Card 3 of 4 using the Avant Garden Stamp Set from the Sale-a-bration 2017 Brochure. I wasn't sure exactly how the card was going to look. I had the idea in my head. I knew I wanted to keep with the Chocolate Chip, Pool Party and Sweet Sugar Plum colors that I used on the previous cards. However, I decided to add another neutral color, a favorite, Crumb Cake. You know the reason, right? The burlap ribbon I knew was going to be the finishing touch! The flower, I stamped on Whisper White Card stock (3 1/2' x 2 1/2') in Crumb
Sale-a-bration just got so much more interesting! If you haven't yet received your free 'The sky is the limit' stamp set then you only have a few more days to order it before it's gone forever! Stampin' Up! are introducing 3 new saleabration items from Feb 16th so if you want this bi-plane set hurry hurry and place your orders with me! I CASE'd this card from Julie Gearinger. I loved her 'gold' version and the design layout too. I've used some neutral, almost military tones on this card. I think the strips of lost lagoon and DSP have a nice lifting touch to help you focus on the diagonal panel and of course the cute aeroplane. Try making this card! Here are the measurements for you: Aussie C6 card base in Mossy Meadow cardstock Sahara Sand Frame 3-7/8" x 5-5/8" Basic Black Frame 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" Very Vanilla Panel 2-3/8" x 4-3/8" Lost Lagoon Strip 1/2" x 5-5/8" DSP Strip 1" x 5-5/8" Here are the 3 new products you can earn for FREE!

When I woke up this morning, I realized it was the first day of Spring! I whipped up a few cards to celebrate! I am not sure which color combination is my favorite, it's definitely between the Crushed Curry and the Blushing Bride. Although I like the Marina Mist combination, I am leaning with the other two! My upcoming Happy Birthday Card Club Members will be making this card! I hope they will love it as much as me! I am so ready for warmer weather, flowers to bloom and to watch my boys on the baseball field! Yes, I am

Welcome from Cindys blog this week. I did think no I won't use anything from the upcoming catalogue but I couldn't resist having a play with the new Balloon Adventures Bundle. I did steer away from the Party Animal DSP and used the new Sending Love Paper Stack as I wanted it to be Red.. (It is for a very very special friend of mine who has a birthday this weekend and who hopefully isn't reading this blog right about now.....) I stuck the silver balloon on to the pop up part only by one side so it wasn't folded in the middle. Stamps: Balloon Adventures Ink: Real Red, Memento, Watermelon Wonder Card: Whisper White, Real Red, Silver Glimmer Paper, Watermelon Wonder and Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack Tools: Stitched Framelits & Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies with the Bigshot Embellishments: Dimensionals Next on the hop is Anna I bet her creation is very specky :-)

Wow! The NEW Occasions Catalogue & Sale-a-Bration Brochure are here, and I have a few projects to show you! There are so many beautiful NEW Bundles, Stampsets, Designer Series Papers & Embellishments - it's difficult to choose just one to showcase, however, I think you will love the Summer Themed collection I have made for you. I have created a few Birthday cards from the ever-so-cute 'Cool Treats' Bundle & Accessories from the 'Cool Treats Suite'. We are having a lovely Summer, and the ice creams & icy poles are perfect for Birthday fun, or any other occasion. The 'Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper' is so delicious!, and you can make your own Sundae's or Soft Serve in any flavour and with any topping you desire! A couple of sweet 3D items using the 'Baker's Box Thinlits Dies' and 'Gift Bag Punch Board'. *Dimensions for the Gift Bag: 10" x 4 3/8" I lined the inside of the treat boxes with the 'Sending Love Glassine Sheets', and poured Ice Cream Flavoured Jelly Belly jelly beans inside. The smell is a-ma-zing! Yummy Jelly Belly jelly beans; Apple Pie, Birthday Cake, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Chunk, Orange Sherbert & Strawberry Sundae! You couldn't find a better treat to fill these boxes. While I was creating all of these lovely ice cream treats, I made a mini 'Mr Whippy' van from the 'Tasty Trucks' stampset; page 12 in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. And then I decided to make a Scrap Book page with the mini Mr Whippy van, and my little boys enjoying their icecream cones! Thankyou for visiting.

Hi stampers! It's time for our second Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! How exciting, right???? I'm still in awe I'm on the team! We are a group of 20 demonstrators from around the globe who bring you fun ideas twice a month with awesome SU products. If a blog isn't in your preferred language, feel free to use google translate to figure out what's going on! For this hop we are focusing on Sale-A-Bration sets, you know, the FREE set you can get with a $50 order in the US (check with your demo for the details if you're in a different country). Who doesn't love free? And cute! All of the sets are super cute! However, I'm pretty partial to the little food truck set, tasty trucks so I picked it. Why? Well, I love me some FOOD!!!! ;-) My first card is pretty basic but has a couple of cute little details. I just had to use this sentiment! I mean, "let's taco about how awesome you are?" SO ADORABLE! And...well...TACOS! Yum! To make my background, I just randomly stamped the little tacos on daffodil delight. My truck is watercolored on our watercolor paper. It's hard to see in photographs but I actually used the clear wink of stella brush to make the windows and hubcaps have a little sparkle and shine to them. You can use the wink of stella pens to blend your watercolors to add a little something extra. It's really cute in real life! I cannot get it to photograph for the life of me! I swear it's super cute and sparkly! I also used some of the wink of stella on my little flags that I cut out. I very carefully used a small bit of a dimensional to stick them down right behind my sentiment. I love the little accents in this set like the tiny flag and the little pennants, so cute! For my second card I wanted to do something kind of fun so I made a pop up card! I'm trying to do some little fun extra things that I wouldn't normally do if I weren't on the ADT. I'm a total lazy stamper who doesn't want to do extra work when I don't have to! LOL! But who wouldn't want to get a birthday card with a food truck inside???? The front is pretty basic which I like since the inside is little bit of a surprise. I came up with a little hack for the those cute scallops. I really wanted to use a scallop border and could find none in my stash that was current. Layering square framelits to the rescue! I actually cut out a couple of squares and cut them in half and then lined them up so the scallops aligned behind the panel of DSP and bada-bing (haha) scallops! And for the little truck on the inside! So cute! Like I said, I'm usually pretty lazy and don't do many extra steps but REALLY basic pop up cards are pretty easy even though they look involved. To make the pop up, I watercolored and then cut out this little cupcake truck. Then I took my whisper white cardstock and a quarter inch off of both the long and short side so that it measured 8.25" X 4" and scored it in half. Next, I used a ruler to draw a nice straight line about an inch from the score line. Normally, I'd use a light pencil line but I used a pen here so you could see well. Then I simply took my paper snips and sniped up to the line. You could get all precise and measure I suppose, so that it's in dead center but....lazy...so I just guesstimated. See, anyone could do this as it's easy-peasy! Then you just poke the little part you cut so that it goes into the card and close it and fold it really well to make the little pop up part. Then you just adhere your little truck and it's done! There's a few different ways to do this kind of card but this is the easiest and quickest in my opinion. You really should try one! Now you're off to check out Miriam van Eyden's SAB awesomeness. You're going to love it! Thanks for hopping with us and happy stamping!

