Stampin Up! Digital Downloads released 01/24/12

Here are the latest 4 downloads available for your digital crafting. Remember that, although designed for Myt Digital Studio, these images and files can be used in any software that can handle .png files. Another great detail? Digital files don't pay shipping fees :)

The Oh Baby Photobook template contains a 24 page photo-book (sized 8x8), 28 piece stamp brush set, 9 Designer Series Paper patterns and 14 embellishments. Wouldn't this be a great way to share photos of your baby with friends and family? Create once and print as many as you need! (#129350, $17.95)

Our Grand Soiree set would be beautiful to use for wedding or formal invitations. I imagine these images look lovely on invitations for a formal tea party, Quinceañera or Sweet Sixteens! (5 pieces, #129353, $3.95)

Available as a rubber stamp set in our Occasions Mini catalog, you can now get these Candy Conversation hearts as digital images. Did you know that when our stamped images coordinate with punches, even the digital images will insert the correct size? This way, you can print out the image and still use it with the punch. Brilliant! (item#129345, 12 pieces, $5.95)


The Wild About You template provides you with a 10 piece stamp brush set, 6 embellishments along with the template for your envelopes and tags. Imagine how cute it would be to add your own touch and have the coolest valentines in the class! Just be careful, you may become the "go-to girl" for the PTO! ( #129351, $4.95)

DivaSC172 Fresh Vintage Friendly Phrases

Get your motor running and your stamps inked up, it's time for our weekly Utah Divas sketch challenge.

This one is easy... c'mon - you can do it! This one is so easy, you can mix another challenge into it. This time, I challenged myself to NOT use my Big Shot. Which, in hindsight, was not smart. I think I'm going to need a 12 step program if we ever stop selling the Big Shot...


Ok, it's not bad. The flower image, from our free Sale-a-bration set Fresh Vintage, is so pretty. And isn't it cute topped off with the Tangerine Tango flower? What about those Mini Silver Brads - adorable! But doesn't it NEED texture on the Whisper White layer? This is me staring at the card:

o_0

must.... have... texture.....

Stampin' Up! Leadership Swaps

This week is the Annual Stampin' Up! Leadership Seminar. This year it is being held in San Antonio,  so you know what that means.... we get to talk stamping and eat yummy food! A winning combination, if you ask me!

One of the many highlights of our company's gatherings is that we get the opportunity to interact with other Demonstrators and share business and creative ideas. The following 2 cards are ones I made to swap with others; swaps are a great way to attain projects sharing a variety of styles and samples of new merchandise!

This first card features a new stamp set, PS I Love You along with a new ribbon, Blushing Bride Pleated ribbon. And for the record... I am in love with our Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper. So glad it's in the Idea Book & Catalog and available through June. *sigh of relief*

This second card uses two Sale-a-bration items: Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper and it's coordinating Ribbon/Brad pack. The letter was die cut using excess chipboard and our Bigz Alphabet Simple Letters. I love how the DSP and embellishments look on the Poppy Parade card base. FUN!


If you are interested in Stampin' Up! as a business, contact me and let me know. We have a wonderful promotion coming up with Sale-a-bration and I would love to share the fun and excitement of the business with you. Our starter kit is always a good investment, but from January 24th through March 31, 2012,  you will save $50 off the price of the kit and receive your choice of either a free paper pack or digital download every month for the rest of the year. Check it out.


 Always within reach: Tabletop Paper Cutter (106959), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), Paper Snips (103579), Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner (102394), Stampin' Scrub (102642)

DivaSC171 PS I Love You Hearts

Tammy has provided the Utah Divas with another great sketch to try. Will you play along?

The line going through the hearts reminded me of stitching, but I was too lazy to get the sewing machine out so I improvised with a Paper Piercing tool and pens!

Notes:
  • After piercing holes around the perimeter of the Baja Breeze layer, I used a Signo White Gel Pen to connect the dots. Faux stitching is so much easier to keep straight than the real thing ;)
  • All of the hearts were punched out using our Heart to Heart punch. The top 3 were punched out from a scrap of Marina Mist card stock in my scrap bin. It had previously been run through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka dots folder; it didn't work for that project, but I like the texture it adds to this one!
  • The 2 Baja Breeze hearts on the bottom are faux stitched onto the Whisper White layer. This time, I used a Marina Mist Stampin' Write Marker as the "thread".
  • Sharon Field has a great tutorial on how to make mulit-loop bows. -->see Sharon's ribbon tutorial here.
But first, don't forget to check out what the Utah Divas sketch team has created. For pics of the projects and links to their individual sites for details, visit the UDI blog. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

DivaSC170 Aviary


 Ready to play with a sketch today? This month Tammy Fite has provided the Utah Divas with some great sketches. Remember, to see more ideas and for the links to Utah Divas blogs, you can visit the Utah Divas Int'l blog. We hope you'll play along!


 I just received a shipment of Occasions Mini supplies and couldn't wait to play with our new Twitterpated Designer Series Paper (item#125406). If you are not familiar with the word, twitterpated means to be completely enamored with someone/something. I believe that is how you will feel about this paper once you get some in your hot little hands and see all of the great patterns on it! And how about that pleated ribbon? *Swoon* Ahem... back to work.


So when I created this card, my plan was to use different bird cages from the Aviary stamp set (clear mount item #120462). Except I stamped the legs of the cages too close together so I had to improvise! (Notice I didn't say that I messed up...not exactly...) So what's a stamper to do? I stamped the slimmest cage 3 times and used my Paper Snips to trim the height. After that I just had to use "wish big" for the sentiment; it fits!


Thanks for stopping by!






Supply Details:
Stamps: Aviary
Ink: Basic Gray, Rose Red
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Gray, Twitterpated Designer Series Paper
Tools: 3/4" and 1" circle punches
Embellishments: Basic Gray Satin Ribbon, Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon, Jewels Basic Pearl
Always within reach: Tabletop Paper Cutter (106959), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), Paper Snips (103579), Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner (102394), Stampin' Scrub (102642)

Sudsol Sketch Challenge

I've just begun the year as the scrapbook challenge coordinator over at Sudsol. :)
I'll have to learn how to inspire others to play along, but at least for now I'll be getting some pages of my own completed! Here's this week's sketch, if you would like to play along!


My sample page is actually one I completed a couple of years ago. Gosh, my boys have grown!


If you are a demonstrator and are interested in joining a group of demos who share business and creative ideas on a regular basis, Sudsol just may be the group for you. Click the blinking Sudsol banner in my sidebar for a free trial membership. You'll be amazed at the amount of information available!
