Hello my Stampin' Friends!

It's that time again. Stampin' Up! is  getting ready to retire stamps and accessories from both the annual and occasions catalogs. As sad as it is to see these products go, there's still time for you to get them before they're gone. Plus, retiring products have discounts of up to 50%! Retiring products will only be available until May 31, or while supplies last. That's right my friends if there is something on the list you thought about having or is on your wish list NOW is the time to get them!
RETIRING LIST. (<------Click to see list)

Speaking of retiring here is one set that I love. Simply Sports.  I got some good use out of this set with my kiddos and the sports they play.

Here are some candy sticks I made for my kids basketball teams. Go St. Bede Hornets!

The kids and I loved the way they came out. Yummy as well! Just a note the 1 X 8 cellophane bags I used to make these are also on the Retired List! On sale too! 30% off. Only $1.75 for 50!!

Up next is a card I made for my youngest daughters softball team sponsor. I had them all sign the inside. Wish I took a photo. It was so cute! Go Bombers!

Do you like the Simply Sports stamp set? Act fast. There is still time to get this AND you can still get in a bundle. That's right this stamp set has a bundle. Save 15% when you bundle with coordinating  Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. Of course you can buy separate but It's nice to have the coordinating die to die cut the fun sentiments. This picture is shown with clear  but it's also available in wood mount.

Remember friends retiring products will only be available until May 31, or while supplies last.  So Jump on it! =)

Bloomin' Love

Hello My Friends! Today I want to share with you not 1 but 2 projects I made for the Inking Everything Team Facebook Hop.

First up is the card I made.

I really liked how this came out. I used a note size card in crumb cake. I also used the NEW Bloomin' Love Heart Thinlits Die & Bloomin' Love Stamp Set. Which by the way you can bundle and save 15% . SWEET!

Next up is my 3D item.

Here I made a big tag and clipped it onto a Sketched Dots Gift bag which you can find in the Stampin' Up annual catalog. I did a little bit of water coloring using a aqua painter and garden green ink. I stamped a heart from the Bloomn' love stamp set onto each of the white dots on top of the bag. I also used some of the new Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper.  I put Ghirardelli Chocolates inside. Yum! 

Here they are together.

There you have it my friends I hope you like what I made. Don't forget it's Sale -A- Bration time! For evey $50 you spend you get a FREE sale a bration item. For more information please visit my online store HERE

Halloween Flowers

Hello my friends! Today I would like to share with you these Halloween flowers I made. 

These flowers where made with the Big Shot & Bouquet Bigz Die. 

For the big spider web flower I cut very vanilla card stock and stamped spiderwebs on the petals. The spiderweb stamp is from the Witches Night stamp set. I also sponged around the petals with a stampin sponge and the new Archival Basic Black Stampin Pad! The flower steams you can pick up from your local craft store. Just paint them black like I did.

 For the smaller flower I just cut out the petals from the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper and also sponged around the edges. 

Here is another look. I just LOVE the little ghosts on the card stock!

The soda bottle I picked up at my local craft store. I filled it up with orange yummy sixlets chocolate candy!  I glued two Spider Web Doilies to each side of the soda bottle. 

Here is how it looks from the side.

To order supplies to used to make these flowers please visit my online store.

Happy Stampin'!
