 It's February.. and you know what that means..

 

Valentine's day is almost upon us!

Polka dot Twisty Treat Bags are a fun way to give a little "I Love You" treat bag on Valentine's Day or anyday! 

Did you know that you can select a package of 12 polka dot printed  bags with tags and twist ties as one of your FREE Sale a Bration gifts?

I made the tag with Whisper White cardstock, punched with the AAAAMAZING scalloped tag topper punch then embossed with the Arrows Texture Impressions Embossing Folder (pg 26 in the Occasions Catalog).  I decorated it with the i {heart} you die cut from the Label Card Thinlit set, and some sweet Real Red wavy paper from the Fresh Prints paper stack.

The blue twine is from the FREE Sale a Bration Sweet Sorbet accessory pack.

How about some cute Valentine cards for friends... and the bonus is, they are quick and easy!

Just cut the Fresh Prints Designer Paper at 4-1/2" x 2-3/4" and attach it to the cute Sweet Sayings card, then add some In Color 3/8" stretch ruffle trim with Sticky Strip.  Finish it off with a heart stamped and die cut with the Heart Framelits, and a cute Hello Friend greeting!  (stamp sets and supplies listed at the bottom of this post).

I still have a few more sets of photos to share with you from my trip to St. George, UT and the 2013 Stampin' Up! Founder's Circle Retreat.

I was just delighted with these 2 CUTE CUTE Halloween samples!

The card was made by Linda Gutierez and the Lollipop treat was made by Sandy Hancock.

This fun Halloween card is created with the fun Circle Thinlit card die - SO EASY... cut your cardstock to 5-1/2" x 6" and the thinlit die does the rest of the work for you! WATCH MY VIDEO here for more info.

Create the adorable owl and ghost with the Owl Builder Punch!  See it on pg 183 in the current catalog or SHOP ONLINE for the Owl Builder Punch.

This fun Lollipop treat is quickly put together with 2 die cut shapes scored and folded to create one larger shape.  Use the Apothecary Accents framelit die for this project.

Thank you to Linda and Sandy for these cute Halloween Treat samples!

Meeting Projects part 2

{{For projects #1 and #2, see THIS POST with photos and a video}}

Our Luv 2 Stamp Group had an amazing time on Saturday, August 17 at our quarterly gathering, to swap cards, stamp, chat, share business ideas, and CELEBRATE achievements!

I will have several blog posts for you wrapping up our event, but wanted to share a couple of the Make & Take projects in this post.

We used the Window Gift Boxes (132146) with the Pretty Presents Tags (132179) and Designer Bows (132196) for this fun giftable project.

Meeting participants had their choice of using the Pretty Presents Bows (already die cut printed bows) or, cutting their own bows out with the Gift Bow Die (129977) and the Season of Style DSP (132340),

 You can VIEW THE VIDEO for these projects HERE on my blog.

 Our 4th project at the meeting was this FLIP CARD using the new Thinlit Circle Card die cut in the Big Shot.  This card was a huge hit!! 

You can view a video on these amazing FLIP CARDS HERE.

See below for a tip on placing your Designer Series Paper on the cardstock BEFORE cutting it in the Big Shot.

VIDEO TUTORIAL below! :)

My baby brother is a Grandpa!! WHAT? Yep! For real!

Our nephew and his darling wife just had a baby girl, so I had to make them a card!  Since these new Thinlit Flip Cards are much cuter "in person" I shot a quick video to show you the 2 cards IN ACTION.  Remember when they got married, I made them a cute MDS Printer Tray frame?  You can SEE IT HERE.

 

(important.. if you are viewing this in an email feed, you'll need to visit my blog to see the video)

SEE THIS VIDEO for instructions for making the extended flip card like this one

I made a card for my nephew and his wife and another card for my brother and his wife.

One thing that is so great about these cards is that the 2-1/2" circle punch works perfectly with the circle portion of this new die!

I used Pink Pirouette cardstock (#111351) and some pieces from a retired Stampin' Up! simply scrappin' kit.
