This morning I did my very first Fab Friday Live Chat and Demonstration on my Stamping to Share Facebook Page. It was pretty scary, but I think I will get better with practice . . . I hope! lol! The card I made on the video is a Sneak Peek at one of the cards we […]
Hallihallo, Na een paar hectische weken had ik eindelijk weer eens tijd gehad om te knutselen. Het leuke is dat je als demonstratrice dan ook met de allernieuwste producten kunt werken. De Sale-A-Bration set Party Pandas bijvoorbeeld. Sale-A-Bration Party Pandas Stampin' Up! Deze 7-delige set kun je vanaf 3 januari gratis verkrijgen bij een bestelling vanaf € 60. Ik denk dat het voor niet-demo’s nog 6 lange weken gaan worden voordat ze deze geweldige set kunnen bestellen. Maar ja, zo gaat dat met panda’s. Die zijn nou eenmaal een beetje traag. (-; Sale-A-Bration Party Pandas Stampin' Up! Wil jij ook demo worden? En profiteren van alle voordeeltjes? Bij Margriet (de #1 van Nederland) zit je beregoed. Daarnaast kom je ook nog in een beregezellig team terecht. Gewoon no-noncence, geen schreeuwerige nieuwsbrieven of opdringerige mails. Vrijheid blijheid en vooral heel veel creativiteit vind ik het allerbelangrijkste. Mail of bel me vrijblijvend voor meer info.
Wednesday 21 February 2018 Hello and welcome to our International Blog Highlights for the month of February. I am among Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world being highlighted by Kylie Bertucci and you are able to vote for my project. The theme this month is "Favourite Sale-a-bration or Occasions Catalogue Products". It was hard to chose my favourite as I love practically everything in these catalogues - based on the stash in my craftroom! The Tutti-Frutti DSP is one of my favourite Designer Series Paper, I think because it's fun and fresh. I've teamed it with the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies which are going to be carrying on into the next Annual Catalogue! And here's a close up of each card. I couldn't decide which colour way I like the most so I decided to make two cards! The "celebrate" has been covered glue from the Fine-Tip Glue Pen - it gives it a great shine! Both cards have very similar elements, just a few different embellishments. Thanks for stopping by today. If you like my card please pop over to Kylie Bertucci's blog (using the link below) to vote for me. I really would appreciate it ♥ The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop - how much fun would that be? http://bit.ly/KyliesHighlightsFebruary2018VoteformeHere

Welcome to the first Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop of 2018, where we are all sharing some of the fabulous Sale-A-Bration sets with you
If you haven't selected the Springtime Foils paper as one of your Sale-a-Bration gifts for 2018 yet, I'd highly recommend that you select that on your next order!! It's SO gorgeous!!! See the Springtime Foils paper here. Get is as your free gift with a $50 order in my online Stampin' UP! store! I was stamping with my friend Cindee last week and we were making a ton of cards, and she came across this idea on Facebook, shared by demonstrator Kylie Bertucci in Australia... we knew we immediately had to make this card!!!! It features 2 of
Here is today's attention grabber. Since I had the stamp out for yesterday's Stamp Review Crew blog hop, I threw together this card. (Products used are listed at the bottom.) Love, love, LOVE the sparkly wonderfulness of the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper! Photos just don't do it justice. And that glimmer paper wing? That was an "opportunity for embellishment" that turned out looking better than my original design! On to the craft room organization..... and a reminder. I have included affiliate links to the products that I bought, and recommend, on Amazon. If you click the link and buy something, I get a tiny fraction of a percent of the sale. It helps me support my crafting addiction hobby! This disclaimer is also at the bottom of every page on my blog. For ribbon storage, these bins are so perfect, you'd think they were made specifically for Stampin' Up! ribbon. I mean, seriously, look at how neatly the rolls fit! And the bins stack, too! This is how I store the Washi Tape and Baker's Twine. Again, it's such a perfect fit, it's almost like they were designed just for washi and twine! I have two units, stacked. I keep acrylic blocks, various adhesives, Stampin' Mist, and envelopes in this clear container. The little wooden box beside it holds the stamp scrubbers, Stampin' Pierce mat, and foam pad for the Big Shot Die Brush. My daddy made that box; it's not available for purchase. My ink refills (every color!) fit in this bin in the drawer unit that slides under my desk. I made little chipboard dividers to separate the color families. And, actually, there are two bins stacked in the drawer - the one underneath has the Memento refill, spares of Basic Black Archival, retired colors, etc. Helpful hint: Punch a 1/4" circle of the coordinating colored cardstock and glue it to the top of the ink refill caps. You can tell at a glance which color you are searching for! This is what my happy place looks like! Everything I need is within easy reach of my desk, or within a short scoot of my wheeled office chair. I love being able to see everything, but not if it's a jumbled clutter. I have one Big Shot on my desk, set up for dies with the magnetic platform. The other "Mr. Big" is in front of the ink pad storage unit, and is set up for embossing folders. The ink pads and punches are in Stamp n' Storage units, with stamp cases stored on top. My hubby had to put up an extra shelf for the stamp cases. *grin* I'm saving the paper storage reveal for another time because it's still a work in progress.

