When the new weekly deals were released, I had to laugh because so many of the items on sale are ones that I’ve used in classes and stamp club this month! Check it out:
So for example, this last week at Stamp Club, we used both the Mother’s Love stamp set and the Something Borrowed embellishments:
And then a couple weeks ago, we were doing an Embossing Folder Fun technique class and we used the Handheld Stapler and Deco Label Framelits (not the ones on the weekly deal this week) but you could do the same technique with the Label Framelits:
And of course, there are those fabulous Washi Sheets that I’ve been sharing with you as part of my Card Celebrations! Fun with Washi Sheets class:
And if you were interested in registering for this class by mail, I do have the instructions ready and available NOW and will be starting to mail out kits in the next couple days. So you still have time to sign up or purchase the instructions here.
Get Ready for the Butterfly Thinlits!
Just a reminder that hopefully tomorrow the butterfly thinlits will be back in stock! And see, they go so well with the Something Borrowed Embellishments!

Have you been loving the Butterfly Thinlits? I LOVE how pretty the delicate shapes are from the dies like on this card I made with the Red Glimmer Paper:
And I will say (even though I totally forgot to get a picture before I gave away all my swaps) that I really enjoy how EASY it is to put together a card with the Butterfly Basics stamp set. Seriously, it looks like an ok stamp set in the catalog, but when you start playing with it, cards start coming together really quickly! Here is one that I was sent recently (and it got a little crinkled in the mail!
Card by Susan Timchack
Well, I know a bunch of folks missed out when it was available at the beginning of the year and Stampin’ Up knows how frustrated everyone has been with the dies and the discounted bundle being out of stock for so long due to the dock workers strike that was going on recently, especially if you were hoping to get the bundle and earn Sale-a-Bration benefits with it! So, because Stampin’ Up is awesome – they are offering a special “thank you for your patience” deal as soon as the dies show up in their warehouse and go on sale. Check it out:
The dies are expected in the warehouse TODAY and should be available for purchase on WEDNESDAY (April 15th)!
Everyone has been eagerly awaiting the return of these dies, so while they should be getting a lot in, I would make sure to order yours early to make sure you don’t have a bit of a wait in line as everyone makes a run on them!

Ok, so I have A LOT to catch up on… so, big breath in, and get ready to dive in to some project ideas for you!
First up, this fun birthday card idea using the Sale-a-Bration stamp set – Big Day!
Tips for making this card:
This was my first time using the new Chalk inks… and with it my first time playing with the new Chalkboard paper! This paper has the COOLEST texture and is so fun to play with. You want to stamp on the SMOOTH side with the chalk inks so that the ink will sit on the surface and give you that pretty chalkboard look. (this is the Coral Rose color)
Add your own extra touches with the Chalk Pen! The white dots under the cake and the white lines along the side of the chalkboard paper are made with the Chalk Pen. As you can see, it is really vibrant on the Chalkboard paper, but more “chalky” when drawing on regular cardstock.
Make a fun embellishment piece by using the new Ornate Tag Topper punch… only don’t just stick to one side, do both! I had a 2” strip of Whisper White cardstock that I punched both ends. Then run some ribbon through the holes (and tie together on the inside of the card) to hold it in place.
Jazz up your Ornate tag by grabbing a Stampin’ Write marker and drawing a border about 1/16” in from the edge of the tag. Really helps you see the design, huh?
And don’t hesitate to stamp your image and then stamp & color a second version to pop-up on top! It keeps it interesting to look at when viewed at different angles, but you only have to color one.
Lots of fun… and if you need another idea, here is a reminder of one of the official cards shared in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. I love the colors and the little pop of dimension with the “Celebrate”
Now, if you are like me and LOVE the black, white, and yellow combination, I really hope you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber because check out March’s kit and a fun alternate idea.
You have THROUGH TODAY (3/31/2015) to pick up a 3-month Prepaid subscription to the super fun kits by mail each month and not only SAVE $$ but also get a free Sale-a-Bration item to boot! I know, awesome right? I already picked up mine!
We never know what we are going to get until it ships out to us around the 15th of the month, but over the last year they have been working hard to improve the projects and how much you get in your box and so they have turned out to be really fun projects and you end up with lots of supplies. You know you will always get:
an exclusive stamp set
precut papers and supplies to make usually 6-9 copies of the project, though this varies by month and the project
all the accessories you need for the project and sometimes variations
envelopes (if they are cards)
instructions with video walkthroughs online
ink spots
Basically all you need is scissors and adhesive! (See, now you get why I said they make great gifts!)
Here is what we got for March:
And check out what my downline, Angela McCormack made with it!!!
If you aren’t in love, then you are a tough crowd!
Here is the video that went with it showing how to make the project:
You can cancel at any time or skip a month whenever you want…. so why not give it a try? You know you’ll be excited to see that awesome orange box in your mailbox next month.
Ok, so don’t wait! You only have until midnight MOUNTAINTime to get your order in and pick up your favorites. And then the will be gone and possibly not to be seen again (unless you earned your way to my Sale-a-Bration Celebration, in which case you make be lucky and have one last chance )
And if you’ve been thinking of making the plunge into the awesome world of being a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator (or just have a wishlist that is over $100), I would LOVE to have you join my growing group of Fun n’ Crafty stampers from across the US! We are an active and supportive group that create, share, and cheer each other on and we would love to welcome you in.
Plus you get 2 free Sale-a-bration items or a Project kit as a bonus for signing up in addition to the $125 in product for $99 and free shipping. But who is counting?

