Congratulations! The Sky is the Limit!

I received this lovely card in my SUDSOL swap. It was created by fellow demonstrator, Andrea Sharp. I love the color combo; it evokes the peaceful feeling of being high in the sky looking down on the world. The colors are Smoky Slate, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzazz, and Soft Sky. The Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper is a wonderful background and well-suited for stamping directly on which is what she stamped the plane on. The Sky is the Limit set is available free with a $50 order until February 15th. The Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper is also available free with a $50 order until the end of March. Place your order today at my 24/7 online store by clicking the Shop Now tab at the top of my blog. Thanks for stopping by!

A Little Birthday Sparkle in the Sky

This fun birthday card was created by fellow demonstrator, Teri Bean using the Sky is the Limit set. She added some fun sparkle to the airplane with Wink of Stella. This set is available FREE for a limited time (through February 15th) during Sale-A-Bration. Place your order today in my 24/7 online store  by clicking the Shop Now tab at the top of my blog.

For A Limited Time Only!

I love the simplicity of this card; and the combination of old stamp set and new stamp set! This card was created by Nancy Endwright, fellow demonstrator. I love how she took the Gold Wink of Stella and applied it to the propellers to highlight them! Wink of Stella is so easy to use and adds a soft, subtle shimmer. If you missed the video that I shared about Wink of Stella, you can see it by clicking here.

This versatile set, The Sky is the Limit, is available for FREE during Sale-a-bration with a $50 order for a LIMITED TIME! Don't miss out!

Rhinestone Studded Heart

This post was in my drafts from last year. I'm not sure if I forgot to post it, or what happened! However, it's a great card idea for those of you that don't have many Valentine stamp sets and don't find yourself making many cards for the Valentine holiday and yet you find yourself needing one in a pinch! It would also be a great wedding or anniversary card. I would just switch out the Real Red background to a different color or background paper. For your convenience I have added a list of the items that can be used to duplicate this card below. Clicking on any of the products below will take you to my 24/7 online store.

What's The Neighborly Thing To Do?

Today I will be visiting all my neighbors to wish them Happy New Year! I love the Tag-A-Boxes!  If Stampin' Up! should decide to retire them, I shall have to stock up! Six of my homemade Pecan Sandies fit perfectly in these awesome little boxes! I used to take Christmas plates of goodies to my neighbors but with all the holiday preparations it was just stressful! Last year I switched to this and it has made it a fun, enjoyable, new tradition.  I spent a couple evenings wrapping the boxes in gold foil paper. I spent another evening assembling bows. My cards were created over the New Year holiday while visiting family. That is one of the great things about stamping as a hobby; you can stamp and visit at the same time! I spent one afternoon making cookies and filling the boxes. This evening I will deliver them!  My next project will have to be taking down some Christmas decor before I get lost in my stamp room playing with all my newest goodies from the Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration! Thanks for stopping by.

New Year Neighborhood Treats

I'm a little behind in greeting my neighbors for the New Year. The week between Christmas and the New Year holiday was quite short and we made a speed run to visit some family in Wisconsin.  It had been far too long between visits. A new job with less vacation time and a greater distance to traverse necessitated a longer weekend to make the trip; so we seized the opportunity as Jim had a 4 day weekend! I worked on my cards while we were visiting and I shared those with you already. Since gold is still on trend I wrapped my Tag-A-Boxes in gold foil wrapping paper and made my bows with the some of my gold retired papers. It seems that I am always having to force myself to use up pretty stuff! Lol! Now I just need to make my Pecan Sandies and Chocolate Snowballs and fill them up! Last year when we delivered it was blizzard like weather. This year it sounds like it will be a wintery mix; so, warmer, but still not nice! I love the Tag-A-Boxes for gifts like this. They are the perfect size. I dread the day Stampin' Up!  retires  them!  Today I am blogging from my phone (my computer is in the shop) and I am unable to provide the handy link but you can always get to my handy 24/7 online store from the Shop Now tab on my blog above.  Don't forget that Sale-A-Bration is in full swing and that with a $50 order you will get to choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!
