Wacky Watercooler March Hop

 

Hello! It's time for another blog hop! I've missed the last couple due to computer issues but was able to borrow a laptop this time so I can make this post. I missed you all and I hope you'll enjoy the projects I have for you today.

If you started at the beginning of this blog hop, you're arriving here from Buffy's blog and will go to Bev Q's blog after this one. The blog hop goes in circular motion so it doesn't really matter where you begin, just keep clicking NEXT.  At any time you can click the HOME button to our main blog hop page. Please do leave a comment to let me know you were here! I'd love to hear from you!!

This time I used a mixture of products from the 2013-14 Annual Catalogue, 2014 Occasions Catalogue and the Sale-a-Bration brochure.  I hope you enjoy these creations:

This lovely card was created to look a bit vintage. I used Baked Brown Sugar as my base and stamp color and very vanilla. I also used the Blender Pen to color the flowers on the label in Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding.  The stamp sets used here are: Dictionary (Annual), Happy Watercolor (Occasions), and You're Lovely (SAB). I also used the Silver Bakers Twine from the Occasions Catalogue.

 For this card I used: Tangerine Tango, So Saffron, Coastal Cabana, and Baked Brown Sugar for the colors which are all in the Retro This and That Washi tape used here. The stamp sets are Starburst Sayings (Occasions) and Petal Parade (SAB) I also used the Starburst framelits to cut out the image.

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of winter and so my snowflake flurry banner had to come down. In it's place, I now have this happy springy banner. This banner was made using the Banner Framelit Dies. I used 3 different sizes.  The DSP is from the Fresh Prints Paper Pack. The smaller banners are done in Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar which coordinate with the middle DSP.  The small butterflies were punched out using the Elegant Butterfly punch and accented with Basic Pearls. The large Swallowtail Butterfly was stamped in Baked Brown sugar and then highlighted Coastal Cabana with Blender Pens. I then strung them all together with Ruffle Trim Ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed today's projects. Please leave a comment to let me know you were here. I look forward to hopping with you again next time!! 

Last day of Sale-a-bration!

Celebrate Spring

 (Inspired by THIS CARD by Helen )

It's finally spring according to the calendar. The excessive snow outside my window makes it hard to believe.  I thought maybe creating a couple spring cards would warm it up a bit.  Both cards use word stamps only available during Sale-a-bration which ends tomorrow! Don't forget to get your SAB items today!

iPhone Skins

I recently got myself an iPhone. I saw the idea to create my own iPhone skin from Connie Stewart. You can see her video tutorial HERE.

I decided to use the owl punch and the Everyday Enchantment DSP from the current Sale-a-bration catalogue. I love this paper!

The Stampin' Up! stamp is one that came with the Convention Exclusive Stamp Set Workshop Words. I inked it with Lucky Limeade.

Now my iPhone is not only cute, but it also serves as a little advertising for my business!

Outlined Thanks

When a customer makes an order, they get a little 3x3 card from me in their bag as a token of my appreciation.

This one was made using the Outlined Occasions Stamp Set from this year's Sale-a-Bration, and the owl is from last year's Punch Bunch.

I colored in the outline using Stampin' Write In-Color Markers.

Simple, but cute!

Top Note Notebook

A couple of weeks ago, I had a Hostess Appreciation Celebration for all of my 2011 Hostesses. This is a little party which I show my Hostesses how much I appreciate them. We made these adorable notebooks which were based on a notebook I saw on Pinterest made by Merry Socha. I used the Everyday Enchantment DSP from SAB. (I love that paper!)

Aren't they adorable?

This is the other one I made as a sample:



My hostesses loved them!
