I’m attending a virtual leadership event this weekend with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world and as I listen, I’m also able to do a little stamping!
I’m combining the #tgif331 Inspiration Challenge with the #CCMC679 sketch for my card showcasing the Counting Sheep stamp set and Sheep Dies…both of which you could earn free during Sale-a-Bration!
You could get most of these products FREE by hosting an online party before September 30th (I don’t have any open in-person dates left, sorry) or placing a $150 order and choosing the stamps, dies and Designer Series Paper as a host! Book early, as the sheep dies are only available while supplies last!
Sale-a-Bration is hopping, so our New at SU! Design Team is hoppin’ too! This blog hop will show you a little bit of EVERY product you could choose free with a qualifying order before Sept. 30th, so don’t miss each post so you know which gifts you MUST HAVE before they are gone.
Yes, I showed you the Feels Like Home stamp set on Monday, but you are lucky to get MORE ways to use this thoughtfully welcoming set! Let’s start with a set of 3″ x 3″ cards to tuck into a lunch bag, a plate of cookies, a gift, or as a gift themselves:
Feels Like Home 3″ x 3″ gift cards
With the detail in the large image of this set, you can “spotlight” different areas to create these small cards and add a greeting with just black ink and a layer of colored card stock! 4 of them fit nicely with our envelopes into a small acetate box to use as a quick gift.
For the greeting card, I just “spotlighted” the door with Stampin’ Blends and added a potted plant…it’s a good tip to make your front porch look inviting, so why not try it on a card?
Supplies will be listed below if you want to “add to bag” before you move on to discover some shear-delightful-sheep at Mary Ann’s blog! And your thoughts are always welcome in the comments 🙂
Do you feel like you make the same style of card over and over again? The best way to STRETCH your creative muscles is with a SKETCH!
For my Lunchtime LIve Crafting on my Facebook page today, I started with the #TGIFC329 sketch challenge and the Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration stamp set…I’m having a ball using these freebies in my Monday videos to help inspire YOU on ways to use the gifts/supplies you earn for each $50 spent through September 30th, and if you want to watch today’s video tutorial, click here!
This is the TGIF sketch challenge and here are my finished card(s):
When you buy the supplies to create this card, you could choose the stamp set FREE!
I thought it was fun to flip the embossed layer over so the mortar is squeezing out between the bricks. It feels very “Mediterranean Seaside” to me… like an armchair vacation to Greece.
My only dilemma is which card do I love more: The card version with the white or sand colored bricks? Product List
My stampin’ friends and I plan a day of creative play twice a year and it’s a labor of love for our customers and teams! We call it StampFest we present it twice: Once in Southern Utah and again in Utah County. We plan and prepare multiple crafting projects for our guests to assemble, stamp beautiful display boards, find gifts to give, prizes to disperse and create cards to swap… and while it’s labor intensive, it’s worth the smiles the day brings!
Friends come together and meet other like-minded crafters, and many wonderful relationships have been formed from these events. Mothers & Daughters love attending together too ❤
Registration is OPEN for our Fall StampFest events and we invite you to play with us!
Our Southern Utah event will be held at the Hurricane Rec Center on Saturday, September 25th and the Utah County event is on Saturday, October 9th at RK Creative Studio in Spanish Fork.
What to expect: Paper crafting projects, door prizes, card swaps, sweet treats and friendships!
What to bring: Scissors and adhesive (adhesive will also be available to purchase at the event)
Registration: Early Bird price is $50 until two weeks before each event. Regular price is $60.
**Cancellation policy**: You may request a refund if cancellation is received 2 weeks prior to event. Registration may be transferred to another person at any time.
Register by clicking the buttons below each banner, or click the pictures to go to the Facebook event pages, where you will get updates and can invite friends to attend with you!
As you begin the transition to Autumn, it’s hard to leave Summer behind…the Harvest Meadow suite helps you straddle the seasons with craftivity!
The Nature’s Harvest stamp set blooms with both beautiful flowers, and sentiments you’ll cherish. The coordinating Harvest Die set includes dies that match the stamped images, plus additional coordinating images and labels.
