February.  Oh, February.  Where are you?  Does anyone know where February went?  I can not believe that today is the last day.  Does anyone else feel like it was a blur? 

I don't like to make sympathy cards, I don't think anyone does, but when I do, I want the card to be cheerful. The recipient is already going through so much, that I want to bring a little bit of sunshine into their day.   More importantly, I want them card to know that the card is filled with lots of love, hugs and prayers.    

I was playing around with the direction of the sentiment, and couldn't figure out which way I liked it best, so I ended up making two cards.  LOL  Isn't it amazing how a card can look so different, just by changing one thing!  Which one do you like the best?

When I was creating these cards. I wanted to use two of the Sale-A-Bration products.  The beautiful stamp set Heal Your Heart and the Flower and Field designer series paper.  I am really going to miss these products and will be keeping the Heal Your Heart stamp set on my shelf, so I can keep using it.  

Do you need to place an order today?

On Wednesday night I had my Pretty Perennial Class on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page.  It was so much fun!  I haven't done a Facebook live in a long time.  I didn't realize how much I missed it, until I was doing this one.  I am definitely going to be doing more of them.  

Creative fold cards are so fun to make!  I saw a card like this online, created by Peggy Noe, and loved how she used the Sunflower dies to cut out the big flowers and off set them.  I had to use it on this card.  I love how it turned out. 

This type of creative fold is called the gate fold.  

The measurements for this card are:

Cardstock:

Basic White Thick

• 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"

Night of Navy

• cut at 2 at 2" x 5 3/8"
• cut at 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Rococo Rose

• cut at 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Seaside Spray

• cut at 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Soft Sea Foam

• cut at 1/2" x 11"

Basic White

• cut at 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper

• cut 2 at 1 7/8" x 5 1/4"

I stepped out of my comfort zone on this card.  LOL  This time I off set the card stock and the designer series paper to create the background.  This is a simple  card that looks like it is difficult.  The best kind!

Anyone would love to get this birthday card in the mail!

The measurements for this card are:

Cardstock:

Basic White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Night of Navy

• cut at 3 3/4" x 5"
• scraps for flowers

Rococo Rose

• cut at 1/2" x 2"
• scraps for flowers

Seaside Spray

• scraps for flowers

Basic White

• cut at 2 1/2" x 4"

Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper

• cut at 3 3/4" x 5"

I have to say that I case'd (copy and share everything) this card created by Tina Gillespie.  I loved the simplicity of this card and wanted to make it just like she did. 

That is one of many things I love about Stampin' Up!  Everyone is so willing to share their ideas with everyone else.  I always tell people who want to make my projects that they are giving me the best compliment ever.  To have someone love your project so much they want to make it, it doesn't get much better than that.

The measurements for this card are:

Cardstock:

Night of Navy

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• cut at 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
• cut 2 at 2 1/2" x 3 3/4"

Basic White

• cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"
• cut at 2 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"

Here is the video of my Facebook live that I share with you how to make the above cards.

Thank you for stopping in today!  I hope you have a terrific Friday and weekend!

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we are showcasing products from the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  There are so many products that I love in the brochure, I had a hard time picking which one to showcase.  I ended up picking the Berry Blessings stamp set and Berry Delightful designer series paper.  

The Berry Delightful designer series paper is bright and cheerful, which I love.  In Ohio, during the months of January and February, we don't see the sun very often.  So, when I see bright and cheerful paper, it makes me happy!  

I really liked how this card came out, that I also used it to send to my customers who participated in my paper share for the new Stampin' Up! January-June mini catalog.  I have heard from a lot of the participants that they loved their card.  Yay!    

You will notice that I used a different sentiment on the card I sent to the participants.  I used the Sweet Strawberry stamp set in the mini catalog.  I love how Stampin' Up! coordinated some of the Sale-A-Bration products with products in the mini catalog.  It makes our products even more versatile.  How awesome is that?!

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 have been having so much fun creating projects to share with you.  As you all know, I love the beautiful Paper Blooms designer series paper in the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  I think it is because it coordinates with the Pretty Perennials stamp set in the mini catalog, which I also love.  

I saw a presentation by Dena Rekow, who helped design this stamp set for her $1,000,000 in sales, and loved it.  She had so many creative projects using this bundle.  

For my February online class, I am using this wonderful bundle, which includes the Pretty Perennials stamp set and Perennials Petals dies.  This class will be on Wednesday, February 16th at 6:30pm.  I am not sure if I am going to do it on FaceBook or Zoom yet.  We will be making 6 cards, 2 of three different designs, including envelopes.  The fee for this class is as follows:

Class including stamp set $39
Class including stamp set and dies $70
Priority shipping $8.50

We will only be using one ink color this time, Night of Navy.  

Please RSVP by February 8th with your class fee.  If you are paying with PayPal, please use FRIENDS AND FAMILY.  You can use either email, stampinscraper13@gmail.com or joycewhitman88@gmail.com.  

If you order the bundle and add another product for $5 or more, you can get the beautiful Paper Blooms designer series paper for FREE!  If you don't want that item, you can take your pick from the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  What a great deal!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Happy Stampin and

Every year I make a desk calendar to send out to my customers with their new catalogs.  This year, I used the beautiful Paper Blooms designer series paper from the Stampin' Up! 2021 Sale-A-Bration brochure.  The sentiment is from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set in the Stampin' Up! January - June mini catalog.  

This year I made two different colors, but they are from the same pack of designer series paper.  The above one is made with the Rococo Rose and Night of Navy colors.

This one is made with the Night of Navy and Old Olive colors.  I love how changing the colors makes a project look so different. 

Back in January of 2019 I did a Facebook live on how to make this calendar and a post it note holder I made to coordinate with the calendar.  Here is the video if you would like to watch it again. 

To get all the measurements and more details on how to make both of these projects go to my blog post below. 

Desk Calendar and Post It Note Holder 

My customers, family and friends have told me they love getting these calendars.  I love that, especially since I love them too!  They are so easy to make and they fit in an envelope we use to send our cards. This year I made 70 of them.  

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day and stopping by.  Have a wonderful day and the rest of your week.

Happy Stampin and
