Sprinkled Expressions is a free item!

This card features lots of new products.  The stamp set is SPRINKLED EXPRESSIONS.  It is a FREE item during SALE-A-BRATION.  Spend $50 and pick a FREE item!  You can get the stamp set in clear or wood.

The designer paper is also a FREE item.  It is called EVERYDAY EXPRESSIONS.  Lots of fun color combinations in this packet.

The top of the card features a new item called ADORNING ACCENTS EMBOSSING FOLDER.  There are 3 small embossing folders that come in this package.  Thanks to Donna for making this sample! 

Oops...a little blurry...but I think you will get the idea!

Love the layout here with the big circle (just place it on your project and then cut off the straight edges). 

The big STAR PUNCH has a smaller star layered on top of it.  And take note how she scrunched the ribbon...to do this...just put down a strip of ADHESVIE, then scrunch and press your ribbon in place.

Thanks to Candy Michael for making this card sample.

All of this designer paper is part of the EVERYDAY EXPRESSIONS packet...a FREE item during SALE-A-BRATION!

Have a great day!  Lori :)

If you don't have a SALE-A-BRATION catalog or the OCCASIONS mini catalog, please let me know.

 

Elementary Elegance FREE Product

Here is another sample using a FREE stamp set. The set has 7 stamps in it (5 are images and 2 are sayings).  Thanks to Barb Mullikin for making this sample. 

POOL PARTY and CALYPSO CORAL are the 2 main colors used here.  The fun thing about the big frame stamp....is that there is a CURLY LABEL PUNCH that coordinates with it.  It just makes everything easier to work with when things coordinate.

RUFFLED RIBBON is used across the card and a very tiny piece of the 1/8" Organdy Ribbon (which is another FREE item).  The designer paper is called EVERY ENCHANTMENT (also FREE).  The very bottom edge of the card uses the ADORNING ACCENTS EDGELITS (p. 7 of the Occasions Mini).

Have a great day!  Lori :)

Fresh Vintage FREE Stamp Set

Sale-a-Bration is here...and that means FREE product from Stampin' Up! 

This card uses the new set called FRESH VINTAGE.  It is one of the choices for FREE product during Sale-a-bration.  There are 5 stamps in the set.  Carla Bosselaar made this project - thank you!  In order to get all the color on the floral stamp, you need to use your markers.  Color on the stamp itself and then "huff" on the stamp to re-moisten the ink...then stamp on your cardstock.

Notice the sponging technique used on the edges of the circle.  The paper in the background is from a pack of paper that you can also get for FREE.  The paper pack is called EVERYDAY ENCHANTMENT.  It features these colors:  LUCKY LIMEADE, POOL PARTY, CALYPSO CORAL, PEACH PARFAIT, POPPY PARADE, VERY VANILLA AND SOFT SUEDE.

Check out the new PLEATED RIBBON used on this card...love that stuff!  It is a great look without having to take the time to fuss with it.  The saying is from the TEENY TINY WISHES STAMP SET,

Have a great day!  Lori :)

Go Pack Go!

We are watching the Packers/Bears game right now............and we are cheering for the Packers!  Tom and I went to see the same two teams play in December 2009.  And the ending of that game was a good one....hoping that this game ends with a Packers win too!

This week is the start of the annual SALE-A-BRATION from Stampin' Up!  Spend $50  and get FREE product.  There are some great choices of new sets (in both wood and clear), paper pack, ribbon/buttons, digital downloads, and sets from the big book.

Here is a look at the set called BLISS.

 
And here is a great sample:

 
 
The colors in this project are ROSE RED, OLD OLIVE, BASIC GRAY.  Not something that I would put together on my own...but I really like this.  The COLOR COACH helps you put different combinations together.

• Notice the details on this card...
• EMBOSSING FOLDER for the textured look on the rose red piece
• Itty Bitty CLEAR Buttons with a tiny piece of colored cardstock under the botton.  I like to put the buttons on the project with the MINI GLUE DOTS.

Sale-a-bration starts on January 25th and goes until March 31st.

Have a great day!  Lori
