Sea Street Thank-You

Ever since I saw the Sea Street stamp set in the Demonstrator Preview of the 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue I fell in love! I had planned to make Gabriel's 2nd Birthday a Nautical themed party and use the sea street stamp set and maritime designer series paper, but unfortunately my mom had her accident and a big, fully decorated birthday was out of the question.

But his year, with my mom home safe and sound and not one but TWO birthday parties to plan, I am going to use them for sure! Gabriel is having a construction themed party (because he is turning 3 and he is totally into that right now) but Thatcher is going to have a Nautical themed party because I still think it is so cute, and he's turning 1 and doesn't have much of an opinion on these things, so I get to choose.

 

Ingredients

Stamps: Sea Street

Ink: Coastal Cabana, Rea; Red

Paper: Night of Navy, Maritime DSP, Whisper White

Accessories: 1 1/4 inch circle punch, 1 inch circle punch

 

Sweet but simple, and bonus, it can be used for a man! This is always something I have trouble with, and I know others do too so I hope this helps!

 

Happy Stamping,

Lotus Blossom

My boys were cooperative this weekend and allowed me a tiny bit of time to play with some of my new freebies from sale-a-bration! One set I really enjoyed was Lotus Blossom. This was a set I wasn't particularly sold on at first (not my usual style) but after many aimless productive hours on Pinterest, I changed my mind, and I am glad I did! 

In case you don't already know, Lotus Blossom is two (or three) step stamping process. It's super easy, the stamp set comes labelled with numbers (which piece to stamp first) and you only need one or two colours, you just stamp off on scrap paper to get the different look. 

Ingredients

Stamps: Lotus Blossom (FREE with any qualifying order during sale-a-bration)

Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow

Paper: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Best Year Ever DSP (FREE with any qualifying order during sale-a-bration) 

Accessories: linen thread

Thank You

One thing I love about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is all the wonderful people I have met through this company! There are some people I call my friends who I wouldn't even know if it weren't for Stampin' Up! I love and appreciate each and every one of my customers.

I always want to make sure they know that I appreciate them, so I always make a small handmade tag to go on every order I receive. It's fun, it lets them know they are appreciated, and it shows them a great way to use their Stampin' Up! products.

These are the ones I made recently, I found the idea on pinterest. I have a serious love affair with pinterest, it's dangerous. If you haven't checked it out yet, you don't know what you are missing!

Another thing I have a love affair with are the 2012-2013 "in colours". I will be so sad when they retire next year! I also really love the Everyday Enchantment designer series paper that was available during sale-a-bration. I know sale-a-bration is over but I just can't help using this paper, the colours compliment each other so nicely and I love the washed out, worn look of some of the pages.

Stamp Sets: None
Ink: None
Paper: Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, and Everyday Enchantment DSP (sale-a-bration)
Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, Two Tags Bigz Die, 3/16 corner punch,  basic pearls, lucky limeade and calypso coral 1/8" organdy ribbon (sale-a-bration)

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful day :)

Workshop Cards

So last week I held my first Stampin' Up! workshop! I acted as my own hostess for this one. I didn't have a lot of people come, but I think I am OK with that cause I was super nervous and probably wouldn't have done so well with a ton of people. Anyways we made two different cards, one focusing on the Sale-a-bration and another focusing just on things from the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalogue. They are fairly simple because it was mostly all first timers at the workshop, but we had a good time and things went fairly well I think.

Happy Stamping
