Our Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip Achievers get together each month for a Blog Hop! I’m blessed with great customers and downline who helped me achieve this year’s (AND the extended!) Maui trip!  May’s blog hop theme is ANYTHING CURRENT!

FOREVER FERN BUNDLE

This beautiful Forever Fern bundle is a pre-order for Demos this month…and it is absolutely a GORGEOUS set!  You’ll definitely want to add this to your list!  I wanted to do something a little different than the blues and greens I’ve been seeing.  So…how about gray and red?

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The 3-1/2 x 5-1/4 piece of Smoky Slate cardstock was embossed with the new Greenery Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • A 2-3/4 x 4-1/4 piece of From My Heart Designer Paper was added across the front.
  • The Whisper White rectangle was cut from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and added diagonally on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The Hello greeting from Forever Fern was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the upper right corner.
  • The fern from Forever Flourishing Dies was cut from Smoky Slate cardstock and adhered with Monoadhesive Glue.
  • A trio of Red Holiday Rhinestones were added in the background.

A very simple card, really…but I love how it turned out…so striking!  If you need any supplies to recreate this project, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store!  Remember, the Forever Fern Bundle and Greenery Embossing Folder won’t be available until June 3 to order.  This month, please use my current Host code for orders under $150. $150 or more, keep the host rewards for yourself!  PLUS, as a THANK YOU from me, get a FREE package of Holiday Rhinestones for orders of $50 or more this month when you use my HOST CODE!  Will be mailed separately.

Our Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip Achievers get together each month for a Blog Hop! I’m blessed with great customers and downline who helped me achieve this year’s Maui trip! March’s blog hop theme is ANYTHING CURRENT!

THOUGHTFUL BLOOMS

This FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Thoughtful Blooms, will be going away SOON!  It is one of the options you get for FREE with a $50 purchase!  The coordinating punch is also available with a $100 purchase!  Combined, they are SOOOO sweet!

It’s SPRING and our weather in Ohio is finally warming up!  A few little crocuses have popped their heads up through the ground, so I was inspired by their bright colors!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Daffodil Delight cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Whisper White cardstock is embossed with another FREE SAB product, the Stone Embossing Folder.
  • The Gorgeous Grape Striped Ribbon was wrapped around the Whisper White and tied in a bow, then added to the base card.
  • A 1-3/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Flowering Foils Designer Paper (yep…another FREE selection!) was colored with Light & Dark Granny Apple Green Blends, then added to a 2 x 5-1/2 piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock.
  • The flowers from Thoughtful Blooms stamp set were stamped with Daffodil Delight and Gorgeous Grape Inks on scrap Whisper White, then punched with the Small Bloom Punch and added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • In the center are some Nobel Peacock small Rhinestone jewels.
  • Thank You from Thoughtful Blooms was stamped with Gorgeous Grape Ink on scrap Whisper White and punched with the 1″ Circle Punch, then layered on the 1-1/8 Scallop Circle Punch punched from Gorgeous Grape cardstock, then added on front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Another Nobel Peacock Rhinestone was added on top.

Well, I didn’t start out thinking that I’d use all these FREE Sale-A-Bration products on one card, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!  If you need any supplies to recreate this project, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store! This month, please use my current Host code for orders under $150. $150 or more, keep the host rewards for yourself! AND…it is Sale-A-Bration time!

PLUS, as a THANK YOU from me, get a FREE package of Rhinestones for orders of $50 or more this month when you use my HOST CODE! Will be mailed separately.

Our Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip Achievers get together each month for a Blog Hop! I’m blessed with great customers and downline who helped me achieve this year’s Maui trip! January’s blog hop theme is ANYTHING CURRENT!

HEARTFELT

Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I’ve switched out my Christmas displays for Valentine displays in my home!  Here’s a little banner that I put together to go on a basket that sits up on my kitchen cabinets!  I make different banners for different holidays.

 

Stampin’ Details:

  • The banner pieces are the second from largest Stitched Nested Label Dies cut from DSP backing board, then covered with the From My Heart Designer Paper on top using Monoadhesive Glue.
  • A 1/8″ hole is punched in the top of the labels.
  • The Large Letters of I and U were cut with the Large Letter Dies (on the Clearance Rack in the US!!!  Grab them before they are gone, they are one of the BEST investments!) from Basic Black cardstock and added to the labels with Foam Strips.
  • Three Red Rhinestone were added to each of the letters.
  • For the center label, the Flirty Flamingo Heart Doily is added first.
  • The Scallop Heart was punched from Basic Black and added to the doily with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The arrow from Heartfelt Stamp Set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White cardstock, hand-cut and added to the Scallop Heart.
  • The red dotted heart and From My Heart greeting in the Heartfelt stamp set are stamped with Real Red Ink on Whisper White cardstock.  It was punched with the Solid Heart Punch, then added on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A From My Heart Feceted Gem is added next to the greeting for a little more bling.
  • The Grapefruit Grove Twine from Nature’s Twine was knotted thru the holes with some extra on the sides for tying.

