At Easter time, the Lindt Lamb and Chicks are my favorite candy. I love the taste of the chocolate, but I think I might love the wrapping on them more. LOL They are so cute! Wait a minute, it's chocolate, of course, I love that more!
Last night on my Facebook live I showed how to make these. They are so easy and fun to make.
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Flirty Flamingo/Granny Apple Green
cut at 4 1/4" x 7"
on 4 1/4" side score at 1"
on 7" side score at 2 1/4", 3 1/4", 5 1/2", 6 1/2"
Petal Pink
scrap for flowers
Whisper White
scrap for sentiment
Here is the video on how to make it:
In the video I said that I was using the Petal Pink cardstock for the flowers, however, that is incorrect. I used the Powder Pink cardstock.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are having a great week and a fabulous Wednesday!
Happy Stampin!

Only 14 more days of Sale-A-Bration! I can't believe how time is flying by. My mom always says that the older you get the faster time goes. Boy, is she right! The card I made to share with you today is using two Sale-A-Bration products. The first one is the Part of my Story stamp set along with the Botanical Butterfly designer series paper. You can get both of these FREE when you purchase either $50 or $100 in product.
All of you know how much I love butterflies, so, of course, I am in love with the Botanical Butterfly designer series paper. Stampin' Up! has really pretty designer series paper in all of their catalogs. I have been trying to use my paper lately instead of hoarding it. Are you the same as me, you don't want to cut it because it is too pretty. Isn't that why we bought it, because it is pretty, and we can make great projects with it? So, I am working on using my paper! How about you?
To make this card you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock:
Basic Black
cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
Balmy Blue
cut at 2 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Lemon Lime Twist
cut at 1 3/4" x 2 3/4"
Whisper White
cut at 1 3/4" x 2 3/4"
cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for the inside of the card
Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper
cut at 2" x 5 1/2"
I cut stamped the sentiment with Memento Ink and cut it out using the Layering Oval Framelits. I also popped it up with Stampin Dimensionals and added two Rhinestones to finish it off.
Reminder I will be doing my Facebook Live this week on Tuesday at 7:00pm.
It has been a while since I had made an eclipse card or used the Stampin' Up! Dragonfly Dreams stamp set. I taught my advanced card making class this technique and they loved it. It isn't a hard technique, it just takes a little more time to make. It is so worth the time!
I stamped the dragonflies with Memento ink and then colored them with the Dark Pool Party and Dark Night of Navy Blends markers. The more I use the blends markers the more I like, no, love them!
When the ink was dry on all of the dragonflies I added Wink of Stella to them. They needed that little bit of bling to really bring them to life. It is a lot easier to do it now, then later once the letters are cut out. You need to let them totally dry before you use the Large Letter framelits to cut out your letters.
To make this card you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock:
Balmy Blue
cut at 5 1/2" x8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
Whisper White
cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"
To make the letters really pop I used our Foam Adhesive Strips. They are the perfect width for these letters.
It's Friday!!! Yay! My retreat is getting closer to becoming a reality. I am going to check out a couple more places this weekend. I am hoping to have the location confirmed by the end of the month. Are you doing anything fun this weekend?
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you have an awesome Friday and weekend!
There you go!

I have been fighting a cold this last week and as I was sitting in my recliner thinking about what to make for my Facebook Live this week I saw my tissue box holder. I have been wanting to make a new one for a while and just haven't taken the time to do it. Now, was the perfect time! I knew I wanted to do a butterfly one for my stampin studio and have been also wanting to do one for Christmas. So, I made both!
I made my butterfly one first using the Botanical Butterfly designer series paper in the Sale-A-Bration brochure. I hadn't made one in a long time, so I needed to figure out how to make it again. The above picture is taken at an angle so you can see how I did the top of it.
The above tissue box holder is the one that I made on my Facebook Live on Monday night. I will be saving this one for Christmas time.
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock: (This is for the above picture)

cut at 6 5/8" x 6 5/8" this is for the top - score at 1" on all sides
cut at 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" for the top

Here is my Facebook Live video to show you how to put it together.
I hope this video gives you inspiration to go and make your own tissue box covers to match your decor in your home using our designer series paper.
Thank you so much for stopping in today! I hope you have a terrific day!
There you go!

I love making One Sheet Wonder projects. When I have done them in the past I have always used the 12" x 12" pieces of designer series paper. At my One Sheet Wonder class last month we used the Tropical Escape suite in the Stampin' Up! 2018-2019 annual catalog. This time it was different as we used the Tropical Escape 6" x 6" designer series paper.
The above picture is one group of cards that we made with one piece of designer series paper. For this class we used 4 sheets of the Tropical Escape paper pack. Here is a picture of 3 more cards we made with 2 different sheets of designer series paper.
I did use some other stamp sets, from the Sale-A-Bration brochure and the occasions catalog. Here are the last three cards that we made. This time I used the Note Cards and Envelopes in the annual catalog on the two pink cards.
The ladies at my class really enjoyed the cards that they made. It was a fun time with friends, creating projects, laughing and just enjoying each other.
Over the weekend Mr. Wonderful, Erica and myself went to a Pittsburg Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game. It was a lot of fun. Erica posted these pictures from Saturday night. I wasn't feeling the greatest (I have been fighting a cold for the last couple of days), so I didn't take any pictures.
Did you do anything fun over the weekend?
I have a great project to share with you tonight. I hope you can join me!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful Monday and week!