Here is my sample card for this weeks Stampin' Royalty Stripes and Polka Dots Challenge! I fussed a little more than i usually do for this card, but i'm so glad i did! The details make all the difference! I used the brand new Sale-A-Bration set, Tasty Trucks, I also used several retired items, but they just went so well with this card!! I stamped, then cut out the truck, then stamped and cut out the awning separate, used dimensionals on it, then stamped and cut out the banner. I then cut out the window and placed a window sheet and sequins to make it a shaker piece. I also used the Cycle Celebrations (retired) set for the sentiment, and stamped it in Pool Party, then punched it out, then used my markers to individually color the same stamp, then punched that out and layered it on top. I embossed the Pool Party strip using a retired embossing folder, then used the large gray striped paper from the Foxy Friends DSP, and stamped the little ice cream cones in Going Gray (retired) Supplies: Stamps -Tasty Trucks, Cycle Celebrations Ink -Pool Party, Going Gray Cardstock - Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate Accessories - Sequins, Foxy Friends DSP, Window Sheets, Oval Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Needlepoint Border Textured Embossing Folder Wanna visit my facebook page? stop by and give it a 'Like'! https://www.facebook.com/stampineverything

I am in love with this FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Flowering Fields, it comes with 6 flower stamps and a butterfly and the sentiments all come from the new Rose Wonder stamp set. My cards were inspired by the very talented Louise Sharp to make a selection of five cards using the in colours with a matching gift box. The small cute cards measure 3 3/4" square so you can make 3 card bases out of one piece of A4 cardstock. Each card is stamped in Black Stazon ink and then I used the Stampin' Write Markers that match the in colours to colour in the flowers. I made the 4" x 4" x 1/2" gift box using the Envelope Punch Board. The Crafty Owl Box Buster gives you instructions and measurements to make it oh so easy. Stamp Set: Flowering Fields, Rose Wonder Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, In Colour Designer Series Paper Stack Ink: Black Stazon, Stampin' Write Markers Accessories: Envelope Punch Board, Whisper White Baker's Twine The gift box that fits the five cards and envelopes. The five 3 3/4" square cards.
The Springtime Foils Sale-a-Bration paper is so stunning on it's own that it barely requires anything extra. Here, all I've done is chop a 9cm x 11.5cm piece into 3 panels (each 3cm wide). I've added a contrasting strip of the striped pattern across the bottom. My old fave Flower Shop stamp set and Pansy Punch is the perfect focal point, and some Gold Foil leaves finish it off. The base card is Smoky Slate and the sentiment has been embossed in Silver.

Ok, I have made VERY little progress on my Christmas cards this week, because my demonstrator pre-order arrived! All the Spring 2017 Occasions Catalog goodies my little heart could desire (well, a bunch of them anyway!) arrived on my doorstep and totally flattened my plans. They were leveled by many things (new papers! new dies! new embellishments!) but the first thing I had to play with was Tasty Trucks, which has my bet for the most popular Sale-A-Bration set of the year. It's so cute! And I love that this stamp set (get it free beginning January 4th!) comes with...
Hello and here is to a NEW week and a week of fun on Simple Stampin'. Yesterday when I was down at the barn trying to ignore the fact that it was FREEZING I decided to play a game with myself and plan my week of posts for you and I think that you are going to like what I have in store! Now the reason I used this title for today's post is simple....it is a super simple, rather 'Plain Jane' card and trust me....it is a keeper! Now if you name is 'Jane' - please do not
Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlight, I am pushing my boundaries with Flowering Fields today by using colours that don't fit in my comfort zone, I have stamped the basic images and then created a focal point by colouring only image in the circle - let me know what you think! Tangelo Twist and Daffodil Delight - definitely not my normal scene! I added a touch of Calypso Coral and Blackberry Bliss and Wild Wasabi - feeling much better now! Now for Hello Honey, and Mossy Meadow - I wasn't happy with the green so made some of the leaves Wild Wasabi. I gave in! This is more me, whilst not a shade of pink, it is more a subtle colouring, Wisteria Wonder with Wild Wasabi. I have featured the 3 of the sentiments from One Big Meaning , I used the masking technique on two of them. If you just have to have the Flowering Fields stamp set don't hesitate; there is only just under3 weeks of Sale-A-Bration remaining.
