Be Mine!

Happy Friday!!

Here we go, spreading some more love!!  Won't ya BE MINE?

This card uses the Bubble & Fizz SAB DSP with the fun hearts in the background and Fresh Florals DSP Stack for the soft florals on the left edge!  The stamp sets are Heart Happiness and Bloomin Love.  Accents like the 1/8" Gold Ribbon and the Metallic Gold Doilies give this card some gorgeousness!  Yet so soft but lovely combination!

Thanks and let me know what you think about the "PS Just For You" card shares?  Are you liking them?  I find with myself working full days on Tue, Wed, Thurs during the week, it makes it a little hard to get everything done by myself.  But in the end, you're here for inspiration and I am participating in this group of ~50 leading demonstrators to help my business.  So I hope you like the variety!  But I would love to hear whether you enjoy it or prefer to see just my original artwork, so drop me a comment and let me know!

Have a great weekend!

Sure Do Love You!

Happy hump day!!!

Did you hear it that way because you know I said it that way when I typed it!  Well we will keep going with the Sure Do Love You stamp set!  This is so striking because of the fabulous DSP!  The Painted with Love Specialty DSP has gold foil in it and such bright and brilliant swoops of color!  It's a paper that begs to be hoarded but brings so much joy to life once you cut into it!  Do you hoard your prettiest paper too?

Sure Do Love You and Painted with Love Specialty DSP and the Lots to Love Box Framelit dies for the banner and the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits dies.  This card just makes me so happy!  And the DSP does all the work!  Seriously!

Ahhhh, so happy!

Card or Framed Art?

Hello!

So glad to have you popping in today!  I have another card with the Sure Do Love You stamp set that's sure to inspire you to create a special Valentine's your own special someone!!  It is so striking, you just wanna touch it!

It is another card share from my PS Just For You co-op group!  I hope you like it!

Is this a card or a framed piece of art?  Right!!  This features the same Sure Do Love You stamp set and the Brusho Crystals!  Created in a completely different way!  Here the image is stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder.  Then the Brusho Crystals are sprinkled over top, spritzed with water in a stampin spritzer and then use an aqua painter to achieve the brushstroke swipes!  Finishing touches of black and gold to create a masterpiece!

Have a great day!

Rhonda

You're My Valentine!

Hello

As we prepare for Valentine's I wanted to share with you some ideas that feature the SURE DO LOVE YOU stamp set from the Occasions catalog.  Each month I work along with several other SU! demonstrators in a Project Ideas Co-Op and I have struggled to actually use the ideas that I have access too... so this month I have decided I will share them here to help inspire you!

This card features Sure Do Love you and the Star of Light stamp sets along with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and Lots to Love Box Framelits - - - and a touch of the new Brusho Crystals!  Super adorable and so sparkly with the Glimmer Paper too!

Hoping you have a great day!

Hello from WeStamp January Regional

Hello there!

Well today I was a guest presenter at my dear friend Lorri's team meeting that she does quarterly.  It was so fun, she even let me bring a few of my team that were available to go, so we made a fun day of it!

Here's sweet Lorri, welcoming all of us to the day and sharing the agenda!

Look at all of these cute little fun items waiting for us at our table spot!  The theme for her January event was "picnic".  I think she nailed it!  From the tables, the food and the little details too!

And guess who was the first presenter of the morning!  Yup that was a quick few minutes to be ready!!  But I love her and for this presentation I challenged myself to use a product that I normally don't gravitate towards.  So my presentation focus was the Memories & More Cards and I featured the Petal Passion Card pack.

It was so well received what you could do with one card pack and a few colors and repeating the same embellishments!  I am hosting a class in my studio and I'll post the details for that tomorrow!  Actually I had to postpone the class because the M&M Card Pack was temporarily on back order!

And we could participate in an organized swap and she had about 22, so we split into two groups of 11.  And your 12th card goes up on a Swap Display board and she has them vote for Favorite Swap and has a special door prize for the winner!

And the winner was our very own Cindy Sheldon!  She made this card pack for each one of her swaps!  Holy Cow!  Lucky me, I was in the same swap group!

I'll be back tomorrow with a few more fun pics!  One of her team runs a photo booth machine type of set up so we had fun taking a few pics!  And I'll share the make n takes we made as well, so come back for more!

Sweet Sweet Demo Support

Hi!
Have you ever worked with a group of people that can make or break your day?  Isn't it wonderful when you receive great customer service?  Isn't it great when you can make their day by saying Thank You?

At Stampin' Up! corporate offices we have a crew of people that work in our Customer Service & Demonstrator Services department and they are simply amazing!  They take our calls, listen, log and diligently try to make the best of every situation that they can to help us make it right.  It's not always easy and especially this year with the Blendabilities manufacturing issue & the West Coast dock strike which has caused a tremendous amount of product delays and shortages which result in back orders or worse, having to place certain products on a non-order status.  The call volume they are handling has certainly increased!

