Wanna Get Filled with Love?

These two Valentine cards are both made with the Filled with Love set - that's only available until January 24th! So, there are only a few days left to get "filled with love!"

And when you purchase it with the Love Patterns Designer Paper Pack, you'll get a FREE package of Bitty Buttons (a $4.95 value). You can get more details by clicking on the photo-ad to the right!

If you look closely at the two cards above, you'll see that I used the set, the papers and the Bitty Buttons on each one! And it doesn't just have to be for Valentine cards, you can send a Love card anyday!

Lookie What I Got!

This garland was a gift from my Leadership roomie, Liz! And I absolutely Love it! I actually hung it in our hotel room while we were in Nashville, and then carefully packed it away for the trip home!

I love all the detail - check out this close-up of the heart:

She used the Petal Cone die to make it, and used lots of layers - the Lots of Love Letter Press Plate, Some awesomely sparkly Glimmer Paper for the scalloped edges, and the First Edition Specialty DSP for the tops of the hearts, and my favorite... the rhinestone bling and scrunchy Seam Binding that separates the heart.


I will be proudly displaying this for Valentine's Day!!

Good Times and a Fun Little Card!

This is one of my favorite pictures from Leadership! It's my upline, Tami, and my sideline, Liz and me! We were waiting (inside at the Opryland) for the bus to take us to the Manager's event! I felt so happy to be a part of the Manager's Celebration!! We all got cowboy hats, and we were off to the Wildhorse Saloon. It was super fun - good food, great Country Music, billiards and even air hockey.

The Manager's Event was the first night of lots of fun. I'll share more pictures later!

And, here's a cute card idea I saw from another Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Brenda Quintana. I couldn't resist CASEing it! It uses the set, Filled with Love (only available until January 24th - with the special), and it's a 3" x 3" card. I love the idea of punching out the center of the O and putting the Hershey's Kiss in it!

The 4" x 6" cello makes a perfect little "envelope" for it too!


Thanks for stopping by,

Julie

I'm Back..and with Lots of Great Swaps!

I just got back from Leadership last night. I had great intentions of posting stuff while I was there, but it just didn't happen. The events didn't end each night until 10:00, long and jam-packed days! But, the good news is that now I have lots to post for the coming days!

This is one of the cards I got while swapping - and I love all the texture in it. It has inset embossing, and the new embossing folder, Tulip Frame. Plus, I like the Modern Label punch with the saying and the Rhinestone bling! And it's made with the Valentine Defined stamp set from the Mini.

Are you getting ready for Valentine's day yet?

Valentine Defined!

This is a super cute card made by my stampin' friend Dena! It's made with the set Valentine Defined, from the Occasions Mini. Pretty simple idea - but very cute!

I'm off to Leadership today, but I'll be bringing my laptop - so hopefully I'll have some posts to share!

Bold Blossom Beauty!

I'm super excited to be getting ready for the Stampin' Up! leadership conference this coming week! This is one of the cards I'll be swapping while I'm there.

I wanted to use a set from the new Occasions Mini Catalog. And I Love the simplicity of the Bold Blossom set!! Then I chose some of my favorite colors (Of course, one has to be Baja Breeze!! - but also, Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz), and one of my favorite layouts - and there you go! Also, I added some bling - a girl's gotta have bling!

I had one happy accident while putting the card together. When I stamped the words on the card, they came out crooked (Ya, first time that happened - Not!). But I thought instead of turning it over, or throwing it away, I'll stamp the saying on a scrap and then punch it out. So there it is punched with the wide oval and stuck on the card - Straight!! And I kinda like the little extra with the look of the extra "layer."

A Little Gift "Filled with Love"

Here's a quick little Valentine gift for someone! I've made these post-it note keychains lots of times - just change up the cover for whatever theme/whoever you want to give it to. I really like the color combo - Pear Pizzazz, Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo. It kind of started from the post-it note paper I had.

Then I knew I wanted pink with it - and wah lah! the color combo happened! Anyway, I also used the Filled with Love Set heart, with the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit behind it, and a Heart Bitty Button to accent the front - Fun!!


Julie

A Calendar with it All!!

Here's the Pop-up Post-it Note Desk Calendar that we'll be making at Technique Class this Friday! I'm really excited about how cute this is!! We'll be using the new Springtime Vintage Designer Paper, and the new Fun Flowers Big Shot die!

And how cute (and practical!) will this be sitting on your desk?!


Hope to see you on Friday!!

Pom Poms and Cupcakes!

Just one more cupcake... Well, can anyone just have one cupcake?? Not me! I love this cupcake, but I especially love the new little pompom trim along the side of it - SO cute!! And, my picture is a little off-color, but the ribbon is our new Crumb Cake Seam Binding!

Tomorrow is the big day!! You can start ordering all these awesome new things from the new Occasions Mini Catalog! ANd when you buy $50, you'll get a Sale-A-Bration pick! I Love Stampin' Up!!

My Favorite Cupcake!

I finished and sent off my Create a Cupcake card swaps a couple days ago, and this one was my favorite! I think I just like the color combination (Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizazz), but also I really like the little piece of Designer Paper with the hearts (they're dry embossed, and super cool in real life). The paper comes from the new Love Impressions Designer Pack - too cute!! And the ribbon is the new Pear Pizazz Seam Binding.


And, it might be a little hard to see in the picture, but the cherry on top of the cupcake is made with the new red Glimmer Paper - Love it!!!


Happy New Year!!
