Heal Your Heart Card Class

I have some fun surprises for you today! Sale-a-bration may be over, but I earned some extra rewards, and I'm going to share them with you!

First up, an ordering special for March - spend at least $40 before tax & shipping, and I'll send you a 6" x 6" sampler package of the Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-bration. It will include 36 sheets (pictured below)! You must use the host code 3MT9TMXJ.

 

Second, I have 3 Punch Party stamp sets (the host exclusive stamp set from Sale-a-bration). One is gently used, the other two are brand new. The first three people to place an order of $150 or more this month will get one of them! I will also send you a package of the paper if it is still available, AND you'll earn your own host rewards (free money to spend!). If you choose this option, do NOT use the host code.

 

This ordering special will be good March 1-31, or while supplies last.

You can shop here.

And here is my last Sale-a-bration surprise! I have been collecting extras of the Heal Your Heart stamp set, and I'm excited to offer you a card class with it. This class is only $30 (plus shipping), and you'll get the stamp set for free! (If you already own the stamp set, you can purchase this class too! There is a place to note that in the registration form so that I know not to put one in your kit. Supplies are limited, so don't wait to sign up!

Beautiful Autumn Card & Card Club Sneak Peek

Hello! Did you have a good Labor Day weekend? My kids had both Friday and Monday off of school, and we worked on building furniture (new beds for the boys) and moving things around so that eventually my 2-year-old can move into the toddler bed and out of her crib. We're procrastinating on that step and if you've ever had a toddler you know how fun (or not!) it is to keep them in a bed they can climb right out of! 

I have a new card to share with you today. I wasn't able to get much crafting done over the weekend, but this card was brewing in my mind and so it went together quickly this afternoon.

 

 

I used the Beautiful Autumn Bundle, the Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP, and a few embellishments from the Annual Catalog. I fussy cut some of the gold and copper leaves from the paper - isn't it pretty?

 

If you like this card, you may also like my monthly card club kit this month. I am featuring the same bundle and paper, and you'll create a set of pretty notecards. 

 

If you're interested in the club, you can find out more and sign up here.

 

Here's a list of supplies for today's card:

Stamps: Beautiful Autumn

Ink: Early Espresso

Paper: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP

Embellishments: Gilded Gems, Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack, In Good Taste Elements

Tools: Tasteful Labels Dies

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

 

Happy Stamping!

Ornate Garden Sliding Gift Box

Hello, and happy teacher appreciation week! As a former teacher, I always have a lot of fun spoiling my kids' teachers for holidays like this one. This year, it looks a little bit different since the kids haven't been at school. I still wanted to do something to say thank you to their teachers, so I whipped up these fun sliding gift boxes and we dropped them off yesterday when we picked up their schoolwork.

Now when I say I "whipped them up", it was not really quick or easy. Creating my own 3D projects is a little out of my comfort zone. Usually I find a tutorial I can copy and then create my own design from the tutorial. This time I actually figured out the measurements myself, and only wasted a few pieces of paper! I will be sharing a tutorial I created for this box with my email subscribers on Thursday. If you aren't on my email list, you can join here.

If you're reading this farther down the road, just send me a message after you join my email list, and I'll forward the tutorial on to you. Hopefully this project inspires you to do a little something extra for the teachers in your life this week!

Stamps: Ornate Thanks
Paper: Whisper White, Terracotta Tile, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Ornate Garden Specialty DSP 
Embellishments: Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack, Gilded Gems
Tools: Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tools, Stitched Shapes Dies
Adhesives: Tear and Tape, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Happy Stamping!

Ornate Garden Sneak Peek!

I have a sneak peek for you today - the Ornate Garden Suite is a new suite of products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog that starts in June. However, Stampin' Up! is releasing this suite early, in April, or you can add these products to your starter kit right now! The suite includes 2 stamp sets, 2 sets of dies, a ribbon combo pack, an embossing folder, and some gold gems. I think you will love everything!

The color scheme for my card today was inspired by last week's GDP color challenge. I didn't quite get my card finished in time to enter the challenge, but I love how the card turned out, and I still wanted to share it with you!

I used the Corrugated Embossing Folder for the Petal Pink piece in the background. This embossing folder has been on my wish list for a long time, and I finally added it to my last order. I think it will get a lot of use - it adds the perfect texture to your projects!

I had all of my teacher friends in mind when I picked the sentiment for this card. When I was a teacher, it was always SO much extra work to get ready for a substitute teacher, and teachers everywhere are having to prepare for substitute teachers (parents) who aren't even teachers! This morning, our schools officially closed for the remainder of the school year, and I am still trying to wrap my brain around what that means for my family. Lots of challenges ahead for sure, but stamping is my stress relief - so that is not going to change! Hopefully stamping is stress relief for you too, and you can find some time in your day to be creative.

Stamps: Ornate Thanks, Ornate Style
Ink: Sahara Sand, Stampin' Blends Markers: Light Crumb Cake, Light Daffodil Delight, Light & Dark Pool Party, Light & Dark Petal Pink
Paper: Sahara Sand, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Shimmery White Cardstock, Whisper White
Embellishments: Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon, Gilded Gems

Happy Stamping!
