English Ivy Personalized for Mom

I created this personalized stationery for my Mom using the English Ivy Simple Sentiments found on the Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack. This Birthday gift was so easy to make! Send a personalized handwritten note or create a pack of personalized stationery as a gift. You will receive:
• 20 lightweight sheets (5-5/16" x 7-3/4") and 10 standard (5-1/2" x 4") envelopes
• Pattern on sheets and inside envelopes coordinate
• Custom edge on envelope flap
The colors are Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake.

The clearance price is $3.99.

This is the stationary package before being personalized. The envelopes have such a lovely scallped edge:
I added the antique car image from the Hostess set - Postage Collection. I had a personalized return address stamp created for my Mom years ago when I started creating her Christmas cards for her. She sends out between 40-50 hand-written Christmas cards each year!

She will just love this personalized stationery because, yes, she still sends out hand-written notes.

You can order this stationery through my online store:

Spring into Stampin'

Welcome to the Pals February Blog Hop. This month we are excited to share with you what we love about Stampin' Up! - our stamps, tools, accessories and techniques.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Brian King at Stamp with Brian on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you can see all of the amazing creations.

Brrrrr! It has been below zero for days here in Montana, so all I can think of is Spring time when the daffodils start to peek out of the ground and the temperature is a bit warmer. Spring also brings all of those pretty pastel colors - the inspiration for my project.

I want to Share What I Love by showing you a great way to use the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and the Spiral Flower Originals Die.

I filled a 3x5 cellophane bag with yummy treats and wrapped it with Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Catalog (P. 23). I used a 2"x11" strip of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock to create the center band. First I ran it through an embossing folder and then I punched each end using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, also from the Occasions Catalog (P. 35). I tied it all up with Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon. Just smashing!

To create this beautiful flower using the Spiral Flower Originals Die, use two colors of card stock: Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush. (You can feed several layers of card stock through the Big Shot with this particular die.) These flowers seemed intimidating to me at first, but I found that using tweezers to start the rolling makes it so much easier. You simply grab the small end of the flower with your tweezers and twirl it around the tweezers until you get to the end. Add some two-way glue, and Voila'.  I couldn't help but place a large pearl in the center and then fill it in with chunky glitter. I love glitter! This will make the perfect gift - don't you agree?

Thank you for taking a peek and for allowing me to Share What I Love!! I hope to see you next month.

The next stop is Shannon Hokanson at Paper Works.

Have a beautiful day,

Janice

Banner Blast

Hello my stampin' friends. This card includes a combination of products from the new Occasions Catalog and the Sale-a-bration mini catalog. The card base is Calypso Coral with a layer of embossed Pool Party at the top. The embossing folder is Decorative Dots and available as one of the gifts you can choose during Sale-a-bration.

The bottom portion of the card features the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper found in the Occasions catalog. The banners were created using the Banner Blast stamp set and coordinating punch also available in the Sale-a-bration catalog as our gift to you. Or, you can choose the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack which includes the twine I've added to this card.

Sweet Sorbet Stampin' to you,

See Ya Later Stamp Set

Hello and Happy Birthday to ME!!  Today is my Birthday and I made myself a card. Yes, as a Stampin' Up! Creative Coach, I am entitled to make cards for ME!!

But, today, it's all about FREE. I created this cutesy card using the "See Ya Later" stamp set which you can choose as a gift during Sale-a-bration. For each $50 you purchase, you can choose a free gift from the Sale-a-bration catalog.

I just love this color combination. For the card base, I used Baked Brown Sugar. Then I added a layer of Real Red and topped it off with a sheet of Coastal Cabana from the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (Occasions Catalog).

The balloons are part of the Big Wish stamp set (Occasions Catalog). I added just a wee bit of Baker's Twine for the balloon strings.

So, Happy Birthday to ME and wishing you a beautiful day, too.

Janice
