Sale-A-Brate with Country Floral

SPRING is finally here and, naturally, it puts one to thinking about sunshine and flowers! The Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is the perfect touch for spring projects and it’s a FREE Sale-A-Bration Item with any $50 Product Order.

COUNTRY FLORAL DYNAMIC TEXTURED IMPRESSIONS EMBOSSING FOLDER

That’s right. It’s FREE with any $50 Product Order! This can help you make such beautiful projects, and it’s so versatile!

For this card, I used Powder Pink Stampin’ Ink and Cardstock. I inked the Country Floral Embossing Folder with Powder Pink Stampin’ Ink, then placed a piece Whisper White Cardstock in the Folder and ran it through the Big Shot. I loved the subtle elegance! I ran a piece of the Powder Pink Cardstock through the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the base, then punched out a piece of it from the center using the Story Label Punch, a Sale-A-Bration Coordination Item available for purchase. The sentiment is from the Part of My Story Cling Stamp Set and is also a Sale-A-Bration Item FREE with any $50 Product Order.

I just couldn’t resist pairing this folder with a piece of the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper Sale-A-Bration Item. I used a piece of Lemon Lime Twist (retiring soon!) Cardstock and the Tea Room Ribbon Combo Pack for the ribbon. An elegant touch!

I love working with Stampin’ Up’s Vellum Cardstock, so I ran it through the Country Floral Embossing Folder, then used Stampin’ Blends to add touches of color to accent some of the elements. The sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Stamp Set found in the Occasions Catalog. The Calypso Coral Twine is from a past Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Fun with the Petal Passion Suite

At the February Quick and Easy Cards Class, we used the Petal Passion Suite to create 6 beautiful cards.

Petal Passion Suite Designer Series Paper

The Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is gorgeous, but it becomes even more versatile when you color it!

At the Cards Class, we used the technique on the left, a Sponge Brayer and Stampin’ Ink. This piece of the Petal Passion Paper was inked with the Pool Party Stampin’ Ink Pad. The Sponge Brayer makes so easy! I put alcohol and a Stampin’ Up Ink Refill in the Stampin’ Up Stampin’ Spritzer, then sprayed the middle piece. On the third piece, I used the Stampin’ Up Sponge Dauber and picked up the color from the Calypso Coral Stampin’ Up Ink Pad to daub it on the Petal Passion paper. Amazingly simple to create so many different looks!

Look at the stellar results from using the Stampin’ Blends to color it! I truly love this Petal Passion Designer Series Paper. And the Blends make even me look like an artist!

Here is a list of the Stampin’ Up Products used in these projects:

Sponge Brayer Item 141714 $8

Sponge Dauber Item 133773 $5

Stampin’ Spritzer Item 126185 $3

Stampin’ Blends $4.50 each or $9 Combo Pack

Stampin’ Ink Pads $6.50 each

We made 3 cards in Class using the Petal Passion Suite.

On this one we used the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Love the Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock paired with the Sweet Sugarplum Stampin’ Ink. The Petals & More Thinlits Dies were used to cut out the “flyaway” leaves and the sentiment from the Petal Palette Stamp Set.

We also made 2 other cards using this fabulous Suite.

I just love, love this little bird, which is stamped here in Marina Mist, but it’s also adorable stamped in pink or yellow or black, and can easily be colored with the Stampin’ Blends. The flowers are from the Petal Palette Stamps, stamped in Berry Burst. So versatile!!

Go to my website, click on the “Join the Fun” tab. Or contact me TODAY to join the FUN with the Crafting on the Hill Team Find out more at http://www.craftingonthehill.stampinup.net.

I’m here to be your Creative Coach and bring out your “inner crafter!”

Southern Serenade

Southern Serenade Parade of Colors!

The Southern Serenade Stamps Set from the Occasions 2018 Catalog just sings to me! Such a beautiful set and paired with the Stampin’ Blends it produces gorgeous projects.

This is colored with the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Combos. I adhered it to half of a Doily and the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack, mounted on a sheet of Daffodil Delight Cardstock. I added a piece of the Daffodil Delight Double Stitched Ribbon for just the right accent. The sentiment is from the Southern Serenade Stamp Set, then cut out with a Stitched Shapes Framelit.

The Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends Combo Set just makes the flowers pop! I used Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock and paper from the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack. The sentiment is from the Petal Palette Stamps Set. I used the Fresh Fig 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon for a contrast.

I entered this card in an online challenge, and I won!! Woohoo! Pool Party is one of my favorite colors, so that’s what I used here, as well as the Color Theory Designer Series Paper. I used the Banners For You Stamps and the coordinating Bunches of Banners Die Set for the sentiment.

I thought the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack provided a great contrast with the Pink Pirouette. I used the new Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to add a little more texture. Linen Thread is one of my favorite accents–so versatile!