So to say thank you to them, I am sharing a couple of cards from my teams February Shoe Box swap meeting that I don't think I have shared on my blog yet.  THANK YOU to our amazing Support Service team members!!  #weloveDS  #stampinup

Thanks for stopping by today!

Ah, a couple more!!

Howdy!
Well I found a couple more swap cards from the December team meeting to share with you.  I did not received these personally (dang it!, I want them ALL!) so I just found them on my cell phone!  But at least I can still share them with you!

These were swapped by Kathya and Virginia I believe!  I don't have them to check the backside but I think they are the ones who made them - lemme know and I can correct it if I got it wrong!

Swapped by Kathya Hidalgo

Swapped by Virginia Hudon

Kathya used several new items on her card!

New Fresh Prints DSP from the Occasions Mini Catalog

New Stamp set from the Whole Lot of Love Promotion and the new SAB banner punch!













And equally as impressive, Virginia used the new Sprial Flower Die for the Big Shot to make this fabulous 3d rose flower!

And I think this is Strawberry Slush and Baked Brown Sugar color combination too!  Just a hint of Pink Pirouette on the focal stamping image.

I can remember drooling over both of these and sadly handing them back as I would have to settle for taking a picture!











See Stampers do make the best friends!  Okay, well I have to go, so I best sign off and hurry along!

Thanks again for stopping by!

Valentine's Day cards day 3!

Howdy!

You're back for more!  Yeah!!  Well we have a little bit of Valentine's and then there will be a few that are more along the lines of Friendship.  I hope you enjoy the cards!!  Since I am still getting things ready I am going to try to keep things quick!  I can hear my best buddy Diana in my head saying "just do one card a day and keep it simple and you'll get it done" ... so I am keeping it quick but you're still getting double the samples!!


These cards were shared by Anne & Donna!  Thank you ladies!  I love the background panel on Anne's card and the single Heart Flower (see single item stamps, part of the Valentine's Whole Lot of Love promo!)  and I love the crispness of Donna's color combination! 

Swapped by Anne Howe

Swapped by Donna Del Toro

Happy Stamping, and thanks for stopping by!  A couple more swaps to share with you tomorrow and then I will switch it up to share some things from the NEW Occasions Mini Catalog with you!!  I host a swap for every new catalog with my team, so I have a few to share while I am gone (assuming I can get some posts written ahead of time - see Diana, I really am trying!).

Cheer-i-o!!

Valentine's Swaps, round 2

Hi there!

Hope you are having a great weekend!  It'll be a couple of crazy days as I get ready for my team meeting and then to leave for the annual Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference in Houston!  yikes, why is there always so much to do and so little time... or more like why do I always procrastinate!  Always trying to squeeze more things into the day!

So to be quick, here's a couple more Valentine's Swap cards from my Dec team meeting!  Enjoy!

These were shared by Tari and Beth!

Swapped by Tari Lochhead

Swapped by Beth Walters

I love how both of these cards have surprise folds!  Tari used the Thinlit Flip Card Framelits and the other side reveals a secret message.  And Beth creatively has a 1/2 panel as the front of her card with the focal images laying over into the open area ... but when you open it, there's a hidden greeting inside as well!  Nicely done ladies!


Have a great day!
Rhonda

Valentine's Swaps!

Hi!

Well I spent some time setting up my light box and tried to take several pictures today and edit and watermark them ... so they will be ready to share!  Hopefully the picture quality will be better!  :)

Also, even though I have placed my watermark on these, it does not mean that I stamped them.  These will be the swap cards that the demonstrators on my team stamped and swapped at my meeting in December.  If you see something that looks like yours, then please consider it a compliment that someone enjoyed your card enough to want to make it themselves and share it.  If it is yours, please send me an email or note and I can add your name for credit as well. 

So to share the love, here we go with swaps from Marjori and Marlene!

Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by & see you again tomorrow I hope!

Hi!

Thanks for stopping by to see what's next!  It's one of the Valentine's Treat Bags that is available as a special promotion right now!  They are so cute, quick and easy, did I mention FAST and ADORABLE!   Everything comes ready to go and you just add a little ink, pop in a treat and tah-dah!

First, sorry my pic isn't great, really should retake it and repost...  will try to get a better picture!  The banner tag comes pre-printed with stripes in Pool Party and Pool Party bakers twine along with the Real Red treat bags


Sweetheart Treat Bags
Love you More stamp set

extra's
Coastal Cabana cardstock
1-1/4" scallop circle punch
Whisper White cardstock
1" circle punch
Real Red ink

I used Coastal Cabana as it matched the other projects we were doing but easily could have used Pool Party to tie in with the stripes and twine.
