CARD: Cool Kid Super Hero Dog

cool kid-maria daubertThis card gets filed under Super Stinkin' Cute!!! Love the "Amazing Superhero" doggie. Too freakin' adorable to resist this "Cool Kid" stamp set, and it goes so perfectly with the Retro Fresh designer paper. Both are in the Occasions Catalog that ends June 1 and neither are being carried over into the new Catalog. Which means there's only a month left to get them. Designed by Maria Daubert.

CARD: Happy Watercolor masked Card

I am including the digital version of the Soho Subway DSP since that is being discontinued. Created by Diana Krug.

CARD: Smile it’s a Happy Day

gorgeous grungeYou're smiling aren't you? It's the card isn't it? You can't look at this card and not smile. It's "subliminal" lol, or something like that. The Smile is from the retiring "Happy Day" stamp set. The fun and colorful background was created with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. The best part is the {parenthesis} was created with the Decorative Label punch. Genius!

Stampin Up Catalog Premiere Updates

  10256211_10152150997158763_3466835459044110087_n Oh what a night!! Last night was the Stampin Up Catalog Premiere Event - for the first time EVER Stampin Up broadcasted a Live from Long Beach, CA to almost 40 locations throughout the United States. 1 being my hometime of Marlboro, Massachusetts!! Since I usually have to travel hours to the closest event when SU comes around, you can imagine my excitement. We were so excited Mom and I painted our car windows, or in my case, my truck windows...because nothing says "Red Carpet" like a pick up truck with window paint. Or was that "Red Neck"??? I'm sure it's "Red Something" hahaha. It actually came out cool, my kids helped. 10171190_10152150997198763_9089697594069013163_nStampin Up window paint truck windows stampwithtami My demonstrator group and friends all met at Olive Garden for a super fun dinner first. Hoping someone got a better picture than this one because there was so many of us, we didn't all fit in the picture.The second is me and my friend Selene Kempton at dinner. 10289905_10152151319123763_495285395168038339_n 10006179_10152151320673763_4409431146777563811_n 2 of my gals were asked to do registration for the event and had to miss dinner, so we photobombed Marie Aviza and Teresa Howe while they were working the desk. They also go to hand out prizes and the new catalog at the end of the night. The event was AMAZING!! We got to see lots of techniques, new products and got a new stamp set along with the new Catalog!! Shelli Gardner (CEO and Co-Founder of Stampin Up) took the stage and she looked fabulous, she gave an update from her accident she says she feels great. 10308354_10152151322818763_3675017058227423685_n 1422588_10152151329993763_4093758815763799913_n MEET THE NEW STAMPIN UP CATALOG!!!

CARD: Amazing Sunflower WOW Card

sunflower-gail loweThis may just be one of the most amazing cards I've ever seen! I received this card 2 years ago from Gail Lowe, I hadn't met Gail yet. We were both on the Stampin' Up Disney trip that year. I was so awed by her card that I sought her out and finally found and met her on the last night during our Farewell dinner lol. She told me how she created the card, and I planned on making a video out of her cool and genius technique and then I lost the paper with Gail's instructions!!! So for 2 years this beautiful card has sat in my "Video Que" of projects waiting for me to film, but not going anywhere because I can't remember how she made it. Sunflower is one of my favorite stamps, and now that the it's retiring, I can't hide this beauty anymore. I have to share it. I apologize for not have instructions, but I'm guessing we can improvise and make similarly gorgeous creations with this stamp (but hurry it's almost gone forever).   Stampin Up Retirement list  

CARD: Petite Petals and Flower Shop

VIDEO: “Outside the Holiday Box” Ornament Vase Card

backyard basics-stampin upI wanted to call this the "Spring Holiday Ornament Vase" card but that seemed like an oxymoron lol! It is an awesome outside the box idea for the Holiday Ornament Framelit, turning it into a vase. Check out today's video for the "how to" and some fun with the Backyard Basics stamp set.

Note: Sorry for the "tease"...This was originally created for my Stamp club last month. The Banner Blast stamp set and punch were Sale-a-Bration items that are no longer available. I am hoping maybe we'll see that punch again in the future. That portion could be easily subbed with another word set and not take away from the beauty of the card layout.dont keep calm stampin up retirement list

More Notes: So you don't miss out on anything stay tuned! The Stampin Up Retirement List is being announced Monday, April 21 and ALL ITEMS are WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! Both stamp sets AND accessories. Stay tuned for more details on both the Retirement Lists and New Catalogs coming shortly.

VIDEO: Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Flowers

reeses treat pops

So flippin' adorable and yummy, these Reese's Minatures Peanut Butter Cup flowers were made with the Stampin' Up Fun Flowers Sizzix die from Stampin Up. Very fun and easy to make a bunch. Great for Easter, shower gifts, birthday, etc. You can even make a "flower Garden" with a bunch of these. Check out my video below for the "how to". The hardest part is finishing without eating all of the peanut butter cups. Yummy chocolate treats.
