Love What You Do, Thank You!

Hello and happy Friday!

I hope you enjoyed the BLOG HOP yesterday, if not and you missed it that's okay you can just go back one post and catch it today!

I have another card to share with you today from the display samples, it's a pretty quick and easy card!

Can you tell I am kind of in LOVE with the Dynamic TIEF - used it double time on each outer edge of the card.  A quick and simple greeting stamped in the center, added the little Floral Image from the MAKE A DIFFERENCE ALPHABET set, colored in with our Stampin' Blends, a pop of pearls and a little twine bow!  Pop that up with a 1/2 of the Pearlized Doilies underneath and then a final layer of black to bring it all together!

I'm off to Tucson to watch my baby girl Rachel dance tonight!  She is part of the University of Arizona, Black and Blue Hip Hop Crew and it's performance night!

Have a great weekend everyone and see ya next week!

Love What You Do, Favorite!

Hi!

I wanted to continue to share some of my samples from our Love What You Do product suite with you!  Today is probably one of my absolute true favorites!

Let me know what you think!

This card uses a little bit of everything in the product suite!  It features the Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder in the background on Whisper White Thick card stock - in person this really pops and you can't help but reach to touch it!  

I also fell in love with the blue/green floral page and immediately went old school with fussy cutting as many bits and pieces (save em all!) and some full images of florals and leaves too!  I added some DSP to the bottom portion of the card and a band of Tranquil Tide ribbon, which kind of framed the card.  

I stamped the greeting and then used the ever popular (and always on stand by!) Stitched Shapes Framelits to cut out the greeting with the square, and then lined it up a 2nd time to trim it down a bit to make it a rectangle just the size I needed.

I tucked the greeting under the ribbon and then started layering bits and pieces of the floral cut outs and leaves.  Vary the heights by using mini glue dots and dimensionals.  Once secure, I finished it off by adding some Artisan Pearls here and there!

Labor of Love with the fussy cutting, but it was so worth it!

Hugs,

Happy Hump day!

Happy Spring Break, wow that was a busy week off!  Thanks for letting me enjoy it!  Back now with a few updates to share!

SALE-A-BRATION
We are in our last two weeks of our annual promotion and due to the untimely discontinuation of the Blendabilities Markers which were available as a SAB choice, Stampin' Up! has stated that ALL SAB items are available while supplies last (except for stamp sets).  In addition to the 4 NEW exclusive SAB choices that were announced on Mar 1st, they have also announced some additional catalog merchandise that may be selected when choosing your FREE SAB items.

WEEKLY DEALS
It's Tuesday so that means NEW Weekly Deals!! Here you go, some adorable embossing folders, I have a hard time making a card without using one!!  Which is your favorite?

Other Announcements were made today with regards to a couple of other products / programs that Stampin' Up! has evaluated and deemed that they are no longer going to offer these after May 31st, 2015.

MY DIGITAL STUDIO:
My Digital Studio software, digital downloads, print products and support.
*If you have purchased the software and any downloads, please ensure that you actually download the items to your computer and do a back up!!
*If you have any projects that you are currently working on with plans to print through the SU print house, please complete those quickly!!
*Digital items will no longer be available through the Stampin' Up! store, so if there is other digital artwork (stamp sets, dsp, kits, embellishment, etc) please make sure to order (& download) these while you can.
*You may continue to use the software and downloads that you have purchased on your own, with e-cutters, etc afterward but going forward there will be no online or software support or training, videos etc.

HISPANIC MARKET:
The Spanish Celebrando Creatividad catalog and offering of translated stamp sets will be available only through the end of May.  There are other changes with this program but they impact the demonstrator side of business.

While today has several announcements please be confident that Stampin' Up! is constantly evaluating the success of its programs and product offerings to ensure that they are always bringing us the best.  Although change is sometimes frustrating and hard, it is also necessary to move forward to see what NEW offerings they can bring us.  Also please note that they do not make these decisions lightly, this is after much consideration and review.

Happy St Patrick's Day today too!!  Go stamp something GREEN!

Spring Fling, Birthday Cake

Happy Friday!!

You did it!!  You made it all week and to the end of the Spring Fling Projects too!  I hope you have enjoyed seeing what we designed and prepared for our guests.  It was a great day, the feedback we have received was all in favor of a nice assortment of projects, good mix of difficulty and what can we say, they LOVE making cards but we love to throw in a few gift packaging ideas too!!

Here ya go!!  This features the Big Day SAB stamp set and the Blendabilities markers, the Artisan kit and the Big Dot TIEF to pump up the background!

There ya have it, all the projects and a recap of everything they made!  I will have to find my pictures of everything they received in their cute Hot Pink AZ INKers goodie bag!  That picture was equally amazing too!  We try to maximize every penny back into the day and into the projects and we hope they feel special and spoiled, our way of THANKING THEM for trusting in us to deliver them an awesome day of stamping!

Have a great weekend!  Hopefully I will be back with more to share!

Spring Fling, Artisan Stencil

Hi and welcome back!

I will continue on with some more of the projects that they got to make!  These two cards feature the Stencil from the Artisan Kit embellishment box.  Both have Sahara Sand card bases, with a panel layer of Sahara Sand that has been embossed with the Small Polka Dots embossing folder.  They also each have a few of the soft pink rose trim and about a 1/3 of a doily.  The greeting is from the Lotus Blossom SAB stamp set, one stamped in Black ink and the other card with Sahara Sand ink.

Sponged Rose Chalk ink through the Stencil onto the white cardstock layer
We sponged onto a layer and then trimmed and mounted to a 2nd layer of white as a frame
Several of our guests just stamped on the 'frame' layer and skipped the extra step!

Stencil has the white side (other side is Sahara Sand) facing up,
layered over a piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock

Thanks for stopping in today!  Have a great day!
