Pretty Present

Who wouldn't love receiving this gorgeous box as a gift!  I know I was thrilled when I got this from my upline at our Leadership Conference in January.  It almost didn't matter what was inside – the box is so pretty!  You'll see lots of new products and a few older, tried and true ones as well, but it features the Apothecary Art stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog paired with the Labels Collection Framelits to cut out the image.

But look – there's more – here's what was inside!

It's a beautiful Simply Adorned bracelet with lots of charms!  The main charms are one of each from the Trinket Hearts package.  There's also a Pink Crystal Bauble and a small Square Charm that says "The Heartfelt Stampers" on one side and "Leadership 2012" on the other.  Such a wonderful keepsake to remember our fun trip by!  Stampin' Up! has announced that they'll no longer be carrying the Simply Adorned line after May 31st, so you'll want to order yours now!

Scrapbooking with Blossom Builders

Here's another example from the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference in San Antonio – this time it's scrapbooking.  I just adored this page using a brand new product called Blossom Builders.  For just $9.95, making beautiful flower embellishments for a card or scrapbook page has never been easier.  Double sided, printed, die cut flowers on textured paper make it easy to mix and match and layer one of a kind flowers.  This kit also includes half-back pink rhinestones.  Such a value!

Item No. 125410 Blossom Builders Designer Printed Kit $9.95

And if you enjoy scrapbooking, be sure to sign up for my March 9th and 10th Stamp Shoppe to make 3 beautiful 12"x12" layouts.  They're absolutely gorgeous this month – I'll be posting the designs soon!  Check out all the details HERE – you can even purchase these classes "on the go" HERE!
 

More Valentines from Leadership Conference

We were treated to such a cute display of cards at the Leadership Conference in January made by fellow demonstrators.  The Stampin' Up! home office had the idea that everyone bring samples of their best work and display them on a clothesline.  I took lots of pictures!

This one highlights so many great products – PS I Love You stamp set, Fashionable Hearts and Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits Dies, Adorning Accents and Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folders and Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine!  Whew – all in one gorgeous card!

I love the "unexpectedness" of the color scheme in this card – Crumb Cake, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder.  It also features PS I Love You stamp set, along with the brand new Hearts Collection Framelits Dies, Sweet Shop Specialty Designer Series Paper and Sweet Shop Jelly Bean Brads.

This is a gorgeous example of combining some of the new Sale-A-Bration exclusive items – Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper and Outlined Occasions stamp set.  Love the Clothespins and clothesline made with White Baker's Twine.  Hearts I believe are mostly punched with Heart to Heart Punch.

I'm sorry that I can't give credit to these three talented ladies for their gorgeous cards.  I don't have their contact information.  But aren't they beautiful?

Valentine’s Day Stampin’ Up! Style

One of the highlights of the Stampin' Up! Leadership Convention in January was all of the display ideas, both from the Stampin' Up! home office as well as from all the demonstrators who attended.  I'll share some of my favorites with you in this post and in upcoming posts.

This is a darling set of Valentine's Day ideas that was on display.  The notes use PS I Love You stamp set.  Love the idea of making the pencil into an arrow!  And I love the idea for the cake pop box – they're all the rage right now!

And here's a sweet card using lots of new product from the Occasions Mini – the new Baker's Twine in Island Indigo, the Textured Impressions Adorning Accents Embossing Folder, Hearts Collection Framelits Dies and the PS I Love You stamp set.
