Love is In The Air

Now that Christmas is over, love is in the air. Have you been in a store lately? It's exploding with hearts and candy. And the new Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog is no exception. We have got the lions share of yummy supplies to help you make adorable Valentines Day cards and treats. 

The Hearts a Flutter Bundle is a great place to start. A super cute stamp set and coordinating framelit dies. By purchasing these items together in a bundle, you save $$. Always a good thing! :0)

 And lets not forget the More Amore Designer Series Paper. Lots of fun patterns and colors. I really LOVE this paper. 

I made a quick card using these items today. I love it because it came together in literally less than 10 minutes. Cute and quick....my favorite combination.

The greeting is from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set. This is such a versatile set...it covers every occasion. 

It sure is cold here. Only 19 degrees this morning. 

It's a good night to stay in and stamp something pretty! 

You can purchase these items in my Online Store at any time.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Letterpress LOVE

This morning I gathered with my downline for a team meeting. What a fun way to start the day! It is so much fun when we all get together! I was happy to have 2 of my newest team members in attendance.

We always stamp something at our meetings - after all, we are all there because we LOVE to stamp. Here are a few pics of the gals having fun stamping...

This is Lori, she joined our group in November. Doesn't she look so happy to be stamping? LOL

She is very creative and a great stamper. It took me a few years to get her to join me..SO glad she finally took the leap! :)

And this is Bonnie - she is a doll and a wonderful stamper. She has been on our team for a few years now. And the bonus is now that she is retired from her day job, she has lots more time to stamp! :)

I wanted to show everyone how to use the new Letterpress Plates for the Big Shot (you can find these in the Mini Catalog).

It's similar to the other embossing plates, but we put CRAFT ink on the plate , lay the paper on top of the plate, then run it through the Big Shot.

Here is a video that Stampin' Up! made to show step by step how to use the letterpress plates. Its awesome!

Everyone did a great job with their project! Here is the completed card:

We used a brayer to apply the red craft ink to the plate - it worked great. The letterpress debosses the image, and the craft ink gives great coverage. Love it!

The ribbon is the 1-1/4" stripped grosgrain ribbon that I cut in 1/2 - so very cool as then I frayed the edges. We added a little love tag with some linen thread, and punched a heard from the new Red Glimmer paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Build A Bear Valentines

I've been busy using my Build-A-Bear die cuts to make Valentines for Jacobs class. I feel like a little girl dressing up my bears...just like paper dolls again. I am having a blast! :-)

The Sending Love Designer Paper is so much fun to use for the clothes because it's soooo sparkly!

I am busy working on a Mommy and Me Build A Bear Class for February Vacation. Bring the kiddo's over for a fun afternoon of paper bear crafting! Stay tuned for details!

Have a great weekend everyone, and STAY WARM!

These are such fun projects and I had a blast designing them!



Here is a group shot of all 4 projects. We have a really cute card featuring the NEW Heart Treat Cups! How adorbale to be able to send someone some chocolate in their greeting card! I don't know about you, but chocolate makes everything better for me! I would totally LOVE getting that in the mail! :0)

Speaking of chocolate...this is a super cute little treat holder! It has a cello bag on the inside with more sweets! I LOVE the Melon Mambo Polka Dot Ribbon on this project...so fun!

New Occasions Mini Sneak Peaks

I am so excited about the 43 pages of awesome stamps, papers, ribbons, punches and embellishments in the new Occasions Mini. I got my pre-order before Christmas (a demonstrator perk!) but haven't had much time to play with it. Now that Christmas is behind us, I had some time to play. :)

Here are just a few cards I made with the new stuff...

I am in LOVE with the new Specialty Designer Series Paper, Sending Love. It's pre-glittered! How cool is that? No mess! And the colors (Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla) are some of my favorites that just scream Valentines' Day.

This Stamp Set is called With All My Heart. I ordered this one in the Clear Block Option and I thought it was great. The clear blocks stamp the same as the wood, because it's the same high quality rubbah...but now you can see through the clear blocks for easy positioning. Very cool!

The border is made with the new Pinking Hearts Border punch! We have so many new punches in this mini catalog with new designs for easier storage. You are going to love all the new options!

And let's not forget the *GAWJUS* new Satin Ribbon Ribbon. OMG! It comes in 9 different colors, and is so high quality and rich looking. It is the perfect embellishment for your Valentines Day projects. :)

Here is more of that awesome Designer Series Paper and Satin Ribbon.
The greeting is from the new set call Well Scripted. I just love the font on this! There are 6 greetings in this set that all have this gorgeous font. I used the Heart to Heart punch (in the big catalog) and punched out a few glittery hearts using the new Sending Love paper. Easy peasy, and adorable!

You should receive your Mini Catalog in the mail this week. If not, drop me a note and I will get one out to you.

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
