I copied some favorite layouts with the new sets Celebrate Everything and Embrace Life.

I was dying to try Stampin’ Up! ribbon in the Taste of Home Entertaining ribbon plate.  Isn’t it gorgeous?  This is the Theater Ribbon (2 yards each of 5 varieties for only $12.95) .  We have other combinations of ribbon as well as wide grosgrain in several colors.  I can’t wait to try them all.

This is my favorite of the new sets that I preordered.  And it was a cinch to use the crayon resist technique.  Love that beautiful Ginger Blossoms paper too!  This was my make and take for both my January open house and my Erie demonstrator meeting.

1.  Stamp flowers in Basic Black on glossy Cardstock.

2.  Cover the blossoms only with white crayon.

3.  Brayer with River Rock ink.

4.  Wipe the wax off with a tissue.

5.  Mount panel to River Rock panel and then to your Cameo Coral card with strip of dp and Ruby Red CS.

I got my SAB preorder yesterday!  Sale-a-bration is Feb 1 - March 17 this year - so get ready to save!  But first some more samples from the new catalog.  I just love this cute new set.  Here’s a simple card with a bit of Prints Designer paper in Almost Amethyst.  I think I might add some more DP and Paper Piece the birds to make it extra cute.

Ok, I just couldn’t rest until those birds were pieced.  Don’t they look so much better now?

Well my new demonstrator website is up and running.  Let me know what you think - http://kwstamps.stampinup.net

Here is a very easy card with another new set featuring almost amethyst and the ticket corner punch.

I like this small version of the shadowbox/tunnel card because it fits in a standard invitation size envelope.    To see my larger sized card go here.

1.  Cut 2 pieces cardstock at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

2.  Score at 1/2 and 1 inch from both ends.

3.  Cut a coluzzle circle in the center of one piece.

4.  Adhere ends together, folding on score lines in opposite directions.

Supplies used:  A Beautiful Thing, punch box, Certainly Celery, SO Saffron, Perfect Plum

4.  I just updated my stamps for sale list - see above on the last Page tab.

This is an interesting card template that I like to use:

1.  Cut cardstock in half lengthwise (11 1/2 by 4 1/4). 

2.  Fold in half.  (Score first because you are folding against the grain).

3.  Score again 1/2 inch from the fold line.  This will be on the front of the card, forming the binding.

4.  Secure the binding with brads, eyelets and/or ribbon.

Here are 2 examples using the Time Well Spent and A Beautiful Thing sets with linen thread.
