Wow! The response to yesterday’s Be Inspired Blog How was phenomenal. I was so happy to be a part of that talented and super-fun group and look forward to sharing more with you in the coming months. We showcased great Sale-a-Bration products yesterday (if you missed my Valentine’s Day treat bag with the Tasty Truck photopolymer stamp set, you can see it here) – and you can hop through all the others, too. What fun! …
Welcome to the inaugural blog hop for the Be Inspired Design Team – a newly formed group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world who are excited to share our projects with you. If you aren’t starting the hop here, then you probably just arrived from Australia where you visited with my dear friend, Louise Sharp at louisesharp.com. What a talent! Our first Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop features projects from Stampin’…
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Stampin’ Up!’s Sealed with Love bundle gives us all the goodies we need to make a fun Valentine’s Day card for those we love. As I showed yesterday, you can make a sophisticated love note (see that card here), but you can also keep it fun. With the addition of Bermuda Bay, you can make this bundle of heart-themed products perfect for a man or a woman. I…
In yesterday’s post, I showcased the “for you” sentiment from Stampin’ Up!’s Birthday Blooms stamp set for a 3-D gift box – if you missed that post, you can see it here. While the stamp set was out on my desk, I decided to use the flower from the same set to make a sweet Valentine’s Day Card. I made this card with inspiration from the Paper Players (clean-and-simple with a flower) and Cas(E) This…
You didn’t think you needed to get the Cupcakes & Carousels Embellishment Kit – neither did I. When I had a little gift to wrap for a friend, though, I was glad I could quickly reach for the tag, pop poms and beautiful ombre ribbon to decorate the box. The kraft box stayed plain, but the three items from the embellishment kit and beautiful flower from the Succulent Framelit Dies turned the box into a…
My local stamp club met yesterday – always a good time. When I sat down to design the cards I made with them, I didn’t realize how apropos this card would be. I wanted to showcase the Beautiful You stamp set and Stampin’ Up!’s new watercolor pencils with the group. I didn’t know we’d have one of the most aggressive rain spells while we were there. I’ll start by saying that the club members were…
On my way out of town last week, I needed a quick and easy birthday card. I knew that Big on Birthdays, a new stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Occasions Catalog, would give me a big, bold sentiment I needed to make this card special. I reached into the 2016 Annual Catalog for a special paper to make my birthday salutation pop – Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card: Tips,…
Before I share today’s project, I want to give a big “thanks!” to Cindy Hall at Freshly Made Sketches who chose my Basket of Spring Daffodils card as her pick for last week’s challenge. Great choice, Cindy! 🙂 I love these challenges and find so much inspiration in them – so I always play along when I can. It’s always nice, though, to be recognized by the design team. Thanks, Cindy! If you missed that…
There’s something so special about this time of year. Not only are we excited about all the new products available in the 2017 Occasions Catalog, but we are also able to earn amazing and exclusive Sale-a-Bration products (you can pick one of twelve items for every $50 you spend). To learn more about Sale-a-Bration, click here. Does it get any better than that?! I don’t want you to overlook any of the seven, exclusive stamp…
Many of my Stampin’ Up! team members (not just those with blogs) share their gorgeous projects in our team’s Facebook community – there’s such amazing and inspiring creativity in this group! I’m always excited when my team’s blog hop rolls around, though, because I get to share some of their amazing work with you. I’m just as excited to see their projects as you are, and I am proud to share them with you. Guest…