I love that Stampin' Up! has such wonderful products in the Sale-A-Bration brochure this year. They have been very popular. However, with the products being popular, that also means they are in high demand. Some of the products have already sold out. Here is a complete list of the items sold out for Sale-A-Bration:
Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack
Butterfly Elements
Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets
Precious Parcel Card Kit
Sale-A-Bration Coordination:
Hop Along Framelit Dies
If there are any products that you are wanting from Sale-A-Bration or from Sale-A-Bration Coordination, I highly recommend that you order them now and not to wait. In March, things from both of these promotions are going to go fast.
This is also when I start telling everyone to order what you really want from the occasions catalog and annual catalog this month. In April the retirement list for the occasions and annual catalog will come out and then the retiring products will be available while supplies last. The stamp sets will still be produced until sometime in May, but everything else, will not.
This is also when the ribbon, ink, paper and markers will be retired for the 2017-2019 In Colors. The colors are:
I am going to be sad when these colors retire, but am excited to see what the new colors will be!
Don't forget to use the hostess code so you get a gift from me!
Do you have any exciting plans for this weekend? I have my Fun and Easy Technique class tonight and then Mr. Wonderful, Erica and myself are going to a hockey game. We love hockey in our home. It will be a great time. I am really excited to get a favorite snack at the game. Can you guess what it is? It is a heart attack on a stick, but oh, so, good! LOL It is bacon on a stick! It is so yummy!
I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Thank you for taking the time to stop by today.
Happy Stampin!

Erica's boyfriend, Nick, needed some thank you cards and asked me to make some for him. I saw this card on Pinterest, created by BJ Peters, and thought it would be perfect. Thank you BJ for sharing your beautiful card.
I love how simple this card was to make and how it looks. Nick was very pleased with the end result and that is all that matters.
To make this card you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Here is the Facebook Live that I did on how to make this card.
As you can see this is a very easy card to make. You could change it to a birthday card by using the Happy Birthday thinlits instead of the Thank You.
I have some wonderful news to share with you today!!!
The Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack in the Sale-A-Bration flyer is now available. This is while supplies last!! If you want this as one of your FREE products when you order $50, you need to place an order as soon a possible. Don't forget to use the hostess code for a gift from me if you order over $50.
Last weekend I went to the Stampin Sisters Retreat in Rockford IL. We had such a great time. I went with two of my good friends, Beth and Mary. This was Mary's first time and she loved it too! We are definitely going back again next year. Actually, I loved it so much that I am going to be having my first retreat in September. It will be a one day retreat, I want to work up to a weekend retreat, that is going to be packed with fun projects and goodies. Watch out for more details.
This is a picture of all of us. There were 95 of us!
This is a picture of my tablemates, Beth, Mary, myself and Kim. It was so wonderful meeting Kim and spending time with her.
When Beth and I went last year, Margie and Maxine were our tablemates. They are so fun and loved seeing them again. We were lucky to have them sititing at the table next to us. So, we still got to spend some time with them.
This is a good picture of Mary and I. We took so many, because we couldn't stop laughing. We had the same shirt, this was planned, and the same glasses. That was not planned!
I love this picture of us! We were laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes.
Here is a picture of Beth and I on the last day. It was so wonderful spending time with her, she lives almost 10 hours from me. I am hoping to see her again soon.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous Wednesday!

I had the sweet cups from theHow Sweet It Is suite in the occasions catalog since the catalog came out. I totally forgot about them. Oops! I was looking for something different to make my ladies who were attending my Tropical Escape One Sheet Wonder Class as their thank you gift. At every class I make a little something for the attendees as my thank you for joining me.
At first I was going to wrap the cup with cardstock, but didn't really have the time to do that. I need something that was easy, fast and looked great. This is what I came up with.
To make this project you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock:
Blushing Bride
scrap for a 1 3/4" circle
Shaded Spruce
scrap for a 2" circle
Whisper White
scrap for flower
Tropical Escape 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
cut at 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
I cut the designer series paper with the 3" scalloped circle from the Layering Circle Framelits. I stamped the sentiment from the Tropical Chic stamp set with Shaded Spruce ink on the Blushing Bride circle. For the flower I stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock using the Blushing Bride ink and then I used a sponge dauber and added a little bit of Flirty Flamingo ink in the center of the flower. I added the black lines and dots with the Black Stampin Write marker. To finish off this project I added Rhinestones to the sentiment piece.
I was at the Stampin Sisters Retreat over the weekend and had a fabulous time! I got back late last night, so I am a little tired today. I am going to be doing something very exciting today though. I am going to go and check out a place to have a Holiday Extravaganza event. It is going to be an all day event where we will be making projects from the new holiday catalog. I can't wait! I have been talking about doing this for some time and I decided I am just going to do it. No more talking about it.
I will keep you up to date on what is going on with all of it. I have so many ideas going through my head right now.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day! It is very cold here in Ohio, at least the sun is out, so stay warm!

I have been wanting to do a retreat for a while and am now really going to do it!
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!
I have never made a Triangle Fun Fold card before. It was so much fun! I loved it so much, that I did a Facebook Live on it. The video is further down this post. I used the beautiful Floral Romance Specialty designer series paper from the occasions catalog and the Colorful Seasons stamp set from the annual catalog. I love how you can use products from both catalogs and the coordinate.
In my video you will see how I changed up the whole card. I used the new Painted Seasons designer series paper and stamp set from the 2nd release of Sale-A-Bration.
To make this card you will need the following paper. For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.
Cardstock:
Mossy Meadow

I used the coordinating Frosted Flowers Embellishments for the little flower by the sentiment.
