Elegant Bird Die Samples from Leadership

It never fails that my wish list should grow after attending a Stampin' Up! event. I didn't think I needed the Elegant Bird die for the Big Shot (#125593, $21.95), but now it's on my list! Check out these projects! This one makes me smile! It was part of the display from the Corporate Office.

And this gorgeous card was one that Shelli demonstrated on stage. She has also shared some great samples on her blog this month. Make sure to check them out there: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

I was thinking more about Leadership 2012 classes, especially the one by Amy Swartz and Paula Critchlow, who presented "Including a New Generation in Your Stamping Business". Since I am on the older side of this new target generation, I kind of felt like I would know everything. That wasn't the case! The class definitely planted some seeds and got me thinking about new ways to connect with potential customers...of all ages!

And to move forward in that direction, I finally signed up for Pinterest last night. Wow! What an amazing site! I already have other 50 pins and can tell this is going to be a great tool for keeping track of random ideas, projects, and things I want to remember. And I was surprised to find how much Julie's Stamping Spot is already being pinned! Click here to check out which of my blog posts are already being pinned here. Are you on Pinterest? Leave me a comment and tell me what you love about it and what kind of ideas you are pinning to your boards!

Teacher's Apple with Designer Rosette Die

I love attending Stampin' Up! events and viewing the incredible displays of projects from the home office. Check out this apple, created with six layers of cardstock rosettes. This project can be easily reproduced using the new Designer Rosette die for the Big Shot. Just trim down the cardstock to different widths to create the varying size rosettes for each layer of the apple.

Watch this video from Stampin' Up! to see the Designer Rosette die in action:


I love going to Stampin' Up! events because I come home feeling inspired and motivated to try new things in my business. One of my favorite classes at Leadership 2012 was Patsy Waggoner's (and Donna Griffith's) presentation called "Retaining and Engaging Your Downline". I felt like Patsy was speaking right to me. I am in the same place she was a year ago, and I can only hope that by incorporating some of her ideas that I can enjoy the same downline growth that she has. I'm going to start by sending a survey to my downline to get some feedback about what they want.

Which reminds me of another great presentation by Brian Pilling called "Sharing the Stampin' Up! Opportunity". Really, Brian's presentation was more about the fundamentals of interacting with people and building a relationship...whether that be as a potential recruit or as a new friend. It really made me think about the various stages of developing any new relationship and the importance of listening and being aware of the needs of others.

Is it crazy that I am already looking forward to the next Stampin' Up! Event!? I hope you'll join me!

I've never been a sticker fan, but the Sweet Shop Designer Stickers from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog may just change my mind! The stickers offer a simple way to incorporate full color images to your projects! Here's a card I made with the addition of a few new Sale-A-Bration products.

The front of the card uses the Everyday Enchantment Designer Paper and Calypso Coral Ribbon. The inside of the card (below) utilizes the new Outlined Expressions stamp Sale-A-Bration stamp set and another sticker from the Sweet Shop series.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Outlined Occasions (SAB) stamp set, Basic Black ink pad, Pool Party marker & cardstock, Calypso Coral marker, Very Vanilla cardstock, Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (SAB), Everyday Enchantment Ribbon (SAB), Sweet Shop Designer Stickers, Word Window Punch

2012 Sale-A-Bration: Sprinkled Expressions Valentine Card

Here's another card using the heart from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set Sprinkled Expressions. This one uses more traditional Valentine colors: Blushing Bride and Poppy Parade. I used markers to color the sentiment with different colors before I stamped it. It's hard to tell in the photo, but I added a little Dazzling Details to the little hearts above the greeting.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Sprinkled Expressions (SAB), Blushing Bride ink & cardstock, Poppy Parade marker & cardstock, Basic Black marker, Whisper White cardstock, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

Sale-A-Bration 2012: Sprinked Expressions Mini Card

I designed this little gift tag to go with some of the calendars that I sent out to customers earlier this month. The card is small -- only 2-3/4" x 4-1/4". Basically, it's a quarter sheet of cardstock folded in half. (I did not put it in an envelope). I really like the combination of these two In Colors: Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder. The little heart paper is from the Sweet Shop series in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Back from Leadership!

Whew! I am home from Leadership and apparently needing to catch up on sleep. I've fallen asleep on the couch EARLY both nights since I've been back. Oops!

I'm still going thorough pictures and needing to get some from my downline, so I'll be sharing more throughout the week. In the meantime, check out some highlights from the week over on Shelli's blog here.

Check out my "haul"!! Stampin' Up! sure does know how to spoil us! There were FOUR all-attendee giveaways! All together, I received 5 stamp sets, 1-1/2 packs of Designer Paper, 3 packages of Jewel Accents (pearls and rhinestones), 2 spools of ribbon, 2 markers, an entire package of buttons, die cut flowers, bakers twine, a Tea Stain Stampin' Spot, and a So Much to Sale-a-bration MDS Content DVD! I barely had room in my suitcase for everything!

Sweets for the Sweet Gift Tags

This was supposed to post on Thursday...I'm not sure why I didn't! I'll try to come back to post again later tonight...

I love these little gift tags created with the Sweet Shop Designer Paper from the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog and the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set in the big catalog. Every one of the new 2013 In Colors are featured in the Sweet Shop paper designs. I can't decide which color I like best! I used the coordinating In Color polka dot brads in these tags that helps to pull them all together. So sweet!

Creative Elements Gift Tag

Here's another gift tag made with the Two Tags die, like the tags I posted yesterday. I kept it really clean and simple. The butterfly was inked with Pool Party and then rolled in the darker Island Indigo ink. This easy technique, called Rock 'N" Roll and is perfect for new stampers! I used Dimensionals under the scallop circle, and don't forget the three little rhinestones!

