For the Birds with Deb Valder

Hidy Ho Stampers,

Yes, it DID snow this morning but I'm forging forward and stamping SPRING!  :0)  So I'm using the set from Stampin' Up! called "For the Birds" and I'm going to use a technique called "paper piecing".

I used it on my calendar.

and the same idea on a card for my friend.

Do you see the waggon?  It's popped. 

So how did I do that?  I stamped the image on my card/calendar.  Then I stamped the image again on a piece of Real Red Cardstock.  I cut out JUST the wagon and popped it on the card.  It gives your project a 3-D look.  Then I added some buttons from the Clearance Rack.  Yes, you can bargain shop, it's fun!  Just go to my website www.stampladee.stampinup.net and click on SHOP NOW!

Way cool.  Okay so I want to show you another new item from my Online Store…

Best of Butterflies Clear-mount stamp set is the BEST OF series this month – the Month of April! 

#133345 for $14.95  when you are shopping in the clearance rack, add this beautiful set to your order and look for samples from me  soon.  Get the set now so we can stamp along together! 

Did you know that every year Monarch butterflies migrate from Canada to Mexico, and that the migration might span multiple generations of butterflies?

Impressive.

Of course, you can just stamp a butterfly from the Best of Butterflies Stamp Set on a card and mail it ANYWHERE in the WORLD. Take that, Mr. Monarch butterfly!

Every month during 2013, Stampin' Up! is combining some of their all-time-favorite stamps with a new, never-before-seen stamps to create a monthly “Best of” stamp set. Best of Butterflies is the April offering, but don’t forget to check out the sets from previous months as well. They’re available all year!

January is Best of Birthdays #132929 – $14.95

February is Best of Love #132987 - $14.95

March is Best of Flowers #133342 - $14.95

ANNNND when you purchase the set from my online store , the following month I will send you a hand-stamped card with that set from me!  Annnnnnd along with that, with each set you purchase you get a sticker, collect 6 stickers and you will get a free stamp set of your choice that is $14.95 or less.  WOW!!!  It's a win win!!  So hurry hurry! 

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to stamp with me.  I really appreicate it.  Hope your day is going well.

Big Shot Class…

Hidy Ho Stampers,

Jewelry making meets the stamping world is NOT new but maybe this is to you.  Back in 2010, I attended the Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar in Baltimore, Maryland, with my friend Sue Hyer and her team.  While we were there I saw some amazing jewelry that a woman made with soft drink cans (and some not so soft drink cans if you know what I mean) and the Big Shot.  Here is what she was wearing.

This was made with our Beautiful Butterfly Die #114507 and the Stampin' Up! Big Shot #113474. 

Click on my website if you'd like to order these.

 This one was made with our Daisies #2 Die #114520 and our Antique Brads #117273. 

Click on my website if you'd like to order these. 

You can also click on the Clearance Rack on my Demonstrator Website and we have some awesome embellishments that you will love to add to these pins.  REMEMBER the more you order this month (up until March 31st), you will get free stuff from Sale-a-Bration if you order $50 or more so HURRY!

So for Big Shot class this month we made some of these amazing pins which can also be used on a card or project.

Here are three that I made.  One is made with the Arizona Tea can; one is with the Arnold Palmer can and the yellow one is done with a Country Time Lemonade can.  It's so much fun going to the grocery store (well it's not fun going TO the grocery store but it's fun looking and picking out all different types of cans to make pins with and  with our dies).  Like I said, we made these at Big Shot Class and put felt and pinbacks on them.  Everyone's came out absolutely gorgeous!  I have mine on my Spring jacket.

Oh yes….I added some tule and I think feathers might be added now that I look at it. 

The possibilities are endless.

OH and guess what….one of my Saratoga Continuing Ed class members (who follows my blog) BROUGHT ME A FRESCA!!!!  They really DO make it!!!!  Thank you Janet!!!!  mmmmmmm it tastes just like I thought it would! 

So then we got talking about other things that "used" to be around. 

Do you remember Jiffy Pop? 

Fizzies (oh how I loved Fizzies)? 

Tab? 

S & H Green Stamps? 

How about Double Mint Gum (and their commercials)?  and what about

Teaberry Gum and …..

BLACKJACK Gum?!!!!  Did you ever eat BlackJack Gum and stick it to one of your front teeth so that it looked like you were missing a tooth….Oh my gosh, I'm cracking myself up! 

We had so much fun at all my Continuing Ed classes, we all laughed about these things WHILE stamping! 

Hope you enjoyed my post.  Thank you for stopping by and I'll be back.  Remember if you want to put in an order before Sale-A-Bration is over (Sale-a-Bration ends March 31st), just go to my website and get all that you want/need and you will get FREE Sale-a-Bration rewards for each $50 you spend.  YOU NEED TO HAVE THE ORDER IN NO LATER THAN MARCH 31st.  So hurry, make your list, check it twice then hit ENTER!!!!  :0)  Have a great day.

One of the items in the store is the Tulipe Big Shot Die.  Do you remember this project I did for the Ronald McDonald House?  Well her wings are done with that die and THAT die is on the clearance rack.

front view

Back view – see the Tulipe Die, I cut part of it off but it's PERFECT for her wings.  So make sure you check out the Clearance Rack, there are lots of good things on there.

Here are a few more of my favorites.  I ordered a lot off the clearance rack myself.

1.  The old fashioned (the easier one) 3/16 corner rounder #109047 – $4.19

2.  Scallop Edge Punch #112091 – $9.59 (see sample below)

3.  Spiral Punch #109973 – $4.99

4.  Tulipe Big Shot Die #113457 – #113457

Do you remember this card?  We HAD to use the old fashioned Scallop Edge Punch because the new model cuts it off…so make sure you get this one (# 112091) if you want to do this style card.

see how it does not cut off the edges!  Beautiful!  So make sure you check  it out.

I had my Demonstrator Team Get Together on Sunday.  It was so much fun.  I will share more pictures and project ideas with you later on but for now here are just a few…

Great Food

and yes this is our snowflake die

Deanna used it as a stencil for her snowflake cake – it was just beautiful…

Super Great Friends…

and FABTABULOUS projects! 

More sharing for another day, for now, I'm off to bed!   Thank you for stopping by.
