Perfect Pairings samples, retiring In-colors

Hello Stampers!  Today I wanted to show you some samples made using the Perfect Pairings stamp set.  This has to be my favorite item of the Sale-a-bration products!  Not only does the set contain sentiments for the outside of your cards, but it also has stamps that pair with each sentiment for the inside of your cards!  Love this!

 The background of this card also has the Perfectly Artistic designer series paper on it.  Even though this item was available for a limited time, there is a supply left and is still available!

When you are ready to place an order, hop over to my Inkin With Dink online store and place your order today!

Don't forget that the 2014 - 2016 In-Colors are about to retire also!  Don't wait until the retiring list is out, because the items are typically gone and unavailable then!  Order them today while there is still some available!

 

What I Love & Flowering Fields samples

Hello Stampers!  Welcome back to my Sale-a-bration countdown showcase!  There are only two more days of Sale-a-bration left!  Today I'm going to share with you some samples using the What I Love stamp set and the Flowering Fields stamp set.

 I made this card using the What I Love stamp set.  This is another one of the 3-step sets.  Super easy to use and beautiful results!

 This card was made using the Flowering Fields stamp set.

Edit:  Sorry this is late!  Turns out you have to tell it to post, it doesn't just read my mine!!!

Hello Stampers!  Welcome back to my showcase of some of the Sale-a-bration items that will be gone in just 3 days!  That's right!  Sale-a-bration only lasts 3 more days!  

Today we are going to look at some samples using the Botanicals for You stamp set.

 We made this card at one of my monthly card classes.

I have to say that I really love this stamp set!  It is so easy to work with and embellish!

Honeycomb Happiness samples

Hello Stampers!  Did you know that Sale-a-bration is wrapping up?  That's right!  There are only 4 more days to get some products for FREE!  Over the next 4 days, I'm going to be showcasing some of the products that you can receive for FREE during this time.

Today we are going to be looking at the stamp set, Honeycomb Happiness.  

This is such an adorable set, and it coordinates with the Honeycomb Embellishments from the Occasions catalog.  The little chick image is cute for Easter, or any occasion.

 This is the Easter basket that we made at our February team meeting!

 This shows how you would mail the Honeycomb embellishments.  Simply adhere it unopened and then you could add a little note that they needed to open it up when they received it!

Thanks for checking these out!  Come back tomorrow and we will look at another item!

Happy Easter!

Hello Stampers!  Happy Easter!  I hope that you have all had a great day with family!

Even though my girls are getting older, I can't help but make some cute Easter things for them!  This year I was checking out Pinterest and found the cute Easter baskets made out of movie theater boxes of candy.  So, I decided to give it a try!

 They were super simple and turned out so cute. 

For each box I just used 4 boxes of candy and hot glued them to a piece of cardboard from one of our designer series paper packs.

Of course I had to make a cute tag too, so this is what I came up with:

 The bunny is made with the Friends & Flowers stamp set from the Occasions catalog and the coordinating Festive Flower Builder punch!

Sale-a-bration is almost over, so this week I will be featuring the Sale-a-bration products that are available!

Bunny Curvy Keepsake Box

Hello Stampers!  I have made another video for you!  This video is on making the Bunny Keepsake Box!  

 Isn't he adorable?  A couple of weeks ago I showed him and several other characters that I made out of the Stampin' Up! Curvy Keepsake Box Framelits.  I just love those!  

Here is the video showing how to make this adorable box:

Black & White Thoughts & Prayers

Hello Stampers!  Well it won't be long now until the next Stampin' Up! OnStage event!  This is the new name for our Convention.  Next month it will be held in Salt Lake City and I'm so excited to attend again!  This will be the first live event since they changed the format last year.

One thing that we love to do at Convention is swapping.  We all make tons of cards and take them and trade them with other demonstrators so that we bring home tons of samples!  It is so fun!  I like to sign up for organized swaps too.  That means we have a set group of people who get together at a certain time and location and swap with each other.  I have entered myself into a black & white swap again this year.  I have gotten such great cards at these in the past.

So now to the main point of this post.  I need your help!  For this certain swap that I joined, we were to make a black & white card with one additional color.  I have my card design picked out, I just can't decide on a color!  Can you help a stamper out?  Here are the one's I have come up with:

The extra colors are Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight, and Real Red.  PLEASE leave me a comment and let me know which one you like the best!

Thanks for your help!

Cardinals, but not stampers!

Hello Stampers!  Some of you who have been reading my blog for awhile know that the name of my team is Cardinal Stampers.  Well, I also love the Cardinals baseball team!  In fact, me and my husband just got back from a few days down in Florida for Spring Training.  

Since I'm always sharing pictures of my Cardinals team, I thought I would share some pictures of my Cardinals baseball team!

 Gotta love the Anheuser Bush Clydesdales!

 This was the view from our seats the first day.

 Here is me and my hubby out to dinner one night.  We loved all of the fresh seafood!

 Here is our view from the second day.

 As long as we were in Florida, we had to dip our toes in the sand!  We had to be very careful though because there was a Man-o-war warning!

 Our seats from the third day.

 That's a winner!  We won two of the three games we saw!

Thanks for stopping by!  Come back tomorrow and we will return to stamping!
