I see St. Patty’s Day is coming next week.  Even if you are not Irish, it is always fun to tell your friends and family how lucky you are to know them and have them in your life.
I have designed a card today to do just that.  
I am using the new Oval Occasions Bundle # 156261, on page 65 of our mini Jan-June catalog, with stamps and matching punch.  It’s perfect for this card and I love the sentiment and font.
I will use this again for a cute Easter treat.  It also has lots of sentiments for birthdays, to welcome a new baby, for celebrating, thanking someone for their kindness and has tiny stars,  hearts and flowers.  It’s a great set that will work for multiple occasions. 
I also love the double oval punch.  They layer perfectly with the sayings.  You will find you can also use this punch for other sets you have. For Instructions and Supplies read more..

I have started buying plants for my garden.  Yes even in the dessert, I can grow roses and gardenias.  While I was at the nursery, I noticed all the beautiful succulents and cactus.  
So when I got home, I took out my Simply Succulents Bundle and started creating.  I love the set comes with several succulent plants, a flower pot, some beautiful expressions and dies to cut out sayings and the flowers and pot.  It also has a full size background die.  I have been practicing with my Blend Markers and some blending brushes and am so happy it is so easy. It’s so calming to color. Our Blend markers make this look so easy and impressive. I also will show you a Slide & Lock card that is a cool technique along with using the nice background die to make a stencil and some cool effects for different cards.  I think you will love it.

I also have another card idea using the “Hey Girlfriend” stamp set. I knew when I first saw it, that I would add it to my collection.  I truly treasure all my girlfriends and wanted to make a Galentine card for them.  With Valentine’s Day fastly approaching, I am seeing more and more Galentine everywhere.  Think how excited your girlfriends will be to receive a special card from you.  Where would we all be without our girlfriends?  
This set has the best sayings too.  “I love my Besties”, “You can Count on Me”, “You’re a tough act to follow” and more.I have also used this several times for my gifrlfriend’s birthdays. All the girl images and the cute balloon, dog and cat make this a well rounded set.
You can get the supply list and instructions, read more.

Last week I made a Valentine treat box using the Host set “Punch Party”,  and promised I would show you another card idea using the set.  I have another card idea for you next week too. This set is so versitile, and I know you will be happy to add this to your stamp collection.
I have used some of the beautiful Fine Art Designer paper.  It’s so beautiful and the colors really help make cardstock choice so easy.  I just pull the colors out of the designer paper, when trying to decide what to use.
I have all the supplies and instructions, read more.

I absolutely love the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set.  Gnomes are super popular today and are not just for Christmas. You will see them everywhere.  My future daughter-in-law found a cute gnome pillow with two gnomes connected.

It’s the middle of December and I have had a hard time deciding whether to continue with Christmas ideas or show you a sneak peek of our new Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Guess the sneak peek wins for now.  
I shot a video showing you some of the new products I have been able to pre-order as a Demonstrator.  I love having the ability to order early and get my hands on new products and start designing. If you would like to become a Demonstrator on my Team and do the same, just shoot me an e-mail at Stampfunatics@gmail.com and let’s chat.
I will show you some of the new products and some of the Sale-a-Bration products you can earn for free with a qualifying order.  If you are not familiar with Sale-a-Bration, it’s the biggest sale of Stampin’ Up!’s year.  This year is a little different.  You can earn Free products for January and February.  Then Stampin’ Up! will offer it again in the Summer.  This has never been done before.  They also said they will not run out of these products, like years past.  I am so excited! 
I also will make a card at the end of the video using some of the new products so watch for it.
