This is a very striking card from the Perfect Pennants stamp set in the Stampin Up Occasions catalog. I love the new Fresh Prints designer paper stack and Retro Fresh designer Washi Tape on this card. Created by Debbie Flattum.
CARD: Love You to the Moon Valentine
Love You to the Moon! It's not only fun to say, it's also a great new stamp set in the Stampin Up 2014 Occasions catalog. I especially love the new "gold collection" on it, Fancy Foil Vellum, Gold Foil sheets and Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape! It also features the Banner Framelits for the Big Shot. All combined for a very cool Valentine's Day card. Created by Kay Cogbill.
CARD: Lovely as a Tree Dryer Sheet Beauty and Video
The "dryer sheet" technique is one of my most popular videos ever (click here or scroll below). It is so easy and beautiful, I used it again to create this swap card for Stampin' Up Leadership in Houston a couple of weeks ago.
Along with the dryer sheet technique, I used the Woodgrain impressions folder for the background and rubbed white craft ink over the top "direct to paper".
CARD: Happy Watercolor Wonder
Fabulous card created with new brand new products in the Stampin Up Occasions Catalog. the background is from the Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper, the "thinking of you" words are from the Peaceful Petals stamp set and it is layered on Happy Watercolor stamp set. Simple and beautiful. Created by Seongsook Duncan.
VIDEO: Valentine’s Day Hearts Card from Countless Sayings
Eat your heart out with today's Valentine's Day card video. Very cool card created using one of Stampin Up's new photopolymer "clear" stamp sets called Countless Sayings II. I had some fun trying to pronounce that word - photopolymer lol. The Heart Framelit dies create this heart "pop" effect, and the new Gold Foil Vellum finishes the card off with a WOW.

Stampin Up Leadership Event Recap and Videos
Last week I was blessed to be able to attend Stampin Up's annual Leadership event that took place in Houston, TX. What an amazing time. It was so amazing to have Shelli Gardner (CEO and Co-Founder) with us after her horrible accident last year. She received a standing ovation!
That kicked the event off with a bang. Right off, they played a highlights video and interview from my trip to the Home Office in Riverton, UT in November when I hit the Million Dollar sales (See below). My Mom had gone with me on the trip, and neither of us had seen the video, it was very emotional and we were both bawling. Then Shelli called me up on stage, OMG! I was so unprepared for that, here I am crying, and I had brought an outfit thinking they would do this later in the event (not the first day) I was wearing jeans and everything.
That night was the annual Stampin Up Manager's Reception at the Houston Aquarium! It was one of the best ever! We pet and fed stingrays, ate lots, and rode rides. My show fell off on the ride that shoots you up in the sky, then drops you (dang it!). There some amazing fish tanks there, and this one particular Goliath Grouper fish and I were taking a selfie when we were "photobombed" by a tank diver...intentionally!! Funniest picture EVER! The best part was the tank diver giving me the Robert Dinero "I'm watching you" fingers to the eyes sign from the tank after hahaha.
The best part of the trip was spending time with my Stamp It group of friends. We are spread all over the country, and talk on Facebook daily, but stampin events are often the only time we get to see each other and hang out. We had so much fun! Another highlight was having dinner with Shelli & Sterling, Rich Jutkins, Chad Richards, Pam Morgan, Dave Baugh and my mom. My mom and Shelli split a meal, they are BFFs now, in fact I'm pretty sure Shelli adopted my mom and is now my big sister hahaha. Good times!
There were so many fun times. You can view all of my pictures and stories here on FB in my Leadership album >
So excited this HUGE basket of goodies has arrived at my house (in 2 huge boxes) and I can't wait to open it all. - Stampin Up gave me the entire Occasions catalog for achieving a Million Dollars in sales...WOWOWOW!! Of course I had bought a bunch of things from that catalog because it is AWESOME and I didn't know, so now I have duplicates...what to do, what to do...I think I am going to spread the love and give a lot of these duplicate goodies away to my Demonstrator Group as incentives (stay tuned for more gang)!!
Want to join the fun? Here are some more exciting announcements that were made:
- Stampin Ups Annual Convention 2014- July 17-19. In Salt Lake City - come for FREE
HUGE NEWS!!! Join Stampin up now and attend FREE!!!! And if you've joined July 1, 2013 thru now. Attend for free!! Who's coming with me?!?! - Stampin University - training, videos and more for new demonstrators

