Facebook Live: Hey Love Treat

For this week's Facebook Live, I thought I would point out a feature of the online store you might not have noticed. It is the section called Project Ideas. Here, you can see a variety of sample projects, and each one has all of the products you need to make that project. You can even purchase all of them together under one ordering code!




So the project I put together uses the Hey Love stamp set, and isn't it cute?




I think this is the perfect treat packaging for anyone you want to give a sweet treat to on Valentine's Day. If you want to make this project too, you can order everything you need here.


Then I decided to add in a few additional colors and use more of the cute animals in the stamp set.





Which one is your favorite?

Stamps: Hey Love
Ink: Memento Black, plus Light Flirty Flamingo, Dark and Light Smoky Slate, and Dark and Light Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends
Paper: Whisper White Thick
Accessories & Tools: 2 x 8" Cello Bags, Night of Navy Medium Baker's Twine


Happy Stamping!

Facebook Live: Meant to Be Non-Valentine's Card

For yesterday's Facebook Live, I thought I would use the Meant to Be Bundle for a non-Valentine's Day card. The beautiful Botanical Butterfly paper made it easy!

Add in the Whisper White cardstock, Rectangle Stitched Framelits, some Gold Foil, and Gingham Gala Sequins, and you'll have spent enough for two rewards. If you choose the Botanical Butterfly DSP and the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack, you'll have everything you need to recreate this card!

#TGIFC194: Happy Valentine's Day!

I feel like I am still stuck on Christmas, but here we are less than a month away from Valentine's Day. I decided to get a start on my Valentine's cards by using the sketch challenge at TGIF Challenges this week.

Both Valentine bundles this year are gorgeous, but the Be Mine Stitched Framelits called to me (just like anything stitched does!). I used the coordinating Meant to Be stamp set, All My Love DSP, and that beautiful Lovely Lipstick Foil from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. 

There are lots of little details on this card - I tried to use as many pieces of the Meant to Be Bundle as I could! Comment and let me know which detail you like the most.

Stamps: Meant to Be
Ink: Balmy Blue, Lovely Lipstick
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Lovely Lipstick Foil (SAB), All My Love DSP
Accessories & Tools: Be Mine Stitched Framelits, Rectangle Stitched Framelits, Big Shot, Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins, Pearls, All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack, White Baker's Twine


Happy Stamping!

Facebook Live: Hello Cupcake Card

Today I am sharing the card I created for this week's Facebook Live. It came together pretty quickly, because I used a sample from the demonstrator magazine as my inspiration. (Getting this magazine quarterly is just one of the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! Click here to learn more.)



This cute little cupcake makes the best birthday cards, don't you think? The Hello Cupcake stamp set is free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. Shop and get yours today!

Flowering Desert Desk Calendar

Flowering Desert is my favorite stamp set in the new Occasions Catalog! I am using it to slowly make desk calendars for my customers. I followed the template Erica Cerwin uses - a piece of 4 1/4 x 11" cardstock, folded in half. Then add a piece of 4 x 4" cardstock scored at 1/2", 2", and 3 1/2". That piece just adds stability and helps the calendar stand up better. On this calendar, I used our Thick Whisper White cardstock, which I think works really well! The calendar is from Taylored Expressions.




You might also notice the shiny paper I used on the scalloped oval. That is the Grapefruit Grove Foil Paper, one of the Level 1 Sale-A-Bration choices. It is seriously shiny! I also used the Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins. Although these are both Grapefruit Grove, I thought the shine gave them more of a pinkish hue, so I went with Flirty Flamingo for the ribbon and the sentiment. I love how Stampin' Up! stuff always matches!


Stamps: Flowering Desert
Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green
Paper: Thick & Regular Whisper White, Grapefruit Grove Foil (SAB), Brights 6 x 6" DSP
Accessories & Tools: Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins, Layering Ovals Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Big Shot, All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack


Happy Stamping!

Sorry for the poor quality of this picture. It's been chilly and cloudy this week, and I've been sick with a cold, so I didn't venture outside like I usually do to take my photos. I couldn't let the last day of the Holiday Catalog go by without sharing this cutie, though!
