As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I am allowed to share my love of stamping, scrapping, and card making with so many people. I have been an avid crafter for many years and take pride in each and every one of my creations. Now I have jumped into the blogging world to share all of my fun with even more people. I manage to do all of this while holding down a full time job as a High School Mathematics Teacher. I even share my creations with my students.
Embossing folders are great to add depth and dimension to your products, but did you know that they can also be used as stamps? Let Andrea show you just some of the fun images you can create with embossing folders and ink.

Stampin' Up! is saying goodbye to retiring products from the 2014-2015 annual catalog, but before they do, they're giving everyone an opportunity to order their favorites with discounts up to 50 percent off retail. Retiring products will only be available until June 2, or while supplies last, so now's a great time to shop and get them before they're gone!
*Note: Due to high demand for retiring stamps, we'll keep producing retiring stamps until May 26 (not accessories-accessories are only while supplies last).

I saw these on Pinterest and said oh my I just have to make these. Guess what now my son will have two treats to take to school this Easter. The original one that I saw had the circle treat cup that Stampin' Up! carries in the design but I had some of the retired heart treat cups that I needed to use up so here is what I came up with.
Aren't these so adorable. All I did was punch two 2 1/2" circles, two large ovals, and then punched out the heart in one circle. Fill with candy, adhere together and FUN! Decorate with a stamp and a little bunny tail and you have a cute treat to brightens someones day this Easter.

I am getting a head start on getting treats ready for my son's third grade class for Easter. One would think that 3rd graders would flip over candy as a gift but no. These kids love pencils!! So I am always on the lookout for cool pencils that my son can give as gifts for holidays to his class. And to package pencils Stampin' Up! has the perfect cello bag that will fit two pencils. To decorate I must say I have a new favorite. I love the two new tag topper punches that are in the spring catalog. Here is how I threw together a quick and cute little treat for the kiddos at school.
I found cute little pencils with owls and hearts for the girls and robots for the boys. I lest some space on the tag for my son to write a note on there for his classmates. The kids will be so excited.

In getting ready for Easter, we will be making this two page layout at our next Scrappin' Meeting. These pages make use of some great spring colors in the Stampin' Up! subtles color collection.
I am definitely trying to get in the Spring spirit. We warmed up here in Alabama for a few days but we are getting set for yet another cool down. So I figure if mother nature won't help me out, Stampin' Up! will!! So I pulled out my Flower Fair Simply Scrappin' kit that I have been holding on to for a while and decided to get some spring cards made. I threw in a few sheets of Whisper White and some stamp sets that I already had and here is what I was able to create. To top it off I even had some DSP left when I finished these 10 cards. That means more can be made later :)
If you would like to have your very own Flower Fair Simply Scrappin' kit, then you are in luck but you have to act fast. The kit is currently on the clearance rack for only $6.39. When it is on the clearance rack it is only available while supplies last. So hurry HERE to order your very own kit and see what you can come up with.
Here is what is included in the kit: Includes 8 sheets of card stock, 2 of ea. color, 8-1/2" x 11"; 6 sheets double-sided paper, 3 of ea. design, 8" x 8"; 2 sheets card stock

The See Ya Later stamp set available in Sale-a-Bration this year has to be just one of the cutest set for card making out here. They are whimsical and cute. We will be using this set to make these four note cards at our monthly meeting Friday. These small 3x3 note cards are perfect for when you need that quick card to go with a gift.
These were cased from fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Dawn Griffith and they were too cute to not pass along.
