It's Sale-a-Bration Time!

Today is the FIRST day of Sale-a-Bration!!!  Have you seen the new Sale-a-Bration catalog?  There are MANY cute exclusive stamp sets inside AND many catalog products that can be "redeemed" as your free Sale-a-Bration items!  Things like fabric, embossing folders, buttons, stamps, and MORE!  It's a great time to make your purchases because for EVERY $50 you order, you can select one item!!

And if you are a hostess, you get even more bonuses!  You'll earn all the same benefits as a customer for your orders, PLUS receive a free shopping tote, and an exclusive hostess bundle when your workshop is $400 or more.  All this is on top of the regular hostess benefits!!!

And if that is not enough, it is also a great time to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!!  YOu can join Stampin' Up! for the low investment of $125 and you'll receive a starter kit to help you get your business off the ground!  You will also receive a free pack of DSP or a free download every month for the rest of the year that you place an order!!  Awesome deal, right???

Without further ado, I wanted to share a sample with you!  This card uses the Elementary ELegance stamp set, which can be yours FREE with a $50 purchase!!!

Stamps: Elementary Elegance
Cardstock: Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder
Ink: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, and Wisteria Wonder
Accessoreis: Curly Label Punch, Pool Party 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon

Will this be the FREE set you select when you place your Sale-a-Bration order??

Sweet Summer Sample

I just have a few minutes for a REALLY quick post today.  I'm trying really hard to get my taxes finished TODAY!!  (And you can imagine how much fun that must be!!)

But I didn't want to leave you loyal blog readers with nothing to read today!!  This is another card made by a talented member of my downline, Donna!  This was another swap card I got at our downline stamp night earlier this month.

Donna makes lots of beautiful cards (and you should see what she can do with fabric!!) and this is no exception!  The Perfect Plum and Whisper White are so elegant together, and when you add the pearls, it's just so pretty!  She used another Sale-a-Bration stamp set - Sweet Summer.  If that is a set you might like, you have just 9 more days to order it - otherwise it's gone for good!!!

Wish me luck with my mountain of paperwork!!  See you tomorrow!

A Sale-a-Bration Swap

Last week I held a downline get-together where we just actually took the time to STAMP!  That's all we did - stamp & chat.  We didn't even eat or drink anything!!  And it was great!

I received a couple adorable cards, so I wanted to share one from Jessica, a new demonstrator in my downline.  It uses the Ice Cream Parlor paper & accents pack with a splash of So Happy for You.

Tonight & tomorrow nights are my Club nights, so I am looking forward to seeing all my fun clubbers.  Enjoy your day and I'll see you tomorrow!

So Happy For You - Birthday Wishes

Just a simple birthday card today!  This was one we made at stamp club last month.  It uses the Sale-a-Bration set, So Happy For You.  This set is only available through the end of this month, so if it's one you are interested in, be sure to get it before it's gone forever!!

I saw a card similar to this when I stopped in to visit a demo friend of mine, Dale.  I can't remember exactly how her card was made, but it was similar to this.  I think I liked her card more, but since I can't remember exactly what it looked like, I'm not sure how to improve it.

I have a busy week ahead of me - and I also want to squeeze in a trip to the city to see my brand new baby niece.  My sister-in-law had a baby yesterday. (I told you there were lots of babies coming in my future.)

If you are coming to my Stamp Camp on Thursday, I will see you then!!  It's going to be a great class!!!

Have a happy Tuesday!

 

Pure Bliss...

This card is pure Bliss, as in it only uses the Bliss Stamp Set, one of the FREE Sale-a-Bration choices you can make when you purchase $50 in Stampin' Up! products!!  I love the look of this monochromatic card - it's classic, classy, and looks expensive!!  It would make a graet wedding card, anniversary card, or just a simple note card.  It also uses the very popular Framed Tulips embossing folder, available in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Hope you enjoyed today's sample!  We are enjoying more beautiful weather today - lots of melting going on!!!  Come back tomorrow for a new scrapbook page!!!

Happy Moments Thank You

I think Happy Moments is the Sale-a-Bration set I have used the most.  Here is another card where I also used the Shades of Spring DSP and the Sale-a-Bration Scallop Edge Border Punch.  It's a simple & easy card, and a card sketch that I often use.

There is only one week left of Sale-a-Bration, so if you haven't earned all of the sets you had wanted, you should do that now!!!  :)  You can place your order right on my Online Store.

A Study in Happy Moments

I'm sure you remember my Studies in Extreme Skateboarding, right??  Well, here is a very quick study in the Sale-a-Bration set Happy Moments.  It's such a cute set and makes quick & easy cards.  One day I sat down with the thought in mind to make SIMPLE, QUICK and EASY cards, and in literally 10 minutes, I had all these completed!!

At first I wanted to show a simple, one-layer birthday card, then I stepped one of them up with just 2 more layers and ribbon, then I decided to show one with a different theme.

 

   

Pretty quick and easy, huh??
