Product Spotlight Blog Hop Day!

Hey there!

I'm pleased to be a part of the Product Spotlight Blog Hop again this week! You may have just come from Joni's blog. Welcome here! We are featuring the Carried Away Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration catalog - so fun! I just love the colors and have had soooo much fun designing with both this paper and the Lift Me Up stamp set and Up & Away framelits that coordinate with it.

I love how coordinating stamp sets and framelits make it just so fast and easy to create a cute card! And the fact that the designer paper coordinates with both of them makes me happy. And the fact that you can get it for free when you purchase the stamp set and framelits should make YOU happy! I can ship anywhere in Canada. Order from my online store & I'll send you a special handmade card to say thank you!

Thanks for stopping by! Now go check out the next stop on the hop - Robbie's blog!

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!

Here's what I used to make this card:

Isn't this set just so darn cute?! It was my number one must-have item from the new Occasions catalog. It is SO easy to make adorable cards with. It just begs them out of you. You barely even have to be creative. And the best part is... during Sale-a-bration, purchasing the wood stamp set and framelit bundle is qualifies you to get the coordinating Carried Away Designer Series Paper for FREE! You can only get it during Sale-a-bration with a $60 order. The bundle is $68.25 for wood-mount or $59.25 for cling-mount. It's a no-brainer.

You might look at the stamp set and think, huh. That sentiment doesn't look the same in this card. And you'd be right. Every once in a while, I like to switch things up by taking the scissors to the sentiments and arranging them the way the card wants. It was going to be too bulky for this card the way the sentiment is arranged on the stamp, so I improvised! You aren't a slave to the stamp. I've even heard of people *gasp* cutting up their STAMPS so that they're more flexible. I haven't gone that far lately. I have done it though :)

What's your favorite bundle in the new catalog?

Thoughtful Thursday & A Sneak Peek

I have had quite the morning. This has been my view this morning:

 Because I'm a demonstrator, I get to order things a little earlier than you. So I've spent the morning putting in my huge big preorder of Occasions and Sale-a-bration product!! SO FUN! For a couple of hours, I forget that Christmas hasn't even happened yet and I go wild. I can't wait to get all my new stamps and tools and accessories in!! Have I mentioned how much I love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator?!?

So, sorry my blog post is up a little later than usual. I've been busy!! I have all sorts of things on the calendar for the new year - so if you haven't seen it yet, check it out now! New things are being added all the time, too.

ANYWAYS... I thought that in honor of Preorder Day,  I'd share a little sneaky peek with you guys too :) I hope you love it as much as I do... and I cannot WAIT to do a class using this set with you all. It's so awesome. You're going to love it!!

ALSO (I know, I know, it's a big day!) - there is a Year-End Closeout Sale happening on the Clearance Rack starting today!! Check it out!
