Mystery Hostess is here!

 Today is the day; the mystery hostess begins!  You will email or phone(contact info at the bottom of this post) me orders thru tomorrow, Saturday, March 24th by 8 pm.  Then I will draw for hostess benefits, splitting them up a little, so more people have a chance to win something FREE.  All who place orders will also be entered for door prize drawings.  Further details of this are in blog post entitled Mystery Hostess Time! on March 21, 2012.  You can scroll down and see it.  I will be posting the winners of hostess benefits on Sunday and you can contact me with your choice.  It's gonna be fun!!!  Don't forget Sale-a-bration ends this month so get those items for FREE while you can.  Probably my most favorite FREE item has been the Everyday Enchantment designer series paper (dsp)!  Today's card uses it and a embosslit that was used in my Big Shot training that my club members got this past month called Beautiful Wings. 

and it is always fun to decorate the inside of the card too....

 

 

colors used are pool party, poppy parade, peach parfait, and whisper white.  Stampin' Up!  makes color choice so easy for us sometimes----I just picked colors that were in the dsp.  It is that easy!

I look forward to getting your order--lets make this a great workshop!

Elementary Elegance

It's still Sale-a-Bration time so I am going to post this card made with the Elementary Elegance stamp set and the Everyday Enchantment dsp; both of which are FREE picks for SAB!  Peach Parfait and Soft Suede are the colors along with vanilla.

Don't forget that the Mystery Hostess workshop is coming up!!

Thanks for stopping by --enjoy your day!



Sale-a-Bration continues

Sale-a-Bration time continues on for us and what a great time of year it is!!  It is the biggest sale of the year for Stampin' Up!  Be sure to check out all the information by clicking HERE.  You will find info for customers, hostesses, and new recruits.

For the card today, I got a thank you card from a dowline of mine--absolutely so fun and cute!  This card was created by Sharon Brusett.  Be sure to check out the recruiting special for SAB--only $125 to join my team!

Isn't this just such a cute idea??  She took the full heart punch and folded them and made a flower with them.  She used the Everyday Enchantment dsp from the Sale-a- Bration catty which you can get for FREE with a qualifying purchase of $50 so stock up and save! Below you can see the inside of the card done with the Elementary Elegance SAB set and dsp.  Base card is Peach Parfait cs.

 After seeing this it inspired me to try to make some of these flowers and this is what I came up with.  Thanks Sharon for the inspiration!  Sharon's card is on the left and mine on the right.  I added some of the tasteful trim for a stem and the leaves done with the circle punch.  I have been showing this little trick at some of my recent workshops.  If you would like to learn how, call or email and we will book a workshop for you and your friends.

The two cards below, are both my creations from Sharon's inspiration.  I like having the greeting on the front of the card.  These are so fun and springtime like.  I think even though we have had a pretty mild winter here, we all are having spring thoughts!  Greeting is from Curly and Cute.  Also used the framed tulip folder and the Big Shot on these cards with a little tea stain around the edges.  You can find this distressing kit in our main catalog on page 203.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by today!



Mixed bunch sympathy

Today's post is a sympathy card--seems I have been needing a lot of those here lately.   I am loving this Mixed Bunch set from the occasion's mini catalog.

These cards were made for sisters who lost their Dad recently.  I added a little bit of sponging to the first one and did the lace ribbon differently on it.  It is a great way to use up scrap pieces of dsp on the flagged banners.

The Mixed Bunch has a matching punch to punch the flowers out so that makes it really easy.  I love  punches!  With Sympathy saying comes from Loving Thoughts also out of the occasion's mini.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy!

More Mixed Bunch

I have been playing with this stamp set a lot lately!  I love it and most of all, I love that there is a punch to match the flowers!  No cutting them out--yippee.

I am loving the color combo of soft suede, peach parfait, and vanilla together.  It uses the Mixed Bunch stamp set, Happiest Birthday Wishes (hostess offering)stamp set, dotted scallop ribbon border punch, lace ribbon, etc.  Notice I used a square punch to flag the end of the greeting and dsp.  A little sponging to add interest to the flower.  Some stampin' dimensionals to pop it up a bit.  The dsp comes from the SAB offering called Everyday Enchantment.  Have a great day; thanks for stopping by.

Sale-a-Bration is here!

Today I am showing another SAB set in a layout that I use quite often--my new friend, Susan from leadership, swapped a card with me using this layout and it inspired this card.  Thanks Susan!

It uses the dsp that is in the SAB catty called Everyday Enchantment!  It is absolutely beautiful!  I love it!  The stamp set comes from the SAB exclusive set called Elementary Elegance.  I added some pearls for bling.  That makes every card better I think.  Then I just pulled colors from the dsp to put the card together using calypso coral, poppy red, crumb cake base and vanilla.  You can see a bit of paper piercing and of course, the pool party ribbon.  I love the ribbons to match.

Most of you know that the SAB products used in today's project are available to you FREE by making a $50 purchase.  You can head on over to my website by clicking  HERE!  Then click on the "Shop Now" button.

Sale-a-Bration Time!

It's that time of year!  What a wonderful time and so many wonderful options to choose from.  You can check out the SAB catalog; just click on it at the side of my blog.  The card I am sharing today is one that I did for a swap at leadership in San Antonio last week.  

It uses the hostess bundle from pages 6 & 7 of the SAB catalog.  This bundle is available to everyone that has a $400 workshop or better for FREE.  Or you can get them individually as well, for free, with a $50 purchase.  The stamp set is called Fresh Vintage and the dsp is Everyday Enchantment.  It coordinates with many of our "in colors".  I used calypso coral and pool party with this card.  The ribbon comes from the regular catalog and is ruffled.....so very pretty in real life!
