Stampers Dozen February Blog Hop - Bundles

Hello Stamping Friends,

Happy Valentine's Day!  Today I am excited to join the Stampers Dozen group for another great blog hop. This month's theme is a bundle from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Seriously, how do I just pick one?  There are so many great bundles to choose from. 

I decided to go with the adorable little chicks in the On the Farm bundle and the coordinating designer series paper, Day at the Farm, from the Sale-a-bration brochure that you can select for FREE when you purchase the bundle since it is over $50 which gives you a qualifying Sale-a-bration order. Woohoo!  

I know the big thing is that chickens are quite valuable right now with the price of eggs being what they are, so let's honor them with their own card. I used Stampin' blends to color the chicks and ground and then just let the designer series paper do the rest of the work. I know, there's a ton of layers on this card, but I don't care. I love it! I think the layers are what makes it all come together beautifully. I suppose you could go with less, but that's not my style. HAHA

Sale-a-brate Good Times

Hello Stamping Friends,

Hope you are having a great day. And if not that maybe this post will be a little bright spot in  your day. I'm back with a post with the Sisters in Stamping. This week our theme is Sale-a-bration. It is that time of year again here with Stampin' Up! Time for FREE product when  you place a qualifying purchase. 

I decided to use the wonderful Designer Series Paper called Favored Flowers to cover a small clipboard and make it not so boring. The paper is 12"x12". I cut one sheet down to six inches and used the front side for the top and the back side for the bottom (well, I guess that just depends on what you view at front and back, lol)  

I cut a small strip from another piece of paper from the back to cover the seam between the two. To adhere the paper onto the clipboard, I used a spray adhesive so I could cover the entire thing and make sure it is really stuck on there.

I also took another piece of paper that matches the bottom of the covered clipboard to cover the brand name on my small notepad. Plus, it's just better because it coordinates beautifully with the clipboard. 

Then, I took an even smaller strip of paper to cover the ink inside the pen. Each piece looks marvelous on its own, but together its a beautiful set that anyone would be envious of. Definitely a great gift set.

Stampers Dozen January Blog Hop - Sale-a-bration

Hello  Stamping Friends,

Hope you are off to a great start this year. I told you I would be posting more and so far, I have been. I hope you are enjoying the stamping inspiration and are getting your supplies out and creating too.

Tonight we are blog hopping with the Stampers Dozen group. The theme is everyone's favorite: Sale-a-bration. Freebies for every qualifying order. Yippee!

The sweet little owl set it just one of many things that you can select from for your FREE items from now though February 28, 2023. Get your orders together and place them on my website or by emailing me today. 

For the designer paper stripe across the middle of the card, I used Stampin' Blends to color the black and white paper. Did you ever color your designer series paper? It's a lot of fun and give it a whole new look. I just used the same colors that I used to color the owl and his party hat to make that pop and bring it all together. 

Of course, our little owl it popped up on the card using my favorite: dimensionals!!! What would a card be without them?

Remember to keep hopping. You're going to love everyone else's inspiration.

Gratitude Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

How is January going so far? Here it's been pretty great. My birthday was wonderful; it lasted the whole weekend.  Woohoo. And we haven't had any major snow storms. Plus, all of our snow we got in December (it was quite a bit) has melted. I am definitely full of gratitude so far this year. 

And that's the theme for today Stampin' Dreams blog hop with Crafty Collaboration. We all have so much to be grateful for if we just take a moment to think about it. Sometimes it is easier to to focus on the negative, but if we are grateful and look at the positive things in life we will be happier and healthier. Here's to a year full of gratitude.

I told you earlier this year (haha, we're not even two week into the year) that I would have more cards using the Silly Goose set and here is one more. This goose is sending some "big honkin' thanks." I love the quirky saying. 

I set my goose on his soap box so that he could be a little taller to send his big thanks. Doesn't he look so proud of himself? The banner of thanks reminds me of when you say to a child, "How much do you love me?" and he responds with, "this much," as he holds out his arms wide. Our little goose is saying, "I thank you this much!" as he stretches his arms wide. 

Don't forget we are full swing into Sale-a-bration and you can earn FREE product with every $50 order you place now through February 28th. Anyone placing an order now through January 21, 2023 will receive a pack of ten cards and envelopes as a thank you. So don't waste anytime. Get those orders in to me as soon as possible so I can get your cards out to you. With the new mini catalog, I don't see you having any problem getting yourself to a qualifying order.

Sisters in Stamping - Old is New

\

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's Sunday and that means it's time for another post with the Sisters in Stamping.  This week we are sharing old cards (ones we made in 2022) made new with you.  I copied this card from this post. It's always fun remaking something you have done with some new products. And in order to do that, you really are copying the layout of the card.

I used the sweet owl set from Sale-a-bration. That's right, it's Sale-a-bration time. FREE goodies with every qualifying order now through February 28, 2023. Don't waste any time, get your order to me or place it online in my store. 

I used the designer series paper from the annual catalog and then used some blender pens to color the striped piece of paper to coordinate with the colors that I used for the owl. Don't be afraid to color any of your designer paper. It gives it a whole new look and opens up so many possibilities for you to create with. 

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping to see more ideas of how to make your old card new. 

Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon.

Oh, and if you didn't receive your copy of the January - April mini catalog or your Sale-a-bration catalog let me know and I'll get one out to you. 

Crafty Collaborations - Jan-April Mini Catalog Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

Back again for another great blog hop. I have missed participating in the Crafty Collaborations hops and my goal for the year to to get back and participate in as many as possible in 2023. 

Today's hop is focusing on the awesome mini catalog for Jan-April 2023 which made its debut just yesterday. 

I loved this stamp set when I saw it and thought I know I need that set. I participated in a swap with a few of my demonstrator friends where we each made four cards using one stamp set. These sweet geese were my selection. I actually love how all four of my cards turned out and you will see the rest soon.

Can you guess how many new products I used on my card? Well, I'll help you. The designer series paper, the metallic paper and of course the stamp set. I selected the colors for my card based off the designer series paper. I love how my projects coordinate so beautifully and I didn't have to think about it.

I use the phrase silly goose often and immediately feel in love with the saying. I am sharing this card with you today because it is someone's birthday. Whose? You ask.  Well, it's mine. 

And because it's my birthday I am going to run a weekend birthday special. You get the gifts Any order over $50 (before shipping and tax) will not only receive a FREE Sale-a-bration item, but you will also receive 10% off your order from me. However, if you place a $150 order, you will receive up to 3 FREE Sale-a-bration items and you will receive 20% off your order from me.  will need to send me your order and payment option by Sunday (1/8/23) at 10:00 PM to take advantage of this special that is only through me.
