Weekly Deals - March 10 and more

 Just in from Stampin' Up! - Blendabilities have been discontinued. They have been having quality issues and the supplier is unable to fix them in a way that meets Stampin' Up!'s high standards. If you have questions, please contact me. 

NEW PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET: Just Kidding! How cute is this:

Remember, the photopolymer sets that have been introduced through the year are only guaranteed to be available for 6 months. So if you want any of them (this includes Better Than Email), don't wait too long to get them. 
  
Here are this week's Weekly Deals. Hostess code for online ordering is HP7TTAMR. I am placing an order tonight (Tuesday), so let me know if you'd like something. I may place another group order later in the week if there is interest.

Sale-A-Bration Product of the Week-You Brighten My Day Stamp Set

If you came here for this week's TSSC card, I'm sorry but I had a busy week last week (including two stamp classes and a Stampin' Up! party - Yah!!) and just did not get one made. I'll have one for you next Monday. Since there's not a TSSC card, enjoy this post from the Stampin' Up! blog featuring two great products you can get for free during Sale-a-Bration (SAB).

You Brighten My Day Stamp Set (Item 139103 [w])
Think about how many days you can brighten with the You Brighten My Day Stamp Set! No need to spend precious time cutting out all the adorable images; this set coordinates with three different punches: the Banner and What’s Up Punches, and the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. Plus, the triple star and triple heart images fit right on the little house, making it ever so easy to customize your creation. And with four different sentiments, this stamp set works for just about any occasion.

Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (Item 138634)
Combine the You Brighten My Day Stamp Set with our Best Year Ever Accessory Pack and you’ve got yourself one darn-cute creation! The Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, and Coastal Cabana ribbon and buttons in this accessory pack are bright, fun, and ready to embellish cards, gifts, scrapbook pages, and more.













We want to thank our talented artists, Mary Polcin and Brian King.

SAB Product of the Week - My Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack

Here's another SAB Product of the Week feature from the SU Blog. My Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack is already on the way. Can't wait for it to get here! Get your own Vellum Stack for FREE with $50 purchase.

Sale-A-Bration Product of the Week-Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack

Sale-A-Bration is more than just our biggest sales event of the year, it’s also the perfect time to introduce you to some of our newest products! We thought there was no better way to do that than by showing you just a few of the possibilities you can make with these fantastic new products. So without further adieu, we want to introduce you to this week’s Sale-A-Bration product of the week—the Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack.

Sheer perfection is spelled v-e-l-l-u-m. This 6" x 6" stack of translucent vellum paper, in 12 different designs (2 sheets per design), is perfectly sized for cards—no measuring or cutting needed! And since many of the designs are line art or brush stroke, it’s also perfect for coloring or even just showing off a pop of color underneath. The gorgeous designs coordinate with Nature’s Perfection Stamp Set (Item 139097 [w])—another bonus Sale-A-Bration product only available through March 31!

We want to thank our talented artists, Patty Bennett and Sharlene Meyer. Show us what you have made with the Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack by using #sabproductoftheweek.

TSSC 356 - Butterfly Sympathy Card

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. Since this card isn't as flowery as most sympathy cards I make, I thought it would be good to send to a man.

Supplies:

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Hello Honey, Whisper White

Designer Series Paper (DSP): Lullaby

Ink: Baked Brown Sugar

Punches: Elegant Butterfly

Big Shot: Square Lattice Embossing Folder

Here's this week's sketch. Use it to inspire you!

You can link your project and see the rest of the design team samples at the Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge site. Hope you'll play along this week!

TSSC 355 - Butterfly Basics

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. I used the Stampin' Up! set, Butterfly Basics, which is in the Occasions Catalog. There are coordinating framelits, which are available with the stamp set as a bundle. Although the framelits are really cool, I didn't use them on this card because the stamp I chose matches the Bitty Butterfly punch.

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Butterfly Basics

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Wild Wasabi

Punches: Bitty Butterfly, Scallop Tag Topper

Big Shot: Square Lattice Embossing Folder

TSSC 354 - Guy Greetings

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. I used the Stampin' Up! set, Guy Greetings, which is in the Occasions Catalog.

