Sale-a-Bration Birthday Love

The 2016 Sale-a-Bration is quickly coming to an end...did you get all of the free products that you wanted?!?!  I love Sale-a-Bration time and all of the excitement it brings to my customers.  It's exciting for me as well because it's also when I celebrate my Stampin' Up! anniversary.  This year marks 4 years!  I initially signed up just to get the demonstrator discount, but my best friend talked me into starting a club which is still going strong today and continues to grow every year :-)
We are sharing some of our Sale-a-Bration favorites over at Stylin' Stampin' Inspiration today and What I Love is one of my favorite stamp sets from this year.  I love the 2-step stamp sets...or in this case, 3-step stamp set.  They give you the option to layer colors and have some fun!
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, 2015-2017 In Color DSP Stack
Ink ~ Watermelon Wonder, Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron, Lost Lagoon
Stamp Set ~ What I Love, Number of Years
Other Supplies ~ Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim, White Perfect Accents, Brick Wall Embossing Folder

I used this sweet sketch from Sugar Pea Designs as inspiration for today's card. I love the layout of this sketch...it will be one I use again!

I hope you are all having a great week so far!

Happy Stamping!

Pocketful of Cheer

Hello stampers and happy Friday!
 
Did you know that Paper Pumpkin just celebrated their 3rd birthday AND shipped their ONE MILLIONTH KIT?!?! 
 
It's such a treat to receive a crafty surprise in the mail every month.  I have to admit, in the beginning I wasn't too sure about Paper Pumpkin, but every month the kits get better and better!  March's kit was no exception...the Pocketful of Cheer kit is so bright and cheerful and perfect for any upcoming birthday's or graduations you may have in your family.
I pretty much made the projects as they were shown in the instructions, but I do still have few pieces left over that I'm looking forward to playing around with.
 
How would you like to receive a fun box of craftiness every month, delivered right to your doorstep?   What about a kit with an EXCLUSIVE stamp set in addition to the stamp set in the kit? 
Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin before April 10th and you will receive April's Paper Pumpkin kit along with the exclusive stamp set as a thank you from the Paper Pumpkin Team!
 
Happy Stamping!

Not only is Easter this weekend, but it is also the due date for two of my friends..can't wait for new babies!
My amazing group of fire wives celebrated with a new momma-to-be, who is anxiously awaiting the arrival of baby Jackson and I made this adorable banner to hang up at the baby shower.  The baby's room is all decorated in a Woodland Animal theme, so I just had to dig out an old favorite to stamp these cute little critters.
 Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Tip Top Taupe, Hello Honey, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Sweet Li'l Things DSP, Watercolor Paper
Ink ~ Tip Top Taupe, Old Olive, Watermelon Wonder, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Tangelo Twist
Stamp Sets ~ Larger Than Life Alphabet & Numbers, Life in the Forest
Other Supplies ~ Woodland Embossing Folder, Circle Framelits, Party Pennants Bigz Die, Linen Thread, Felt Pom-Poms

I love making banners and was honored to make this for baby Jackson!
