Such Pretty Ribbon!


There are quite a few fresh and exciting new items in the Spring Mini and this card includes the use of two of those items.  The white butterfly in the upper right corner was punched using the new little butterfly punch which coordinates with the butterfly stamps in the Papillion Potpourri stamp set in the annual catalog.  And then the flowers were all embossed using various colors of embossing powder including the new Pool Party.  Come January 22nd and the start of Sale-a-bration you will be able to earn the beautiful ribbon and/or the Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set used here.  The ribbon is gorgeous and not only do you get a 5 yard spool of Pool Party, but also Tangerine Tango and Island Indigo PLUS 36 pretty buttons in Pool Party, Tangerine Tango and Rich Razzleberry. Have a great day and weekend!

Valentine Special

http://www.stampinup.com/us/documents/NA_Valentine_flyer_US.pdf

Not sure this will work, but the above link should take you to the flyer announcing the special effective thru January 21st.  I posted a couple pictures yesterday of things I created using each of these sets.  They are a great deal.  Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time.

A Little Peak . . .

. . .at projects I created using items from Stampin' Up's limited time specials that will begin tomorrow and end January 21st.  
  • Get a FREE Sealed with Love Simply Sent Kit when you buy the exclusive My Little Valentine Stamp Set for $9.95.
  • Buy a specially-priced bundle that includes the brand-new Happy Valentine Heart Single Stamp and a package of 1" x 8" cellophane bags for $5.95

    1. The Simply Sent kit is in the Holiday Mini on page 35 and I thought it was a nice little kit without the stamp set!  By the way, today is the last day to order from the Holiday Mini.  The stamped single heart on the red and white treat was punched using my Full heart punch and layered on a Scallop Heart of Hearts embosslit die cut.  More details regarding the specials to follow.  Have a great day!

    Happy New Year!

    Sydney asked for a ballet bar for Christmas which she did receive.  In addition, she received a dance floor and mirror.  When Jen posted this photo of our ballerina in her dance studio, I wanted to share it with you.  This photo is filled with all the things I wish for you during the New Year: true happiness, the pure enjoyment of dreams coming true, the love of family and friends~~the best of everything.  Have a beautiful 2013!
