Now this card is Bloomin' Marvelous!

Look at this beautiful card! One of the talented demonstrators in our BLISS team made this and shared it with us at our meeting last week. I love it! It uses the Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set (free during Sale-a-bration!) 

I love how she backed the greeting with strips of Summer Starfruit card stock cut with the Scallop Ribbon punch. 

She popped up some of the flowers using puffies and that really finished it off. Great job Erika! 

Have a great week! Brenda

Patterned Occasions, Congratulations Smarty Pants!

Another SUPER easy Sale-a-bration item, I LOVE this stamp set, Patterned Occasions, and this little pair of jeans is my favorite stamp in there. I made this little favor for some of the demonstrators in our BLISS team of Stampin' Up! demonstrators this week. I put it together in a flash using the Oval Accents Bigz die and the Designer Label Punch. The rhinestone for a button finished it off.

Only 5 more days of Sale-a-bration left now, don't miss out! And please let me know if you might be interested in joining our BLISS team of demonstrators.

Have a great week! Brenda

BLISS day! Two samples for you :-)

I am really going to miss this set when it retires on Thursday! Especially because they named it after our team, BLISS (Brenda's Lovely Independent Sassy Stampers ;-) ) Well, maybe they didn't name it after us, but we've had our team name for AGES and so I think we can lay claim to it! We have a team meeting tonight, I can't wait to get together and play with the girls! I love this color combo above, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & Baja Breeze. And the Vintage Adornments & Baja Breeze seam binding add the finishing touches. Below is a real simple card using the same set. I stamped the images using Concord Crush on Confetti White. This is a great card for beginners. Using a dimensional to pop out the circle and a pearl in the center add a little extra. The greeting is stamped using the Sale-a-bration set So Happy For You. Also retiring on Thursday, yikes! The time has gone so fast! That means you have just 3 days left for Sale-a-bration, you can earn one free set with every $50 you spend.

Only 3 days left for my amazingly brilliant Big Shot promotion too, if you're sitting on the fence it's time to jump! Here's a quick re-cap: purchase the Big Shot ($99.95) and 2 dies of your choice (value at least $43) and here's what you'll get for free!!!

One Embossing folder (value $7.95) of your choice!

Super Easy Card!

Often I just get way... too complicated! It's good to remember that a handmade card doesn't have to be fancy, there's a lot to be said for a simple card - especially because, if you can make it quickly, you might actually get around to sending it in time! The punches are a huge time saver. I stamped this cute owl using the Sale-a-bration set, Punch Bunch, then it was really quick to punch him out and then, using the same punch, snip out a little pink heart for him. I stamped the hearts on a piece of Pretty in Pink and layered it onto a strip of Designer Series Paper - it honestly took about 2 minutes to make, love that!

Another Sale-a-bration share!

I love this colorful paper that we've had this year - I decided to make a card that I could tuck some money in... I wanted to use my Scallop die to make the little envelopes but I couldn't fit them on unless I made my card really huge so I decided to cut them down into squares. I love how they came out! I also cut a little piece from the envelope flap in a contrasting color to make the edges pop out. Finally I added some little tags using the Tiny Tag stamp set and the Jewelry tag punch.

Cute Cupcake treat holder!

We made this easy little treat holder at last month's stamp club - there is a really cute stamp set in the Occasions mini called Create a Cupcake - it matches an equally cute cupcake punch! We stamped the base in Daffodil delight, the frosting in Pretty in Pink and the sprinkles in Melon Mambo. Then it's easy to hold the punch upside down and slide it along until the shape you want matches the stamped image. We learned how to cut the paper into 1" strips before we stamped so that we could save wasting card stock when punching - I'm so cheap - I'm always looking for ways to save on card stock! Then everybody punched out the little cherry from the red Glimmer paper - I love this paper and was making everybody use the teeniest scraps! See how I am?! We wrapped the paper around a candy bar and stuck the cupcake on the front. Too cute! Now I need a birthday party to go to!
Have a great week, watch for another idea tomorrow! Brenda
