Last Chance!! Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-Bration ends TODAY.
This card features the Sale-a-Bration set Botanical Blooms and the In Colours Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point and Baja Breeze. I love two step stamping with the same colour ink because it's EASY and I don't have to think too hard... The solid image is inked up, then stamped on a scrap piece of paper before being stamped on cardstock - a "second generation" image. The outline image is stamped straight onto the cardstock - a "first generation" image. This way, the outline shows clearly over the slightly lighter coloured solid image but the colours coordinate perfectly. This stamp set also has gradations in the image itself, which adds another level of colour too!
Sale-a-Bration ends today, but that doesn't mean that there's nothing exciting coming up in April...I promise! There's a new special (watch here for more details) plus don't forget STAMPIN' SATURDAY from noon til 3 pm on the 18th of April here in Burlington ON - $25 if you register by April 4th - we'll be doing a mini stamp a stack plus creating two 3D projects! Contact me for more information or to reserve your spot!
A spring-like scrapbook layout that was done at club recently. Can you tell what my new "toy" is?! The eyelet border punch - which is used everywhere on this layout - love it!!
Used the chalks on versamark (poppin' pastels) technique for a softer look for the page. Sweet Always Designer Series paper makes the layout quick!! The two pink panels are simply one of the sheets cut in half. Too pretty to hide!
Supplies: Cardstocks: Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette Sweet Always Designer Series Paper Stamp set: Dreams Du Jour Accessories: Eyelet Border Punch, 1-1/4" circle punch, 1-3/8" circle punch

So here is a new idea for all you Decor Elements fans out there!! Stampin' Up! has released a video showing us how to use our Decor Elements on shower curtains. What a neat idea. This will make decorating your bathroom even easier. Check out the video below:

The Starter Kit is on sale during Sale-a-Bration (until March 31st) - 15% off plus an additional stamp set of your choice!! There are no shipping charges (ever). If you're in Canada and are interested in boosting your income, this is a great way to do it - and Stampin' Up has just introduced an option to purchase the starter kit with a payment plan. Starting your own business has never been easier! While Sale-a-Bration (and the special reduced price) only lasts until March 31st, the three payment option runs until the end of April.
If you'd like to take advantage of the three payment option AND Sale-a-Bration, please contact me ASAP as your papers must be received in Calgary by March 31st. On line sign ups are not eligible for this deferred payment plan.

Do you have a catalog and have you seen the exclusive Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die on page 202 (item #114517 for $9.50)?
Well as of March 1st, it's available for purchase. It's just such an elegant die and coordinates beautifully with our Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set (which, if you've been to a class with me lately, you'll know I LOVE).
This card is from a recent swap that I participated in. Stampin' Up! demonstrators in our group across Canada created cards to share with one another - this is by Beth Klippenstein using the stamp set A Kind Word. I love the colours and the eyelet border punch - a new favourite! I also love how Beth used coordinating designer series paper, cardstock and colouring media (the main one being Perfect Plum). Always nice to easily match Stampin' Up! colours. Here's hoping we'll all be swinging in bare feet soon!
