SEE YA LATER AND GORGEOUS GRUNGE COLLIDE!

Gorgeous Grunge was one of those stamp sets that I was certain I did not need.  My mind was quickly changed, and I knew I NEEDED to add it to my ever-growing collection of "Must-Have" stamp sets.  I paired it with See Ya Later (one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp sets) for this card.

See Ya Later was the very first Sale-A-Bration "Must-Have" stamp sets for me, and I am not regretting that decision at all.  Monday night the Rubber Room will be hosting a Sale-A-Bration Open House and Bingo Bash, and this is one of the make-and-takes we will be making.  I am very fond of this color  combination (Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and So Saffron).  I used framelits to cut the oval for the sentiment and the Old Olive piece it is layered onto.  Then I sponged a little So Saffron around the edges of the oval.  I think I can safely add this to my stash of masculine birthday cards.

ROSES FOR VALENTINE'S DAY!

I had a wonderful workshop this evening, and this is one of the projects we made.

These beautiful roses were made with the Spiral Flower Originals Die (available in the Occasions Catalog) and felt.  For the white rose, I sponged the edges with Primrose Petals Classic Ink and the red rose is sponged with Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink.  I also made one where I used my "samples" and put the red one and the white one together.  I will take a photo tomorrow and share that one with you.  These were very easy and fun to make.  I love the look and may have to make lots more!

PETITE PETALS AND MODERN MEDLEY MEET UP!

I love a "meet up" especially on Valentine's Day!  This isn't a Valentine's "meet up", but check it out!

Last night was our Demo Diva night, and we also exchanged our Occasions Catalog swap cards.  All of the swaps are awesome, and I am so excited about sharing them with you!  This one is made with the Petite Petals Stamp Set and Punch, which you can "bundle" (purchase together) and save 15% on. I used the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper, the Tasteful Trim Biz XL Die for the Big Shot, the Decorative Label Punch and some Neutrals Candy Dots for the center of my flowers.  The sentiment is from the Really Good Greetings Stamp Set.  That seems like a long list of supplies, but it is a very quick and easy card to make because of all the punches and coordinating stamps....

PETAL PARADE AND PERFECT PENNANTS!

Tonight was Demo Diva Night.  One of my favorite nights each month.  So much sharing and creativity and such good friends....  Here is the card Keri shared with us.

Keri used the Sale-A-Bration Petal Parade stamp set, along with the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set (available in the Occasions Catalog), some Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper, also FREE in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  The Chevron strip is from the Positively Chevron Background Stamp, the flowers were made using the Blossom Punch (available in the Stampin' Up! 2013-2014 Annual Catalog) and the Petite Petals Punch (available in the Occasions Catalog).  Then we simply accessorized with the Pearl Jewels and the Tea Lace Paper Doilies.  I love the color combination and how soft this card looks.  Thanks so much for sharing with us, Keri!

PEACEFUL PETALS 2014 CALENDAR!

"That Michelle" brought me a calendar last week, and I finally got around to cutting the calendar pages and putting them together and finishing the flower....  Here is the finished project, which I really like!

The flower and leaves come from the Peaceful Petals stamp set available in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.  I used my Blender Pen and Ink Pads to get the watercolor look on the flowers and leaves. The paper is from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper Pack, which is available for FREE in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.
