Free Pines & Poinsettias Stamp Set

In my recent post dated July 3 (VIEW HERE), I  overlooked announcing the fact that this beautiful

Pines & Poinsettias stamp set

was included in the $99 Starter Kit as part of the Christmas Keepsake Project!! 

This set will  be featured in our upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog but when you order the $99 Special Starter Kit, you get it FREE!!  You'll be the first to start creating wonderful Christmas cards, keepsake gifts and more using these gorgeous images. 

Taking that into consideration, the $99 Kit is actually valued at about $225...

now that's a

BIG DEAL!!

To order your kit today, CLICK HERE.

The purchase of this kit comes with no obligations but entitles you to lots of opportunities.  You will also be entitled to the benefits of a hobbyist or a business builder...your choice.  Ask me about the difference.

Going, Going....GONE!

 

This card was made using the retiring stamp set Priceless.

It's that time of the year when Stampin' Up! is making room in their catalog for new merchandise, but to do so, many of your favorite products will soon be retiring.  You can CLICK HERE to see what's being discontinued.  You will find wood and clear stamp sets, accessories and Definately Decorative items.

I am giving 5 catalogs away FREE ($10 value).  To be eligible, just go to MY ONLINE STORE and place a minimum $35 order before midnight June 23rd.  (Shipping costs, if you want it mailed to you, is not included in this free offer.)  If I draw your name, I will contact you through the email address listed with your order. Just go to my website and place your order to qualify.

More Sale-a-Bration Samples

 

OMG!  I decided to play with the one of the items that you can get free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion...the Designer Series Paper and Quick Accents Pack... and just couldn't stop!  I only used 1/2 of the pack and had made so many cards, I had to take a break.  On the card above, I also used some of the buttons from the Ribbon and Button Pack...another free Sale-a-Bration choice (as well as the all new and so fun Cupcake Punch found in our new Occasions Mini Catalog). The matching "thread" in the buttons is really strips of cardstock!  So much easier than trying to find a needle and thread.

 

I'm not sure if it's the operator or the camera but lately my photos are a bit blurry.  I know you can still get the idea but I'm not liking the results.  Maybe I need a photography lesson or two!

 

 

 

 

 

The sentiments in the birthday card at the top and this card both come from one of my new "favorite" sets called A Word for You. 

I saw the stamp set used on a birthday card on someone else's blog and just had to have it...especially now that we have a cupcake punch that punches a birthday cake with a cherry on top!!

If you want some of these free items, be sure to place your order before March 31, 2011.  You can get one free item with every $50 purchase.  Go to my website at www.oh2bstampin.stampinup.net and click on SHOP NOW.  There is no limit to the number of free items you can receive and if your order exceeds $150, you will qualify for Hostess Rewards as well.  That's a lot of FREE STUFF!!

Happy Valentine's Day

 

It's that time of the year when hearts abound and this card is no exception.  I made this card for my hubby for Valentine's Day.  I know it's not real fancy and frilly but he likes the simple cards the best.  In fact, he told me once when I was trying to make some masculine cards that I shouldn't add ribbon!!  WHAT???  I love our ribbon...I don't think I know how to make a card without it!  I'm hoping by using big, bold, black and white striped ribbon on his card, it will be an "acceptable" masculine choice.

 

I am really enjoying our new "Eat Cake" stamp set (Occasions Mini Catalog) and just laugh at the sayings included in the set.  I like the one I used in the project above..."All you need in life is a friend who has chocolates...I'm that friend".  But my favorite is actually a different stamp in the set that says "I would give up chocolate but I'm no QUITTER!"

The project above also uses our new VALENTINE RED Glimmer Paper!  It brightens up any project with a sparkly, glitter-without-the-mess beauty that I find really fun to work with.  It is also found in our Occasions Mini Catalog.  If you do not have one, you can download a copy by clicking on the Occasions Mini Catalog in the left hand column. 

Remember that for every $50 purchase you make between now and March 31, 2011, you can also choose any one item in our Sale-a-Bration catalog for FREE!  (You can also find a downloadable copy in the left hand column.) 

HAVE A HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY AND TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM!

Sale-a-Bration Samples

I have been having so much fun playing with my Free Sale-a-Bration items.  I can't make up my mind which free item is my favorite.  Check out the samples below and you'll see why!

  SWEET SUMMER

The card top left is one of my favorites using the Sweet Summer stamp set.  I love this layout and have used it on several of my cards lately.  I just change out the color of the card stock and designer paper, change the main image and voila...a new card!

           

 

 

 

The card to the right is one of the cards we made at this month's Stampers Club.  It uses white craft ink and blender pens to color in the flowers.

 

 

The Tangerine Tango and Tempting Turquoise color combo was really eye catching in this card.  I also had fun stamping matching envelopes to accompany my cards.

I made a few more samples using this stamp set but the pics turned out a bit blurry...I think it may be a little late at night to be working on my blog posts but didn't want to delay any longer showing you some of the free items you can get with a $50 purchase during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  Don't forget it ends on March 31st.  You can get free sets for hosting a $300 workshop as well so call me to book a date and invite your friends over for some fun!

Okay so just one more set for the night and then I'm off to dream land....

 

 

 

Would you like to know which free item is the most popular?  Well Punch Bunch has the #1 spot on the charts!  Punch Bunch consists of 5 stamps that coordinate with our punches.  It is available in both wood mount and clear mount.  The card on the left highlights the Small Tag Punch and the "welcome baby" stamp from the set. 

I also love the Tulip Embossing Folder that was used to create the border on this card.  This was a card I received at Leadership Conference through a swap.  (I made a card and gave it to someone who then gave me this card in return.)

 

 

 

Isn't this the cutest little owl ever??  The best part about him is he is so easy to add to your projects because the stamp has a coordinating punch.  The 1" circle punch also matches the "true friend" stamp on this project.  (Sorry it's a little blurry...I told you it was too late to try working on my blog posts!) 

This project is the perfect gift for a teacher, co-worker or friend...it contains a small bottle of hand sanitizer from Bath & Body!  It's quite simple to make too.  Cut a strip of card stock 2" x 11".  Score it at 1/2", 1 1/2", 3 1/2", 4 1/2", 8" and 9".  Punch a 3/4" circle in between the 2nd and 3rd score marks and insert the bottle cap through the hole.  Then wrap the card stock around the bottle and assemble with Sticky Strip.  Embellish using the FREE Punch Bunch stamp set and Designer Paper of your choice. 

 

I'll be celebrating Valentine's Day tomorrow with my hubby...check back to see the card I made for him and a little sweet treat that I made for everyone attending my February workshops.  Don't forget, contact me to book your workshop before Sale-a-Bration ends.

 

Check back Tuesday for more samples using other free Sale-a-Bration items.