CARD: Thinking of You from Blessed Easter

Video: New Tag Topper Punches
Learn how to make tags of any length with just one punch. Most tag punches punch out the entire tag, so you're limited to one size. Now there's a tool that punches out just the top of a tag so you can choose how long you want your tag to be. It also punches out the hole for a tassel or thread so you don't have to do it separately.
TAG TOPPER PUNCHES

CARD: Giggle Greetings Tail Chasing Dog
This stamp set totally cracks me up, it's so funny! I love this doggy chasing his tail and it says "You did it! now go chase your dream...or your tail or whatever ..." hahaha! I made this with some friends last weekend. Colored the dog with daffodil delight, pumpkin pie and early espresso stampin write markers.
The textured background is called "Decorative Dots" #133520 a "sneak peek" of an upcoming Impressions Folder that you will be able to earn free during Stampin' Up!'s Sale a Bration which begins January 26. As demonstrators we get to earn SAB products early...score! Just one more reason I love being a demonstrator.
VIDEO: Someone Special Valentines Day Candy Bar
Happy New Years Day! Ringing in 2014 with a candy bar for that someone special. I love candy bar gifts, you can give them alone, or turn that gift card gift into something special when you attach it to the back. I made these with full size Hershey bar (shown with a Symphony bar with almonds). Any candy bar will work, in the video I'll show you how to figure out what size to cut your card stock. The designer paper is from Stampin up's Modern Medley and the tag is from the Chalk Talk framelit and stamp set.
VIDEO: Spiral Flower Die
Make your own 3-D flowers, perfect every time! Use the Spiral Flower Originals die to cut a scalloped spiral, roll it up, and there you have it--instant flower! Use with the Big Shot and Standard Cutting Pads.
Check out the video below and see how it's done. Paper flowers are beautiful but cutting them by hand is tedious, especially if you're making a bunch. Now you can cut a flower in seconds with the Spiral Flower Originals Die and Big Shot. And you can cut multiple sheets at one time or use different materials. After the flowers are cut, just roll and adhere. Make one, make a ton—either way, you'll be done in no time!

Die size: 3-1/2" x 4"

CARD: Festive Flurry hanging Snowflake Card
Merry Christmas my friends! Today I thought I'd share a super cool winter / Christmas theme card created by Liz Miller of Stampin' with Liz!
MDS: Cool Shaped Photo Cards & new downloads
I created my Christmas Cards using Stampin Up's digital software "My Digital Studio" (MDS). They just came out with these cool new "shaped" photo cards that I think are the coolest ever! And I'm not just saying that because I'm so proud of my handsome guys on the front.
These cards were really easy to make, I just created a "postcard" project in MDS. Then changed the "View > Bleed Area" to Artisan for this shape (we also have Scalloped Shaped Cards). I printed them directly through the MDS program. Super easy, and so awesome. I love them.
Here's a Screen Shot of how to change to the shaped post card in MDS:
Here's the front and back view of the cards. When you have them printed through MDS, they even come with envelopes.
I used: A Little of This Designer Kit Download # 127585 for the Banner on the front & Delightful Dozen stamp image download #127597 for the greeting on the back "Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!".

Lovely as a Tree Gift Bags & Instagram
Today's awesome project is from Liz Miller of www.stampinwithliz.com.
Do you have an all-time favorite stamp set? Well this is mine! I stamped the tree in Pear Pizzazz then used the thumping (or spanking) technique with the Always Artichoke marker and then used the Chocolate Chip marker to color in the trunk. Turned out pretty neat, huh? Don’t forget to stamp your tissue paper too! ~ Liz
Do you Instagram on your phone? I'm fairly new to the Instagram community and I'm totally hooked! I'm an amateur photographer (emphasis on amateur lol) and love to share my pictures there as well as my crafting projects. If you are on Instagram you can find me @stampwithtami.
