My upline, Tami Waddell, sent me this card and I absolutely love it! The fairground feel is so fun, it's a like a little piece of memorabilia. The fun begins with the World Spectacular Product Suite in the big catalog including the Blue Ribbon & You're Amazing Stamp sets, Take a Ticket wheel and World Spectacular Designer paper, along with some fun punches.
"The Winner" image is colored with Stampin' Write markers to get the effect of multiple colors on 1 stamp.
What do this card and Santa Claus have in common? They are bearded of course - oh my if you watch the video, you'll most likely learn that I've truly lost it hehehehe!! Or maybe you're wondering if I ever had it? Maybe I've always been lost!
This is a pretty and fun card that is surprisingly easy to make. Using a few fun new products from the Spring Catalog such as the Tea Lace Doilies and Tea for Two Designer Paper. The saying " Wishing you a day as perfect as you are" is from Sale-a-Bration, and only available until March 22, 2013...for FREE! I'll also give you some tips on how to use the Scallop Edge border punch and get this perfect edge, and bonus confetti!
An alternative to the Vintage Verses SAB stamp set is the From My Heart stamp set
Today's special guest blogger is Liz Miller, from Stampin' with Liz. Her card is so dang cool, I'm showing it "inside - out"...or at least inside "first" lol. Liz used the new Pop 'n Cuts Dress Form and Card Base dies in the 2013 Spring Catalog to make a pop up card that is simply to die for...like magic...one minute it's a "Dress", the next it's transformed the dress into a beautiful flower arrangement!
"This card took some time to make as it was my first time using the new Card Base Pop n’ Cuts/Dress Form Pop n’ Cuts dies. I saw a sample card from Connie Babbert and knew I wanted to give it a try. Thanks Connie for the inspiration!" - Liz

I am just returning from a week in the White Mountains of New Hampshire! It was beautiful, and "old school" quiet as there was no phones, cell or internet service there. Very relaxing! I'm a week behind *gasp* in My Digital Studio downloads, and there are some good ones - not to be missed. Not one but TWO FREE downloads this week! Below are both today's (Feb 26) brand new MDS downloads AND last weeks (Feb 19).
How cool is the new All Dressed Up Bundle in the 2013 Spring catalog? OMG! So many possibilities, this is only the beginning. A simple beauty, from the Dress Up Framelit Die #130101 and the Lacy Brocade impressions folder #127819 (still available from the Holiday Catalog). The words are from the Perfect Punches stamp set #117022 wood, #120516 clear mount.
Designed by Carol Slack.
Part 3 of my Feeling Sentimental stamp set series is a vintage classic. Incorporating a little sponging, some heat embossing and a touch of the en Francais script stamp #109521. Perfect for any occasion, and makes a great masculine card.
This is actually the French version of Feeling Sentimental - designed by Jacynthe Gauthier.

This is the start of a series on the 2013 Sale a Bration stamp set called Feeling Sentimental #129627 wood, #129630 clear mount. I love the images in this stamp set: The Ferris Wheel, the old phone booth (which reminds me of Dr. who lol) and the Old Fashion bicycle.

This new Oh, Whale stamp set (#129129 wood, #129132) is soooo stinkin' cute! He can be found in the 2013 Stampin' Up! Spring catalog And I especially love how it pairs with it's coordinating Clearlits Die: Happy Whale #129403. I had lots of fun making today's video, even my little "goof up" with the colors...ooopsie! Just goes to show, you've got options. Don't miss the little rhinestone tip.
Part 6 in my series of Valentines Day cards is a sweet design, Valentines Tickets using the Take a Ticket wheel #126941 and That's the Ticket stamp set. Both of these stamp sets coordinate with the Ticket Duo punch #126883. This card is from my friend Jackie Ross.
Part 5 in my Valentines Day card series is from the Word Play stamp set. The words says "You're in my thoughts, you're in my heart" and for some reason I always want to sing this to the tune of Rod Stewart's "You're in my heart..." LOL! Sorry the photo quality isn't better, this was a display at Stampin' Up!'s Leadership event last month.
The technique is the chalkboard technique, and you can catch my video tutorial on this technique for details.
Let this week's new downloads (PDF) bring organization to your creative chaos. Yep, it's the one you asked for--the Label This Craft Room download is here. We're so excited about it that we decided to throw in a coordinating freebie with ALL the Stampin' Up! colors. The only question is: what will you label first?
LAST DAY: Don't forget--today is the last day to snatch up content discs on the Clearance Rack for just $1 each.

