A green dress!

Paper dresses.  The new die is awesome!  And this card is very easy.  Wouldn't it be great for a bridal shower?  

This card was designed by Janet Wakeland and it uses NEW product from the Spring Catalog.  Check out the bottom of this post for all the good details! 

Have a great day!

Swapping

Making swaps and "swapping" is a BIG deal at all Stampin' Up! events.  Swapping is just trading cards.  I make one or more designs and I walk around with my stack o'cards and "swap" with friends and strangers.  I met ladies in the airport and hotel lobby and everywhere in between that wanted to swap!  The best part is receiving cards with DSP or stamps that I don't own (yet) or a new technique.  Sometimes I get in a rut and need a new idea with a set I own - does this happen to you?  Sometimes seeing product in the catalog isn't enough.

Case in point....this swap card I received.  I'll be honest, I'm usually a DSP-fanatic!  But the Parker's Patterns in the Spring Catalog....not on my MUST-HAVE list.  This card uses a tiny strip that added just enough interest!

I also never thought about layering the oval accent and windows label collection. Good thing I have an idea....we won this stamp and DSP during PRIZE PATROL: the next best thing to swapping is PRIZE PATROL!

And we were all winners.  Don't mind us in our PJ's....Friday night was a giant pajama party at general session.  Even Stampin' Up! employees including Sara Douglass, Brian Poling, Pam Morgan and Carrie Cudney were in their PJ's!

Free Silver Glimmer Paper!

Do you know you can earn a pack of FREE glimmer paper during Sale-A-Bration - in addition to the other freebies you receive at increments of $50 merchandise?  I am working on a challenge set by my upline and I'm just a little short this month, need anything?  No order is too small.  I have 8 more days to go!! I'll place an order at 12pm on the 31st!

I love this monochromatic card with just a bit of sparkle :)

S-A-B is here!

Let's get this party started!  Sale-A-Bration allows you to EARN FREE STUFF.  Does it get better than that?  Nope!  If you've been around here, you know my favorites are Rich Razzleberry, Linen Thread, Early Espresso and NEW this year:  Summer Starfruit.  This uses three of the four!  The awesome DSP is from the SALE-A-Bration Sycamore Street DSP.  No price tag - you can't buy it - you can earn it free with a $50 merchandise purchase!  Let me know if you have any questions about the SAB promotion.

Another favorite of mine?  Embossing.  That sweet button is also a sale-a-bration exclusive in the Sycamore Street ribbon and button pack!

The butterfly is giant, but it looks great with just half of it.  Thanks to my upline, this butterfly is now on my wishlist :) Janet Wakeland designed this card.

Happy Shopping!
Have a great Tuesday!

Sale-A-Bration starts tomorrow!

It's the most exciting Stampin' Up! time of the year.  Sale-a-bration!  You can EARN exclusive FREE supplies for each $50 merchandise purchase.  This card shows three options:  the DSP, the ribbon and the stamp set.  If you don't have a demonstrator, I'd LOVE to send you a SAB catalog.  It's amazing. The colors are great and the artwork is what you'd expect from Stampin' Up!

This card was inspired by a swap card I received.  I HAD to recreate it.  I love cards that use scrappy DSP.  Here's a couple other scrappy DSP cards.

Thinking of hosting a party? Now is a GREAT time.  As the hostess, you're also earning MORE stuff!

Single Stamps

Today I am off to a workshop with Hostess Kim who's going to have a great afternoon with her friends, complete great cards and earn FREE product!  

You wanted more? You got more! We've had a great response so far to our experiment with single stamps. So much so that we are making ten more never-before-seen images available as single stamps available through March 31, 2013.  These are great add-on items if you need a little something to help you earn hostess or sale-a-bration rewards!  

Details

• These stamps are available on any order type-customer, demonstrator, workshop, or online. 
• You can find the stamp item numbers on the flyers.
• Single stamps can be ordered in the online store.
• These won't be sent in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. 
• This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
• The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyer. 
• There's no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
• These stamps are only available through March 31, 2013, so get them while you can!
