I wish that you could have seen me this morning…(even though I typed this last night) I was already envisioning today as I am super excited for the DOUBLE WHAMMY we have going on today with Stampin’ Up!
1st – The new Occasions Catalog…..YIPPEE ~ grab that cup of coffee…perhaps take a break from work…just enjoy with some “me time” to view this beauty!
2nd – The Sale-A-Bration Catalog – YIPPEE-SKIPPEE as you get a free gift for every $50.00 you spend…..spend 58.00, you pick 1…spend $102.00, you pick 2 – this is FUN!!!!
This is a very exciting time and one that we always look forward to. If you are new to Stampin’ Up! and this is your 1st time experiencing Sale~A~Bration…WELCOME and HAVE FUN!
It is super exciting to be able to earn these free products while shopping away! Many of you wait for this time of the year to stock up on basics that you use throughout the year – SMART SHOPPER!
This is the card that I will send to you this month with a $35.00 order or more with me. If I were you….I would definately bump up the order to $50.00 so you can get a FREE SAB gift (plus you will earn 2 Paw Prints from me) Enjoy these pictures of this super sweet card!
I love this Bundle and YES – I would purchase it as a bundle as you will save an instant 15% and we all love our punches….a clear stamp set…a new punch, LIFE IS GOOD!
This was a super fun card to make…I knew that I wanted a bunch of white space and I also knew that I wanted to watercolor a bit so you card see 1st hand that it is super easy to do. When you get this card in person, you will smile and then I know you will say….I think I could do that!
I did not use watercolor paper, I used the heavy weight white card stock. This works fine when you are lightly using the aqua painter like I did here today! The DSP Liner, YEP – this is a FREEBIE from the Sale`a`bration catalog – lots of FUN and peppy prints that will make you so excited for Spring!
Every month I also offer a freebie on top of the above card with a purchase of $75.00 or more….and this month it is……Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Pen in the clear! This is SUPER EXCITING that Stampin’ Up! has picked up these brush tip gems!
They are sooooo subtle yet soooooo easy to use! You will be amazed at how easy and effective they are to work with! By now you know that I am not much of a glittler or glitz person, but these pens – YEP……KEEPER….MUST HAVES!
To take advantage of the goodies, please use the Hostess Code of 3RPTW7MB
(it is always in the upper corner of my new blog)
Feel free to email me if you have any questions and please remember, if your order is near $99.00, be the super smart shopper and get the kit….I would love to see you be able to get a bigger bang for your buck! It is really that easy!
p.s. – I have order the clear blocks that were your freebie in December….when they get here, I will mail them to you with your card! As always, thanks for your support…I love what I do because of you!

This time tomorrow is a time that we have been patiently waiting for…The NEW Occasions Catalog and also the kick off of Sale-A-Bration! I know that you have been teased long enough with seeing “sneak peeks” of great projects from the upcoming catalog but tomorrow your wait is over!
Please remember that TODAY is the last day for you to order from the Holiday Catalog….(I think the 3 stamp sets that I am saddest about leaving are the Lighthearted Leaves , Peaceful Wreath and Versatile Christmas! To me, these are classics and you bet that they will NOT be leaving Randall Lane! Also, do not forget about the Red Envelope Paper…it is a total keeper and a great value for not only Christmas Card liners but also for Valentines Day!
If you are ordering today, Please use this Hostess Code – 3RPTW7MB….tomorrow you will see the goodies that I am offering for this months orders!
Trust me, I am as excited as you are and with the NEW catalog also comes the BEST TIME OF THE YEAR with Stampin’ Up! – It is Sale-A-Bration! I wanted to share with you some quick nuggets about Sale-A-Bration as I can remember when I was a customer and was new to Stampin’ Up! I had no idea why in the world the ladies at the Stamp Club were so excited!
- During the Sale-A-Bration time (January 5th – March 31st) for every increment of $50.00 you spend, you will be able to pick a FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. (That will go live tomorrow as well)…there are stamp sets, DSP papers, a vellum offering, a project life offering…YIPPEE – FREE stuff! 🙂
- During the Sale-A-Bration time (January 5th – March 31st) if you are a host (either have an event with me or want your own hostess code to have a cyber party), and your event is over $250.00 than you will receive an additional $25.00 more in Stampin Rewards…YIPPEE again! 🙂 🙂
- During the Sale-A-Bration time (January 5th – March 31st) if you hit the SMART TAG BUTTON and decide that starter kit…the one that YOU CREATE…WHAT???? – During Sale-A-Bration, you can get an additional $30.00 worth of product for free. YEP….that’s right, it your order is remotely “up there” (you know what I mean)….the best advice I can give you is to get the kit….you can pick $155.00 worth of product (anything….YEP, the NEW stuff) and only pay $99.00 and it ships for free…here is is again, YIPPEE – a HUGE YIPPEE!– 😆 😆 😆
That is $56.00 worth of FREE STUFF plus you will save $15.00 in Shipping = $71.00 savings!
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about how easy it really is….honestly, I think that there are many that think there is this HUGE commitment that you are going to be “hounded to do things” but it is not that at all – no strings attached…just a great opportunity for a great deal. Period. SImple.Done!
Here is a video that shows you up close the Product Shares that I am offering. I will be ordering with the chickens tomorrow as I do not want any potential “back order demons” to get me (or YOU) so please email me and put in the subject line Product Shares so I can spot it.
I will be doing a 2nd wave of a product share later in the month but I would not wait as trust me, it is not only a busy time with the new catalog, I do not want any potential back orders to make you sad! 😥
Enjoy the day…it is the 1st Monday of the New Year….(this Holiday mode has me all confused with what day it is) but one thing that is for sure….we all know what tomorrow is…..THE UNVEILING OF THE NEW CATALOG!!!

