Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek

February 2, 2019 admin Comments 2 comments

I started with my usual for today, editing pictures for my blog post. Going to my email to retrieve them, I found an email with blog link from my upline, so being distracted I decided to read it. Well, that changes my entire post. I suppose if you CAS(E) a card you can CAS(E) a written message. So here goes. I still had to retrieve the pictures to use but the words are partly from Mary Deatherage. Love to CAS(E) you Mary, you always do such fabulous things. Plus today you are saving me time. Thank you

Starting on 15 February, Stampin’ Up! will release a SECOND group of Sale-A-Bration products for you to choose from with your qualifying orders! I’ve placed my pre-order and it should arrive next week, so this seemed like a good time to give you a little peek of the next round of Sale-A-Bration goodies. There will also be dies that coordinate with some of your favorite Sale-A-Bration products.

At the $50 level, there’s the All Adorned stamp set – especially
made to work with your Stamparatus to create a card just like this one…

Here’s a fun video to let you see what it’s all about!

and…

The Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – also available with a $50 purchase – will create gorgeous textured backgrounds!

How About these gorgeous beauties? At the $100 level is a BUNDLE – called the Painted Seasons Bundle. It includes the Painted Seasons Cling DisINKtive stamp set AND a beautiful pack of Painted Seasons DSP. For free.

Stampin’ Up! has provided us with a great video showing the Painted Seasons Bundle! Check it out!

Of course, the original Sale-A-Bration offerings will ALSO still be available! Offerings like these. And they are free with a $50 purchase.

But wait! There’s more!

This is the Lasting Lily stamp set with the coordinating die. Beautiful right?

Lovely Flowers Forever Lovely!

January 26, 2019 admin Comments 8 comments

My card today is from the Forever Lovely stamp bundle. I used the Edgelits Dies more than anything. The greeting on the front of the card comes from Forever Lovely stamp set. I also used the Itty Bitty Birthday for my inside sentiment.

My inspiration for today’s card comes from the As You See It Challenge. I loved playing in this challenge it gave me a chance to use the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet to give my card a metallic look. I liked this paper so much I may use it again tomorrow, look for it.

The base is Whisper White card stock with a Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet as a mat with a Whisper White mat as the top layer. A panel of the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet is cut and then run through the Big Shot using one of the dies from the Lovely Flowers die set. This is part of the bundle called Forever Lovely.

A panel of Whisper White is cut and run through the Big Shot using the same die so the white will show through the cut out flowers even though there is a white mat that would be sufficient for the Lovely Lipstick die cut.

A Whisper White Sheer Ribbon is wrapped around the Lovely Lipstick art panel and tied in a bow before adhering to the layered base.

The greeting is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink at the bottom of the art piece onto the Whisper White panel. That’s it for the front of the card.

The inside sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink on a panel of Whisper White. The roses from the Forever Lovely stamp set is stamped in Lovely Lipstick and Pear Pizzazz ink on a small panel of Whisper White. The sentiment and the rose panel are stamped on separate panels and then adhered to the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet.

Thanks for stopping by. My wish is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. Have a blessed day!

Geared Up Garage

January 23, 2019 admin Comments 8 comments

I’m typing this after previewing my card for the first time. I tried the new Gutenberg Editor today. Thought I might as well give it a try. I like some parts of it but the one I haven’t mastered is the code for the stamps used for creating the card. Since I didn’t know how to do that I switched back to Classic Editor, I was surprised when I previewed the site again, because what I had done in Gutenberg was still there. I had thought it would all revert to Classic so guess you can use both Gutenberg and Classic in the same post. Have a great day!

My card today is created using the Geared Up Garage stamp set.

The card starts with a Basic Black card base.

The inspiration today comes from the Double D Challenge Looking Back In Time.

Two panels were cut from Pumpkin Pie card stock as mats. 1-1/2″ x 4-1/2″.

Two panels are cut, one from Tranquil Tide card stock and the other from a piece of the 6 x 6 Classic Garage DSP. 1-3/8″ x 4-3/8″

These panels are adhered using Liquid Glue and then adhered to the Basic Black card base.

The car was fussy cut from a panel of the 6″ x 6″ Classic Garage DSP and popped on with Stampin Dimensionals.

That’s it for the card front, now on to the inside sentiment.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Memento Black Ink on a 3-5/8″ x 1-3/8″ panel using a stamp from the Cake Soiree stamp set. It is adhered to a
3-3/4″ x 5″ panel from the Classic Garage DSP that has been matted on a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Pumpkin Pie card stock.

That’s my card for today, I hope you found encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Stampin’ With ShirleyG Butterfly Rewards

Qualify to earn FREE Stampin’ Up! product from ANY current Stampin’ Up! catalog or promotion! The Stampin With ShirleyG Rewards Program is my way of personally saying “thank you” to my frequent shoppers.

How Butterfly Rewards Work:

For each $25 that you order from my online store (before S & H) you will earn one Butterfly. You also earn my monthly Online Class Tutorial with projects that are exclusive to my classes!
You will earn one Butterfly for each friend that you refer when they place their first order of $25+ from my online store.
When you have earned 16 Butterflies you will get a FREE product order valued up to $40.00, your choice and mailed directly to you!

NO MONTHLY COMMITMENT – Just place a $25.00 or greater online order through me (must be a single order of $25 or higher before shipping and tax) online. For every full increment of $25.00 (before shipping and tax), you earn one Butterfly. Individual orders may NOT be combined to attain a Butterfly. Example: a product order of $49 would not qualify for a Butterfly. However, an order of $101 would qualify for TWO Butterflies. Please note, when shopping online make sure that you are shopping in my online store otherwise your orders won’t count toward your Butterfly Reward totals.

I’ve created a sheet to help you keep track of your Butterfly Rewards. You can open and print the PDF by clicking on the link here:
