Elementary Elegance

I love all the products that Stampin' Up is offering in the Sale-a-bration catalog. Not only are the products fantastic but even better is that you earn them for FREE when you place a $50 order (now through March 31st). One of my new favorite stamp sets is from the Sale-A-Bration catalog, Elementary Elegance.

I used the stamp set in this birthday card I designed for a swap. The base is Calypso Coral which I then embossed in my Big Shot using the polka dot folder. I then ran strips of whisper white and lucky limeade, and tied calypso coral organdy ribbon and coordinating brads (both of which I again earned from the Sale-A-Bration catalog). Perfect time to stock up on the necessities like paper, ribbon etc and earn FREE merchandise. Remember to stamp a little love!

Start celebrating with Sale-A-Bration

It's that time of year again, Stampin' Up's annual Sale-A-Bration promotion (January 24-March 31st)! This card was created with one of the stamp sets you can get FREE for spending $50. Yup--FREE!

I took whisper white card stock as my base and layered pear pizzazz and peach parfait on top of that. Then, I ran it through the Big Shot with a polka dot embossing folder. Added the cute "celebrate" expression from the Outlined Occasions stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog, some bling with rhinestones and colored it in with markers. Simple, and sweet! Remember to stamp a little love.

Mini brag book

I know, it's been a while. Well, what better way to start 2012 than to revamp my creative juices. This project is perfect for displaying all the fond memories you will be making this year. Don't know where to start? My house on the 12th of February...I'm holding a stamp camp where we will be making this mini brag book as well as 12 cards (no envelopes). The best part is we create everything using ONE Stampin' Up Simply Scrappin' Kit found in the new Occasions Mini (see my website at www.stampwithlora.stampinup.net for more information on the class.  Everything you need to make this adorable brag book can be made with the scrapping' kit.

This is the inside cover of the brag book that uses some of the wonderful designer series paper, stickers, and card stock included in the kit. This particular kit is the Spring Fever set but there are tons of other kits to choose from if this doesn't appeal to you in both the Occasions Mini and Idea Book & Catalog.

The brag book holds 15 pictures and is perfect to display them all!  Remember to stamp a little love today!