Good Morning and here you go….a stepped up versions from yesterdays card…still simple…still clean with minimal changes that make the card have a bit of a different feel but to me, you can not go wrong with either one.
I am one that LOVES white…white space is your friend in making cards…BUT….I hope that you can see that today’s card still has a bunch of white space but I added the mat of the Bermuda Bay to help POP the vases but more specifically, I wanted to let the liner shine!
I love the paper stacks as they always allow us to have a simple element of fun that will pull a project together as all of our papers and inks color coordinate together. I just love it when you do not have to think too hard and the end result will be a smile for someone!
You can see on the above photo that the Bermuda Bay mat sets off the vases but the FUN is the new enamel accents called It’s My Party Enamel Dots and they are in the colors of Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Mint Macaroon. This little accent if fun, shiny, modern and just plain fun!
The other difference from yesterday is that I used dimensionals today and yesterday I just adhered the white mat on the cards base. Again, it all comes down to time – you really could not go wrong with either one!
Today I decided to stamp the front of the envelope as well as adhere the vase down. I used the green glue and I have not found that they come off in the mail. If you are concerned, ask your post office to hand stamp it so it will not go through the machine and you will be good to go!
This card can be made with so many of our DSP’s….just remember that smaller prints work the best! Heck, you could use the same color scheme using the DSP Paper Stacks and use different prints….BINGO – DONE!
Well…thoughts? Do you have a favorite? I hope that this shows you haw a single simple stamp can make a fun and fabulous card that anyone would be super proud to receive….and the best thing….they will feel better sooner because of you!
Here you so with the dimensions! Both cards this weekend were made with the MUST HAVE Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes. The colors that I used with the Aqua painter to accent the flowers were the same for both days, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz.
Saturday’s Card:
- The White Mat on the note card was 4 3/4″ X 3 1/4″
Sunday’s Card:
- The Bermuda Bay was 4 3/4″ X 3 1/4″
- The White Mat is 4 1/2″ X 3″

YIPPEE SKIPPEE….we are starting off the New Year with a Simple Saturday post for you!
For those of you that are not familiar with my weekend posts, here is the scoop!
Simple Saturday = I will share with you a card that is just that….SIMPLE!
Step it Up Sunday = The card from Saturday with some “stepped up elements”
You all have seemed to enjoy these 2 day post so I say….why not keep them! I know that you have seen this type of card before from me, but today I am showcasing a new sentiment from a sentiment stamp set that will be available starting Tuesday, January 5th.
I love it….I know that there are some quirky sayings….but I think that they are FUN and the font…..YEP, a keeper! It is called Greatest Greetings!
Sentiment stamps sets are your friends. Quick, simple and fun sentiments like these are just the perfect added accent for your cards! I admit, I have been cutting paper for paper swatches and there are little scraps that sometimes I just can’t find it in me to purge! So…the moral of the story is that I am putting them to great use!
When I find a card like this I make a bunch of them…WHY? I say why not – it is great to have a stash ready when you need one.
The scraps I used were from the Have a Cuppa paper 6 X 6 stack. I simply stamped the image that I needed on the little scrap of paper and then did a quick fussy cut.
This is really super easy to do and I used the green glue to adhere them. Remember, If you are worried that you will have oozing…just put the glue down and let it set up before you add the paper!
Yep, I did use the Stamp-a-ma-jig as I love it and I find it to be the perfect tool when your stamp set is not a photpolymer one. You can see in the picture below that this stamp has a sentiment on it already….no worries, mask it off!
This is a great stamp and being that it is a single stamp, it is a great value. Just think of all of the different sentiments that you could use! I have used this sooooooo much that I feel like I need to pay Stampin’ Up! as wow – a great value! I have used it for birthdays, think of yous, get well, anniversary etc…..
For the flowers, I used the aqua painters….darn, I hope that you start using them – they really are a great tool and I know that I realize that many of you are still apprehensive about them but JUST GO FOR IT! Just grab a paper towel, squeeze the ink pad and grab some ink and HAVE FUN!
Remember…a great finishing touch and a touch that one ALWAYS ADMIRES AND APPRECIATES….a lined envelope! Today I am using the envelope liner framelits with a piece of Bermuda Bay Dots from the Paper Stack! I adore these stacks and I realize that they are $$$$$$ for you to get all of the collections, this is why that I have them on my product share…..they are amazing as they compliment our DSP papers!
Well…there you go….the 1st of the year and I hope that you like it! Pop back tomorrow for the stepped up version as well as the dimensions for the cards this weekend! I love it and I know that you would surely make someone smile with it!
My heart and “joy tank” was filled to the max with your comments from yesterdays post. I deeply appreciate you taking your time to read such a long post but I do hope you know that this is a GREAT thing that we do!
I know that you enjoy the “fur babies” – look who I found…..little “Mr. Perfect” – he is simply the best! It was funny – I woke up in the middle of the night and he was not in our bed…..I woke John up…he worried – he went outside….he came in and said – he will be fine…I still worried…..then I went searching…..YEP, snug as a bug in a rug with Hannah…..sorry for the bad picture but I just couldn’t resist sharing!
