Monday's My Favorite Things: Squares Collection Framelits Dies

Well, it is Monday morning and time to find out what this week's My Favorite Thing is.  It really was hard to narrow it down because there are so many wonderful things in the Stampin' Up!  catalogs.  I do love the Squares Collection Framelits Dies (130921) because you can do so much with them.

Use the Squares Collection with the Big Shot and Standard Cutting Pads. (And if you use the Magnetic Platform too, the Framelits will stay where you put them). These 8 layering dies (largest: 4-3/8" x 4-3/8") cut a single sheet of paper and are great for framing your stamped images.  Would you like the preferred pricing for them?  Just visit my Online Store and start shopping today!

Simply Sketches Song Bird

 

Today's card is a convention swap designed by Jean Addis from El Paso, Texas.  Jean used the new Simply Sketeches (129669-wood, 129672-clear) hostess stamp set from the Stampin' Up! 2013-14 Annual Catalog.  She also used the Honeycomb (129378) Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background to give the card some texture.  I love Jean's color combination of Island Indigo, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.  Contact me at stamping@karenhaden.com to find out how you can get this exclusive stamp set FREE!

Shades of Summer Silhouettes

 

Today's cards are another flower design.  My friend and fellow demonstrator Sue Duffy made these using the Summer Silhouettes (132082-wood, 126447-clear) stamp set.  I love how she used different color combinations to get different looks.  What a pretty card set these would make!

A Little Bit of Gingham

 

Everyone who knows me knows that I love flowers and am always drawn to the flower stamp sets.  Today's card is another swap but as it was not signed on the back, I can't give credit to the person who designed it.  I really like it because this card uses one of my favorite sets, Flower Shop (130939-wood, 130942-clear).  Another of my favorite products is the Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape (131269) which is used both behind the flowers and for the center of the flowers.

This set has a coordinating Pansy Punch (130698).  Stampin' Up!  is offering both the stamp set and the punch as a bundle for 15% off.  Be sure to use the correct item number if you want to purchase the Flower Shop Bundle (132727-wood, 132726-clear)!   Just visit my Online Store to start shopping and receive the preferred pricing today!

Monday's My Favorite Things: 1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon

Stampin' Up!  always has the prettiest ribbon so it is sometimes hard to choose which ribbon I want to add on a card.  However, I really fell in love with the new 1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon when it was introduced in the Holiday Catalog.  I love the natural look and feel of it, especially for fall cards and gifts.  The rustic look of burlap is really all the rage these days!  It will easily add a wow factor to your projects and it comes in 5 yards! 

 

1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon (132140)

I received today's featured card from my upline Susan Smith.  She made this card and sent it to me when she was attending this year's Stampin' Up!  Convention  in Salt Lake City.  You can see how just a little bit of the new burlap ribbon added so much to her card.

Training Day Door Prize & Swaps

 

 

I am so excited for our local Stampin' Up!  Training Day on Saturday in downtown Indianapolis.  It is being held at the Old Spaghetti Factory and it is so much fun to get together with so many talented demonstrators from around the Indy area.  We get to see some great displays, see new product, and hear some great business tips.  And of course there is always lots of swapping going on!

 

I wanted to show you the door prize I made and the swaps I designed for this event.  We had to use only current items.  My door prize is a cute purse I made using the Season of Style (132340) Designer Series Paper.  (Note:  We will be making this purse at my August Stamp Camps on August 24th and August 25 if you are interested in attending!)

For my swap I used the same paper and also used the Stylish Stripes (132174) Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I used the Remembering Christmas (131760-wood, 131763-clear) stamp set for my main image.  I also used the Circles Collection Thinlits (130911) to give my card a little added dimension,

 

I also made name tags for the girls on my team of Inky Images who will be attending the event with me. I used the Blossom Punch (125603) and the new Pansy Punch (130698) for the flowers.  I added some of the new 1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon (132140) from the Holiday Catalog.  I LOVE this ribbon and am going to have to stock up on it just in case it doesn't carry over into next year's catalog!