It's our favorite time of year - SALE-A-BRATION, and My Inky Friends have cooked up a fun hop showcasing some of the great items you can earn for FREE with a qualifying order. Holly over at The Rubber Redneck was before me, so you may have landed here from her page. If you follow the links at the bottom, you can take the whole tour! I chose Lovely Lattice because, well....flowers! And coloring! As soon as I saw this stamp set, it zipped to the top of my SAB "must have" list. I wanted to show off the image on the clean gingham background, but I sure didn't want to fussy cut the whole thing! Using my Stampin' Trimmer, I cut just up to the image, which left about half - the EASY half - to fussy cut, 'cuz I'm smart like that, LOL! After it was colored and cut, I put Mr. Big to work with the Subtle embossing folder to give the image a bit of texture. Once it was mounted on the gingham background, I slipped the greeting from Well Said under and adhered it all to the card base. (I figured since flu season is upon us, I'm probably going to need a get well card soon.) Some Gingham Gala sequins were added for a bit of sparkle. It sure is easy to use those adhesive-backed embellishments! When the card was complete, the envelope flap was dressed up with the single flower stamp that's part of the set. That's all from me today. I had other ideas, but Mom is visiting, so I didn't have time to make them a reality. Up next is Staci Miserlian, who is featuring Precious Parcel.

Is there such a thing as a masculine card with flowers? Stampin' Up's Sale-A-Bration "Amazing You" stamp set has a flower that produced a masculine card. At least, I think so. I
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.

My Demonstrator pre-order for the upcoming Occasions Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Brochure arrived. Whoo Hoo, and I did a little creating with the Amazing You stamp set and Celebrate You Thinlits so t
This was one of the Sale-a-Bration sets that I thought I wouldn't want or need, until I took a closer look at the sentiments. There are greetings that cover love, friendship, thanks, and sympathy....quite a spectrum. So, I went ahead and chose it for my free SAB item. It wasn't even in the house 24 hours when I needed to make a sympathy card. (Gosh, there have been a lot of those recently.) I found that when using the DistINKtive stamps, I get a much better image if I ink the stamp using a sponge dauber, rather than pressing the stamp on the ink pad. Because they are so finely detailed, the ink tends to get in the grooves and mess up the details. A light inking with a sponge dauber works quite well for me! For good measure, I huff on the stamp before pressing it on the cardstock. The soon-to-be-available Rectangle Stitched Framelits were used here, but I shortened both the image and the greeting panels. How, you ask? Easy! After cutting the image and the greeting (with both of them placed close to one side of the Framelit), I popped them out and then moved the Framelit over to cut off the part I didn't want. You can feel when the "teeth" fit into the previously cut stitches, so it lines up perfectly. Feed the cardstock through the Big Shot with the part you want cut off going in first. You only need the make sure the first part goes through (don't crank it all the way through!), then back it out. Here's another tip: Cut a mask by stamping on a sticky note and trimming just inside the edges of the image. Make sure some of the masked image is showing when you stamp the next layer because the stamp won't reach right up to the mask, leaving a gap as shown between the two larger lilies. I did better when I stamped the smaller lily. As pretty as this card turned out, I sure hope it's a long time before I need to make another one.

Hi, I’m back with another card using the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. I hope you don’t…
It's time for the Stamp Review Crew: Sale-A-Bration edition. For my card today, I selected the Sale-A-Bration set, Lots of Lavender. Enjoy!
Well, the Occasions catalog and SAB have been in full swing for a couple weeks now, and we just can't get enough of the awesome new products! I'm first on the Tour de Freaks blog hop, but you may have landed here from Wendy's Wickedly Wonderful Creations blog. Weren't her creations awesome?! Just follow the links to see all five participating blogs. I knew immediately which set I wanted to use - HOME TO ROOST. It's in the Sale-a-Bration flyer on page 11. You see, I'm a crazy chicken lady even though I don't have any chickens....YET. I used to have them about 30 years ago, and I WILL get some this year, by golly! Anyhooo, I loved the rooster image and knew it would be fun to color with Stampin' Blends. I managed to get the iridescent look on his tail feathers by starting with Bermuda Bay, then adding Night of Navy and Basic Black over it. He sure is a handsome 'roo! For the next card, I just wanted to use the wheat image. It was stamped in Pear Pizzazz, with Mossy Meadow stamped over. The greetings included in this set are a lovely group of "just because" stamps, don't you think? The Old Olive Linen Thread and Braided Linen Trim worked well together. I thought about coloring the Braided Linen with a Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blend, but then thought it looked fine just as it is on the Crumb Cake DSP. Up next is Kelly Acheson, at A Stamp Above. I can't wait to see what she's made!
