Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Here is my latest creation - a cute birthday card using our new awesome Cupcake Punch!! This is available starting next week from our new Occasions Mini Catalog. We will also be making this card at our Stamp Camp on January 15th from 10am to 1pm at my home. You can make 10 projects for just $20 and enjoy a lovely lunch and snacks as well. Demos in my downline are welcome to attend for just $10 (a 50% discount)! Please RSVP via stampersally@yahoo.com to let me know you are coming.

This card is the birthday invitation that my friend Naomi and I put together for her son's birthday. Aren't the colors perfect for a little boy? And who doesn't love aliens, right?

Cupcake Birthday Cards

Here is a photo of the cute Cupcake Birthday Cards / Thank-you cards that I made for my friend Tara's daughters. I love this stamp set and especially love the Chunky Glitter I used on the big red cherries!

MOPS Birthday Cards for Girls

Aren't these little birthday cards the sweetest? Sorry about the picture quality today - it's raining heavily outside right now and I just needed to get these posted as soon as possible. I just love the Tea Party Designer Series Paper and the Pink Taffeta ribbon on these cards for little (or big!) girls. I like them so much, that I was planning on making the monogram cards myself but decided instead to make these at our next meeting. And you all know how I love Urban Oasis paper!!

UPDATE: Fixed the photo by taking it today - love the sun - welcome back!

MOPS Birthday Cards for Boys

Here are two cute and simple Boy Birthday cards that will be part of a 4 card set for our next MOPS meeting on April 22nd. Aren't they easy and neat? We're adding booglie eyes to the crocodile, but I haven't put them on yet. I think they will really make this little guy pop don't you?

UPDATE: Added booglie eyes - LOVE THEM!

Birthday Card that can Morph into a Thank You Card!

I had a huge A-HA moment this morning when I made this card...and it happened on accident. As I was doing the final assembly for the card, I put everything down with adhesive, but forgot to adhere the saying with anything except the mini library clip. Then I realized - "Hey!" - this card could be used for anything and I could make different labels up that had different sentiments and then just choose the appropriate one when an occasion rolled around. Awesome, eh? Did anyone else think of this already?

Remember to place your order for over $50 soon - Sale-A-Bration is almost over! You'll also receive the materials to make my Photo Folder with your order - hooray! Also, blog candy will be offered to one of my lucky followers tomorrow - be sure to sign up now if you haven't!!

Birthday Card

This Birthday card is so cute and simple - I found a Thank You card like this in our most recent edition of Stampin' Success Magazine (the mag that demos receive monthly) and just had to try it out for myself. It was so easy! I think we'll do it for club next month, just so everyone can give it a shot.

Goody Goody Ice Cream Sundae

Here is a card that I saw a similar one to on Splitcoast and changed a few things. I changed to Old Olive DSP, added Crystal Effects to the cherry on top, and added a cute pink taffeta ribbon to the card. I think it really works, don't you?

Remember to place your Sale-A-Bration orders soon - the free merchandise for every $50 spent lasts until March 31st!

Cupcake Birthday - Love this Set!

I just love this set - Crazy for Cupcakes, and the new Good Morning Sunshine Designer paper. It's so versatile - it can be for a boy or girl, depending on which pattern you choose. I made this card for a little boy in David's class who is having his birthday on Feb. 20th...and David gets to go play while (I believe) his Dad and I get to go have dinner together. I can't imagine a better arrangement, can you?

Retro Fresh Cupcake!

Howdy, everybody! Can I just say how excited I am about the new dies that are in the Spring-Summer Idea Book & Catalog? You are going to see some amazing projects in the next weeks using these dies - I have had so much fun making them.

In addition, remember that Sale-A-Bration has started, which means fantastic items FREE with every increment of $50 that you purchase. So, if you collect orders that total $150, you get 3 FREE SAB products, a Level I Hostess Set, and $15 in FREE merchandise - and a FREE Idea Book! It's a great time to have a catalog party!

Birthday Card #3

This is the third card in my series of 3 Birthday cards that you can get the supplies for FREE if you place a $50 order on my Stampin' Up! website. Isn't this card perfect for a little (or big!) girl's birthday? It uses Pretty in Pink and Close to Cocoa. I just love the striped grossgrain ribbon - it ties perfectly every time. Can you tell? I use it on almost every card now!

Brithday Card #2

Here is the second of three birthday cards made with Party Hearty...you'll get the supplies to make these with your $50 order - hurry, this promotion ends on Halloween! The little Bashful Blue scalloped piece is an insert that you can pull out with the ribbon tab. Wouldn't this be a cute way to do your Christmas Cards and include a photo?

Birthday Card #1

This card is the first of three cards that will be posted using the Pearty Hearty set, which is on sale this month for 20% off. This set is perfect for all Birthday occasions, both for card makers and scrapbookers (includes a cupcake - required, don't you think? - birthday tag shape, party hat border, several sayings, and small package image for backgrounds). As Wheezie on Dragon Tales says, "LOOOOOOVE IT!" Can you tell I have a preschooler?
