This card was the favorite at my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack last month! I CASEd the main elements for this card from Jackie Bolhuis. So simple and beautiful with the Snow Flurry Die, Silver Glimmer Paper, and a simple greeting. This amazing die will not be available on our carry-over list during the Spring Catalog, so get it before our Holiday Catalog ends on January 2nd! I also used one of our Basics Glimmer Brads, as well as the Scallop Edge Punch (with the Silver Glimmer Paper) to give it even a little more bling! Be thinking ahead – our hostesses during Sale-A-Bration (from January 22, 2013 – March 22, 2013) will receive a package of the Silver Glimmer Paper as a little extra perk for hosting a party!
Be watching in early 2013 for several new additions to the Sarah Loves to Stamp offerings sure to be beloved by stampers and scrapbookers!

Hi there! Today is the FINAL day of the Online Extravaganza! If you haven’t taken advantage of the best sale Stampin’ Up! offers all year, you have just a few more hours until it closes at 11:50 pm Mountain Time. In the spirit of sharing cards made with products on the sale, here is a card we made last week at my Intro to Stamping Class! Super fun and cute! I love layering the little punches on top of the 1″ Square Punch (on sale) and then onto the Postage Stamp Punch! The smaller, simple note cards below this info use many of the same supplies, but do not use the stamp set, just the punches. These are going to be my Christmas thank yous that I send out to friends and family. For these cards, punch the smaller punch first (Merry Minis Punch Pack) and then it is much easier to center the larger one (1″ Square Punch) around it. I CASEd both the little thank yous, as well as the card above from the fantastic Julie Davison!!!
I used a favorite of mine, the Basic Rhinestone Jewels (30% off) yet again! The Gumball Green 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon is in a bundle with the Raspberry Ripple & Summer Starfruit (30% off too) for $18.81 – that’s 30 yards of ribbon total! That’s just under $0.63 per yard! WOW!

Hi there! Today I have another super cute card that we made at my Stamp-a-Stack this month! This one was CASEd from my dear, dear Canadian friend Desiree Spenst – although I think she said she had also CASEd it from someone else. Such is the stamping world!!! 🙂 Anyway, remember that our fabulous Online Extravaganza Sale lasts until Wednesday, November 28th – again, ending the sale with three 24 hour only deals! CLICK HERE to download the PDF and check out all of the spectacular deals!
I just love this little gingerbread boy and girl from the Scentsational Season stamp set in the Holiday Catalog! Remember that if you love them too, they are only available until January 2, 2013!!! To make the little boy, I tied a little bow with the Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine and put some of the Basic Rhinestone Jewels on for his buttons. They are on sale for only $3.47!!! I think I already ordered 4 packages to stock up!!! The little girl gingerbread’s bow is made with 2 of the tiny hearts from the Owl Builder Punch! Clever use, huh? 🙂 As I said, not my idea but BRILLIANT!!! I also used the Gumball Green ribbon that is on sale in the bundle, as well as the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack. I LOVE both of these items, but think it especially hard to see how awesome the Brights DSP Stack is! It includes 2 each of 2 double-sided designs in all 10 colors in the Brights Collection! LOVE it!!! All of the patterns are tone-on-tone and include: polka dots, stripes, a text pattern, and a fancier looking motif! So so so useful!!!

I just love this card that I CASEd for my Winter Stamp-a-Stack Class this past week, but I have NO idea who I got the idea from…sorry! So so so pretty!!! It uses a very simple color scheme and the beautiful Core’dinations card stock. I tell you what, putting it through the Big Shot in an embossing folder, then sanding with our Stampin’ Sanding Block to reveal that lighter core is like magic! Also, I think I didn’t quite re-ink my Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad enough, so when I stamped it was a bit blotchy. The Blender Pens are a quick fix when used with the ink you squeeze on the lid. I’ll make a video showing you what I mean very soon!
Come to Bethlehem is a favorite of mine and at 50% off the price cannot be beat! The Wood-Mount is normally $19.95, down to $9.98 and the Clear-Mount is normally $14.95, down to $7.48! WOW!

“But I’m not creative…” That short phrase is probably one I hear more than any other as a demonstrator! I hear it at classes I teach, at workshops, and in the community when I tell people what I do and say they can do it too! Creativity is a tricky thing – I understand not feeling creative! I know some of my peers have more creativity in their pinky finger than I do in my entire body. But I love doing what I do, so my response is always the same! You don’t have to be creative to create things and to enjoy the process!
This card is a GREAT example of that! I used a color combination from the Stampin’ Up! Color Coach #120148 (a GREAT tool – in fact I did a video on it a while ago that I will link HERE): Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi, and So Saffron!!! Gorgeous! This ended up being my favorite swap card I made for Stampin’ Up! Convention 2012! We also made this card shortly before I left for Convention in my Crazy about Techniques class as it uses the Faux Linen technique! This technique is an oldy but a goody!!! You use glossy card stock and sand it horizontally and vertically until the gloss is worn off, then sponge and stamp it and sand it more if you want until you get the desired result!!! LOVE IT! The layout is one I took from an old Mojo Monday challenge (I LOVE to print their monthly ones and then page through them when I’m creating – I rarely participate in a challenge in real time. I just found it and it was from Week 2 of Mojo Monday!!! Really really old!) I also LOVE the Field Flowers stamp set! (I do wish I had it in Wood-Mount though so I could make permanent vellum sheets to use with the Stamp-a-ma-jig!) And I used Teeny Tiny Wishes – my go-to stamp set as it includes every greeting I could need! (This card would be great for any occasion – just switch out the greeting!!!) I most always punch it out with the Word Window punch as I have here – super easy, cute and will fit anywhere on any card!!! I used another favorite of mine from SU! – background stamps!!! I LOVE them and they are a favorite of mine. I almost always make a card with either a background stamp or a background embossed with a Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Big Shot! Anyway enjoy!!! Let me know if you have any questions!!!
