Stampin’ Up! So Kind Big on You!

Stampin’ Up! So Kind Big on You!

Hey there! Have you ever did something for one reason and then discovered later that what you did was actually for a completely different reason? I’ve been so preoccupied with prepping for my presentation on Saturday that I forgot to mention I earned the Stampin’ Up! Getaway Trip to Newport Beach, CA last week! I need to give all of you a big THANK YOU because YOU have helped me earn it!

10801625_10152709323779039_4900322356634132485_n Newport1
The Stampin’ Up! year isn’t over until June 30, and there’s still an even BIGGER trip to earn – the Grand Vacation to the Mediterranean!

1461871_10202685649373124_9055125662498999893_n France, Spain, and Italy have always been on my bucket list. Earning this trip would truly be a dream come true!

I usually have the Grand Vacation earned by now. I knew when I took almost two months off to help take care of my daughters and new grand babies that earning even the Getaway might not be possible. I don’t regret for one minute making my family a priority, but I’m not ashamed to ask for your help now to help me achieve this life-long dream. How can you help? Place an order in my online store and let me send you a Thank-You Project Packet. I only need a little over 9,000 points to be Mediterranean bound!

Here’s where my earlier question comes into play. I didn’t realize when I created today’s card for my Big on You series that it really was for all of you!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! I am still in Tennessee this morning, but I'm going to post these cards without the creators names for now and when I get home tonight I will add them.

First, a pretty rendition of Painted Petals with a Something Lacy background. The "HAPPY BIRTH DAY" greeting is from the Honeycomb Hello set.

4/27/15 edit: This card was created by Linda Pagel

Stampin_up_painted_petals_1

Next, the gold foil butterfly really pops on the Crisp Cantaloupe paper over a Basic Black Something Lacy background. A Gold Glimmer paper banner and gold basic buttons continue the theme.

4/27/15 edit: This card was created by Sue Barreth

Stampin_up_something_lacy

For this swap a Daffodil Delight Something Lacy background was paired with a Blackberry Bliss Crazy about You flower. The Lost Lagoon card base and 3/5" Stitched Satin ribbon is the perfect background and complement.

4/27/15 edit: This card was created by Kathy Morgan

Stampin_up_crazy_for_you

Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White was paired with the For the New Two stamp set for this tri-fold wedding card. The flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack was used to punch the blooms, which are centered with Pearls Basic Jewels.

4/27/15 edit: This card was created by Susie Wood.

Stampin_up_wedding_1

Something Lacy for the center fold:

Stampin_up_wedding_2

And a sentiment from  For the New Two finishes it up!

Stampin_up_wedding_3

That's all for today. I will be make the 4 hour drive later today. I've loved spending time with my SIL and her grand children, but I'm definitely ready to be home.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there. Today is a special day. Our youngest grand-babies, Lando and Darcy, are going to be dedicated to the Lord in the morning service. Parents and grandparents promise to raise these babies to know and love the Lord. It is a humbling but awesome responsibility.

Of course, with Sunday comes swaps to share, and today is no exception:

Raedean Shibata combined the Dictionary background  and the Bravo set for her graduation creation:

Stampin_up_bravo_1

She used Stars Framelits, adding a second Basic Black star behind the Dictionary-stamped one for a subtle shadow effect. She added a Silver Foil star and used the Confetti Stars punch. She used a bit of  Epic Day Designer Washi Tape (Basic Gray stripes) and All Is Calm Designer Washi Tape (dots) which is still available on the Clearance Rack for half price!

  Stampin_up_bravo_2 Find everything you need, including the Clearance Rack All is Calm Washi Tape pack, in My Online Store:

Next, Cathy Stephenson used  I Love Lace background with Blackberry Bliss, adding Iridescent Ice embossing to the Blackberry Bliss-sponged Pansy-punched flower, centering with  Petite Petals and Itty Bitty Accents-punched blooms.

Stampin_up_i_love_lace

Stampin’ Up! Another Thank You and Newest Weekly Deals!

Stampin’ Up! Another Thank You and Newest Weekly Deals!

Hey there! I had a relaxing girls-day-out yesterday: lunch with two of my daughters at Applebee's, a bit of shopping where I found my favorite Clark's sandals on sale, and then a long-overdue mani-pedi! yay!

Today's card I created for the bride-to-be to use for her thank-you's. We gave all shower attendees the envelope to fill out their name and address to make it easier for the bride. I kept with the bride's color scheme of Crumb Cake, Pool Party, and Very Vanilla to create this:

Stampin_up_another_thank_you_1

I couldn't resist pulling out my retired Cannery Framelits Dies because they just went perfectly with the theme, and I was delighted to discover that the "thank you" I chose from the photopolymer Another Thank You set had teeny-tiny hearts lined up under the words!

Stampin_up_something_lacy

After I cut out the canning jar with the Cannery Framelit, I embossed it with the Happy Heart Textured Impressions Folder. I tied a bit of Linen Thread around the top of the can, then adhered a heart punched from the same white-embossed Something Lacy that I used on the table decorations using the heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

Stampin_up_honeycomb_hello

I found hearts that matched the Itty Bitty Shapes heart punch in both the Honeycomb Hello and the Hello Life stamp sets. I also used these same two hearts to stamp on the Crumb Cake envelope. I decided to leave the rest of the inside layer blank so the bride would have plenty of room to write her thank-you notes.

That's all for now, except for giving you the list of available supplies to make your own thank-you notes and the Weekly Deals!
