Gift Card Bouquet & Fun-Fold Card!

Jacque — Sat, 12 May 2012 11:00:05 +0000

Here's something new to try! How about a gift card bouquet and a matching fun-fold card too!?! After opening the gift card, your recipient can put the pretty bouquet on their desk to remind them of your gift and brighten up their day! This is a great project for a teacher, co-worker, or anyone you want to give a little something special to! This project is a fun class or camp project too!

Happiest Birthday Wishes!

Jacque — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:00:15 +0000

Well by now you've probably seen the retiring stamp set and accessories lists! Every year a few of my favorite stamp sets retire and this is one of them. The Happiest Birthday Wishes hostess stamp set. It's a great birthday greeting set and I use it a lot because I make a lot of birthday cards! Although I won't be able to demonstrate with this set after it retires, I will keep it for my own personal use as the birthday greetings in this set are so nice and versatile!

I used Peach Parfait, Wild Wasabi and Regal Rose Stampin' Write Markers to color in the image.

The Cupcake Builder punch made it easy to make this cute cupcake too.

Over on my Sisters in Stamping blog this week, we're sharing cards or projects made using stamp sets and/or other items that are on the retiring lists. Take a look and remember if you want anything on the lists, you have until May 31st (or while supplies last with the accessories), to purchase from the current catalog. Our new catalog will be coming out June 1st!

Have a great weekend!

Sale-A-Bration Ends Tomorrow!

Jacque — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 16:00:34 +0000

Boo Hoo! Where did the last two months go?!? I like getting free stuff when I place orders for myself and for you! And I'm going to really miss the Everyday Elegance Designer Series Paper!! If you follow my blog, you know I love Designer Series Paper (DSP), and this has been one of my favorites! I've been able to accumulate quite a good stash of it, but the way I use it, it will be gone in no time! Here is my last card using the Sale-A-Bration stamp set Elementary Elegance and of course the Everyday Elegance DSP!

I used Lucky Limeade and Pool Party card stock to compliment the colors in the DSP.

I used Lucky Limeade and Pool Party Stampin' Write Markers to color in the stamp, and then added a few of the smallest Basic Pearl Jewels. If you'd like to see more Sale-A-Bration ideas so you can have several ideas on how to use your free goodies, just head over to my Sisters in Stamping blog and see what my creative stamping sisters made!

Sweet Shop!

Jacque — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:00:46 +0000

Have you seen the new Sweet Shop Product Suite in the Occasions Mini Catalog?!? It is so super cute! There are two great stamp sets, designer stickers, specialty designer series paper, Jelly Bean brads, Baker's Twine, a Fashionable Hearts embosslits die, and scented embossing powder (and boy does it smell good!)!!

We made this card at my Stamp-A-Stack this week:

I used both the Mouthwatering and Sweet Cake stamp sets, as well as the designer series paper. I also used several other items from the Occasions Mini Catalog including the Adorning Accents hearts embossing folder and the Labels Collection Framelits dies!

Remember when you were a kid and used to get the little candy necklaces?! I remember putting mine on (usually at a birthday party), taking little nibbles out of it, and trying to make it last as long as I could. Here's a fun project that your birthday girl (or boy) will love and will probably remember when they grow up too! Makes a cute little party favor too!
