SAYING GOODBYE TO HOLIDAYS AND HELLO TO OCCASIONS

Well it is time to get back to reality now that the holidays are over.  It has been a whirlwind making gifts, attending events, and celebrating.  But, even though it was busy, I had a great time making memories and doing a lot of crafting.  Today I'm saying goodbye to a favorite stamp that will be gone at midnight (your last chance to order), and saying hello to a few new stamp sets you can purchase later tomorrow from new Occasions Mini Catalog.  I hate saying goodbye to my favorites; but one thing we can always count on: there are always new and beautiful product around the corner from Stampin' Up!

I had to show you one more Christmas card -- just because he is cute!!

I am so sad the Wonderland Stamp Set is retiring after today.  Besides using the pine trees from this set, I used the Watercolor Wash Background Stamp.



Another sample using the Wonderland Stamp Set.  The background was stamped using the You've Got This Stamp Set.  I stamped the trees twice; first using my favorite green ink, Wild Wasabi, and then Garden Green.  I love this card!!

You can get this stamp set (Honeycomb Happiness) free with a $50 order, from the 2016 Sale-A-Bration Mini, starting tomorrow.

Buy the new Party Wishes Stamp Set, Party Punch Pack, It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack, Baker's Twine Combo Pack, and Card Stock to earn 2 free products from the Sale-A-Bration Mini!!

Until next time,
Sandi

JUNE RUBBERQUEEN MEETING

Last night was our June RubberQueen meeting.  So exciting seeing the new product and crafting ideas that the others designed.  Ronda created 5 cards using the new 2015-2017 In-Colors Ink, Cardstock, and Ribbon for our make'n takes and brought lots of samples from her swaps while in Hawaii with all the other demonstrators who won the 10-day dream vacation from Stampin' Up!  Here are the creations I made for the WOW table and my swap card:

My swap card featuring the new You've Got This Stamp Set, Watermelon Wonder Cardstock and Marker, Cucumber Crush Marker, and Neutrals Designer Series Paper Pack (Sahara Sand).

The inside.

For the WOW table I made 3 different-sized boxes using the new Gift Bag Punch Board.  This was the largest bag featuring the You've Got This and Sprinkles of Life (sentiment) Stamp Sets, the new Banner Triple Punch (punches 3 different banner widths -- love it!!), and Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and Marker.

This is the medium sized gift bag featuring the new Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set; Tree Builder Punch; Tip Top Taupe Ink; and Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder, and Mint Macaron Cardstock.

And my smallest gift bag featuring the new Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set and Watermelon Wonder Cardstock again.

Here are all three boxes together so you can get an idea of the size differences.

Until Next Time,
Sandi
