Feeling Sentimental Card 3

Feeling Sentimental Card 3

The third card in my Feeling Sentimental series was inspired by Norma Pimentel.  She created a set of cards that were very simple and had a similar layout.  I decided to increase the layers by adding some Designer Series Paper and additional card stock.

To create this card, you will need:

  • Very Vanilla Card Stock
  • Summer Starfruit Card Stock
  • Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set (2013 Sale-A-Bration Set)
  • Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper (2013 Sale-A-Bration Reward)
  • Needlepoint Border Textured Impressions Embossing Folders
  • Loving Thoughts Stamp Set
  • Soft Suede Ink

This stamp set lends itself well to simple yet elegant cards.  The detail in the stamps make the card look very beautiful.  Check back tomorrow for the final Feeling Sentimental card.

God Bless and Happy Stampin’!

Sentimental Day 1

Cards, Sale-A-Bration

I recently did a workshop for a group of lovely ladies in Arlington, WA and I decided to feature the Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set from Sale-A-Bration.  When I first saw this set, I wasn’t sure how I would use it, but I saw a few samples at a Stampin’ Up! meeting which inspired some ideas, so it was one of my next rewards.

I came up with four designs for the workshop.  One card that featured all the images and then three other cards that featured the individual images alone.  I’m going to share these cards over the next four days.  All the cards were inspired by designs I saw on Pinterest.

Feeling Sentimental Card 1

Feeling Sentimental Card 1

The first card features all the images from the Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set.  It was inspired by one done by Elizabeth Hurst.  Each square only shows a portion of the entire stamped image.

I stamped the images onto Very Vanilla card stock using Midnight Muse ink.  I layered the images onto Midnight Muse card stock before adhering to the card.

The card base is Crumb Cake and I used First Edition Designer Series Paper.  I distressed the designer series paper by crinkling it together and then applying a bit of Midnight Muse ink to the designer series paper.

I left the inside blank so that I can add any any kind of message for a celebratory occasion.

If you like Feeling Sentimental, you have until March 22 to place an order of $50 or more to receive this set for free.  Visit my website or contact me about placing an order.  See you tomorrow with another Feeling Sentimental Card.

God Bless and Happy Stampin’!

Pop Up Posies

03 Sunday Mar 2013

Posted by Charity in 3-D Projects, 3D projects, all occasion cards, Products, Projects, Sale-A-Bration

≈ Leave a comment

At the beginning of February, I attended the Spring meeting for my Stampin’ Up! demonstrator group, SB Stampers.  This is one of the things I really enjoy about Stampin’ Up!; getting together with other stampers and crafters to talk shop and make some projects.  We always have some great samples and Make and Takes at our meetings.  This one was no exception.

I don’t remember the last name of the demonstrator who designed our Make and Take projects, but I know her first name was Mary.  So a shout out to Mary of SB Stampers for these great ideas!

Pop Up Posies Make and Take

We used the Pop Up Posies Designer Kit from the 2013 Occasions catalog.  This kit is great and there are so many pieces and great ideas for it.  With the addition of some designer series paper, cellophane bags, ribbon, button, and cardstock, we made a cute Love banner, Easter Treat Bag, and two cards.  The item number is 131395 and for $12.95 (US), you get the following:

  • 9 embossed paper tags
  • 9 fabric covered brads (6 Very Vanilla and 3 Summer Starfruit)
  • Pre-cut paper flowers in Pool Party and Calypso Coral
  • Paper “cupcake” liners to make flowers, Very Vanilla
  • 9 pieces of thick Vanilla Baker’s Twine
  • Just for You wood mounted stamp.

If you would like to host a class in your home to create these or similar projects, you will receive the Just For You stamp and any remaining items left from the Pop Up Posies kit.  Also, if you host a show and all orders are submitted by March 22, 2013, you are eligible for the great benefits of Sale-A-Bration.