Here’s the basket that the banner is tied to on my cabinets!  If you need any supplies to recreate this project, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store! This month, please use my January Host code for orders under $150. $150 or more, keep the host rewards for yourself!  AND…it is Sale-A-Bration time!  Choose a Level 1 gift with every $50 purchase, or Level 2 for $100 purchase.  PLUS, as a THANK YOU from me, get a FREE package of Champagne Rhinestones for orders of $50 or more this month!

July 2019 – Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop

By | 1 Comment

 

Time for our monthly Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop! The theme this month is New Annual Catalog or current special! I’m still working myself thru all the new sets I purchased, but Inspiring Iris is one of my favorites!

I made these pendants for some special people I ran into on the Greek Isles Incentive Trip.  I loved how they turned out!  You are here at my blog, Connie Babbert, and you can continue around to all the blog hop stops by clicking on the name under mine on the list at the bottom of this post.

INSPIRING IRIS

 

Of course, the packaging is just as important as the gift, right?  I used the Woven Threads Designer Paper and new In Colors, Terracotta Tile and Seaside Spray, along with the new embossing folder, Eyelet Lace, and new Delightful Tag Topper punch.  I also added a little Made with Love charm to the clasp.

I hope the recipients enjoy wearing them as much as I liked making them!  If you need any supplies to recreate this project, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store! Please use my July Host code.

June 2019 – Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop

By | 3 Comments

 

Time for our monthly Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop! The theme this month is New Annual Catalog! There are SO many products in the new catalog that I absolutely LOVE…it is hard just choosing one to feature!  You are here at my blog, Connie Babbert, and you can continue around to all the blog hop stops by clicking on the name under mine on the list at the bottom of this post.

RIDE WITH ME 

I knew I had to get the Ride With Me stamp set and Truck Dies immediately when I saw the new catalog…it was first on my list!  For this one, I added a wood crate in the bed of the stamped truck for a little different look!  I didn’t use the dies at all.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • Two 3/4 x 5-1/4 pieces of Soft Suede Neutrals 6×6 DSP were added to the top and bottom of a 3 x 5-1/4 piece of Soft Suede cardstock, then added to the front.
  • A 3/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Crumb Cake was stamped with the Pick You Up greeting in Memento Black Ink and added to the front.
  • The largest Stitched Shape Oval was cut from Whisper White and added to the front.
  • The truck from Ride With Me was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Poppy Parade, Smoky Slate, Light Pool Party, and Light Basic Black Blends.  The truck was hand-cut and added to the oval with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The boards for the back of the truck were cut from Soft Suede cardstock and adhered.
  • A few Gold Metallic Pearls were added to the background.

SOOO fun!  I love the red truck home decor that you see everywhere, and Stampin’ Up! is quite on trend!  If you need any supplies to recreate this card, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store!  Please use my June Host code.

April 2019 – Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop

By | 1 Comment

 

Time for our monthly Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop! The theme this month is New Catalog products.  Those that were at OnStage will have some sneak peeks, but I wasn’t able to attend.  I am using a stamp set and punch that WILL carryover to the new catalog, Butterfly Gala!  We waited forever for it, didn’t we?  You are here at my blog, Connie Babbert, and you can continue around to all the blog hop stops by clicking on the name under mine on the list at the bottom of this post.

BUTTERFLY GALA

I used a special fun fold on my card, too!  The front panel is narrower than the base and folds up!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 Night of Navy cardstock.
  • I cut a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Melon Mambo cardstock.
  • The Whisper White panel is cut 3 x 5-3/4, then scored at 1/2″.  The 1/2″ flap is placed behind the Melon Mambo layer and the entire layer adhered to the base Night of Navy cardstock.
  • A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Neutrals DSP (Night of Navy stripe) was added to the front of the Whisper White panel.
  • The greeting from Butterfly Gala was stamped with Night of Navy on Whisper White cardstock, then cut with the Stitched Labels Framelits (YES!  These are in the NEW catalog!)  It was placed on the front panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The butterflies from Butterfly Gala were stamped with Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight Inks and punched with the Butterfly Duet Punch.
  • The bodies of the butterflies were stamped with Night of Navy Ink.  They were popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots were added to the bodies of the butterflies for a little bling.
  • Inside, one of the extra little butterflies was added.  It is hidden by the flap on front.

 

Aren’t those butterflies SO sweet?  I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store!
