1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Meerkats

Thursday, January 30, 2020

These darling little Meerkats make my heart smile.

What a fun card you can make for the little kiddos!

Of course, you might have a friend that adores Meerkats, and you could leave off the number - it is always up to you.

AND to make it always easier for you - I spent some of my down-time after surgery cutting out the little meerkats for the gals who attended class and made this card (that was inspired by Sharni Haines.

It's amazing how much I was able to accomplish while recovering. I guess sitting around has its benefits.

I'm thankful to be back in my craft room and as of today I only have 11 more days before I (hopefully) get the okay to get out of this fancy shoe and into something normal.

I will be especially happy to be able to go and do a little more as I please, but right now I am still at the mercy of my hubby if I want or need to get out. It sure is a good thing that I love my home and my craft room, and that I am a very content person.

Ok - enough about me...

Not only do you get FREE product with every $50 purchase during Sale A Bration...

Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER, and uses the Hostess code supplied below, *cannot be combined with a free class offer*(minimum $50) during the month of January will receive a pack of HEART DOILIES from me!

Dressed to Impress Birthday

Wednesday, January 29, 2020

One of the cutest new stamp sets in the Mini Catalog is the DRESSED TO IMPRESS Stamp Set.

I was immediately drawn to this set #1 because of Gracie's love of lipstick, and #2 our daughter-in-law, Melissa, LOVES her perfume. What a great combination!, but seriously - I am always applying lipstick or gloss to give my face some added color (my lips are naturally super pale).
This card was inspired by Margriet Tournier as seen on the Demonstrator Facebook Page. What a great tool for us demonstrators to share our cards on. This is where I get much of my inspiration for cards, and treats.
The little "dots" on the 3D Tufted Embossing Folder are actually pierced through with a paper piercer tip on the TAKE YOUR PICK TOOL.
Colors: Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Whisper White with a splash of Real Red for color.

Not only do you get FREE product with every $50 purchase during Sale A Bration...

Mommy & Me Valentines

Tuesday, January 28, 2020

These darling treat projects were inspired by Brenda Quintana and will be featured as a part of the Mommy & Me Valentine class.

Each treat holds a fun size M&M pack of candies

As a bonus Mommy gets to create this Valentine note card for her sweetheart. This little card came about using the red hearts that were punched when creating the windows in the treats. The note card was sitting on my work station because I cut the wrong size for a card that I was making, but fit perfectly on a note card. Once again I stamped my words and hand cut them out.

Not only do you get FREE product with every $50 purchase during Sale A Bration...

Heartfelt Valentine

Monday, January 27, 2020

Just like in the weeks and months before Christmas when we made one Christmas card each week and then more at the Stamp a Stack classes. (if you were faithful in coming, all your Christmas card needs would have been met!), and now in the weeks before Valentines Day we are making one Valentine card each week.

As you can see by the personal watermark on this photo it means that I designed this card, which is usually a rare occasion.

Ever since I have been a part of the Tutorial Medley Group and forced to expand my creativity by designing my own card for the group, I have been much more comfortable in stepping out of my comfort zone. I hope you like it

Here are the supplies used on this card:

Stamp Set: Heartfelt (#151417) Bundle this stamp set with the 2 heart punches and save 10% (153775)

Paper: Basic Black (#121045), Whisper White (#100730), Real Red (#102482)

Ink: Memento Black (#132708), Real Red (#147084)

Tools: Tufted 3D Embossing Folder (#151785), Stitched Rectangle Dies (#148551), Stamparatus (#146276), Paper Snips (#103579)

Extras: Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins (#146933)

I stamped the full sentiment in Memento Black, then stamped it again in Real Red onto a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock and fussy cut the word "Heart" and popped it up on Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (#144108). The real red piece of cardstock is popped up using the regular size Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430)

Can you believe we are in the last week of January?

So don't miss out on getting in on the FREE product of the month with a qualifying purchase;

Not only do you get FREE product from Stampin' Up! with every $50 purchase...

Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER *cannot be combined with a free class offer*(minimum $50) during the month of January will receive a pack of HEART DOILIES

Honey Bee Bundle with Golden Honey DSP

Wednesday, January 22, 2020

One of my favorite products in the Sale a bration Brochure is this darling GOLDEN HONEY SPECIALTY DESIGNER PAPER

What makes this a SPECIALTY PAPER? This gorgeous paper has gold embossed images on several of the 12x12 sheets.

Since this paper is FREE with a $50 purchase, all you need to do is use the item #152311 along with your online order.

Even though this paper is gorgeous on it's own, it is designed to coordinate with the HONEY BEE Stamp Set/Bundle #153792

Each month a group of us stampers get together to assemble our Paper Pumpkin Kits. I like to make alternative ideas with my kit. The December kit was a bit more challenging for me because I wasn't quite as fond of the color scheme, but when I set my mind to it I was able to create 5 alternate ideas.

On this card I used the Honey Bee stamp set/bundle.

I haven't had a ton of time to play with this stamp set/bundle, but hope to devote some time to it soon, so I can use it for classes. I cannot wait to make some super cute treats with it, and the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper.

check out this video from Stampin' Up! highlighting the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper, and you will get instructions how to make a super cute pull out gift card holder.

So not only do you get FREE product with your $50 purchase...

Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER *cannot be combined with a free class offer*(minimum $50) during the month of January will receive a pack of HEART DOILIES
