These are some of my favorite projects showcasing the Best year Ever Designer Paper and Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper  which you will only be able to get today.

For this treat bag I used the Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper which comes in white and I inked it up.  It's like the emboss resist but without all the work since the designer paper is all embossed for you.

This is a project my friend Rose gave me at Leadership this year and she showcased the Best Year Ever Designer Paper

This box was also made using the Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper  and inked with some gold ink.

A Step Card for Mother's Day

Hello friends,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I had a fun and creative weekend spending it with our Woo Hoo Stampers group in Santa Clarita.

Today's Step card is one we created using all Stampin' Up! products from the Occasions Catalog for Mother's Day.  I hope you like it and get inspired to start on those Mother's Day cards.

The fence is simply from the Bouquet Die which is available in the Occasions Catalog.  The grass was also created using the Fringe Scissors.  Cute fence right??  :)

To create this card you will need a 8-1/2 X 5-1/2 piece of card stock.  You will begin on the 5-1/2" side then measure to 2-1/2 and start the cutting blade at 1" on the vertical ruler of your paper trimmer and cut down to 6-3/8". Then you turn the card stock to the long side to score at the following inches and to the cut lines( 1", 2", 3-1/8", 4-1/4 all the way across and then lastly score at 6-3/8). Instructions given by Michelle Halleen my up up line:)

DL Art- March Linky 

Little Scrap Pieces- Show it off Saturday

My basket is pretty simple and it took me minutes to put together.  The egg die cuts came from the retired Backyard Dies but you can certainly use a oval die to create the eggs or yet again use some plastic eggs with some goodies inside:)

The handle is about 2" wide and I adhered the handle with some Fast Fuse.  I LOVE LOVE this die and is a Must have for sure! You can purchase the Berry Basket Die at my On-Line Store HERE.

I used a few punches and dies for this card.  Gosh, I was having trouble photographing this card since one of my cameras is not working and I photograph at night. I did use the Starburst Dies which I LOVE and a circle punch which I layered on top of the Starburst die cut.

I did use the Sketch from "Freshly Made Sketches" for this card. I used the Tiny Banner Punch to make the smaller banner and the paper snips for the larger banner.

New Stamp Release, Weekly Deals and Discontinued Blendabilities

Hello friends,
Today, I have some updates to share along with a fun card from Stampin' Up! showcasing the New Photopolymer stamp set "Just Kidding" item#140667.   You can check out his stamp and order at my On-line store.

Photopolymer  Stamp Set
Just Kidding #140667

Were many of you collecting the Blendabilities and loved them as much as I did? As many of you already know you were able to earn the Blendabilities for Free in the Sale-A-Bration catalog unfortunate, they will no longer be available.

If many of you remember back in February Stampin' Up! decided to turn off the order numbers for the entire line of markers after quality issues were discovered. As we've waited for the news unfortunately, they are not good news and not what were were all expecting.

It was just announced that the entire line of Blendabilities Markers is now discontinued. Not all markers are defective. In fact many are not, so the markers you have may be just fine. But the percent of those that were defective was growing, and Stampin' Up! realizes it's not in their best interest to offer products that do not meet their high quality standards. And the manufacturer is unable to correct the problem in a manner that would also provide us with a stable, long-term solution.

Q and A

Q: Will the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad (item #132708) and the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad Refill (item #133456) still be available for purchase?
A: Yes. These items will also be featured in this year’s annual catalog.

Q: What are the quality problems with this product?
A: When the tip is welded to the barrel, the welding process can leave microscopic (invisible) holes in the marker tip. This leads to accelerated evaporation of the alcohol in the ink.

Q: Are all Blendabilities markers defective?
A: No. Most Blendabilities markers work as intended. We ask that you use your best judgment to determine whether your product is in good condition or if you need a refund.

Q: Why did it take so long for Stampin’ Up! to discover this problem?
A: Over the months we’ve noticed quality issues with this product, but they were within normal tolerance. We’ve also received some great feedback and know that many of you have thoroughly enjoyed working with Blendabilities. However, when corrections and complaints became more and more frequent, we increased the sophistication of our quality testing. This led to discoveries that meant we had a serious problem with the product line. Although these are still great markers, our manufacturer is now reporting a 30 to 40 percent fail rate before they are shipped to Stampin’ Up!—which is unacceptable.

Q: If I selected Blendabilities as my Sale-A-Bration item and it is on backorder, do I have to choose another Sale-A-Bration item?
A: Yes. We have fourteen other Sale-A-Bration items from which to choose.

Q: Now that Blendabilities are no longer available as a Sale-A-Bration redemption item, will our remaining Sale-A-Bration items run out more quickly?
A: With Blendabilities no longer available as a Sale-A-Bration option, it is anticipated that the demand on other Sale-A-Bration items will be higher than forecasted. For that reason, all Sale-A-Bration items (with the exception of stamps) will now be “while supplies last.”

Q: What are the positives coming out of this?
A: We’ve learned that alcohol-based markers are very popular with our demonstrators and customers. Knowing that you’ve enjoyed all of the coloring options provided by alcohol-based markers helps us chart a course for finding a reliable product line that will truly meet the needs of our demonstrators and customers.

I purchased and received Blendabilities. They are defective. What do I do? Let your demonstrator know ASAP. The deadline for returns is currently June 15th.

The following products will no longer be unavailable:

Butterfly Basics Happy Birthday Card and Mojo Monday Challenge

Hello friends,
Did you get a great start to this week? Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's March! It's been a little crazy with work and my son's activities but found some time to craft.  What have you all been up to?

I thought I'd create a card to join in on the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge which it's been a long time since I've played.  I used a Occasions Catalog stamp and the dies from Stampin' Up! I hope you enjoy it and get inspired, thank you for stopping by today.

A closer look for you so you can see the embossing on the background using the Honeycomb Textured Folder. What about the lovely detail on the butterfly, don't you think it's pretty? I used the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set.

I used a In Color called Blackberry Bliss which I haven't used that much but I really need to use it more cause me LIKE it:)
