Dragonflies Dream of Looking This Good

hey friends! So whaddaya think? Like my card for today? I designed this card for my friend Leanna's workshop. I hadn't played much with this set yet and I was excited to dig into it. And I LOVE the result. This is another one of those bundles where the stamps pretty much just tell you what to make with them; there's not a whole lot of creativity necessary to make awesome-looking cards!!

AND the bonus - when you purchase the Dragonfly Dreams bundle that includes the stamps and framelits, you can also get the Inside the Lines Designer Paper for free. (yay, sale-a-bration!) I'm including the product numbers for you here:

144728    $60.25    Dragonfly Dreams Bundle
143830    FREE     Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper

Happy Stamping!

The Sweetest Little Ice Cream Truck There Ever Was

OK. You've heard me talk A LOT about Mexico. So I was (understandably) VERY excited when I saw this stamp set offered for FREE during Sale-a-bration!! It has a taco truck in it!! Yes!

I must confess something to you all. I haven't actually used the taco stamp in this set yet. I know, I know. Shame.

 Once I opened this stamp set, this card was just BEGGING to be made. Does that ever happen to you? Where you have one plan but the images and the colors just take you in a completely different direction?! I had no choice. I was powerless to stop it. And I love the result. Taco Truck for Dinner, Ice Cream Truck for dessert!!

I used the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper as the background and for color inspiration, and I watercolored the truck after stamping it in StazOn.

Here's today's Sale-a-Bration bundle:
142788    $14.50    Falling in Love Designer Series Paper
142789    $13.75    Falling in Love 12x12 Cardstock Pack

TOTAL:  $62.75
143300    FREE!    Tasty Trucks Stamp Set

Watercolor Pencils - Get them today while you still can!

You may not have had a chance to get your hands on these lovely little watercolor pencils yet... but I'm here today to tell you that you NEED them and you want to order them today! Why? They have been so super popular that they are turning off orderability tomorrow - and it may be a couple of months before they have sufficient stock in house to be able to open ordering again. But as of today, they're taking backorders! Yay! So get them today!

ALSO... Stitched Shapes Framelits are back IN stock after a few-months-long-hiatus. If you remember, Stampin' Up! blew through its stock in two weeks back in October. That stock was supposed to last until MAY. They're back in stock and orderable now as of this week!! yes! So order both, and do it on online order CRRASAHC and I'll send you a free little bundle of Designer Series Paper. The shapes come in an array of circles, squares, and ovals - and they coordinate perfectly with our Layering Circles, Squares, and Ovals Framelits! They are a must-have. And while you're there, make sure you spend $60 so you can get a Sale-a-bration freebie!!

Do You Like To Swap?

Conferences are a GREAT place to swap. This is another Stampin' Up! tradition - when demonstrators get together, we share ideas. At the Canadian Business Conference this weekend, the organizers put together set sampler swaps - so we signed up for a particular stamp set and designed a card featuring that stamp set and made 11 of them. Then, they will take the samples and make a sampler for us of all the different cards!

Here's mine using the Lift Me Up stamp set:

This is probably one of my favorite cards I've designed from the new catalog. I can't even tell you how much I love these balloons. It's a lot. This bundle is just so easy to use!! And I love that when you buy it, you can earn the coordinating Sale-a-Bration paper pack, Carried Away, for free.

Yay!

Pillow Gifts are the BEST!

I'm in Toronto this weekend for the Stampin' Up! Canadian Business Conference, and I am looking forward to giving some gifts I've gotten ready to a friend of mine! :) It's a tradition at Stampin' Up! events to give "pillow" gifts to your roommate - to sneak little handstamped trinkets onto their beds at some point during the day. Here's tonight's gift:

 

Yup, it's that cute little Window Shopping set again! I posted another box I made with it yesterday, and if you didn't see that post you should check it out :) This time, I wanted to use the floral motif cutout for the front of the box. Isn't it just absolutely gorgeous?! So pretty and easy. I put both of these boxes together in less than 15 minutes, designing to done. (I love quick projects!)

My tip for assembling these boxes? Tear and Tape adhesive. SO quick and easy!!

AND, just like I said yesterday... if you purchase this bundle you can earn a free sale-a-bration item! Woohoo!

Happy Stamping!