Part 4 in my series of handmade Valentines Day cards is a beauty! 
Featuring the Vintage Verses stamp set (#129633 wood, #129636 cm) Sale a Bration stamp set. You can get this set free with a $50 order in my online store (in addition you will also earn Frequent Buyer Points and a Free Tutorial from me!). The gorgeous heart and background of this card are from the More Amore Designer Series Paper in the Spring Catalog. Designed by Evelyn Wood.
Part 3 in my series on Valentines Day cards is from my friend, and fellow Stamp It Demonstrator, Lori Muller. It's a classic for sure. Using some cool new products from the Spring Catalog such as the Oh, Hello & Hearts a Flutter Stamp Sets and Framelits. The image is embossed in white on pink heart in the center, really makes it pop.
Remember that "little" snowstorm I mentioned yesterday?!? Well turns out, the weathermen were right! We got hit with a couple feet of snow, and lots of blustery wind (still have that wind)...all from a "little" Blizzard called Nemo lol. As you can see from the pictures, we found Nemo. The image above is my back deck before we went to bed last night (lower) and at 7:45 a.m. this morning (upper)!! Holy snow Batman!!!
It was actually a fun storm, we didn't lose power this time (praise God) and I stamped a lot (see video from yesterday). The photos below are more shots of my deck while it was still snowing. It only stopped being fun when the snowblower didn't work and the kids and I had to shovel. We are grateful for short driveways, and a kind-hearted neighbor who helped us tackle the "plow mountains" at the end with his snowblower.
I had some fun with the My Digital Studio - Downtown Grunge photobook template for these, saved them as jpegs.
The weathermen are predicting an "epic" blizzard today in New England. They've even named it...Nemo...when did they start naming snow storms?? Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel is even here in Boston, that about says it all lol. You know it's going to be bad if Jim is here. I think it's the perfect time to hunker down and stamp! And today's video is one of my "stamping storm" creations. I had some fun with my Artisan Embellishments Kit #129328 & Flower Trim #126869 from the Spring catalog.
This beautiful card idea is great for Valentines day, Wedding, Shower or an elegant birthday. It's gorgeous plain, and it's eye popping with the flowers dyed red. In the video show you how to dye the flowers from the Flower Trim to get this deep, rich color with ink refills. As well as a "cleaner - quicker" stampin' write marker trick (for those afraid to get a little ink on your fingers hehehe).
Part 2 in my series of Valentines Day cards also comes from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set / framelit bundle. So pretty in tones of Rose Red, with a touch of Pool Party (embossed heart). The flower from the flower trim was dyed for the pretty pink color.
Today is part 1 in my series on Valentine's Day card ideas. February 14th is coming, love is in the air and it's in the "cards" lol. This is a beautiful Valentine, with traditional red and white colors. Lots of fun products from the Spring Catalog including the Hearts a Flutter stamps and framelits, Tea Lace paper doilies, and Flower Trim. Design by Sandy Anderson.
How fun is this card created by guest blogger Liz Miller from Stampin' with Liz. Such a stinkin' cute way to use the new Sale-a-bration Patterned Occasions stamp set that you can earn free with your orders. Maybe you don't recognize the words yet? The "Hi there friend" stamp set tis part of the Paper Pumpkin Subscription "Welcome Kit" - out next month. I just love the jeans hanging on a clothes line.
According to the Pennsylvanian groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, an early spring is on the way. Let's celebrate spring with some new downloads. My favorite this week is a toss up between the fabulous Love More Photobook template {*gasp love these colors*} and the You & Me download. Of course, my office will benefit from the Label this Office download lol.
