Please park along the street (Woodcliff) behind the building. Thanks!
I have a LOT of retired items that need new homes. I mean, boxes and boxes and boxes full. I can’t even walk through the room they’re stored in. I really have to let this stuff go… to make room for more new stuff! So, I’m having a BOGO sale:
Whatever you spend on retired items, I will give you that much in new items! You only pay tax and shipping on the new stuff. Yes, you get twice the product!
Example: Say you buy $100 in retired product from me. Then you get $100 toward an order of new product. So you can get $100 in new product and pay just $17.70 for tax and shipping OR you can subtract $100 from a larger order of new product.
PLUS you get a free Sale-a-bration item for every $50 you spend.
PLUS you get a Gum Ball for every $50 you spend. (See how Gum Ball Rewards work here.)
This is a wonderful way to stock up, not only on retired products you may have missed, but also on current products in the Annual and Occasions catalogs. Be sure to have your current product wish list ready before you come, to make the order process easier.
Tell your friends!
I hope to see you there!

When I was at Stampin’ UpS OnStage event in Tampa, we got to cut one of these beautifully intricate hearts with the new Blooming’ Hearts Thinlits Dies and stamp flowers on it with the new Love Blossoms stamp set. Later, when I attended Monika Davis’ team meeting, she had created a Make & Take using this same heart.
These two items are available in a bundle to save 15%!
The card base is Blushing Bride card stock. The next panel is Crumb Cake CS, and it’s attached to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. We cut the heart out of a piece from the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack and glued it onto the top panel.
I messed up a couple of the flowers that I stamped directly onto the heart, so I decided to stamp them in Rose Red on Blushing Bride CS, and cut them out with the Thinlits. Since the dies cut a hole out of the center of each flower, I backed each one with a tiny scrap of Whisper White CS, before gluing them onto the heart.
I stamped two more flowers in Rose Red directly onto the card base at the bottom, and created centers from Whisper White CS by using the 1/8″ Circle Punch.
The sentiment is stamped in Rose Red on a strip of Whisper White CS, notched at the ends with the 1″ Square Punch, and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

At first I wasn’t sure I would like or need the new Number of Years stamp set, or the Large Numbers Framelits Dies, or the bundle. But I was so wrong! Especially after I saw all the great things you can do with them.
For today’s card, I inked up the number stamps in Old Olive ink, then spritzed them with water before stamping onto Whisper White card stock. I love the mottled look the spritzing created. I cut the numbers out with the coordinating dies, and attached them to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This is a perfect time to use the skinny outer rim of your Stampin’ Dimensionals pack. I used scissors to cut some skinny strips for the backs of the numbers. You can also use the hexagonal Dimensionals themselves and just cut them in half, or thirds, or even fourths, depending on how narrow your image is.
I actually had this card sitting around for a while because I couldn’t decide how to finish it off once the base was done. The numbers were perfect!
The card base is Old Olive card stock, and the front panel is two pieces from the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper stack. Along the intersection of the two pieces of DSP, I glued a a piece of Old Olive Baker’s Twine and a piece of Calypso Coral Thick Baker’s Twine.
Now I just have to wait until someone I know turns 25 or has a silver anniversary!

I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a couple days. I’m on a trip with some friends and, while the Internet here is pretty good, I’ve just been having too much fun to sit down and post, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Even when I have my laptop with me by the pool, I’m just too distracted and relaxed to get much done. So please forgive me if I don’t post quite as much this week.
By the way, if you ever have the opportunity to stay at LeBlanc in Cancun, do it! It’s an amazingly luxurious place. They pamper you like you’re royalty. We even have a butler! Now on to today’s card…
The Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies, originally offered in the 2015 Holiday catalog, are returning in the new Occasions catalog, and are available in a new Bundle with a brand new coordinating stamp set, Happy Home. Aren’t these images sweet?
For today’s card, I used the bench image to create a sweet Spring/Summer scene outside the window. I stamped the scene in Basic Black on Whisper White card stock, then I colored in the scene with Sponge Daubers and inks in Soft Sky and Garden Green. I used a White Stampin’ Chalk Marker to fill in the clouds, and a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker to fill in the bench. I used Stampin’ Dimentionals to attach the window to the wall.
Notice the little bird in the sky over the bench? That isn’t part of the stamp. I accidentally got a speck of ink there, so I used my Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker to hide it with a little V shaped bird. No problem!
For the room’s interior, I used a piece of the new Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack as the wallpaper.
For the bead board wainscoting, I scored a piece of Whisper White card stock every 1/8” with my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I glued a 1/4″ strip of Whisper White CS along the top of the bead board, then a 1/8″ strip on top of that, for the chair rail molding.
I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green on Blushing Bride CS, and cut it out with the Word Window Punch. The whole thing is glued onto a Garden Green card base.

The card base is Lost Lagoon card stock, and the sentiment is matted with Blushing Bride and Lost Lagoon.

This is such a pretty stamp set! Birthday Blooms is in the new Occasions Catalog coming tomorrow.
For today’s card, I stamped the flower in Basic Black ink, once on Daffodil Delight card stock and several times on Old Olive card stock. From the Daffodil Delight one, I fussy cut the flower portion, and from the Old Olive ones I cut the stem and leaves from one and just the leaves from the others. Fussy cutting = Paper Snips rule!
The card base is Daffodil Delight CS, with a layer of Basic Black CS, and a top layer from the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack. I stamped the sentiment in Basic Black directly on the card front, and I glued the flower and leaves onto the card front.