Happy New Year to all of you!

I love that we have opportunity to choose products from the big catalog as our Sale-a-bration gifts! I'll post the brochure when Sale-a-bration starts on Janaury 24th. In the meantime, here's a card I created with the Language of Friendship stamp set, one of the big catalog stamp sets you can choose for free when you order $50 or more during Sale-a-bration (January 24-March 31).

My favorite thing about this stamp set is that it coordinates with the Bird Punch and the Boho Flower Punches. Using the coordinating punch makes cutting out the bird and flower image a snap!

I have been swamped trying to catch up on everything. Things just seem to take longer than I think they will.

Sale-a-bration Sneak Peek: Fresh Vintage Thank You Card

I designed this card for our December Demonstrator group meeting using the new Sale-a-bration stamp set called Fresh Vintage. Mark your calendar -- Sale-a-bration is just around the corner! It starts January 24 and goes through March 31. As always, you'll be able to choose a free gift from the Sale-a-bration brochure (watch for it to post on January 24 if you haven't gotten yours in the mail yet). There's also great perks for hostesses and new demonstrators!

I wasn't so sure I liked this stamp set at first, but the more I play with it, the more I love it! I especially love the way this image looks when you stamp on textured cardstock, like I did here. Check out the close-up:

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Fresh Vintage (SAB), Teeny Tiny Wishes, Jet Black Staz-On Ink, Pool Party marker & cardstock, Calypso Coral marker & cardstock, Lucky Limeade marker, Very Vanilla Textured cardstock, Everyday Enchantment DSP (SAB), Jumbo Pearls, Pear Pizazz Ruffled Ribbon

Top Note Flap Card

My friend Meg Loven demonstrated this tip at our demonstrator group meeting in November. You know how I love new ways to use the products I already have, so I was all over this! I designed this card for Stamp Club back in November and just realized that I never posted it!

Here's the inside. You'll see that only the left flap is cut with the design from the Top Note die. But wait a sec...how??

It's almost TOO easy! If you own a Big Shot, you know it's all about creating the right "sandwich". You need the right thickness to put pressure on the die to cut. The die will only cut when the thickness of the sandwich is just right. So the key to this project is positioning the cutting plate to cover ONLY the part you want to cut. As you can see in the photo below, the top cutting pad is only covering the end of the Top Note. The rest of the Top Note shape will not cut because it's not the right thickness to put pressure on the die.

The cutting plate will leave a big of a "score" line and that's there I folded the flap over. (By the way, I adhered the Designer Paper to the cardstock BEFORE I ran it through so that it cut both at the same time.) Then I took the other end of the cardstock (originally 4-1/4" x 11) and folded it back under the Top Note flap like this:

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Flight of the Butterfly, On Your Birthday, Pool Party ink & cardstock, Calypso Coral ink & cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Domestic Goddess Designer Series Paper, Top Note die (Big Shot), 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Rhinestone Jewel Accents, Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon

Packed for Birthday Card

Hmmm...where or where does the time go?! I got swamped again and just realized that I haven't posted since Wednesday. Hopefully this week will be better!

I whipped up this 3-1/2" x 5" card for my niece's birthday using the new Packed for Birthday stamp in the Occasions Mini Catalog. The "Packed for" stamps are fun, but I didn't want to color every single image. It's hard to tell in the photo, but I used some Dazzling Details on the balloons to make the sparkle.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Packed for Birthday, Teeny Tiny Wishes, 2013 In Color Markers, Calypso Coral cardstock, Pool Party cardstock, Wisteria Wonder cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Jet Black Staz-On Ink, 2013 In Color Patterns DSP, Rhinestone Brads, Dazzling Details

Mouthwatering Watermelon Swap Card

I used the Mouthwatering stamp set from the Sweet Shop Product Suite for my second Occasions Mini Catalog swap. I love these colors together, 2011-2013 In Colors Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral. I turned the Designer Paper around so that the debossed hearts were up. And the watermelon image was perfect for inking with markers. I colored the seeds black after I stamped the melon.

Tip: For quick cutting, use the 2-1/2" Circle Punch to cut out the round part of the watermelon, then cut along the straight edge.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Mouthwatering stamp set, Sweet Cake stamp set (sentiment), Calypso Coral marker & cardstock, Lucky Limeade marker & cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper, Jet Black Staz-On Ink, Basic Black marker, Fashionable Hearts Embosslit (Big Shot), 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

Sweet Cake Birthday Card

I love free stamps! This Sweet Cake stamp set was one of many from the Occasions Mini Catalog that I got for free.

Honestly, I probably would not have bought it on my own, but I love that little cupcake and the sentiments are great to use on their own. Here's a card I designed for our group swap.

Snowman Side Spring Card

This card just makes me smile every time I look at it! Inspired by my friend Robin Armbrecht's swap card at our last group meeting, I designed this side spring card for my Stamp Club. There's a great step-by-step tutorial on Splitcoaststampers here. (I will confess, it still confuses me when I make it and try to fold a new one!)

Even with the unique fold, this card will still fit in a regular size Medium envelope. I added a Stampin' Dimensional under the right side of the front flap to hold the card down a little. Because of that, it doesn't quite open all the way, but you can still see the sentiment inside.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Snow Swirled, Thank You Kindly, Full of Life, Jet Black Staz-On Ink, Bashful Blue ink & cardstock, Poppy Parade ink & cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Pumpkin Pie cardstock, Basic Black cardstock, Snowflake Punch (for the snowman's arms!), 2-1-2/" Circle Punch, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Snowburst Embossing Folder (Big Shot), Poppy Parade ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Googly Eyes
