My favorite, favorite, favorite product in Sale-a-Bration's Second Release is the Country Floral Embossing Folder. I don't use embossing folders nearly as often as I should. But this folder is so incredible, it's an amazing card just on it's own. The best part of the folder is you get it FREE!!! You can earn this folder free with only a $50 order when you shop my Online Store here. I shared this card yesterday on my Facebook Live and shared how to color it using our Stampin' Blends. If you're interested in my upcoming Stampin' Blends Class RSVP for it today, the deadline is quickly approaching! You can watch the video for all about how I colored this amazing folder. Remember Sale-a-Bration products are only available while supplies last, don't wait to get this folder FREE!!!
At my team meeting I always share dome demos. At our last meeting I focused on techniques you can do with your reinders. If you're interested in joining my team Sale-a-Bration is a great time to join, how about $175 in product for only $99!!!! Contact me for more info or sign up here. Today I'm sharing the last of three techniques I demoed. This one was fun and I loved the tye-dyed results. Start with some glossy cardstock and add some drops of reinker directly to the cardstock. Then immediately spritz with water and watch the magic. You end up with amazing patterns. Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!!

Today I'm sharing the second of three techniques I demoed. Today I'm sharing Polished Stone. I LOVE this technique, it's been around a while and I love the look of it! To create this background I used a rubbing alcohol soaked cotton ball and added 2-3 drops of 2 different colors of reinker. I used Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo for these. I also added a couple drops of our Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint. Dab and pounce the cotton ball all over some glossy cardstock and you have a marble like background. So pretty!!!!

Today I'm sharing the first of three techniques I demoed. Wax Paper Watercolor is mouthful but it's a fun technique. Lay out a piece of wax paper and squeeze some reinkers onto it. Spritz well with water and then press watercolor (you really HAVE to use watercolor paper) onto it. The colors blend and move on their own an you're left with amazing backgrounds. I finished this card with the Let It Ride set. I stamped the horse then used my Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blend to color it in for a silhouette look. It's a stunning card!
I had a team meeting last week and these are my teams swaps. I love them! They are a talented group! I always welcome new members of my team and we have so much fun! Now is a great time to join and get $175 for only $99!!! That's an incredible deal! Join now!
I have another sample from the Painted Seasons Bundle. I love this one! I used Mango Melody for the flower and Old Olive for the leaves. I used the DSP as well and finished the card with some of the Flax Ribbon from the Occasions Catalog. I love this card! So pretty! Last week I held a team meeting and this was my swap. To see the rest of my teams swaps check my blog tomorrow. I have the best team and their swaps were incredible! Now is a great time to join my team! Join here!
Yesterday I shared this card on my Facebook Live. I love this card and I have been playing with the new Painted Seasons Bundle and I love it sooooo much! The Painted Season bundle is in Stampin' Up! Second Release of Sale-a-Bration and will be available to earn free beginning on Friday! However if you need it now, consider joining my team. You can add it to your starter kit until February 14. After that the only way to get it will be to earn it. It's a Level 2 item which means you will have to spend $100 to get it free. In the bundle you get the stamp set and DSP. Both are amazing! For all the details on this card and more check out my video.
At my class I always give fun thank you gifts to my guests. I appreciate that they're taking time out of their days to spend a little of it with me. I saw this box by Angie Juda and made my own version of the box to fit some yummy Valentine Oreos!
The measurements for my box are simple. You start with a piece of cardstock that is 3 1/4"x 11". On the 11" side you score at 2", 3", 5" and 6". I added lots of pops of color using the Happiness Blooms DSP. I love how bright and fun this box is!
Over the weekend I held my Best Of The Occasions Class. This class focused on somw of my favorite and fun products in the Occasions Catalog. First up is the Be Mine Framelits, though at first glance they look like they're a Valentine product these hearts are so much more! They can be used year round! We paired them with a sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthdays and it's a fabulous birthday card.
I love the Time For Tea set. I love even more the Tea Time Framelits that you can earn foe free during Sale-a-bration! Not only did we feature the Tea Time set on this card but the scallop border was made using the Be Mine Framelits again! The greeting is from Home To Roost, another great Sale-a-bration option!
Incredible Like You is one of my favorite sets in the Occasions catalog. I love the greetings and the beautiful flower. I love this card! It's simple, beautiful and fun!
Finally, no Occasions Catalog Class would be complete without featuring the Happy Tails Bundle. If you're a dog lover you need this bundle! I love this set so much, I've had the most fun playing with it!
I'm super excited to offer this class, I've had lots of questions about Stampin' Blends and this class will answer them all and more! We'll discuss the markers, how to blend seamlessly using different techniques and more! You'll make 2 completed cards and leave with LOTS of sample sheets. At the class you'll receive the All That You Are Stamp Set and three sets of Blends. Recommended colors (to coordinate with the make and takes) for the blends are Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch and Granny Apple Green. If you already have these colors you can substitute them for other colors or for an item of equal value.
This class will be held on Thursday, March 7 at 5:30pm at the Starbucks on 12th and I40 in Albuquerque, NM. The cost for the class is $50, that includes the stamp set, three sets of Stampin' Blends and your choice of any Level 1 Sale-a-Bration item! Payment is due at time of registration. Seats are limited so RSVP early to guarantee your spot!
Optional add ons for the class:

Whisper White Cardstock
Any of these products can be added on to receive at the class. Last day to RSVP for this class is February 22 or when capacity is reached. Don't wait email me today stamperrdn@q.com to sign up for this class!!!
Yesterday I shared this card where I used the Just Because host exclusive set. I have another card using that set today. I love these big images! I used the same colors of Stampin' Blends to color this card as I did in yesterday's card. I made this card into a Z Fold Card. To make a z fold use a piece of cardstock that is 11"x4 1/4", score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". Fold your card in half as normal on the 5 1/2" score line then fold the other score line in the opposite direction making a Z. I finished this card with some Calypso Coral DSP and ribbon.
Yesterday on my Facebook Live I made this ADORABLE pocket card featuring the Just Because Host Stamp Set. Do you know that you don't have to host a class or workshop to get host only products? Anytime you put in an order of $150+ you earn Stampin' Rewards. Hostess products can only be bought using Stampin' Rewards so it's a win/win!!
The Just Because Host Set in the Occasions Catalog is one of my favorites! I love the images and sentiments! It's a great set to have on hand. I love the look of them colored with our Stampin' Blends too. For all the details on this card and how I made it check out my video below.
I over looked the Tea Together stamp set in the Occasions Catalog. I've since changed my mind and it's a keeper! I love the simple images and I love even more that there are coordinating framelits you can earn free from Sale-a-bration! The line images are perfect to color but if you're running short on time you can create a gorgeous tea pot just by using our amazing DSP. I stamped mine on the Floral Romance DSP and added a flower in Poppy Parade punched with the Bitty Blooms punch to add a pop of color.
I am so in LOVE with the Flowring Desert set. I shared, this bunny last week. I came up with this stinkin' cute penguin to share too. I used the cacti pieces to create him and the rock and roll technique for his belly and head. I didn't want ink on his belly so I rocked and rolled the stamp only inking the edges. I did the same with the head, and only inked the bottom so that I could stamp the eyes and beak without stamping over black ink. If you love this stamp set as much as me make sure you get this months Class To Go featuring this set! Get all the details here.
