Celebrate You! - Picture Perfect Birthday

Hello friends, and happy Tuesday! 

Today's card is one that's already reached its recipient, so it's time for me to share it - when a card is made for a certain someone, I want to make sure they receive it before it's live on the blog! 

I had fun with the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set and Picture Perfect Party 6x6" Designer Series Paper - I love that half of the prints are photorealistic.  It adds such a fun and fresh element to birthday cards!  


I love the bright pops of colour in this suite and the fun sentiments that go along in the stamp set.  It's a must-have, for sure.

Speaking of must-haves - for one more week, there's still time to grab this month's  CrushOnColour Project Pack, featuring the Fortunate To Know You stamp set - and it's a cutie!  Check it out...


You won't want to miss this adorable set of cards, free with your supplies purchase (click for details) and designed exclusively for my Project Pack subscribers.  This bundle is bright and fun, with touches of gold and a variety of sentiments for everyone.  You'll love it!

See you again soon - have a fabulous day!

February is wrapping up already (how did that happen?) and I wanted to share another fabulous freebie available during Sale-A-Bration - the Epic Celebrations stamp set! 


This is a favourite that I've used a few times, but the first time I used the adorable running shoes.  I have a few pairs of Converse low-tops like these, and I always dream of finding them in hot pink - not so easy!  With this fun stamp, you can have shoes in every colour of the rainbow - the next best thing to the real deal!

Epic Celebrations is FREE during Sale-A-Bration with your order of $60+.  Want an easy way to get there and double up on the freebies?

Ombre Thank You - Color Me Happy

Good morning, friends, and happy Saturday!  I hope you have a wonderful (and warm!) February weekend planned!  It's a long weekend here in Calgary, Alberta, so I've got a few days of family fun on deck!  

Today's card is an easy one - so easy that you can crank out a few before breakfast this morning!  


With a short and sweet list of supplies - DSP, ribbon, one stamp, and a bit of cardstock - you've got this gorgeous thank you card ready to pop in the mail!

The secret to the "wow" factor?  Stampin' Blends!  These fantastic alcohol markers help you layer and blend colour to create this gorgeous ombre effect - isn't it fun?  I did that with two colours - how awesome is that?!

If you haven't got your hands on Stampin' Blends yet, why not?!  They're a breeze to use and really up the impact of your handmade cards!  

What else is going on over here?  Available now, you'll find this month's  CrushOnColour Project Pack, featuring the Fortunate To Know You stamp set - and it's a cutie!  Check it out...

Cherry Cola Birthday Brew - Bubble Over

Hello friends! 

Inspiration is all around us, isn't it?  Sometime's it's in advertising, a colour scheme in a great piece of clothing, or a kid's toy, and sometimes it's provided by other crafters.  Today's post was inspired by another talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrator named Jo Hooper - she created this beautiful frosted blue glass pop bottle that reminded me of a vintage Cherry Coke, and I just HAD to make my own version!


Have I mentioned before how much I love Cherry Coke?  We don't get Cherry Coke in Canada - a trade off I'll happily take to live in this amazing country, but don't think I don't fill my trunk with cases of it whenever we drive to the states!  A cheery Cherry Coke card was right up my alley, so once I finished that one, I just had to make another... 


A couple of small changes - this one is simplified a little bit by using cardstock to cut the bottles - and I've got a second card for another Coke (a-Cola!) addict in my life... like my bestie or my husband!

These adorable cards were yet another creation made with Bubble Over, one of the fabulous stamp sets in the 2018 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue.  This set is easily my favourite, and it's so versatile - this one stamp set has seen more use than all of the others combined, I think!

Speaking of adorable cards, did you see the newest  CrushOnColour Project Pack, featuring the Fortunate To Know You stamp set?  It's a cutie!  Check it out...

Simply Lovely - Amazing You

Good morning, lovelies!  

It is February 13th, which means two things:
  1. We are HALFWAY through the Sale-A-Bration period - how did THAT happen so fast?! 
  2. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day!  
Eek, right?!  On both counts!  January was a total drag-on month, but February is whipping by in an absolutely flash.  

Today's card is a little featurette of a Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Amazing You.  And it's going to help with both of those things, because not only does it feature a FREE stamp set from Sale-A-Bration, but it's a perfect card to give to a loved one. 


Wait, do I need to back it up?

What IS Sale-A-Bration?  It's the best time of year in the Stampin' Up! Calendar!  Sale-A-Bration is where Stampin' Up! celebrates customers, hosts, and demonstrators alike by handing out free goodies!


For customers, it means free stamp sets, free ribbon, free notecard packs, free DSP, and even free DIES for your Big Shot with your Stampin' Up! order!  For every $60 spent, you can choose a free exclusive item from the Sale-A-Bration brochure, and when you spend $120, you can choose a bigger and better item - how cool is that?!

This stamp set - Amazing You - is one of the freebies you have to choose from.  And that's the only way you can get it - FREE with your purchase!  It's priceless, friends!


The images in this stamp set are so beautiful that I wanted to really let them shine - a simple pallet of Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, and Pool Party lets the flowers and sentiment draw your focus without my typical "more-is-more" smattering of ink, banners, twine, and embellishments.  Sometimes you need a simple card, and this one fits the bill in spades.  That stamp set is downright dreamy, isn't it?

Sale-A-Bration has extra perks for hosts and demonstrators, too, whether you're brand new or are a seasoned demo - click here to read all about it!

What else is going on this month?  Available now, you'll find this February's  CrushOnColour Project Pack, featuring the Fortunate To Know You stamp set - and it's a cutie!  Check it out...
