Here's a little inspiration for you using several of the products you could earn for Free with a $50 purchase* during SAB.

This card features the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack, which includes 3 spools of twine, in Crisp Cantalope, Pool Party, and Summer Starfruit. The accessory pack also includes these adorable printed cork embellishments. They are self-adhesive and flat enough to go through the mail.

Petite Petals & Weekly Deals

This is my swap card that I took to Leadership. I used the new Petite Petals Stamp Set and coordinating punch found in the Occasions Catalog.


I love this set, and almost every set that has a coordinating punch! It makes adding dimension to your projects so easy. I love this color combination too; Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush. It has a little bit of a tropical feel to it. The background words stamped behind the flowers is from the Notable Notes Stamp Set. I stamped it twice, with Sahara Sand. The birthday greeting is from the Hostess Set, Express yourself.

Refreshed & Rejuvenated

Holy cow! I was a bit embarrassed when I finally came to my blog to write a post and saw that the last time I was here was early November! Yikes!

I've just returned from Houston where I attended the Stampin' Up! Leadership Convention. I feel totally refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to get back at it. Keeping up on my blog is one of the goals I have set for myself.

Leadership was amazing, as is any event with Stampin' Up! There are so many things I want to share, but I'll take it slow. One very exciting promotion involves My Paper Pumpkin. SU has listened to the concerns of both Demonstrators and current subscribers of My Paper Pumpkin, and has really amped up the upcoming kits. We got a sneak peek of January, February, and March. All I can say is ~ WOW! They are also refreshed and rejuvenated! If you are not a current subscriber, you'll definitely want to join. If you are a current subscriber, you will not be disappointed!


When you subscribe to My Paper Pumpkin between January 11, and February 10, you will receive in your Welcome Kit, the 2012-2014 In Color Stampin' Write Markers. That's a $14.95 value ~ FREE!

Add a little festive flare to your holiday decorating with the new Festive Flurry Ornament Kit! Use them as package toppers, to embellish cards, create a wintery garland, or trim the tree. The possiblities are endless! Click on the picture above to watch a video.

The kit includes all of the supplies needed to create 10 snowflakes. All you need to supply is your favorite adhesive. When you purchase your kit, you will receive ~

  • 10 feet of Soft Sky Ribbon
  • Printed Cardstock ~ die cut and scored, ready to be assembled (Soft Sky, Crumb Cake, Whisper White Cardstock and Silver Glimmer Paper)
  • 40 Large Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Last year, these Holiday Kits sold out within a couple of days. Order your before it's too late!
Festive Flurry Ornament Kit, item #135813 only $14.95.

If  you like the look of the die cut snowflakes, you can order the Festive Flurry Stamp Set and coordinating Framelit Dies and make your own to add to your kit! These can be found in the Holiday Catalog on page 30. Here is a card I made using the stamp set & coordinating framelit dies.



I used the Brushed Silver Cardstock and Basic Grey Ink. I love the new Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder, also found in the Holiday Catalog. The sentiment is from the stamp set More Merry Messages. This set was carried over from last year's catalog, and is available through an online order. It's a great set of 10 holiday greetings. You can find it HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today, and don't wait too long to order your Festive Flurry Ornament Kit. I'm sure they will sell out quickly!

Sweet Angel

Today's project shows how versatile our products are. This sweet little angel was created using the new Gift Bow Bigz L Die found in the Holiday Catalog. This die is designed for making 2 different sized bows, great for your Holiday gift wrapping. The largest bow measures 3-3/4" x 1-3/4".


This little angel measures approximately 4-1/4" x 4". She was created using the parts from the smaller bow. I love how she turned out, and now I want to decorate a whole tree with sweet little angels! I have made several more, using different color combinations. They're kind of addicting!


I'm considering putting together a Step-by-Step Tutorial, and posting it here on my blog. She is really easy to make, once you've seen how to do it. Please leave me a comment here, if you're interested.

Be sure to check out this weeks Weekly Deals. Here are the great products you can get, this week only, at discounted prices. Click on the picture below to start shopping. Check out the My Digital Studio Seasonal Sale, and the Holiday Tag It Bundles while you're there!

One Week Only & Merry Banner

25 Stamp Sets 25% Off One Week Only!


Click on the picture above to see the list.
Order online from my website, or contact me!

Today's project is my Merry Banner. This was created using the Build a Banner Simply Created Kit. I love the Christmas Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit in the Holiday Catalog, but I wanted a banner with traditional red & greens, so I designed my own using the Season of Style Designer Series Paper and various stamps from the Holiday and Annual Catalogs.


The color I chose are Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Chocolate Chip. First, using the templates that come in the Banner Kit, and Sponge Daubers, I inked the backgrounds on the canvas banner pieces. Then, using Chocolate Chip ink, I stenciled the letters.

The rosettes were created with 2-1/4" strips of DSP 18" long. You'll need to cut two 12" pieces. Cut the second piece in half. Glue the 12" and one 6" piece together, end to end, creating an 18" strip. Score your strips every 1/2", accordion fold, and assemble your rosette. Decorate with your favorite stamps, embellishments, and ribbons and you're done!

Here is a close up of some of the detail. Notice the Red Rhinestone. Did you know that you can color your Basic Rhinestones and Pearls to coordinate with any project color? Using a Sharpie Marker, color your rhinestones or pearls before you adhere it to your project, let dry and viola! Beautiful color coordinating bling!


Don't forget to check out the 25 Stamp Sets 25% off! This sale is for one week only. It starts today and ends October 28.