≈ Leave a comment

I’m announcing a new Hostess Benefit offered by me personally.  Many of you love to attend my workshops and classes, learning lots of new techniques while taking home a great project.  I also know that during the holidays, things get busy and money gets tight.  So, I’m offering a special for anyone who decides to host a show.  If you host a show in your home (or other location), you will be able to attend 3 of my classes for free (after your show closes).  If someone books a show during the show you host, you will earn 2 additional classes per person.  I’m currently accepting bookings for November, December, January and beyond!

I know that most of you are barely thinking much past tomorrow let alone to January, but I just had to share that I got the new Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs today with my latest copy of Stampin’ Success.  And, I must say, “WOW, WOW, WOW!”  The Occasions has so much to offer- great new stamp sets, papers, accessories, and decor elements.  And the Sale-A-Bration items, I want to earn it all- some of it multiple times!  The Occasions selling period will begin January 4 (as the Holdiay Mini closes) and Sale-A-Bration will begin January 25.  Email me today to book your show!

Another Birthday Card

23 Tuesday Mar 2010

Posted by Charity in Birthday cards, Sale-A-Bration

≈ Leave a comment

Since I have the birthday stamp-a-stack coming up on March 27, I’ve been playing with a variety of birthday card designs.  This card uses one of my favorite unexpected color combinations- brown with pink.  To create this card, you will need:

  • Stamp Sets:  Party Hearty, Whimsical Words
  • Card Stock:  Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla
  • Designer Series Paper:  Welcome Neighbor
  • Classic Stampin’ Pad:  Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip
  • Accessories:  1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon

This card is pretty simple, stamp the images, layer the pieces together and viola, you have a card.  :O) I stamped the candles using the Pretty in Pink onto the Very Vanilla.  I distressed the edges of the Very Vanilla with my thumb and then wrapped a piece of grosgrain ribbon around the card stock at one end.  I then layered it onto my card front with a piece of the designer series paper.  I stamped the sentiment using Chocolate Chip and then layered it onto a piece of Chocolate Chip and then another piece of the Designer Series Paper I used with the candle image.  I then layered this onto the card front. 

God Bless and Happy Stampin’!

Burnt Birthday Card

22 Monday Mar 2010

Posted by Charity in Birthday cards, Sale-A-Bration

≈ Leave a comment

This card is inspired/CASEd from several others that I’ve seen previously, even retail ones where it looks like the card caught on fire because of the number of candles.  Whenever I see the Whimsical Words set and the sentiment, “The more the candles, the bigger the wish,” I think of those cards.  So, I decided to come up with my own version.  For my version of this card, I used:

  • StampSets:  Party Hearty, Whimsical Words
  • Card Stock:  Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla
  • Inks:  Versamark, Dusty Durango Classic Stampin’ Pad, Basic Black Classic Stampin’ Pad

To create the card I first used the Versamark to stamp candles all over the card front.  Then, I tore a portion of the top corner off and rubbed the edges of the card with my Basic Black.  I did the same with a piece of Very Vanilla using Dusty Durango and then layered that on the card with a piece of Crushed Curry.  In the lower corner I layered a piece of Very Vanilla stamped with my sentiment onto the Crushed Curry.  This finished up my card.

God Bless and Happy Stampin’!

Ready, Set, Sale-A-Brate!

05 Tuesday Jan 2010

Posted by Charity in Promotions, Sale-A-Bration

≈ Leave a comment

It’s January 5th and do you know what that means? SALE-A-BRATION IS HERE! A stampers favorite time of the year. At least it is this stampers favorite stampin time of the year! It is also the debut of the New Occasions Mini Catalog, a new insert for Definitely Decorative, and a new promotion featuring heart shaped sweet treat cups. What a wonderful day for stampers!