Enjoy the feeling of earth beneath your fingers as you create with the beautiful crafting tools in this collection:
EMBELLISHMENTS
(#155475) Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, (#155816) Pale Papaya & White 1/2″ (1.3 Cm) Woven Ribbon
TIPS: Create custom ribbon with Stampin’ Blends. Start with a white ribbon or a light color ribbon similar in tone to your chosen color. Color the ribbon using the brush tip of a Stampin’ Blends marker. You can create a solid color, ombre, or rainbow effect. Because Stampin’ Blends are alcohol-based the colored ribbon dries quickly and is ready to use without a long drying time.
Pondering the current TGIF color challenge last night and this card interrupted my sleep…but I filed it to memory and made it this morning!
I was going to color the amazing sheep with markers, then I realized we have a horrible, awful oversight by Stampin’ Up! — NO COASTAL CABANA Stampin’ Blends? I considered making signs and picketing at the home office, but a protest of one may not get their attention.
So I stamped it on card stock and fussy cut around it.
Still looks awesome, so I’ll save my signs for later…
The Counting Sheep stamp set and Sheep Dies are both items you can choose FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration, but if you have to get one at a time, select the dies first, as they are only available while supplies last!

Today I opened and played with the Be Dazzling Designer Series Paper that is going to be a free product to choose with a $50 (US) order for Sale-a-Bration (starting tomorrow, 8/3/21) and let me tell you, I’ve looked around my studio for anything else I can “Be Dazzle”!
Until I took this paper out of the package, I didn’t realize how the faceted pieces caught the light and reflected it! It’s a lovely champagne color and coordinates with gold, so I embossed the greeting in gold embossing powder for the first card and used the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut a “frame” from the Be Dazzling paper. The sneak peek of the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set is from the Aug-Dec mini catalog which goes live tomorrow as well!
You can also add COLOR to this sparkling paper: I used a blending brush with the Pumpkin Pie ink pad on this pumpkin and it took the color beautifully. Then I tried a Stampin’ Blends marker to color the leaf, and it worked too! HOWEVER: I would use OLD Stampin’ Blends markers if you want to color the paper, as it’s very rough and may cause the tip of your marker to fray.
This simple card would be a lovely invitation for a fall party or Thanksgiving feast!
When you purchase the supplies to make these cards (list below), you could choose the Be Dazzling paper FREE (while supplies last) for Sale-a-Bration and may even qualify for more than one S-A-B reward!
Whenever a new catalog debuted, my demonstrator friends participate in a card swap. I’ve been a part of many swaps, and I think our group (the Stitched Stampers~ a society of stampers including my Sprinkled Ink team and other demonstrator friends) has the BEST crafters! Even new stampers expand their creativity and abilities by exchanging cards and seeing how to improve.
Each person designs one card and makes multiples of the same card to trade. These were the fabulous creations from our last swap:
Lillian Williamson
Kara Preston
Amy Minson
Kristi Kelly
Jenn Seaver
Beverly Benson
Heather Bakker
Pam Clyde
Michelle Scott
Krystal Owens
Mary McGill

(My swap was the 🍑 Peach card I shared in this post)
It’s a nice perk that demonstrators get to order before a catalog goes live, and our stamping friends truly enjoy exchanging ideas! There is always room for you: Would you like to join us?
You don’t have to be able to draw to be artistic: Rubber stamps are the tools that give you the creativity without the time and commitment of becoming a master!
The Hand-Penned Petals suite has stamps that appear hand-drawn, with two step-stamping images to “fill in” colors and hand-penned greetings.
Pair the stamps with the coordinating dies and Designer Series Paper and you’ll be creating keepsakes your friends will treasure for years to come. When you choose the suite of products, it includes the stamp set, dies, Designer Series Paper and Genial Gems embellishments!
TIPS: Create Customized Designer Series Paper to go with any project! Color areas or patterns of the paper with Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Write Markers, or watercoloring. This works especially well with black and white patterned papers
