First day of the NEW Stampin' Up! Catalog!

Contact me or your local SU demonstrator if you have any question.

Don't let this happen to you!!  If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, you can place your Sale-A-Bration order with me on my SU web site:  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/veronica_miller/

I saw this card by mum_of_2_2 on SCS and had to CASE it!  I love the colors and how she spolighted that sweet dancing bear from Under the Big Top stamp set.  The sentiment is from a retired set.  A Texturz plate was used to emboss the Perfect Plum card stock.  Elegant Eggplant, Blushing Bride, and Whisper White card stock were also used.  The dancing bear was colored with Watercolor Wonder crayons on watercolor paper.  Can you see the Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the folds of her tutu?

This stamp set, You're My Type, in the new Occasions mini catalog is one I really like.  It may not seem so versatile at first glance, but I see lots of possibilities with it.  This card is made with Pool Party and Island Indigo card stock, two of the current In Colors from Stampin' Up.  Lucky Limeade Classic ink, another In Color, was used to create the Rolling Marble background.  The heart was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder then punched with the Heart to Heart punch.

I can't really complain about our weather this winter.  It's been rainy and wet but we haven't had much snow or ice.  Yet, the dreary sky made me wish for spring so I chose pastels for this card -- Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, and Whisper White.  The polka dots are not ribbon or DSP but were stamped in Whisper White craft ink on Certainly Celery card stock.  The flower was cut and embossed with a retired Embosslit, the leaves cut with the Little Leaves Sizzlit, and the lace with the Eyelet border punch.  The center of the flower is a rhinestone brad.  The greeting is from the Short and Sweet set.  Card design CASEd from one posted to SCS by bon2stamp.

Welcome to the 10th stop on the SU STARS January blog hop!  If you are hopping along in order, you just left Raissa's blog Raissa Stamps where you saw her pretty Valentine.  A list of all the blogs in this month's hop can be found our our home blog.  This is our first hop in 2012 and the theme is Ebony and Ivory.  All project are Basic Black or Basic Gray and Whisper White or Very Vanilla.  Some projects may also have a pop of color.

I chose Basic Black and Very Vanilla for my project.  It is an thank you card CASEd from one I saw on SCS by Lisa Young. 

It features the Elegant Thank You ala carte stamp, Mocha Morning and Newsprint Designer Series papers, Chantilly crochet trim, Eyelet border, large oval, and corner punches.

Thanks for visiting today!  The next stop on our hop is Janice's blog where you'll see a lovely anniversary card.  Enjoy!!

I just love it when a quick and simple card is so pretty!  This one has a Poppy Parade card base and Everyday Enchantment DSP from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog.  (You can get this DSP free with a $50 purchase!)  The window was cut with the new heart Framelits in the Occasions mini catalog and the little heart was punched from the Heart to Heart punch.  A little rhinestone was added to the little heart to give it some bling.  The sentiment was stamped on the inside of the card in Basic Black and is from the Short and Sweet set.
