Exciting New Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog

So check it out, finally the new Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog is in effect,  Woohooo!   I think I purchased everything in it.   CLICK HERE TO VIEW or  CLICK HERE TO SHOP NOW.   E-mail your address to me at [email protected] if you wish to have a mini catalog mailed to you for free.

Well what have I been up to outside of buying stamps?  I have been cranking out 160 of these. . . . . .

This is my swap card for the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas later this month.  Sorry, no tutorial right now.  This card does use one of the new sets in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini (Baby Prints).  It’s a cute baby set, but I was inspired to use it a bit differently.

Well back to work for me. . . .

May your day be full of fun surprises.

Arrow Through The Heart – Tutorial #480 And The December Customer Gift Give Away

Happy New Year!!!   I hope your holiday was one to remember.   Mine was spent at home with Russ safe and sound in our little home.   We watched the ball go down in New York from our sofa here in Ohio.    I know, party animals, right, lol.

As I started the 1st day of this year, my mind went to the next holiday I will need cards for, Valentine’s Day.   Creating a Valentine’s Day card also gave me an excuse to give a little sneak peek of a couple of stamps you will find in the upcoming Stampin’ Up Occasions Mini Catalog from the stamp set P.S. I Love You.   Wonderful set and perfect to make cards for the one’s you love.

The tutorial below features a background made using plastic wrap and ink.  With a little masking you can also learn how to make an object recede in your scene.  Check out the heart.  It is not a cut out.   Team that heart with a cupid image and some white clouds and you have an out of this world Valentine.

FYI, The Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini catalog will be in effect January 4 – April 30, 2012.   My current Stampin’ Up! customers will receive this mini catalog automatically from me.  If you would like an Occasions Mini Catalog, please e-mail your address to: [email protected] and I will get one in the mail to you.   You won’t want to miss out on the exceptionally wonderful things in this mini!   If you have ordered from me in the past year and have not received your mini catalog, please e-mail me.

Before the tutorial I have an announcement to make!

Using the edge of a Peach Parfait ink pad, applied the ink in a swiping motion on a 3″ x 4.25″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Using a crumpled up piece of plastic wrap, dabbed Cajun Craze ink on the card stock.

Applied Baja Breeze ink on the card stock using the crumpled plastic wrap.

Rubbed the Peach Parfait ink pad all over the card stock.

Sponged Cajun Craze ink around the edge of the heart mask.

Removed the heart mask.

Punched another heart from a post it note, this time from the center.  Put the negative piece on so the heart on the card stock shows through the post it note heart.  Sponge Tempting Turquoise around the edge of the heart shape.

Remove the mask and sponge Cherry Cobbler ink around the edge of the card stock.

Stamped the cupid stamp using Basic Black ink.

Added white gel pen to the cupids wings.