Lovely lace and great sentiments really make this Southern Serenade Stamp Set a “not to missed” item to order!

Stampin’ Blends are incredible. They easily make me look like an artist! They’re available as a complete set, or you may purchase them singly or as a combo pack. Such a great variety of colors! You really need to see, feel, touch them to see what beautiful projects they produce.

There’s an upcoming Class where you can do just that!

Lots of Happy Card Kit

The Lots of Happy Card Kit from the new Stampin’ Up Occasions Catalog makes me “HAPPY!” It’s an all inclusive Kit with everything you need to complete to make 20 cards, including stamps, ink, a stamp block, adhesives, embellishments, envelopes and FOUR watercolor pencils. Watercoloring these cards was actually quickly done using Blender Pens.

Here’s a “group shot” of these gorgeous cards. Truly beautiful!

As you can see, I used the stamp set that was included to decorate the envelopes, also.

The close up shots of each card:

Stampin’ Up also offers a complete set of Watercolor Pencils with even more colors, so I pulled out a couple of those for some alternate ideas.

I wanted a truer blue for the lavender, so I used the Pacific Point Watercolor Pencil.

I used the Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencil and Wink of Stella on this card. See the shine on the flowers? Just that little extra touch with Wink of Stella!

So much fun to complete this Kit!

Look at everything that’s included!

This all-inclusive Kit is just $35.00 in the Occasions Catalog, Item 146388. Add just $15 in product to that order and get a FREE Sale-A-Bration Item that coordinates with the Lots of Lavender Stamp Set.

One of my favorite things about using Stampin’ Up products is that everything is coordinated for you! And this Lots of Lavender Stamp Set perfectly coordinates with the Lots of Happy Card Kit.

Let’s Celebrate Sale-A-Bration!!

April 19th, 6-8:30 PM

Painted with Love Sampler and Card

What a winter we’ve had here in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia! Arctic cold temps (colder than Alaska!), snow and ice. But I’ve begun my SPRING Countdown on my Facebook Page, which I’ve done for several years and now have requests for every year. A fun way to look forward to spring!

But first…Valentine’s Day!!

Painted with Love Suite Sampler and Card

The Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper is just so elegant and gorgeous, I’ve loved working with it. The whole “Love”ly Suite can be found in the NEW Occasions Catalog. I love samplers because they’re just something pretty to create and enjoy, as home decor or a gift. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile now, and have decided to offer a Class in February. But today I really wanted to work with this Painted with Love Designer Series Paper to create a Valentine’s Sampler.

One of my favorite things about Stampin’ Up products is that everything is coordinated for you, which helped inspire me in the design of the Sampler.

I used an 8 X 8 Melon Mambo base. The Whisper White squares are 2 1/4″. I used 9 different patterns from the Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper cut into 2″ squares. The accents are a gold Metallic Foil Doily, as well as hearts cut from the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies in gold foil, Sweet Sugarplum and Powder Pink. The large gold foil hearts are the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies.

I also created a coordinating card to go with it, using some of the same products on a different scale. So easy when Stampin’ Up products are already coordinated for you!

January Class Cards

Despite the weather, we were able to have the Quick and Easy Cards Classes last week and had a fun time creating some cards and a 3D project.

We used the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies to create a box decorated with the Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. Calypso Coral Cardstock was placed behind the die cut image, then the die cut heart was used on one of the new Whisper White Narrow Note Cards and Envelopes. You can fit four of these cute little cards in the box!

The Bloomin’ Love Stamp Set was used on the other card, stamped in Soft Suede Ink. Strips of Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper provided the perfect background for this beautiful stamp. The sentiment is from the You’re So Inspiring Stamp Set in the new Occasions Catalog.

SALE-A-BRATION TIME!

With EACH $50 Product Order, you earn a FREE product of your choice from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. That’s right–FREE!!! And this year Stampin’ Up has added even more rewards for purchasing a $100 Product Order, including a coordinated Stamp and Dies Set.

The new Painted with Love Suite is just stunning, with lots of “bling” to it! And it’s just one of the new products in this Occasions Catalog. We’ll be using this gorgeous Painted with Love Designer Series Paper in next week’s Quick and Easy Cards Class to make a special little box. Fun! All customers will be receiving copies of the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Brochure. But if you just can’t wait, check out the PDF online version of the Occasions Catalog here and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure here.

One of the major harbinger’s of spring, of course, is daffodils, so I was absolutely thrilled to see Stampin’ Up’s new You’re So Inspiring Stamp Set–with daffodils!! An added feature is all of the sentiments included with this stamp set. So many possibilities!!

The daffodils just pop when colored using the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.

Let’s talk about Sale-A-Bration!

There are THREE WAYS to earn FREE PRODUCTS with Sale-A-Bration, January 3rd-March 31st.
