Another Great Year New Product card

I used some of the new items available in the Stampin' Up! Occasions catalogue to create this card ....

I had a Tea Party when the new Occasions Catalogue went live in early January.  This is the make 'n take card everyone who attended, made.  I also used some of the Sale-A-Bration designer paper called Sweet Sorbet.  I was not sure I would like this paper, but as usual, I was wrong!  It is fabulous and I love the colours.  And, the best thing is, IT"S FREEEEEEEEEEEEE.... lol

Another Great Year!

When I saw the new Hexagon Hive die from Stampin' Up! I put it on my must have right now list ...

This is one of those cards you can whip up in about 15 minutes when you suddenly realize you NEED a Birthday card right now!  It can be made in any colour and can be feminine, masculine, a boy or a girl.

  Stamps:  Another Great Year
  Ink:  Stazon, Real Red Marker
  Paper:  Whisper White, Real Red
  Other:  Hexagon Hive die, large rhinestone (coloured with a red sharpie marker), wax paper

A trick to using this die, and some of the other ones that are intricate, is to put a piece of wax paper between the die and your cardstock before you run it through your Big Shot.  Then the cardstock pops right off the die and there is no tearing or ripping at all.  Give it a try, this die is very fun to use.

Happy Stampin' ......  

Another Great Year Make 'n Take Birthday Card

Yesterday I had a Tea Party showcasing some of the products in the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue and upcoming Sale-A-Bration brochure .....

Along with the Door Prize we also made this awesome happy and fun birthday card.  I used several of the new products from the Occasions Catalogue (available today!!!) and SAle-A-Bration brochure (available Jan 28th).
The background is made with the new Scallops Embossing Folder, I turned it sideways on the paper then I used the debossed side.  The tag on the front is a piece of Whisper White cardstock which started out 2" x 4".  Then I punched it with the new Scallop Tag Topper Punch.  I love how I can create tags any length I want and I can also scallop them on both ends too!  I stamped images from the new stamp set Another Great Year also in the new catalogue.  The designer series paper on the bottom is from the Sweet Sorbet DSP in the Sale-A-Bration brochure. You can get an entire package of 12 sheets for FREE with your $60 purchase of Stampin' Up! products.  Just that easy and quick.  Then I topped it all off with a bow made from the new Silver Baker's Twine. It was very fast and easy to make this eye catching card.
