SAB Yes, it is that time of year again! The time of year when we get FREE stuff from SU!. Now through March 31st you will get a free stamp set, ribbon or paper from the SAB mini catalog for each $50 in catalog merchandise you spend. In addition to this you can get another free item when you host an at home workshop. There are four stamp sets, one package of designer series paper(dsp), and a ribbon bundle to choose from. The paper is an excellent deal as it has 16 sheets of dsp as opposed to the regular 12. The ribbon bundle contains one 5 yd roll of so saffron 3/8" grossgrain ribbon and one 5 yd roll of certainly celery 3/8" soft twill ribbon. Both are gorgeous by the way. I have uploaded two samples using 3 items from the SAB mini catalog. I chose these because they all coordinate with each other and I love it when everything matches. I used the Polka Dot Punches stamp set, the Delicate Dots dsp, and the ribbon. The main images on both cards were stamped in whisper white ...

Welcome to my new Stampin' blog. I have thought about starting one for a while and with the new catalog just coming out I thought this was the perfect opportunity. Hopefully this will serve as a place for new ideas, product information and fun! Please feel free to post questions and comments I really would like this to be a place for you and I to grow creatively. That said I am patiently waiting for my box of new goodies to come. If you were wondering what was on my must have list I will tell you a few things... I love the new birdie line so I got the Cheep Talk stamp set, the matching Good Morning Sunshine DSP , and matching So Tweet chipboard. I just couldn't resisit all of these coordinating products! It makes it really easy to put together projects that way. The other part of my order consisted of the Top-Note die and the new SU! texturz plates. I have seen so many beautiful cards and projects using these I simply have to try them myself. I will be sure to share with you ...

I made these cards using the new stamps, paper and punch by Stampin' Up! They are currently available for 20% off when you purchase the bundle by January 31st. You know I enjoy a new punch when I see one and this one was a lot of fun to use. I know this bundle reflects Valentine's Day but it will definately be good for birthdays, weddings, scrapbook pages and just sweet love notes. Please let me know if you are interested in the Love You Much bundle (item # 115405) $ 41.48.
