I cannot believe that in 4-1/2 days, Sale-a-Bration will be over.  Another season gone but boy are there some exciting things coming!  I cannot wait to share.  So even though the coordinating framelits that went with Sale-a-Bration stamp sets are sold out, I decided to share projects from a recent Stamp-a-Stack.  You could always hand-cut the images out. 

If you missed out on the Stamp-a-Stack, be sure to check my Events calendar for other specialty classes or to be added to my email list!  Then you will be up-to-date on everything.

Hello Cupcake (sold out)... 

We still have two months with the Occassions catalog and the 2018-2019 Annual catalog.  Stampin' Up! will release a retirement list in two weeks and I know things are going to go out fast including the 2017-2019 In-Colors (ink, re-inkers, paper, etc.).  So do not wait to get them! 

Sale-a-Bration set - Lovely Lattice..... and Rectangle Stitched Framelits 

Here is the full image of the Lovely Lattice stamp set.  It is quiet nice and has lots of details for coloring.  I wanted to keep this card a little more simplified by just using the flower part of the image.  It is stamped in each corner of Whisper White card stock. 

GET LOVELY LATTICE FOR FREE:  already have white cardstock, dimensionals, and adhesive?  Just purchase the Enamel Dots, Coastal Cabana & Bermuda Bay cardstock, Rectangular Stitched Framelits and Coastal Cabana ink... you will earn the Lovely Lattice Stamp Set for Free (until March 31, 2019... while supplies last).   Supply list below!

I took a side angle picture to show you, after cutting a rectangle out using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits, the piece is reattached with Dimensionals.  I also added some Glitter Enamel Dots to some of the flower centers.  I just Love those Glitter Enamel Dots!  The pack comes in 4 colors.  Check them out HERE

Inside... this stamp set has a neat little image. I added the scallop or dotted bar and the single flower to the inside for added interest. You can simply write a note,  or use whatever sentiment you are looking for on this one. 

I have been in monochromatic mood lately.  One paper color, one ink color.  I enjoy that look.  Do you?

Here I used Bermuda Bay as my card base and then Coastal Cabana cardstock for a mat with Coastal Cabana ink.  

Let me see your Monochromatic projects!!!

OMG!  This Foil Paper from Sale-a-Bration is awesome!!!  The picture does not give it any justice because the lights pick up so much reflection.   

So a $50 product order earns you a Free Level 1 Sale-a-Bration item.  The foil paper is a Level 1 item.  You get four(4) 12 x 12 sheets of Grapefruit Grove Foil AND four (4) 12 x 12 sheets of Lovely Lipstick Foil paper.  They are both really pretty.  

I have combined by heart card with Grapefruit Grove and Calypso Coral card stock and the Meant To Be Bundle.  The Framelit dies have 16 dies to the set, 13 of them are hearts!  And some of the framelits do double duty!  2-for-1 cut-out!  See in my card above, see the thin stitched-scalloped outline heart.  The solid heart on the card came from the center of the stitched-scalloped heart.... that's the 2-for-1!

How about a 21-for-1 deal..... see the cluster of hearts at the bottom?  Once you die cut that, you are left with 21 little hearts!  I adhered some to the inside of my card.  The rest can be put inside the card/envelope as confetti!  Hmmm...not sure why this is sideways. 

I wanted to use the Meant To Be bundle as a non-Valentine card.  You can make birthday, thinking of you, sharing some love cards and more!  It's not just for Valentine's Day!

I think everyone knows how cold it is but I would be amiss if I didn't mention it.  Ohio made out far better than others... at a low of -6 (wind chills around -30).  Either way, it is still freeezzzziiinnnnnggggg.... lots of warm blankets and slippers!  So I just keep happy thoughts knowing that this too shall pass.  I made some happy cards recently and they help me to keep warm thoughts!

This pink beauty features the All My Love Designer Series Paper. 

It is the perfect paper because features Hearts and Flowers giving it more than one use.  I can use for more than just for Valentine's Day and I love that Stampin' Up! is doing things like this.  The colors are great with several pinks (Lovely Lipstick, Blushing Bride, Powder Pink) and Crumb Cake.  There is even a little Balmy Blue and Soft Sea Foam...

I chose Powder Pink card stock to coordinate with the designer series paper and the Powder Pink Mini Ruffled Ribbon. 

The little green butterfly is from the Butterfly Gala Bundle (stamps and a punch) which is unfortunately sold out at the moment.  But it will be back!

The Wood element outline butterfly, earn that for FREE with a $50 product order.  It is called Butterfly Elements and there is a total of 84 pieces in the pack in all shapes and sizes along with some tiny wooden flowers and leaves.  I attached to my card with Tombow Liquid Glue and glue dots, just to be sure.

Well, Mother Nature has finally figured out that it is winter.  A bit of snow last week and with cold temperatures, so it is staying on the ground.  The forecast is for a snowy weekend too!  This might be a repeat for my dad......

Ha!  Ha!  My dad is so good to me :)   But, YES!  I can run that machine myself.  5 gears and 2 reverses... and an electric starter.  Funny, I believe this picture was taken last winter on a morning that I had Card Club... hmmmm, I have club this weekend but he is in Florida.  Something wrong with this scenario.  

Any way, today I wanted to share this beautiful butterfly card.  Stampin' Up! has come out with some incredible new butterfly stamps, dies, punches and paper in the 2019 Occasions catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog.  

These butterfly thinlit dies are available in a new bundle called Beauty Bounds.  There are 20 dies and 13 stamps and qualifies for a Free Sale-a-Bration item. As in my card sample, I chose the Grapefruit Grove/Lovely Lipstick Foil paper for my free Sale-a-Bration item.  This paper will make you wish you had more!

I will definitely be showing more samples made with this bundle because there is so much you can do.  A cool thing is there are multiples  of the same dies so you can cut several small butterflies at once.  A real time saver. 

Here is my supply list for the card.  I hope you like this one and are able to get this bundle today.
