Let's Talk About Little Ladybug. . .

Good Morning Stampers!  

I wanted to pop by this morning and talk briefly with you about the Sale-A-Bration host set called Little Ladybug.  

It is found on page 17 of the Sale-A-Bration flyer and is a host-only product.  

If you host a party (workshop) at your house or mine and have sales over $375.00 you get this adorable stamp set.....for FREE!  This is only during Sale-A-Bration. 

Added bonus. . . coming the first of February, Stampin' Up! is releasing coordinating products and one of the items is a die set that coordinates with this stamp set!  Woo hoo! 

Now...there is another way to get your hands on this adorable stamp set...and here are the details: 

Bring a friend (who has never attended my classes before) to any class during the month of February.  

On the day of the class, you get a ballot to be entered into the draw for this stamp set to be drawn on Feb 29th. 

Easy! 

Bring two friends- get two ballots!  Bring three friends- get three ballots!  You get the picture....the more friends you bring....the more entry ballots you receive. 

Here is a closeup image of the stamps:

Check out my February class schedule on my website and call all your friends and see if they want to join you! Then contact me to reserve your seats!

Funny Story. . . and YouTube videos. . .

Today I wanted to share with you a funny story about a conversation  I had last night with one of my newer customers.

We were talking, and I was telling her that I was trying to upload a video to YouTube.  She said that she did not know I did YouTube videos. 

I told her that I did many years ago....short informative videos poorly done because I was so nervous...but nothing relevant now. 

Well, she went to my YouTube channel and watched every one of the videos!  Then she messaged me and told me that she had learned a bunch of stuff from them!  Who knew!

She learned:

• how to refill her Stampin' Write markers
• about adhesives
• dental floss trick
• dowel trick
• tear n tape trick for ribbon

So, surprising to me, videos from as far back as 8 years ago still had some value to my customer.  Who knew! 

I am going to try and make card making videos. . . and hope to share them with you really soon. 

I made one the night before last but it was a hot mess and I cannot find a video editing program where I can remove the audio and then do a voice over.....I am working on finding this solution.  

Last night I made a quick video on a few of the upcoming new coordination products coming Feb , and it has been posted to my YouTube channel.

Painted Poppies paired with So Sentimental Bundle....a stunning combination!

Happy Friday Stampers! 

You ever have one of those weeks where you had such good intentions, plans set, but then WHAM! life throws you a curveball and there go all your plans!  LOL!  Yep, you guessed it, this was my week.  

I had intentions of sharing creating and sharing four Poppy cards with you this week. . . but that did not happen.  My apologies for that. 

However, the good news is that I am here now with inspiration card number two.  Check out this beauty and a trick/tip:

Here is the color palette for my card: 

 

I cannot say enough good things about this GORGEOUS bundle of products. . . I am addicted!  

The beautiful designer series papers make the cards pop with vibrant colors.  

My card base is Poppy Parade 8.5 x 5.5 scored at 4.25
My dsp layer is 4x5.25
I wrapped black satin ribbon around the dsp layer prior to gluing it to the card base. 
The sentiment mat layer is Basic Black
The sentiment layer is Whisper White
The poppies were also stamped on Whisper White. 

Now for the trick/tip.  I used the So Sentimental bundle for the greeting and greeting tag.  This bundle is WONDERFUL. . . can use it for SO MANY different occasions and you can pair the dies with other greetings as well!  Bonus! 

I die stamped and die cut the greeting.....then I took my paper snips and cut along the stitched line all the way around....easy peasy.....and that allowed the black layer to mat perfectly behind it making the greeting POP!  Cool huh! 

After I got my card put together I wanted to give it a little something special so I grabbed my Wink of Stella and brushed it over the flowers making them shimmer and shine.  Here is a closeup:

If you live in Canada and would like to purchase any of these products please go to my online store here:

Jan 7, 2020...Poppies! ...and a sweet ribbon trick. . .

Hello stampers!  

I just wanted to pop on today to share with you my Poppy card featuring the GORGEOUS Peaceful Poppies designer series paper by Stampin' Up!  

This stuff is AMAZING!  It does the work for you!  

It is part of the Peaceful Poppies suite found on page 25 of the Mini catalog.  This whole suite is AMAZING!  

It has TWO bundles, the Painted Poppies Bundle and the Peaceful Moments Bundle, Peaceful Poppies sequins, Whisper White Seam Binding Ribbon and Peaceful Poppies Elements.  

One word. . . WOWZERS! 

Ok Shel....enough gushing...back to the card.  

My card base is Blackberry Bliss.  The greeting is from another new stamp set found on page 32 Bonanza Buddies. (another great suite!)

Now check out this ribbon: 

Are you ready for the trick?  

I took Silver Metallic Edge ribbon from the annual catalog...and colored it with Blackberry Bliss Stampin' blends!  

You can do this with any color blend....easy!  

After I colored it, I attached a strip to the dsp, then made a double bow on my bowmaker tool (compliments of my talented hubby) and voila!  

If you wish to order any of these fabulous products, I have an order going in this Thursday....simply contact me or shop my online store here:
