Ornate Garden projects

Hello Everyone!!! 

Sale-A-Bration is slowly winding down and will sadly come to an end soon (March 31), but Stampin' UP! doesn’t want the excitement to end. That’s why they are giving us a brand new reason to get in touch with the early release of the Ornate Garden Suite. 


This beautiful and sophisticated Suite will be available to customers beginning April 1st!!!  

I went ahead and jumped on the pre-order bandwagon (only for demonstrators) and ordered the suite and got to play with the set a little. Up first, is a "Thank You" card.



Did you notice the lovely dry embossing and the opaque gold gilded gems? This card uses coordinating colors from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper: Whisper White, Early Espresso, Old Olive and Terracotta Tile.



I decided that for this next project I wanted to make a card with a matching gable box.


TIPS for the card:
  • Use Stampin' Blends to color the flower image. I used Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Bronze.
  • I used the new Terracotta Tile ribbon to create the zigzag on the card front.  I love this ribbon!
  • Use the Ornate Border Dies to create the border from the designer paper. 
  • I embossed the "Thank You" phrase with gold embossing powder to match the gold foil on the designer paper.
  • Use some opaque gold gilded gems for the finishing touch.

TIPS for the box:
  • Finished box measures 4"L x 1.75" W x 4" H 
  • I CASED the box from Erica Cerwin.
  • Click on this link to access the PDF tutorial on how to create the box.


Be sure to contact your local demonstrator to grab your Ornate Garden Suite when it goes live on April 1st. 
If you don't have one, I would love to help you. Simply contact me via e-mail a the link provided at the top right side of this page.


Have a blessed day! 
Until next time...

January 2020 Paper Pumpkin Alternative

The January 2020 Paper Pumpkin, I'll Bee Yours, got WAAAAY past me this time. I got busy... you know, life.... I didn't get to put any of it together until recently. 

Considering that March is a month for green & 4 leaf clovers... St. Patrick's day. I figured I could put this kit to good use and make it lucky! 


 Here's one way to use your Paper Pumpkin alternatively.


TIPS:

It's always so much fun when the idea in your head works! It doesn't always come easy to me so I was pretty proud of this one! 

If you any comments or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at the e-mail link at the top right side of this page. 

Until next time...

Sale A Bration - Second Release

Stampin' Up's best promotion of the year is during Sale-a-bration (SAB)!

Their products have been A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
Now that we've had the first set of SAB products for a while, Stampin' UP! is coming with a second round of products for us!

I have a couple of projects I CASED from the catalog because I thought they were too cute!
I decided to create a calendar holder along with the matching card.
 
My favorite part from this Lovely Lily Pad set are the framelits (a Level 2 product). The tear drop pattern really catches my eye!



The Little Ladybugs Hostess Set is absolutely adorable and was my first pick of the whole catalog. This set can be yours for free when you host a qualifying party or place a personal order totaling $300 of more. 
The matching ladybugs dies also cannot be earned but is a part of the Coordination Products Release.

 
Before I show you these products, you may be wondering, "what is Sale-a-bration?" Basically, you can earn a FREE product every time you reach a threshold. For example, if you spend $150 usd/$180 cad, you can then choose three level 1 items OR one level 1 and one level 2. This gives you more flexibility to choose what you want.


You may view the first round of SAB products at my Online Store OR view the pdf here.



The second round of SAB products features 4 new stamp sets and 2 different sets of Designer Series Paper (DSP).
Check it out by going to my Online Store OR view the pdf here.

I just showed you how you can shop for all these beautiful items but I also want you to know that you can earn SAB products 2 more different ways: by hosting an event or by Joining the Stampin' Up! team.

When you host an event or submit a personal order of $300 or more, you will earn Free products including the Littly Ladybug stamp set! 

When you join the Stampin' UP! team as an independent demonstrator, not only will get a starter kit that is customizable for only $99, but you will receive the Mini Paper Cutter, 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper sampler, and your choice of stamp set. All of this for ONLY $99?! And just to top it off, it's FREE shipping! Don't pass on this amazing deal!
 Learn the benefits about joining and doing what you love when you join my team.


Please feel free to comment or contact me for any questions that you may have. I'm always glad to help!

Until next time...
