Final Hours of Sale-A-Bration!!

We are winding down one of the most popular times of the Stampin' Up! year, the fabulous Sale-A-Bration! There's just a few hours left to snatch up some free stamp sets and free DSP! Hey, Chick! has been a super popular stamp set, and I used it to create this super adorable card, CASE'd from fellow demonstrator Lydia Fiedler at Understand Blue. Isn't it cute?! I used the Perfect Mix stamp set for the eggs and, yes, that is the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#143231)! I simply inked up the "wire" side of the embossing folder with Basic Grey ink, put my 5 x 3.75" piece of Whisper White inside the folder, and ran it through my Big Shot. Cute, right?! The watercolour pencils were used to colour the chicken and eggs/egg carton. Looking at it now, I maybe should have coloured one of the eggs a different colour. Next time!

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder after cutting out a piece of Basic Black with the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies (#145372). I LOVE these framelits, but you won't find them in any of our catalogues; they were an early release from the upcoming new Annual Catalogue! They are a must in my opinion!

Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, #145372

Here's a close up of that crazy chicken!

Run to my online store and grab Hey, Chick! before midnight tonight! It can't be purchased, and can only be earned for FREE with a $60 purchase. I just love her crazy hair!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Any Occasion Wedding

I thought I would show you a wedding card I created as part of my Display samples for the recent Canadian Business Conference held in Toronto for Canadian demonstrators Silver Elite and above. I LOVE how this card turned out! Because the Sale-A-Bration set Any Occasion is photopolymer, it was easy to position and curve a bit for "Congratulations". I used the fun Pop of Pink DSP for my background piece and then overlay a piece of vellum on top. I heat embossed Mr and Mrs with Gold embossing powder. The hearts are from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. I used the "negative" from the heart thinlit (in Whisper White) to place behind my Mr and Mrs to help them stand out since they were stamped on vellum.

The fine-tip glue pen worked wonderfully to adhere the vellum sheet on top of the DSP. It dries clear so it was super-strong and didn't show!

Have a wonderful week!

Display Samples

In January the Stampin' Up! Canadian office held a business conference in Toronto for some of the top demonstrators in the country. I had the honor of being asked to create a few display samples for them featuring a Sale-A-Bration product! I chose the fabulous stamp set Any Occasion to feature in my samples. This stamp set is so versatile and is a must for your collection! It is great for birthdays, weddings, new babies, and SO much more! It can't be purchased and can only be earned FREE during Sale-A-Bration. With every $60 ordered until March 31 (before taxes and shipping) you can choose it as your freebie ! Check it out:

Here are a few of the cards I created using this fun stamp set:

 I used Foxy Friends for the tree stump & the frog is from the hostess set Love You Lots and is popped up on dimensionals. 

That sweet little baby and the starts are from Moon Baby in the Occasions catalogue and I used the Sparkle embossing folder to add detail to the extra layer of Soft Sky. Some Crushed Curry Baker's Twine is wrapped around the top layer as well.

The Lift Me Up set from the Occasions catalogue is featured on this card along with the sentiment from Any Occasions. A strip from the Carried Away DSP is also used which is another SAB freebie!

I think this is my favorite - I love the Cool Treats bundle! Check out that adorable spoon - such a cute framelit in the coordinating Frozen Treats Framelits Dies, especially when cut out using silver foil paper! The coordinating Tasty Treats Speciality DSP is the background piece. Can you spot the other Sale-A-Bration freebie I used? That's right - that sparkly ribbon is another freebie!
Did you get to see the samples in person at the Canadian Business Conference in Toronto? Here's my full display:
