August Promotion

Dates: August 1-31, 2011

Promotion Details: During August, you will get a FREE package of Designer Series Paper when you buy three! Use this limited-time offer to stock up on all your favorites, including brand-new designs from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.

Samples from our Brand New 2011-2012 Catalog!

Hello!

I just thought I would share a few samples straight from Stampin' UP!'s website with you! These actually came right out of the brand new catalog! I always love when the annual catalog comes out. There are so many new items to drool over and there are also so many adorable samples to admire.

Take this 6x6 scrapbook page for example:

This scrapbook page is featured on pg 190 of the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog. It is part of a collection of coordinating products called the "Beau Chateau" product suite. You will find everything in this suite on pg 132 of the IB&C, from a designer album, to a pack of designer series paper, to fabric, stamps, and more!

This particular card is featured on pg 18 of the new IB&C as part of the a la carte selection. The stamp in question is called "Many Mustaches."

Most of our stamps come in coordinated sets, which are really great, but it is nice to have a few choices of little individual stamps to choose from, as well.

This card was made using one of our "Background" stamps called "Hello, Doily." For those of you not already familiar with these, the are stamps that are large enough to cover the entire front of a standard sized card! I love them! You can find this stamp on pg 127 and 150 of the IB&C. It is also part of one of our product suites called "Flirtatious." You can find all of these coordinating products on pg 126.

This card can be found on pg 205 of the IB&C. It is featuring our embossing folders that are used with the Sizzix Big Shot (the die-cutting machine that we carry...LOVE it!) . The stamped image you see is from a stamp set called "Daring Adventure," which is part of another product suite called "Well Worn." It is actually presented in a masculine way on pg 144 and you can see by this sample how versatile all of Stampin' UP!'s images can be!

And last for today, you will find this card and envelope on pg 182 of the IB&C. The stamp set used on the card is called "Elements of Style" and it also features one of our punches called "2 Step Bird.

For more info on these specific cards, please visit www.stampinup.com and click on the tab labelled "Projects and Techniques."

If you are interested in learning how easy it is to make your own beautiful cards or scrapbook pages &/or how to earn free Stampin' UP! merchandise, please contact me at 256 841 4646 or email at alex00upc@yahoo.com

A Birthday Card

Here is a card that I made for a friend for a friend for her birthday. :)

I used a retired set called BIG PIECES to create the background. I started with pink pirouette card stock as the card base, then I stamped the large circle with pretty in pink classic ink, then the large flower with melon mambo classic ink. I also used a retired flower die-cut to make the flower. Pretty simple card, but it was totally fun to make!

Thanks for stopping by!
