Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in. I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.
It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match. It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!
The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies. You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles. What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame! See it here in the online store.
Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first. Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center. Then huff and stamp. Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.
I shared my retired BOGO items for sale on FB Live last week. There are over 100 items left; mostly stamps, dies, bundles and embossing folders. You can see the video here on YouTube. However the most updated list is in the album here on my FB page. *I update & delete items as they are sold.
This sale will stay open through August 14th. If you have a list of current Stampin' Up! items you want to buy why not double dip and get lots more free with this BOGO?!
I chose to use Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy & Bermuda Bay. It's available as a kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial here. The tutorial includes directions for 4 different sets of cards; all using this wonderful template.
The kit to go is the best deal; it includes the stamp set, printed template on White CS & the pre-cut cards. Contact me here to order it.
I have a ton of Valentine's swaps I want to share with you too. Most of these are made by my stamping friends. I cannot give credit to all of them as their post-it or business card was lost as my local customers browsed through them.
My friend Susie Wood made this adorable Hello Ladybug card. She used the Checks & Dots embossing folder on the Red layer.
This cute card lost it's post-it so I cannot give credit. I love how the panels are cut apart but the Sweet Talk designer paper still shows it's pattern.
This next card is so cute!! It was also made by my friend Susie Wood. I love the chalkboard effect of stamping on Black with White Craft ink. Nuts & Bolts is the stamp set & the Gingham embossing folder was used on the background.

There will be a change in Paper Pumpkin pricing going forward. Here's what Stampin' Up! has recently stated:
Despite Covid’s continued strain on the global economy, Stampin’ Up! has been working diligently to maintain the lowest possible price for our Paper Pumpkin subscription box, including absorbing costs to prevent price increases. However, as we continue to see greater cost increases to raw materials, shipping, and overhead, we have made the decision to increase pricing in order to maintain the high quality and value of the monthly kit. On 1 March 2022, Paper Pumpkin kits will see a slight increase in price.
But, there is a way to get the current prices for Paper Pumpkin and save money going forward. Prepaid codes–both redeemed and unredeemed–purchased before the 1 March price change will maintain their full value. No additional payment will be required.
So here's my suggestion for you:
Purchase a pre-paid subscription in February for 3 month, 6 months, or 12 months and get it at the current lower price for that entire time period! Go here to order yours.
Plus with a pre-paid subscription you can earn free Sale-a-Bration choices at the same time. It's a WIN WIN choice!
And besides the free Sale-a-Bration choice you'll also receive free gifts (Gingham embossing folder & a calendar kit!) from me with your online order in February. See details below.
