundle to cut out the fun little animals from the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper Pack.  The banners are from the reverse side of a couple of papers.  What a fun card!

Honey Bee

Hello crafty people,

From time to time I read comments about Stampin' Up! as a company.  And inevitably, people comment overwhelmingly about how well Stampin' Up! products coordinate.  Today's card is a great example of that.  This card uses items from the Jan-June 2020 Mini Catalog, Sale-a-bration, the annual catalog, and the Christmastime Is Here product suite (still available).  Take a look!