And if that isn’t enough, new weekly deals were released this morning too… so double or triple dip your savings and take advantage while you can.
Ok, that was long enough, thanks for sticking with me and have a great day!
Project Supplies Used: Easy shopping anytime! Click the images below to see the item in the online store.
Well, I’m almost recovered from this awful stomach bug and am slowly getting back into the world of feeling like a normal human being… the worst part has been that my hubby has been away on a business trip since right before this kicked in, and so while I had planned to get all this stuff done at night and during the kiddos naps… instead I’ve been sleeping or curled up too! So, while I don’t have a cute project to share today, I do have news that the Clearance Rack was updated last night!
Many popular items from the Holiday Catalog were added and so if you missed out on something, now is your time to grab it! Including:
And yes, even that Santa from the Get Your Santa On stamp set (ps – this card was from my Fun n’ Crafty team’s Holiday Catalog swap but I don’t have written down who make it, so if it was you, let me know and I’ll get your name posted right away!)
With 1 week left to take advantage of the Sale-a-bration freebies that come with the Starter Kit, I know there have been a few folks on the fence and I’ve been answering questions about the starter kit and the details of what happens after you sign up.
So I wanted to run a Live Video Chat on Saturday to answer those questions along with any questions YOU have! If you can’t make it during the call, sign up anyway and I’ll make sure you get the recording.

Ok, so I got super distracted last night with organizing my crafting space (I was cleaning and noticed that my now overly large collection of just the larger sized punches were getting too heavy and bowing the bottom of my drawer!) and so it was time for them to move. Though I wasn’t quite sure where I was going to move them TO because I wanted them close at hand but liked everything else I had close at hand. In the end, they pushed my Big Shot out of the way and took a prime spot on the back of my craft table. So we will see how this goes!
So the card I planned to make and share got pushed off to today, but thankfully I have some backups for you and a special St. Patrick’s Day sale!
St. Patrick’s Day Special – Get 17% off your entire Stampin’ Up order!
This special is for today only… but shhh… if you email me by 9am PST tomorrow (3/18) I’ll honor the special since this post was so late in going up!

Did you see the game yesterday? Sadly, I had an event so I missed most of the Seahawks vs Packers football game but I got to catch the very end and the exciting news that my local Seahawks are headed back to the Superbowl! Woo Hoo!
So, to celebrate, I had to offer a 12th Man discount through tomorrow. 🙂

Happy Tuesday! With Tuesday comes not only the newest Weekly Deals – with some fun punches for 25% off – but also a new photopolymer set as well!
New Weekly Deals
So many great items this week. I can’t get enough of the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack – if you don’t have it, you won’t be sad you did! Browse some projects using them.
I also love the starburst framelits (see project ideas) and the stitched ribbon. So really, you just can’t go wrong! 🙂
There has also been a new stamp set released today as well. Which is good if you are selling your projects (because the (c) Stampin’ Up text grants you the right to resell projects using images from SU) or if you just need a cute thing to put on the back of your cards. 🙂
I can’t believe we are down to the last 2 days of 2014! I always think I’m going to get so much done during the Christmas “break” but turns out between Christmas, 3 household birthdays, and visiting family the time just flies by!
For example, while rearranging and reorganizing my craft room (again), I found extra Holiday Catalog paper samplers. I had planned to do something with them a month ago but totally forgot.
See we prepped a bunch for my Stampin’ Bingo night this fall and had a couple people cancel at the last minute which left me with extras. Which got put in my cupboard… and out of sight, out of mind.
So, my forgetfulness is your gain!
Purchase one of the extra Paper Samplers for only $10 plus shipping to you! It would have cost you $76 plus tax and shipping to get all of these papers before and this way you get a little bit of all of them!
