Here's one last Sale-a-bration card for the season. I CASEd this from a card I found on Pinterest by Stampin' Up! Concept Artist Melody Hyde. (See Melody's card here.) I love the combination of Sale-a-bration products. I even added one more - the Sweet Sorbet Twine.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Banner Blast stamp set, Hip Notes stamp set, Sahara Sand ink, Summer Starfruit ink, Pool Party ink & cardstock, Crisp Cantaloupe ink, Calypso Coral ink, Whisper White cardstock, Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack, Word Bubble Framelits, Banner Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

I love this little trick that Melody shared on a Stampin' Up! Corporate Blog post. You can use the Word Bubble Framelits to cut just part of the cardstock to make a bigger Word Bubble shape. Melody shared some other tips for different ways to use the Word Bubble Framelits here.

Sweet Sorbet Perfect Pennants Banner Card

Since this is the last week of Sale-a-bration (make sure to get your orders in by Monday, March 31 to get a free gift for every $50 that order!), I wanted to focus on projects using Sale-a-bration products. This card features the Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper and Accessory Pack. The Sweet Sorbet designer paper just might be my favorite paper EVER. Usually, there's a side or two that I don't care for, but I think I have used EVERY patten from this pack! Check out all my Sweet Sorbet projects here.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Perfect Pennants, Crisp Cantaloupe ink & cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Sahara Sand cardstock, Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper, Banner Framelits, 1/2" Circle Punch, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (twine), Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Pearl Jewel Accents

You're Lovely CASE + NEW! Weekly Deals

It's Tuesday! That means it's time for new Weekly Deals! This week, stock up on specialty paper, designer paper, and cardstock! This is the LAST WEEK for Sale-a-bration, so make sure to get your orders in by next Monday to get a free gift for every $50 that you order!

Here's a card I CASEd from my friend Mary Ellen Stites. I changed the colors and only used a half doily on my card. The full stamp in You're Lovely coordinates with the Deco Label Framelits, but the center of the stamp fits perfectly in the 1-3/4" Circle Punch, so there's two ways to use it!

TIP: To get the chevrons on the ribbon both facing toward the center, cut the ribbon in half and turn one half to face the other direction.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: You're Lovely stamp set (SAB), Jet Black Staz-On Ink, Whisper White cardstock, Pistachio Pudding marker & cardstock, Crisp Cantaloupe marker, Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper (SAB), Tea Lace Doilies, Chevron Ribbon, Pearl Jewel Accents, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch

Sweet Sorbet Tag Topper Punch Treat Box

One of the make and takes at our team meetings this month and for my Stamp Club was this cute little box using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Check out the video tutorial at the end of this post to learn how to make this box!

We used the Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper and twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack. You can get either one of these for free when you buy $50 or more during Sale-a-bration, which ends March 31. (Learn More.) But do you recognize the stamp? It's from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit! I love that the card kit includes a small stamp set and ink spot...and a box to store them in! I attached the outline rubber to the lid of the box so I could see the stamps easily and then I put all the extra pieces inside the box.

The Hip Hip Hooray stamp set and accessories are ONLY available in the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit. You can buy it in my Online Store here.

Here's the video tutorial for the Tag Topper Punch Treat box. The cardstock is 2" x 6-1/2" and is scored at 2-3/4" and 3-3/4". The side pieces are 1-1/2" x 1-1/2", scored at 1/4" from the sides.

VIDEO Tutorial: Glitter Window Card

Looks like March is going to "come in like a lion" this year with a nasty winter forecast for this weekend, but I am thinking SPRING in my stamp room! You'll love the soft colors and pretty flowers of today's card. It's the last card in my February Stamp of the Month Club series. I played with spotlighting in a different way for this card; I used glitter to highlight the stamped image. Be sure to watch my quick video tutorial below to find out how to make this sparkly window.

How to Make a Glitter Window:

1. Stamp image on card front.
2. Punch a circle (or other shape) where you want to glitter window to be.
3. Apply clear contact paper over the hole on the back of the card front so the sticky side is showing in the front.
4. Apply Dazzling Diamonds Glitter over the sticky contact paper.
5. Tap off access glitter.
6. Adhere colored stamped images to the back of the card front.

Watch my video tutorial to see how quickly this card comes together:

Spotlighting Technique: So Very Grateful

The So Very Grateful stamp set from the Occasions Catalog is the perfect stamp set for the spotlighting technique. The technique is simple:

1. Stamp an image on cardstock. 
2. Stamp it again on another pieces of cardstock and color it in (or not).
3. Put it out and adhere it over the same place on the other stamped image.

I used the 1" Circle Punch and 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch to spotlight the flowers on this card for my February Stamp of the Month Club series.

I'm excited about all of the cards in this month's series! I incorporated other great techniques including the glitter window and easel card. Stay tuned for all the details on my blog.

Petite Petals Double Punched Tag Card

I love the way the flowers pop against the dark background paper from the Sale-a-bration Sweet Sorbet designer paper. For the greeting, I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch to punch both ends of the tag on this card and then I slid the ribbon through the holes and secured it to the back of the designer paper.

Layered Scalloped Tag Card

Here's a quick card for you. As you can tell, I just can't get enough of the Tag Topper Punches! To create the layers on this card, I just cut the white cardstock a little narrower, at 1-3/4", and shorter than the Soft Sky cardstock. The Fringe Scissors help to add some fun texture to the bottom of the tag.
