My Top 5 Sale-a-bration Products

Sale-a-bration ends tomorrow!  I've really enjoyed the free products I've earned this year.  Here are my Top 5.

Heartfelt Blooms didn't grab my attention right away, but after seeing a few examples made with it, I was hooked!  The details on this stamp are amazing.

Lots of Lavender, on the other hand, I fell for immediately!  I love it's simplicity.

I love the three pack of shimmer ribbon!  The Calypso Coral Ribbon was the perfect thing to use to string my Easter Banner together.

On Stampin' Up!'s second release of products for Sale-a-bration, I was totally taken by the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.  I was able to order it early as a demonstrator. On these cards, I also used a must have from the first release...The Celebrate You Thinlit Dies.  Lucky us!  These two products will be available when the new catalog launches in June!

So there are the top five products I fell in love with and used the most from this year's Sale-a-bration offerings.  It's not too late to order and earn free products or to join my team to start your own business or just be a happy shopper with great perks and discounts!  Click here to check out either option!  It ends March 31st so don't wait!

Have a very Happy Easter!  

Happy Crafting!

Happy Easter Banner

I am so excited to share this project with you!  It's one I've wanted to try for awhile.  One thing I discovered after making it, however, is that it is difficult to photograph well.  Here's what I have so far.

What do you think?  Here's a closer look at the word "Happy".

You can see the details better in this picture.

How did I make this?  Well, I used my Large Letter Dies to cut out "Happy Easter" in Melon Mambo Cardstock using the Big Shot.  I then used the large oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies to make the colored "eggs" using the Painted With Love Designer Series Paper.  Next, I used the large Layering Oval to make the frilly background for the "eggs" using Calypso Coral Cardstock.  I used Fast Fuse and Dimensionals to adhere the "egg" pieces together.  I stitched the ends of a piece of Calypso Coral Ribbon from the Sale-a-bration Brochure Ribbon Pack so it will hang on the wall.  Finally, I used mini clothespins to attach the "eggs".  Ta-da!

Only 19 days left to get almost $200 in Stampin' Up! products for only $99 and free shipping during Sale-a-bration!  Everything you (or your friends) order after that is discounted 20% or more.  No obligations!  Only opportunities!  More information here.

Other offers during Sale-a-bration are also leaving soon.  Until March 31st, you get to select free product for every $50 you spend.  If your order (or you and your friends) is $250 or more, you earn $25 extra in Stampin' Rewards.  That would meant at least $50 in free products plus the Sale-a-bration items you earned.

Part 2 of my sampler class is this Thursday from 7-10pm at the Senior Center in Circle.  Here's what my daughter has done on hers so far.  Cost of the class is $15.  It does not include the 12x12 frame.  You are welcome to come make cards with the supplies also.  Cards are $3 each.

Coffee and Card is next Wednesday at the Lunch Box in Circle from 2-5.  Stop in anytime and order a drink from Billie, then make a card or 2 with me! Cards are $3 each.

Hope to craft with you soon!

Happy Anniversary to me!

Heartfelt Blooms

I love the Heartfelt Blooms Sale-a-bration stamp set.  It is so versatile!  I have used it for the get-well card below and a thinking of you card too.  It could be used as a beautiful birthday card as well.

I stamped the floral stamp on white, then fuzzy cut the bouquet.  I also randomly stamped the bouquet on the card base. I stamped Sorry from the Sorry for Everything stamp set on Whisper White cardstock.  I used three strips of the Whisper White Organza Ribbon behind the Sorry.  I mounted both parts using dimensionals.

For the inside, I stamped a corner with the bouquet stamp and added a sentiment from the Sorry for Everything set.

On this card, I used the retiring Sweet Sugarplum ribbon and ink along with Crumb Cake cardstock and ink.  I also used a gold faceted gem.

This wonderful set is only available until the end of this month.  To earn it, you must place a $50 order.  To celebrate my 6th anniversary this month, I am sending everyone who orders $50 or more, a free spool of Whisper White Organza Ribbon.
