Petal Pallette - Stampin' Up 2018 Occasions Catalog Sneak Peak + Sale-A-Bration Products

It's always fun  to get free products and the 2018 Sale-A-Bration is full of fun things

This year they have added some "higher priced" items.  

You can choose from a wealth of items with a $50 purchase

But if you choose to purchase $100, you can get a set of Celebrate You Thinlits Dies

And/Or a stamp set called Happy Wishes which is a sentiment set that will you just LOVE

Linda chose to use the new Petal Pallette stamp set and added one of the thinlit dies

The inside says "friend"

Measurements

Whisper White Thick Card Stock Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Cherry Cobbler 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

Whisper White 5" x 3 3/4"

Linda had us stamp the flowers/leaves in Black Memento Ink (with a really juicy stamp pad) and then emboss with clear embossing powder

Makes it SO easy to color with the blends!!

And here's another great tip!! We ran the Celebrate Thinlits through the Big Shot with the Adhesive Sheets on the back - makes it SO easy to adhere!!!

The Petal Pallette Stamp Set has a coordinating Petals & More Thinlits Dies - no fussy cutting the flowers!!  Whooppee!

LOVE IT!!

Focusing on Brand New Products coming to you soon!

The next few days I will be sharing some of the new products from the 2018 Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Catalog

Yes, Sale-A-Bration is almost here

It's the BEST sale of the year from Stampin' Up

For every $50 (or $100) you purchase you can choose FREE PRODUCTS

I had Stampin' Up send out the two catalogs - let me know if you didn't receive yours yet - SU will send new ones out after the 1st, if yours didn't come! 

And that means the 2017 Holiday Catalog will soon be gone

If there is still something you NEED from the Holiday catalog, be sure and click below and place your order - you just have 4 days left to place your order

Click here to view the carryover list from the 2017 Holiday Catalog

It's always SO exciting to get the new catalogs and this year is NO exception

We had a fun demo get-together yesterday and everyone chose a different set to share

Maralee chose the Southern Serenade Stamp Set

The only BAD thing about getting together is now I have to purchase more stamp sets - know what I mean?  So many enablers out there!

Don't you just LOVE this?  The new Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper is just to DIE for!  Lots of silver accents!

And can you see the "technique" she used?  We stamped the flower on a piece of Whisper White, then colored with the Blends

Then we cut carefully from each side and cut out the top of the flower by hand

Next we put the Layering Circles Framelit around the top of the flower and cut out the circle!   Neat, eh?

This will be a fun technique to share with my girls!

January Stamp of the Month Kit - Floral Statements

Floral Statements is a stamp set I've had since the Annual Catalog came out, but haven never used.  I was SO happy to get to use it for the Stamp of the Month!!  It's a gorgeous set and I know you will LOVE it

 

Wonder what the Stamp of the Month Kit is?  If you have ever purchased stamps and accessories and then didn’t know what to do with them when you received them, I have the solution.  You purchase the kit (at a discount), and I will send you the kit and three projects to do up immediately.  The kit includes the stamp set and whatever else I choose in making the card kits.  I don’t include adhesives, ink and stamped images (per Stampin' Up rules), and you can substitute what you have.  These projects are fun and easy to do.  I will send you a pdf file by email with the instructions and pictures for each project and the actual product to make three projects will be included in your kit!  Plus I will include additional samples that you can use to create even more cards and projects!!

 

For January we will be using Floral Statements

and to compliment this we will add the 

Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack

Together these products sell for $28 plus $6.95 shipping for a total of $34.95

I'm offering it to you for $27  

What you receive 

1.  Floral Statement Clear Stamp Set

2.  Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack

3.  Three projects ready to put together including the cut card stock, any dry embossing I use and all the embellishments and designer series paper!

4.   A pdf file emailed to you when I mail out the kits with pictures, step-by-step instructions AND additional ideas so you will be able to use your stamp set immediately!   I always include at least 10 samples so you will have tons of inspiration!

If you already have these products, you may substitute any products in any current catalog for the same price (to total $28.00).  The projects will be for the above products.  If you sign up for six months, the shipping is free.  Otherwise I will include $6.50 for priority mail shipping in your total.   

I take Visa, M/C, Discover, checks and paypal (I will send an invoice when I place the order.

I will be placing the order on January 4th and you will send out the kits around January 15th

 

Here's is one card we will be making

This it called the "highlighting" technique

I will be sharing a number of different techniques and using different coloring tools including the new Stampin' Blends, Watercolor Pencils, Stampin' Write Markers and the Blender Pens and Aqua Painters.  And you will learn which black inks to use with which coloring tools!!

Coffee Cup Framelits Candy Holder

Cathy Hansen, another demo, shared these darling Coffee Cup Framelit Candy Holders

And since I had some Starbucks Cards, I decided to make them up

They aren't quite big enough to fit the Coffee Gift Card, so I attached it to the back and added a piece of Chocolate in he Candy Holder

Isn't that the cutest?  I used the Gold Foil on this one

And here are three more I made

   

Here's a little tutorial with the measurements

Cut two of the large Coffee Cup Framelits, two lids, and two of the coffee warmers

Here's all the pieces you will need

 

The handle is at the top and is cut 4 3/8" x 5/8"

The center piece is the "box"

Cut it 5 7/8" x 1 3/4"

Score on the long side at 2 3/8" and 3 9/16"

Score on the short side 1/4" on each side

See picture on how to cut into each score line 

Add adhesive to the tabs and attach the coffee cups

Your box is made

Add the lids and the handle

I attached the gift card to the back with tombow!

Fun, fun - love how these turned out!

Let me know if you have any questions!!

And with that I'm DONE and ready for Christmas - how about you?

Last Minute Packaging Idea! Sneak Peak of some Specialty Designer Series Paper!!

Are you like me and wait until the last minute to package gifts?

Well.....I had an idea come into my head today while I was shopping at Costco - they have these wonderful candies

So I picked up a jar of them and think they will make great gifts.

But how to package them?

I found this box on Pootles (from the UK) site and remembered I made these some years ago

So I whipped up three of them - yep I used some new designer series paper that is in the 

2018 Occasions Catalog!!

It's a specialty designer series paper and is thick which is just what I needed for this project!!

Here are the three boxes I made

These are good sized boxes with finished measurements of 7" x 4" x 2"

You could put LOTS of "stuff" in these boxes!

I filed it with these special chocolates, but you could put a pair of socks, gloves, scarves - many, many possibilities

I love how they turned out - I don't have the tags on yet, because someone might SEE!!

The Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper is absolutely GORGEOUS

   

I used card stock for the tops!

And here's a little tutorial on how to make these boxes

Bottom of Box

11" x 8" and scored at 2" on all 4 sides

 

Cut up to the score line on all 4 sides and miter the tabs

I used Fast Fuse on the tabs and then assembled the box

TOP

Since I used card stock instead of paper, I suggest making the top a SMIDGE larger

Cut a piece of card stock or paper 9" x 6" (I would add about 1/16" on both sides if using card stock)

Score at 1" on all 4 sides

Assemble the same as the bottom

And THAT is it!  SO simple and you can decorate as you see fit.  Maybe stamp on the card stock; or whatever suites YOU!

I will add a tag and that is it!!

Feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions!

I hope this idea will help for your last minute gifts!
