A weekend holiday making Valentine's cards

Here is a set of projects I made using a tutorial from Chat Wszelaki at Me, My Stamps and I.

They were all made using the Hearts a Flutter Bundle (131097) and More Amore Specialty Designer Paper (129309) from the Spring catalog. There's also some other beautiful items added in from the Spring catalog such as the Paper Doilies (129399), Designer Builder Brads (129329) and Bitty Butterfly Punch (129406).

I love these brads!

Do you still need a Spring Catalog? 

Let me know and I will get it to you along with a Sale-a-bration brochure.

Last weekend I drove down to Santa Barbara and stamped with my daughter, her husband Rick and my sister Theresa.

 Here is Michaela and Rick making their first cards!

And here's my sister Theresa working on her card.  My sister is a very talented stamper and she just signed up as a new demonstrator!

It was nice taking some time off to spend with family.

Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! products or want to know how to join the fun.

Hugs and blessings,

Angela

Color Tutorial

I truly love how easy Stampin' Up! makes coordinating colors.  If you are new to Stampin' Up!, you will learn to love it too. 

This is a tutorial I put together showing how it works.

I will have that dimensions of the cards I made posted later.

Let me know if you have any questions. I will be posting more videos especially for beginners, so be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Hugs and blessings, Angela

Celebrating 21,401 page views

I just checked my blog views and saw I've got over 21,000 views! Time to celebrate!

Who would have thought my little blog would have over 21,000 blog views...now 21,401. So awesome.

I remember being so nervous when I first started blogging. Okay, I still get nervous, but that's because I'm a perfectionist. But wow, I'm so really thrilled to have a real live blog going.

The secret has been being part of the PAL community. What is a PAL? A PAL is someone under Mary Fisher's Stampin' Up demonstrator team. I signed up with her in May 2012 and here I am today with 21,401 blog views!

I am now going to give a shout out to anyone who would like to be on my Kindred Stampers team which makes you automatically a PAL too! If you're not sure what I'm talking about, basically you pay $99 for a starter kit, choose $125 of cool Stampin Up products and get a 20% discount on future purchases. Pretty easy.

Plus starting on January 22, you'll get an extra 25% of cool stuff of your choice to add to your starter kit. Oh, and you don't pay shipping for any of this. Woo hoo!

If you join the Kindred Stampers team, I'm here for you.  No matter what your goals are, I'm here to support you 100%. It's totally okay to sign up as a hobby demonstrator and never sell a single product to anyone. You'll get no pressure from me. But if you want to make some extra money, I'll show you how to do that too.

In summary,

The starter kit is awesome.
You choose what you want
You get free shipping
AND
Starting January 22, you get 25% more of whatever YOU want.

Stampin' Trimmer Review & First YouTube

I made my first YouTube video! 

I decided to make it so you could see me talking rather than just showing my hands demonstrating a project.

I realized that I really like making videos. Maybe it's from my singing background.  I took voice lessons for about 10 years and was even on stage as a fairy in a Gilbert and Sullivan  production of Iolanthe for the Lamplighters in San Francisco. Yes, I was about (x!?xx) pounds lighter than I am now, but I can still remember some of the songs!

Here's my video.

It's a review of the new Stampin' Trimmer.  If you don't have this trimmer yet, get it NOW! It's wonderful!

Happy Retirement Barbara!

My friend and co-worker named Barbara retired last week.

We had a very nice party for her and I was commissioned to make a special card for her.

I thought all weekend about it and came up with a "card album".

It's actually a pedestal card with a mini album adhered to the top.

 

 The mini album has pages for people to write comments.  To make the album, I used the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder on Baja Breeze and cut using the Top Note Bigz Die. I then accordian folded it to fit the small pieces of Whisper White inserts which were stamped with a variety of sentiments.

And the inside of the main section of the card also had room for writing.
(You'll just have to trust me on that because I forgot to take a picture of the inside of the main card.)

Happy Retirement Barbara!
