Hello Friends,

It's always fun to see what paper crafts your friends are making.  Every month, we offer a team swap.  It's always fun to see what the other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators on our team are making.  There's so much talent and so many creative projects.  Of course, there's also prizes and recognition for Sales and Promotions within our team.  You're going to love them projects made by this month's Guest Designers. 

Lori Ballitch, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and team member from Mansfield, OH shared a project that is pure cuteness.  The little Mini Pizza Box wowed us enough, then we opened it up to find 5 adorable cards with matching envelopes.  Lori used the Amazing Life stamp set along with the Piece of Cake stamp set and the coordinating Cake Builder punch.  Love the little polka dots that she added to her Mini Pizza Boxes with a pencil eraser and ink.  Isn't she clever!

Carol Dennison, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and Team Member from Mansfield, Ohio had us all oohing and ahhing over her Suede or Leather look.  How perfect that she used the Let it Ride stamp set to compliment her leather.  It really does feel like suede or leather!  For another fun twist, her Fun Fold Card opens up to say, "Live as if someone left the gate open."

Crystal Cleveland, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and team member from Marengo, Ohio always has some cute 3-D project to share.  Love the way she tucked her suckers in her folded Designer paper and topped them off with cute animals complete with googlie eyes.

Ann Bloomfield, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from Chesterville, Ohio made a card that is so simple, yet so beautiful.  She let her Needlepoint Nook Designer Paper do the heavy lifting.  She lifted her color choices from the her gorgeous stitched look  paper.  She  stamped the sentiment with Poppy Parade ink and punched it all out with the  pretty label punch.

Tara Griffin, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and Team Member from Kissimmee, Florida dazzled us with her beautifully simple Wedding Card.  Petal Promenade Designer Paper beautifully compliments the lovely bride.  To add a bit of luster to her bride,  Tara brushed her gown with her Wink of Stella brush.  What a perfect finish.

I couldn't help but smile when Crystal Cleveland, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and team member from Marengo, Ohio referred to her project as Piggy Popcorn.  She's always making special treats for her grandchildren.  Piggy Popcorn is popcorn drizzled with white chocolate and dotted with MnMs.  What a delightful salty sweet treat!  You may recognize the little pig from the This Little Piggy stamp set.

We'd love to have you join our Stampin' Up! Team

Hello Friends,

Stamping the delicate flowers, leaves and hearts of the Forever Lovely stamps never looses it magic.  This Distinctive stamp set makes it easy to create eye-catching projects.  Plus, ...

I have discovered that the Stamparatus stamp positioning tool makes it effortless to stamp stacks of loveliness.  Just look at all that beautiful detail!

And before you poo poo the idea of stacks of love you cards, think again.  Besides significant others, there's sons and daughters, moms and dads, granddaughters and grandsons, nieces and nephews, grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles.  The list goes on and on.  Besides, you can always change the sentiment if you wish.

More Forever Lovely Card Making Tips

After stamping the spray of flowers.  I stamped a trio of bitty hearts above my tag with Flirty Flamingo ink.

I cut my tag with Coastal Cabana Card Stock and my Stitched Rectangle Framelits Dies, then popped then up with Dimensionals.

There are 3 other little details that really bring those flowers to life.  First,  I colored the centers of two flowers with my Pineapple Punch Marker.  And then, I cut a few small Balmy Blue flowers with a die from my coordinating Lovely Flowers die set.  To finish off those Balmy Blue flowers, I added Pearl Basic Jewel centers.

The finishing touch was a Night of Navy bow made with medium Baker's Twine.

Did you notice the lovely color combination?

I took my cue from the stylish Craft & Carry Stamparatus bag  and the Craft & Carry Tote.  The Craft & Carry Stamparatus bag can be purchased with the Stamparatus or purchased separately.

There's only one way to get your hands on this stylish and highly functional  Craft & Carry Bag.  And that is to purchase the Option 2 Stampin' Up! Starter Kit during Sale-a-bration (January 3-March 31, 2019).  I love to have you on my Stampin' Up! Team and you might as well join with style.  Find Out More.
