Another of My Favorite Bundles

Today My Favorite is the Daisy Lane Bundle!

So happy to be part of Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month. There are always such beautiful projects I feel a little out of place but I'll be brave and share my creations.

I have been featuring my favorite bundles out of the new catalog. So far, Good Morning Magnolia  and Free As A Bird Bundles have been my faves. It is so hard to pick just one for my favorite. So maybe this should be my favorite of the week. This week I am using the Daisy Lane Bundle.

For inspiration, I used the catalog! That's what we have it for and sometimes it is a great starting point. 

At my recent event I designed a card for a first time attendee because I wasn't sure if she had ever stamped before. She loves art and had no problems stamping, coloring and assembling the cards I offered. So this little card is just sitting there waiting for its chance to shine.

It is a simple stamping card except for punching out the flowers. I can jazz it up for my next class and they will love it! I used the general layout of the catalog sample above but chose different colors and only one flower. 

Here's my stepped-up version of this card.  I changed out the color scheme. Pretty Peacock and Terracotta Tile look great together. I used the Basket Weave 3D embossing folder on the Terracotta Tile DSP.  To make the flower more prominent I stamped it on Whisper White and cut it out with one of the Stitched Nested Labels dies. The center of the flower is a Faceted Die. The sentiment is punched with the 1 3/8" Scallop Punch and mounted on a  3/4" Circle punch (oops, that is retired but the 1/2" punch would work). I like this card so much better! 

Here's the latest Stampin' Up! news (in case you missed it) :

 If don't know why Bonus Days is so exciting, let me explain.  For every $50 you order before July 31 (before shipping and tax), you earn a $5 Bonus Days coupon code that can be used August 1–31. You must have an email address in order to get your code. Do Not delete this email because Stampin' Up! cannot replace it! You can earn multiple codes with one order. Get out your wish list and shop. My online store is open all the time.

This promotion is so nice. The best time to join my team is when you get extra products in your starter kit!! 

Between now and August 31, join Stampin' Up! for $99 and get $155 new products in your starter kit. That is $30 more than usual. PLUS, you get a $10 coupon code to spend the month after you join. 

No requirements to sell anything. You can join just for the discount. Yes, really. I would love to talk to you more about this. Email me now before you forget!

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stamping,

Bonus Days Are Here!!

What' better than a sale?

Getting a coupon to spend later! It's like money in your pocket to spend next time you visit a store. My Online Store is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week for your shopping convenience.

Here is how Bonus Days works. It's really very simple. For every $50 you spend in July, you get a $5 coupon to spend in August. To qualify, the order has to be over $50 before shipping and tax. There is no limit to the number of coupons you can earn. 

Here's an example: if your order is between $50-99, you earn one $5 coupon code. For orders between $100-149, you earn two $5 coupon codes. I think you see the trend. However, for orders over $150-199, in addition to three $5 coupon codes, you would also receive the Host Rewards!!! Win, win, win for that order.

Spread the news, share with a friend, don't miss out on this great deal! Here's where to shop: My Online Store

Can I have more than one favorite?

Sure, I can!

Bird Ballad Suite on page 91 of the Annual Catalog is my NEW favorite!!!

I know I said Magnolia Lane Suite was my favorite but Bird Ballad Suite is my very favorite in the new Annual Catalog. Ok, I'm going to say that it is because look at that Designer Series Paper! I love birds and flowers and this suite offers all of that. 

This cute card is the one of the Make & Takes we made at On Stage using products from the Bird Ballad suite. We'll made this at my last Card event. I have seen so many color schemes for those birds, I used Stampin' In Blends in Daffodil Delight (Item #144603) to color mine. If you haven't tried coloring with Stampin' blends, you are missing a treat. See the list of supplies used to make this card at the end of the post. 

Here's the full card:

Did you notice this card on page 15? It was part of a the layout about Designer Series Paper. This DSP is called Bird Ballad Designer Series paper (Item #149592). The trim along the right side is called Woven Threads Trim (Item #149499) It adds interest and texture to the card. Love it!!

Bird Ballad Suite (Item #152190)

Sahara Sand Woven Threads Trim (Item #149499)

You can see why Bird Ballad Suite is my new favorite. It is so easy to just keep making cards with this stamp set and DSP. Would you like to make some cards with me? I would love to share the directions for these cards. Order the Bundle (151123) and I'll email you a PDF of the instructions.

Do you have some favorites? Would you like to get yours with a discount? The best way to get it all and not pay full is price is to purchase the starter kit and join my team of Bright Star Stampers. Read more about it here. I'd love to share creativity with you!!

Thanks for stopping by.

One of My Favorites

So many pretty things

Makes it hard to pick your favorite but let me help.

Here's my first pick. I love flowers, just ask my family. They are pretty, they are places for butterflies and hummingbirds, and they give back to our environment. One of my favorite is called Good Morning Magnolia. It is part of an entire suite of products called Magnolia Lane Suite on page 37 of the brand new Annual Catalog.

Oh my goodness, the pretty things you can make with this Suite.

Here are a couple of the cards I have made. The one on the left is CASE'd from the catalog on page 36. The one on the right is my own creation. I used one sheet of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper to make my cards. The striped piece is the back of the little flower. 

  The framelits are amazing.  Those little individual flowers are cut out with a framelit! No fussy cutting, or cutting by hand.

The other two cards I created to use the single piece of DSP. That large magnolia blossom is just so pretty. I live in the South so magnolia trees grow well. Love this suite!

 

 

Would you like to make these cards? I can help you do that. Creativity is Calling!!

One More Thing:

This May, you are in for a treat. Paper Pumpkin has teamed up with Shelli Gardner, Stampin' Up's! board chair and co-founder, to deliver you a very special Paper Pumpkin kit. 

The look and feel of this kit is all Shelli. It's elegant, feminine, and so full of springtime details that you'll probably just want to take a walk, breathe in the fresh air, and then go home and stamp every card in the kit. And the box it comes in? I predict that you'll be keeping it. Wait and see.

In order to receive the Hugs from Shelli Paper Pumpkin kit, you must have an active subscription by May 10!

Here is my personal link to get signed up: Paper Pumpkin

I believe that is everything happening for now. I would recommend getting your retiring products ordered soon or you may miss out. 

Contact me with questions, concerns, help with ordering, how to use your products, etc. I am here to help. 

Until next time,
