Introducing Project Life by Stampin' Up!

Basic Black is not just for formals!

I love the crisp, clean look of a black and white card.  This simple note card features the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack ,  the Happy Watercolor stamp set featured in the Occasions seasonal catalog, as well as the hello banner and framelits from the Perfect Pennants bundle.  The darling gingham frame around the poppy is from the Kind and Cozy stamp set, and the sweet little butterfly is a stamp from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and punched with the Bitty Butterfly Punch.  Of course you'll want to add a little bling using our Rhinestone Accents.  

 

You can Shop 24/7 any of these items when you click here!

Happy Stamping!

I love these pop-up box cards!

Tonight I am teaching this adorable card for the 3rd time.  I love this design more every time I make a new design.  I found the original pattern on Splitcoast, but I have redesigned mine so that it will fit in our Stampin'Up! Whisper White envelopes .  I have used the beautiful Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, which you can choose as your FREE gift with each $50 purchase you make between now and March 31 .  You can shop 24/7 for all your Stampin'Up! supplies on my website:  www.mycreativepad.stampinup.net 

The new Stampin'Up! catalog has arrived!

I know that your wish list will be as long as mine, after you spend a little time pouring over the pages and pages of beautiful artwork and great new products.  In addition to fun new stamps, papers and embellishments, the new catalog features a new collection of In-Colors for 2013-2015.

Share your love of creating with some wall decor

Here's an art tray that I made for an upcoming class.  I wanted something that would be suitable for Valentine's Day, but that wasn't specific to the holiday.  2013 is going to be a year of celebrations for my family! We are looking forward to the arrival of our first grandchild in less than 2 months, so I thought I could use something soft and sweet for pictures of the baby.  In June my husband and I will celebrate our 30th anniversary, so I can pull out this tray and pop in a picture from our wedding when we mark that special day.  Then in August, my son is going to be married, so I think I will make very good use of this decoration that is filled with love! I used the Stampin'Up! More Amore Specialty Designer Paper,  the Artisan Embellishments kit, and the Hearts a Flutter Bundle.  For more information on how to order these products, please visit my Stmpin'Up! website, here.  Rmember, it's Sale-a-Bration time, so if you order the items I used in this project, you would earn a FREE item of our choice from the Sale-a-Bration brochure !  Happy creating!

Shake Your Booty!

I wish I could remember where I first saw these little brooms being made.  I would love to give credit to the creative soul who came up with them!  They are so much fun to make, and I am seeing them on paper crafts all over these days.  This cute little one was just the embellishment I was looking for to complement the darling witch's boot and sentiment from the Bootiful Occasions stamp set. 
Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a BOO-tiful day.

 Here's a sneak peek at one of the cards we will be making at the upcoming Stamp-A-Stacks this week.
