I have been wanting to make one of these signs for a while and when a customer asked me to do a class on it, I said, "Absolutely"! I held the class last weekend and it was a huge hit! It was so popular that I am offering it again. I will let you know that I did use some retired product in this project.
I bought the frame at Michael's and it is the perfect size (6" x 12"). Some of the ladies did it the direction I did and some made it the horizontal direction. Both of them came out so cute!
For the backing on the sign I used Whisper White thick cardstock. Above picture shows how to mark it.
Here are pictures of each of the designs.
January - snowfall thinlits, February - heart punch, grapefruit grove/lovely lipstick foils sheets, March - small heart punch, April - daisy and leaf punch, clear faceted gems.
May - butterfly and bold butterfly thinlits and needlepoint nook desginer series paper, June - seasonal layers thinlits, July - star punches, August - frozen treats framelits
September - oval and leaf punch (you could use oval framelits), October - cauldron framelits and toil and trouble designer series paper, November - nature's roots framelits and leaf punch, December - in the woods framelits and metallic pearls
Here is a video where I show you all the pieces and explained them more.
On the video I forgot to show you the box I made for each of the ladies to store the other pieces in.
The Stampin' Up! pizza boxes (which are one of the Sale-A-Bration products and in the annual catalog) are the perfect size to hold all of the different "O" for your sign. I used all the 2017-2019 In Colors as they are going to be retiring in April. If you would like any of these colors, the paper, ink, markers and ribbon, I highly recommend you get them now. Here are the colors:
I am really going to miss these colors. I am excited to see the new ones though! Are you?

I want to apologize for the delay in getting my blog post out today. I was already to edit my pictures and realized the background I used for the individual months was too distracting and the lighting was awful. So, I had to wait until this morning to take new pictures. Then I had to wait until nap time so I could edit and get them added to my post. These littles ones just didn't want to get their picture taken today. LOL Thank you for your patience.

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.

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.
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.

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 am so happy that you are joining us for our blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrator from around the world who are Hoppin’ With Exciting Ideas to share with you. Today we will feature products from the 2019 Occasions Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I know you will find a lot of wonderful ideas that are shared today!
For this blog hop I made a card using quite a few products from the Occasions catalog. I started out with knowing that I wanted to use the Rectangle Stitched Framelits that are part of the Amazing Life bundle. I then wanted to use my favorite designer series paper in the Occasions catalog, All My Love. Another product that I have been using a lot in my Valentine's Day projects is the Be Mine Stitched Edgelits. The edgelits have a coordinating stamp set, Meant To Be, which I also used on this card for the sentiment. What I love about these two products, is you can get them in a bundle and save 10%!
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.

Lovely Lipstick
cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

All My Love Designer Series Paper

Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets
cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Have you seen the Lovely Lipstick foil paper from the 2019 Sale-A-Bration brochure? I love it!!! I have been using it a lot in my projects lately, so of course, I had to add it to this project too. Do you see the little heart by the sentiment? I was using one of the pieces in the Be Mine edgelits (the one with all the hearts connected together) and all these little hearts came falling out when I picked it up. I had an ah ha moment and knew I wanted to add one of them to this project somewhere.
This was a fun and easy card to make that anyone would love to get on Valentine's Day!

Last night I did a Facebook live on how to do the Block Fill Technique. When I first saw a card like this on Facebook, created by Felicity Fernandez, I thought it was stunning. At first I couldn't figure out how she made it. It looked difficult. Then I went looking to see how it was done and oh my goodness! It is not difficult at all!
I love making projects that look like they are hard or time consuming and really they are easy. Then, I love teaching people how to create the project for themselves.

I always make the host of my workshops a thank you gift for allowing me to share Stampin' Up! products with them and their friends. My last hostess Stacy, had a Valentine's workshop, which was so much fun. As my thank you gift, I made her a Tea Tin decorated with the beautiful All My Love designer series paper.
I wanted to make a gift that she could use again. She could put tea bags, little 3 x 3 note cards, candy (which I did) or what ever else she wanted to use. I wanted to put a little bit of shine on this, so I used the Lovely Lipstick foil sheets that are in the Sale-A-Bration brochure. You can earn them FREE when you purchase $50 or $100 from now until March 31st.
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.
All My Love Designer Series Paper
cut at 3 1/8" x 12"
Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets
cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
To adhere the designer series paper I used Tear and Tape as I wanted to make sure that it stayed in place.
On top of the tin I made a triple loop bow with the Lovely Lipstick ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack in the occasions catalog. I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the scalloped heart and Stampin Dimensionals on the solid heart.
I filled up the tin with the delicious Hershey hearts that are filled with a strawberry filling. When you open the bag, the smell of strawberries is so fresh! Yes, I have sampled these. I don't want to give my hostess bad candy. LOL
Can you believe it is Monday already? I am not sure where the weekend went. Thank you for taking time out of your day to stop by. I hope you have a terrific day!

Today I have an easy and elegant Valentine's Day card to share with you. The color combination of Lovely Lipstick, black and white colors are so striking. A while ago I saw a layout like this on Pinterest and fell in love with the clean look of it. The Lovely Lipstick foil sheets in the Sale-A-Bration brochure is so pretty! It is hard to get a good picture of the foil sheets, but trust me, it is gorgeous!
For the banner and circles behind the hearts, I used the Botanical Butterfly designer series paper, which is also in the Sale-A-Bration brochure. You can earn both of these products for FREE when you purchase $50 or $100 in product during Sale-A-Bration. I love butterflies, so of course, I love this paper. What else I love is the different patterned paper in this paper pack. I have used the checked and polka dot paper a lot on different projects. Here is a picture of the different patterns in the paper pack.
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.

Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper

I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up each of the hearts, all the other pieces I used Snail adhesive. On the inside of the card I stamped Happy Valentine's Day from the Meant To Be stamp set.

Do you need a fast easy birthday card? I have one for you! This card is perfect if you need to do a lot at a time or need one in a hurry. I used the Lasting Lily stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration brochure and the Amazing Life in the Occasions catalog.
Have you tried our DisINKtive stamps? The Lasting Lily stamp set is one of those stamps. DisINKtive stamps give you different shades on your stamped image. I stamped the lily one time and you can see how there are darker and lighter shades of color. One thing you want to make sure when you use these stamps is that your ink pad is not real wet. If it is, take a spoon and push the ink on your stamp pad to one side. Ink up your stamp on the section that you have pushed the ink off of. When you are finished, you can use the spoon to push the ink back.
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:
Whisper White Thick
cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
Berry Burst
2 3/4" x 4 1/4"
Mossy Meadow
cut at 5/8" x 3"
Whisper White
cut at 2 1/2" x 4"
cut at 1/2" x 3"
I popped up the Berry Burst layer and the banner with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Wow! What a busy, but fun weekend! I had class on Friday night and Sunday afternoon, moved Erica on Saturday, got to spend time with family yesterday and finally got to go to church after two weeks because of weather. My heart is so full this morning! Thank you God for so many blessings this weekend!
I hope you have a great week and thank you for stopping by today!
Happy Stampin!