First, new Occasions Mini Catalog. As with the previous Holiday Catalog, two additional hostess sets are offered for Level 1 and Level 2. Stampin’ Up! TM will also offer their new Clear Mount Stamp Blocks and all stamp sets in this mini will be offered in either as wood mounted or unmounted. This is great for those of us who are running low on storage but high on desire for more stamps. 🙂 There has also been a change to the punch design. The new punches feature slimmer design and a locking feature which will make storage easier. There is also a Designer Series Paper Stack Pack- 48 sheets of 24 double sided 12×12 sheets which coordinate with the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt. There is also a new Big Shot Die- milk cartons. These will be perfect for Easter treats. I know I’ll be getting this die and filling it with my favorite Easter candy- Robin’s Eggs. YUM! There is also a cute Egg Decorating Kit. At $9.95, I plan to order this for the kids this year. They love to decorate eggs and all you have to add to this kit is some egg dye and the eggs. They’ve also added some Mini On Board Sizzlits Dies for Valentines and Easter. FUN! You won’t be disappointed in this Mini!
And many of your new favorites will remain- all the Build A Bear Dies and stamps from the Holiday mini, the Sweet Treat Cups and My Digital Studio have been carried over. Also, the shimmer paints will be available as a write in.
For those of you on my mailing list, I’ve opted to hand deliver your mini this season. Many of you received your Holiday Mini late so I’m going to personally deliver them the first week of January. If you haven’t received one from me (or one dutifully dropped off by my wonderful husband), please email me so we can arrange a drop off. You can also view it online by visiting my website or following the links in the sidebar. Check out your Occasions Mini Catalog and find your favorite stamp set. I bet you can guess my favorite set. I’ll give you a hint, Tessa considers it her favorite as well.
Stampin’ Up! is also adding an insert to the current Definitely Decorative Catalog. My favorite new item- Chalkboard Vinyls! WOW! I’m looking forward to adding a few items to my walls here at home.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Stampin’ Up! will be offering the Sweet Treat Cups in a heart shape along with a Sweetheart coordinating stamp set. These cups coordinate with the Full Heart Punch. The sweet treat cups will only be $2.95 per package and each package will contain 12 cups. The stamp set will be available mounted ($21.95) and unmounted ($15.95). They work the same way as the circle version of the cups.
Now, for everyone’s favorite- The Sale-A-Bration Catalog! Most of you are already familiar with Sale-A-Bration, but just in case you may have forgotten or are new here, I’ll go over the details.
The Sale-A-Bration catalog offers 6 different products that you can earn for FREE! Products include 4 stamp sets, 1 paper stack and a punch. You can earn 1, 2, … or ALL items depending on what you do between January 5 – March 31, 2010. And, if you are like some of my regulars, you may end up earning all products before Sale-A-Bration is over. If that is the case or if you don’t want any of the Sale-A-Bration items, you can also select from a list of stamp sets available in the current Idea Book and Catalog.
Here is how you earn free Sale-A-Bration Items.
  1. SPEND: For every $50 (before tax and shipping) you spend, you earn a free Sale-A-Bration item. Spend $100, you earn 2 items, $150, three items… You get the picture.
  2. HOST: Host a workshop of at least $300 (before tax and shipping) and you earn one free Sale-A-Bration item in addition to the normal hostess benefits (hostess set and free merchandise). Have a $600 show and you will receive 2 Sale-A-Bration items. This is a perfect time to host a show. Sale-A-Bration generates sales because all your guests want to earn free merchandise as well and will tend to spend more. Plus, you host a show and I do all the work. I’ll send the evites for you, prep the make & takes, and bring a plate of goodies to share with your guests. You barely have to lift a finger!
  3. JOIN: Join my team during Sale-A-Bration and you will be able to choose a FREE stamp set from the current Idea Book and Catalog that is valued at up to $47.95.

Sale-A-Bration is here for a short time. Don’t miss these great deals and benefits. Even if you don’t have a stamp set on your list, it is the perfect time to stock up on paper, adhesives, and other miscellaneous supplies while earning free stuff.

Also, if your significant other needs some ideas for Valentine’s Day, why not create a wish list? Send me your wish list (including the Sale-A-Bration must haves) and let your significant other know that I have the perfect gift idea for you. I’ll place the order, have it shipped to my home, wrap it and include a handmade card. All they have to do is provide the payment and sign the card. Viola, Valentine’s Day without the last minute card hunt and dash to the florist. And, even if they wait until the last minute, I’ll package your surprise in such a clever way, you won’t mind waiting for the real thing to arrive.

Place an order, book a show and then sit back and wait for your FREE items to arrive!

God Bless and Happy Stampin!

Charity
