Stampin' Up's biggest sales event of the year! Four great Sale-A-Bration stamp sets plus Designer Series Paper, QuickAccents Pack, Ribbon & Button Pack, Digital Downloads and Decor Elements are all included in the Sale-A-Bration flyer from today through March 31, 2011.

Here's how it works:

Spend $50 (before tax and shipping) on any Stampin' Up! products and you will choose one free product from the brochure. If you spend $100, choose two items, etc. There is no limit. And, in addition to the new and temporarily available products shown in the brochure, you can substitute any one wood-mount stamp set of $14.95 or lesser value OR any one clear-mount stamp set of $11.95 or lesser value from the Idea Book & Catalog. So there are many options for your *free* items!

Place your order using my website any time. If you have any questions, please email me.

Here is what we made at my workshop last night. We had so much fun and I had a great group of ladies who know what they are doing and enjoyed playing with some of our new tools and the Filled With Love promotion items.

My card is an original design that I came up with while playing with the banner from our new Petal Cone Bigz Die. I scored it at 1" and 1.5", then turned it and scored at 1" and 1.5" again. Stamp the sentiment in the middle (some of us used the Stampa-ma-jig for perfect placement) and pop the banner up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The Scallop Trim Border punched accent behind the banner is done in Brushed Silver, so there is Glimmer from the red heart and Shimmer from the paper!

For this "sweet" box, we wrapped chocolate nuggets with 1" x 3" pieces of Love Impressions Specialty Designer Series Pack and then decorated it using two of the stamps from Filled With Love. The tag is made by stamping the "LOVE" sentiment in Real Red, then using Stampin' Write markers to color the Feb 14 in Real Red and Basic Black. Cut the "O" out using the 1" punch and you have what looks like those tags that are bordered with silver, but you made your own. You can stamp the "LOVE" in any color and have a border for small stamps. The box and the Basic Black cut out are form the Bigz Matchbox Die, which is new for me and I am LOVING it. Why didn't I get this earlier??

Light Up My Life

Isn't this sweet? I made a few of these and gave them out already. Two for my nieces--safe for them to have in their room, and one for my hairdresser--also safe to display in her shop.

Each vellum card stock window has the heart stamped in Versamark and embossed with Clear embossing powder. Then I colored over the entire design with a Real Red Stampin' Write marker. I wiped off the excess, which made the color stick only to the unembossed areas. Another option is to leave the embossing clear.

This is my favorite side because I like the grouping of pretty pearls.

I stuck a piece of (retired) Clear Tinsel behind the sentiment for a little sparkle.

I hope you enjoyed my luminaria. I used the same pattern that I got from Mary Fish in this post.

Sweet & Clear Valentine

Isn't this GORGEOUS?? My upline, Mary Fish, has a video class you can purchase to learn how to make this card.
