Pretty Petites for My Friend

Hello friends and Happy Thursday!  I'm back today with another Sale-A-Bration card and this one is FULL of color and SAB items!  I have seen a TON of cute cards on Pinterst this week using the latest sketch challenge over at The Paper Players, so I decided to check it out this morning.  The cute Pretty Petites stamp set just screamed to be used for this sketch!

And I got to use more of the Sycamore Street DSP and Ribbon & Button Pack.  I don't know about you, but I am sad to see this years Sale-A-Bration come to an end...all of the freebies have been awesome!!!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Sycamore Street DSP

Ink ~ Tangerine Tango, Pool Party, Island Indigo, Rich Razzleberry

Other Supplies ~ Curly Label Punch, Petite Curly Label Punch, Bitty Butterfly Punch, Small Heart Punch, Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Basic Rhinestones, Sycamore Street Ribbons (Tangerine Tango) & Buttons (Rich Razzleberry) Pack, Pool Party Bakers Twine

This card has already found its way into the mail box and will soon be on its way to my good friend Tammy.  She's not only a friend, but like the sister I never had.  Our lives are busy and we don't get to see each other as much as we would like, but I'm hoping this card will let her know I'm thinking of her and cherish her friendship always!

Happy Stamping!

Just Because

With the new year here, I decided this year to not make resolutions, but set goals and create a Bucket List for the year.  I do much better when I have a list that I can check things off as I accomplish them :)  One of my goals this year is to send out at least one card a week, just because.  Everyone loves to get a card in the mail, especially when it is for nothing more than to say hi!

So, my first card that went out was this one...

The sketch for this card came from one of my favorite challenge sites...Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  If you haven't visited their site yet, add it to your Bucket List for this year...you won't regret it!

This bright and colorful DSP and fun stamp set are part of the Sale-A-Bration catalog, which will go live on January 22nd and run through March 22.  So many awesome new things you can earn for FREE during the SAB period!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Summer Starfruit, Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Island Indigo, Sycamore Street DSP*

Ink ~ Rich Razzleberry, Calypso Coral, Summer Starfruit, Pool Party, Island Indigo

Stamp Sets ~ Madison Avenue*, Vintage Verses*

Other Supplies ~ Vine Street Embossing Folder*,Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack*, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch

*Sale-A-Bration items*

Love, love, love all of these colors!  So bright and cheerful...perfect for this cold and dreary time of year.  This card went out to a new friend and fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator...can't wait to meet her in person at Convention!

Happy Stamping!

Feeling Sentimental meets World Spectacular Suite ~ SAB Sneak Peek

Finally got the chance to sit down and stamp!  I really wanted to hit my craft room early this morning, but my Christmas decorations were crying to be taken down.  As much as I love all of my Christmas decorations, it was time for them to come down.  We wrapped up our Christmas with one last celebration last night, so I had no excuses for leaving things up a day longer.  Tearing down all of the decorations turned into a major cleaning spree, which took up a better part of my day.  I now have a nice clean house and have all day tomorrow to play, which will hopefully include some stamping time too!

When I placed my {huge} Spring Catalog pre-order, I earned just about everything from the Sale-a-Bration catalog!  Shhhh...don't tell my hubby!  Just kidding!  As long as my crafting supplies don't take over any of his hunting room space, everyone is happy :)  One of the sets you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration is called Feeling Sentimental.  I'll admit, this was not my favorite and I almost didn't select it, but now that I've inked it up, I'm happy I got it!

Isn't that Ferris Wheel fun?  Pair it up with some of the goodies in the World Spectacular Suite and you've got yourself a fun birthday card!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Crumb Cake, World Spectacular DSP

Ink~ Island Indigo, Cherry Cobbler

Stamp Sets ~ Feeling Sentimental*, That's the Ticket**, You're Amazing

Other Supplies ~ Ticket Duo Builder Punch

It's hard to see in the picture, but the tickets are adhered with a staple...an embellishment I always forget about!

Better get my crafting space cleaned up and get myself to bed.  Weather pending, I'm planning on a long run in the morning.  I'm training for another half marathon and I've got a ways to go to get back up to speed!

Happy Stamping!
