From the monthly archives: October 2012
Hi there! Hope you’re all having a wonderful Halloween! I made a card to share with you that fits a lot of challenges online this week. Sure fun to get some ideas from other places – my favorite are sketches and color challenges and I used BOTH on this card. I would’ve NEVER thought to put So Saffron & Daffodil Delight together, but I LOVED them together. I stamped the “Happy Halloween” from the hostess set Wacky Wishes randomly on my So Saffron card stock in Daffodil Delight ink and that really helped pull those two yellows together! I also did a challenge that meant that you had to include bling, so I took my Stampin’ Up! Basic Rhinestone Jewels and colored them with a permanent black marker. Another fun challenge requires you to use supplies that are more than 6 months old – mine were my neglected colors So Saffron and Tangerine Tango, as well as the Whisper White Baker’s Twine and all of the circle punches!
One other tip is about the Candy Corn – I made it with a Whisper White 1/2″ circle punch, Tangerine Tango 1″ circle punch, and Daffodil Delight 1-3/8″ circle punch, centered and layered together. Then you cut wedges to make the individual Candy Corn pieces! So so simple! I also rounded all 3 corners so they looked even more like Candy Corn. Then I put them on Dimensionals and popped them in my little jar! I just love the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and Cannery framelits in the Holiday Catalog!!! There are so so many things that aren’t even in the stamp set, that you can fill that little jar with! 🙂
I hope you enjoy this project, as well as the Quick Tip Tuesday on using your embossing folders without the Big Shot. Such a fun technique! Give it a try and send me a picture of your creation! If you use all Stampin’ Up! goodies, I’d love to feature you and your project here as a guest stamper!

MONDAY only from 12:00 AM (MT) and ending at 11:50 PM (MT)! (If you’re time zone challenged like me – seriously, I don’t know what’s up with that – it starts at 1 AM Central time and ends at 12:50 AM.)
ALL stamps in the current catalogs including: Background stamps, Personalized name stamps, Cookie press stamps, and Single stamps. Look below (or on my Promotions tab if you want to download the PDFs in their entirety) for images of the single stamps. Assortment 2 – the blue one – features 3 never before seen stamps! Keep in mind that these stamps are only available in clear-mount.
This DOES NOT include: Hostess sets, Bundled stamp sets, Digital stamp brush sets.
ALSO, remember that with every $50 order you place (before shipping & tax), you get a spot on my 50/50/50 board for a chance to win a $50 certificate!!! (There is no limit to the number of squares you earn, so if you order $100, you get 2 squares; $150, 3 squares and so on…)
Additionally, you can do this on any order type so feel free to click in my Online Store and put in your own order if you’d like. (I can also do this for you if you prefer!) You’ll get the hostess rewards if your order is $150 or more! Or I’m happy to put your order in with my own tomorrow evening as well – please get it to me by 10 pm by email at sarah@sarahlovestostamp.com or by phone at 816.341.0208!
I’m trying to reach a personal goal of 40 stamps sold so I want to give you an extra bonus for helping me to reach my goal! For EVERY stamp set (or unit – a single stamp counts as one too), you will get one raffle ticket into my Sell-A-Stamp Spooktacular drawing for a truly fabulous prize!!! (I’m thinking you get to pick your own Designer Series Paper – on me, of course – and I’ll make it into a fabulous crafting package with card stock & ribbon to match, as well as embellishments and some other goodies too!)
YAY! Can’t wait to see which of my favorites you all choose!!! 🙂 I know I’ll FOR SURE have to have that new Bold Snowflake single stamp that matches the Blossom Punch! LOVE THAT!

Hi there! My 5th and final video in my Big Shot series covering how to run all the different Sizzix items Stampin’ Up! offers through the Big Shot! Check out THIS playlist for the rest of the videos, as well as a few other videos that show how I used them on my projects. Let me know if you have questions on how to use the Big Shot after watching these videos!!!
Hi there! The video is long again – I swear I cannot make a short video to save my life! There are just so many things I want to tell each of you! Check it out! Hope it helps you in your rosette making – I know I struggled to push the center down before the magic secret I show in the vid! 🙂 See you tomorrow – hopefully with a new card!
I hope you enjoy today’s video! Embosslits are tiny but pack a lot of punch as they cut and emboss at the same time! I LOVE to use these on any of my projects! The perfect accent!
In other news, do any of you watch the X Factor? I’m loving the talent this season, especially that Tate Stevens! I was on the edge of my seat last night because he was in the third group, after the first gotten the good news and the second the bad. Man, I love that show!
Anyway, hope you’re all having a great week! If you haven’t signed up for my mailing list yet, get that done so you don’t miss out on the 2nd Week of Christmas, which will be out next Wednesday.
Today’s video is a long one as I ended up making the entire card on camera! I hope you enjoy it! I show a little bonus tip about how I add Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter to my projects as well. I’ll be back later today to edit this post with a full supply list, as well as a photo of the card I made in the video. I apologize that the video didn’t get posted until today – I didn’t notice (for a long time) that my YouTube upload had completely stalled out and I had to restart it! Sorry!
