Amazing Life pop-up swing arm

Hi everyone! Today I am showing a card that I saw on some demonstrator websites. I thought I would try it out for myself.  I looked for one that I thought was the original but it is hard to figure out so I am going to credit Mitosu crafts because it was one I saw over and over again.  They had a super cute version that you can see here http://mitosustampin.blogspot.com/2019/02/so-hoppy-together-for-creating-kindness.html
I am using the Stitched Rectangle Framelits because, well because they are awesome and I love them.  When you purchase the framelits with the Amazing Life stamp set you get a 10% off discount.  The stamp set is really great, perfect for birthdays of course but also other occasions, weddings, showers, and more.  And it has a shamrock, so that makes me happy.

 Closed, the card looks like any other.....

... But as you open it, the swing arm pops out from behind the cake.
 Super cute.  Anyone would love to open this card,


I made a video, its kinda long, sorry.

Here are the die measurements that I used.














As I mention in the video, place an order in February (there's only one day left) and March and I will send you this cutting/scoring guide and card blank for this project so you can make some too! And, Sale-a-Bration is going on! So if your order is $50 you also get a FREE product from the Sale-a-Bration catalog! More when your order is more.

Spring is Comming...Right?

Hi everyone!  I am starting to plan some spring projects and as I was looking at stamp sets for springy looking images I came across a few that I thought I would highlight.   You may want to get a couple so that you are ready for spring too! And, right now, Sale-a-Bration is still going on, so with a $50 purchase, you would get a FREE product from the Sale-a-Bration offering.


This first set is called Fable Friends.  So cute! I love that little bunny. 

This is a super cute project with the bunny! love the carrot-ish treat holders!

I just love a stamp set with a punch, so this is great! I can see a lot of great uses for this set, including cards with movement-like a bunny popping out of a hat!















Here are some cute samples from the catalog. 

 His Grace is a very pretty set, perfect for Easter.

The catalog sample also uses a die cut from the Cross of Hope collection.

New Products Sneak Peek

 Hi everyone! I have some sneak peeks to share with you today! Beginning March 1st Stampin' Up! is releasing some new products!!  These new products are meant to go with some of the Sale-a-Bration offerings!  And to think I hand cut 12 cupcakes, with separate frosting, just a few weeks back.  These would have come in handy.  I love the dome, cut with acetate sheet or vellum! and the cake stand maybe in a silver foil? SO FUN!

 This set is meant to go with the Painted Seasons bundle.  I love that they gave us a couple of each of the leaves because you know we always want more than one of these!

 And the frogs!!  YAY! I love the from stamps and to be able to easily cut them out is just fantastic.  and of course we need that cute lily pad!

 This lily set was already gorgeous, but with dies it is even more perfect and I love that there are two sizes of labels.

 This punch is meant to go with the 'Part of my story' stamp set, but it will be a great punch to have and cut many sentiments from countless stamp sets.

And the stamp set is great with all of the stamps.  I love the addition of the pretty Easter, great for the lily stamps. There are a lot of sentiments for the frogs 'jumping in', 'hopping by', and 'jumping for joy'.  There are a couple stamps for the cupcake stamps and some for any set, like "Because adulting is hard".  I love the scripted Birthday. Christmas and New Year as well.

Be Mine Scrapbook page

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a scrapbook page! I haven't put the photos on it yet, I need to crop and print them, but I have some cute pictures of my daughter putting together her class valentine's and I think that is what I am going to put on these pages.
I have started to add a scrapbook page to my Card Buffet offering at the request of one of my stampers, and I am so glad she asked because it is helping me to get some of my pages done.  I started with Stampin' Up! as a scrapbooker! I joined to get a discount on all the colors of papers and ink because it would always seem that the perfect color for the page I was working on was the color I didn't have.  Isn't that always the way it goes?


This page uses Lovely Lipstick as the base, with Whisper White and touches of Flirty Flamingo.   I used dies from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.  These framelits are AWESOME!  They cut out hearts but so much more, you also get some scalloped outlines for the hearts and sweet stitching.  There is also a scallop edge die, and flower. 
















The 'Love' die is from the Sunshine Wishes dies, another great die set for scrapbooking because it has some great words useful for titles.
















The Designer Series paper is called 'All My Love' and it is super pretty and not just for Valentine's! There are some pretty floral papers and some graphic patterns too, very versatile.












If you live near me, check out a Card Buffet! Anyone can come, all supplies are provided and we just make cards and chat. And, now make scrapbook pages!!  I have 12 cards and two pages to choose from and you make just what you like.  Other demonstrators and their friends are also invited. Cost is $2.50 a card or 5 for $10. Pages are $5 each.  Need a 2 page spread, we can make one for an extra $3.00.

Flowering Desert

Hi Everyone!  Today I am sharing a card with a new-ish stamp set called Flowering Desert. I loved this set the minute I saw it because of the watercolor look to it, but also the whimsy of cacti.  I love that you can build different cactus plants and add flowers and build a pretty scene.  Although for this card I am just using the large cactus as a silhouette against a sunset sky.
As you may know, I love to watercolor, so I created this background with my Aqua Painters and some ink.
You can check out this process by watching this quick video.

The colors used here are Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Shaded Spruce, along with Basic Black.
I also used the new Stitched Rectangle Framelits, and I just can't get enough of these!! I think I have used them on 80% off the cards I have made since they came out!

Right now Sale-a-Bration is still going on, which means that you can pick a FREE Sale-a-Bration item for every $50 you spend.  Click here to see the selection.