Supplies:

Stamps: Guy Greetings

Cardstock: Whisper White

Designer Series Paper (DSP): Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack (I used the retired pack, but two patterns from the current pack could be used)

Ink: StazOn Black

Here's this week's sketch. 

What really makes this set is that there are sayings that are appropriate for each image. In fact, that's what sold me on this set. Here's the inside of the card:

SAB Products of the Week

I shared in a previous post about the Stampin' Up! blog feature Sale-a-Bration (SAB) product of the week. They are great for getting a feel for the products available for free during SAB. Funny thing, though - I've noticed they are coming out more often than weekly.

I'm sharing one project each from 3 different posts.  The product name is a link so you can go to the respective blog post and see all of the other great ideas there.

Big Day Stamp Set (Item 139109) and Stampin' Blendabilities Markers

Best Day Ever Stamp Set with the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper

 

This Day Project Life Mini Card Collection (Item 138636)

And in case you missed it, here's the first product of the week post I did for Irresistibly Yours. Remember, click the product name to see the full post/more ideas.

Choose any one of these featured products, or a different item from the SAB brochure, for free with $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration.

Love Cards

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd share a couple of love cards. The stamps are from the photopolymer set, Countless Sayings 1. Don't look for the set in your catalog, though. It's only available online, while supplies last. The washi tape is retired, but Beach House has a roll of Real Red washi tape which would look cute.

I entered these cards in the Late Night Stampers February Challenge. The theme is Valentines/Hearts/Love.

TSSC 353 - Countless Sayings 1

Here's my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. I used the Stampin' Up! set, Countless Sayings 1. This is one of the sets that is only available online. These stamps used to have their own category, but now they are interspersed in the Photopolymer Stamp category. I'll be posting more cards made with this set later in the week.

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Countless Sayings 1, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Cardstock: Real Red, Early Espresso, Whisper White

Ink: Early Espresso

Punch: Hearts Border Punch, Heart Punch

Here's this week's sketch. As you can see, I rotated it for my card.

You can link your project and see the rest of the design team samples at the Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge site. Hope you'll play along this week!

I also entered these cards in the Late Night Stampers February Challenge. The theme is Valentines/Hearts/Love.

TSSC 352 - Sheltering Tree, Winter Version

I really love the new Stampin' Up! set Sheltering Tree from the Occasions Catalog! It was the first set I used from my recent splurge (there's a LOT of good stuff in that catalog!) and here I am already using it on a 2nd TSSC card. You can see the other one (a Spring version) here.

Here's my design team sample for this week:

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Sheltering Tree, Holiday Home

Cardstock: Whisper White

Ink: Marina Mist, Early Espresso, Basic Black, a few random blues sponged in the sky (along w/Marina Mist)

Punch: Scallop Oval

Trim: Pacific Point Baker's Twine

 

Here's this week's sketch. Use it to inspire you.

SAB Product of the Week - Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP

Get this beautiful Specialty DSP FREE with $50 purchase (before shipping and tax) through March 31, 2015! Shop here. Current Hostess Code: JKWWAVAW

Last week at Stamp Club I showed the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP. I think the white on white is beautiful for elegant projects, like wedding cards or favors. Then I tried to explain how you could color the DSP and when you wipe off the ink, the glossy parts are white again. My explanation wasn't very clear, so I was thrilled when I saw this post on the Stampin' Up! blog:

Sale-A-Bration Product of the Week-Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper

Sale-A-Bration is more than just our biggest sales event of the year, it’s also the perfect time to introduce you to some of our newest products! We thought there was no better way to do that than by showing you just a few of the possibilities you can make with these fantastic new products. So without further adieu, we want to introduce you to this week’s Sale-A-Bration product of the week—the Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper.

This paper is so much more than meets the eye! The glossy designs look great alone or they will “resist” ink, making them really fun for techniques. Try it with spritzers, brayers, sponges and more. You’ll find that this paper can be used with any style, from bold and bright to elegant and subtle. Try a technique class with your friends where everyone can play with this paper and fall in love with it like we have! With unlimited crafty possibilities, this paper is simply a must-have for everyone’s paper stash.
