Grateful Bunch Thank You

Hello, my stamping friend.
Grateful Bunch bundle was featured during my Crafting Happy Hour event this week. This is very relaxing event where we drink wine and stamp in local wine shop.This card was the first one we made - beautiful and easy for brand new stamper:

I made few more after class to send to my friends who placed orders with me in April.

This bundle is a great value and will be caring over to the new catalog! BUT not as a bundle. Save 15% when you buy this bundle by May 31st.
Hostess code for month of April is CR4YNZPK.

Happy Stamping!

Father's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly Team Stamp It Blog Hop. The theme this months is Father's Day. We all know that it is not that easy to come up with nice masculine card (and we need a lot of them for men in our lives). Hope you will get some great ideas from this hop.
I have always wanted to try to create the 'shirt' card, but I never did. Well, today is the day. I decided to use brand new products that are coming in 2016-2017 Catalog. One of them is Playful Palette Designer Series Paper Stack. It features all new in-colors, very playful and bright - just perfect for my 'shirt' card:

How To's:

1.  Start with 4 1/4 x 11 Very Vanilla card base, scored at 5 1/2
2. Place folded card on Stampin’ Trimmer with the folded edge at 3/4". Cut in 1” from top edge to the 3-1/4” mark. Cut in 1” from bottom edge from to 1” mark. Open card. Cut a diagonal from the edge of card just above score line to end of the 1” cut to remove a triangular section. NOTE: Red dashed line represents the scored line. 
    
   
   
3.  Create a tie from 1 x 4 1/4 piece of card stock. I used envelop board to do that. For pocket - use 1 x 1 piece of very vanilla card stock.
4.  Adhere 4 1/4 x 4 3/4 piece of  Designer Series Paper to main section of card front. Fold card closed and place face up.  Add Sticky Strip to outside and bottom edge of collar and covering the brad backs. Fold collar edges in to center and angled down so top corner of collar meets top center of tie. Press folds to flatten collar sides

I also used  new copper embossing powder to add greeting to the tie. Hope you like the project and will give the 'shirt' card a try. Leave a comment and you will have a chance to win a prize!

Summer Silhouettes Set

Hello, stamper.
Last Saturday I hold very fun event called Celebration Sale-A-Bration. This event was by an invitation only and the invitation can only be earned during January - March. Every achiever could bring one guest as well. I served lunch with European twist that me and my husband cooked especially for the ladies. I even did few Ukrainian dishes including staffed cabbage. Every guest received small favor and achievers received special gift with Stampin Up! products. This is me getting ready for lunch:

After lunch we stamped. I designed special class with 2 of my favorite stamps that will be retiring soon: Dozen Thoughts and Summer Silhouettes. We made 4 cards and a purse to hold them:

Colors are retiring Blackberry Bliss and Pear Pizazz.

For the purse we used designer paper from Sale-A-Bration. It was interesting to learn that this paper was #2 top sale-a-bration item redeemed.

Check HERE how to make this purse.
And of course we had desert after.
This even was a lot of fun and I hope my stamping friends felt pampered and appreciated. I will defiantly be doing similar events in the future.
Happy Stamping!
