The Countdown is On - Sale-A-Bration starts TOMORROW!

I'm SO excited - our biggest promotion of the year, Sale-A-Bration starts tomorrow!  I've had the opportunity to pre-order from both the new Occasions Catalog (also released tomorrow!) and Sale-A-Bration, and the first thing I knew I HAD to get my hands on was the Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The catalog truly doesn't do this justice.  Each piece is white, with a gorgeous clear embossed design.  The pattern resists ink, so it can be sponged or sprayed to change the colour and the gorgeous designs will still show through in white.  It's seriously stunning and SO versatile.

Anyway - blah blah blah - put your sunglasses on before I share today's card!


This card is BRIGHT - don't say I didn't warn you!  The Irresistibly Yours paper served as my background, and I inked it up to look like a sunburst with Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango.  The rest of it is just a gigantic mess - vellum, hexies, newsprint, "drops," twine, pompoms, watercolouring, and more!


But seriously - that paper!  It's so stunning.  Make it your must-have of 2015 Sale-A-Bration!

It's Your Day!

When the new Occasions 2015 catalog was revealed, one set immediately caught my eye - Big On You was full of big, bold, BEAUTIFUL sentiments.   It was so fabulous and I knew I had to have it!


These sentiments are really statement images.  They take up almost a full card front and really catch your eye!  Add a bit of colour and a few embellishments and your card is done.  So easy, and so beautiful.  It's a must-have!

Three more days until Occasions 2015 and Sale-A-Bration 2015 are both released from Stampin' Up!  Are you counting down?  I know I am!
