They Say It’s Your Birthday

Apparently balloons are all the rage these days.  Have you noticed all of the balloon stamps, Designer Paper, Punches and Dies in the catalogs that have balloons? 
So today, I thought why not celebrate a birthday with a big bunch of balloons.  I used the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper and the Balloon Bouquet to create this big bunch of balloons.  I added to the festive tone with the Confetti Embossing Folder.  The coordinating Bakers Twine and Enamel dots truly tip the card over the top.

Don’t forget the new Sale-a-bration items are now available!


New Sale-a-bration Products Tomorrow

I’m so excited to share with you the three new sale-a-bration items that will be available tomorrow, February 16th.  Just like all Sale-a-bration items you can’t purchase them but you can earn them for FREE with every $50 purchase.


So today I wanted to share a sweet card I made with one of the new 
stamp sets.

I started with the Shimmer White card stock and my Aqua Painter and I simply brushed on a color wash of Bermuda Bay ink on the top portion of the card stock and Pear Pizzazz on the lower portion.  Once the card stock dried I stamped the bike from the BRAND NEW Pedal Pusher stamp set in Memento Ink and colored the bike with Stampin’ Write Markers.  The sentiment comes from the same set.  I cut the stamp in two pieces so I could stack the words on top of one another.  What do you think?  Isn’t this set adorable?  There’s even accessories you can add to the bike like a bike basket and a flag and stuff to go in the basket.

On Saturday I hosted a Winter Warm Up Stamp Camp with Amanda Waldhart and Lorri Nastala, two of my Stampin’ Express Team Members.  Everyone in attendance made 12 cards featuring items from the sale-abration and Occasions Catalogs.

Lori designed this card using Sky’s the Limit and Happy Home. 

Amanda designed this card using Hello.  Check out the beer mug;  It’s made from the Cups & Kettles Framelits dies and some of the Sale-a-bration Botanical Gardens Designer Series Vellum Stack.

I designed this one using Hello and the super fun Sunburst Thinlits Die.

Be sure to get the three retiring Sale-a-bration items now before they’re gone and check back tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the three new Sale-a-bration items that you can get for FREE starting February 16th.  You’re going to LOVE them.
