Wonderful Romance Stamp Set & Great News from StampinUP Today on Storage Options!!

 Currently, the stamps are available for this card, but
NOT the framelits dies.  I might be persuaded to sell the ones
I have, if StampinUP retires these & they do not carry over to the new catalog.

 Both these card samples today were found on-line with
the artists being unknown.  I really like them both though & wanted
to showcase the product, because I know some of you have this beautiful
bundle shown on pgs. 10 & 11 in the Occasions Catalog.
Its always great to see ideas for items you have, right?


ALSO......BIG NEWS IN THE STAMPINUP WORLD
ANNOUNCED JUST TODAY.....
These storage solutions will be available on April 1st!!
You can completely customize the units to get the sections that
you want and need.....FABULOUS!!

Thank you for stopping by--Lori

......all FREE during Sale-A-Bration!!

I cased my card today from Julie Davison, and you can see the small differences since I put the photos side by side for viewing.  We made this at a recent stamp class in Morton, IL.  It was a very big hit, so thank you Julie for your fabulous inspiration....

 



















I appreciate you blogging by, and if you have any questions about mine or Julies' card, please just let me know.  HAPPY STAMPING!!   Lori Helvick- StampinUP Demonstrator since 1999.

StampinUP Daisy Punch used for SUPER CUTE 3-D Flower Pot!

 I'm not really that big into 3-D paper crafting, but I do
LOVE this cute little flower pot!

 It was made by Tina R. and Peggy M. and
my friend Kim B. was the lucky recipient!

 The Daisy Punch was used of course along with the
Leaf Punch.  And there is that amazing bow from the 
Wishing You Well Stamp Set-- a personal favorite!

Behind the white pc. of cardstock, you find the Trident gun surprise!!
Kudos to those 2 stamping sisters for coming up with this cute party favor  :  )


I appreciate you stopping by tonight, and poof the weekend is gone!
Happy Monday tomorrow for the working class like myself.  Lori

Climbing Roses and Dear Doily Stamp Sets by StampinUP (same colors)

 For both these cards today, I used the following colors:
Pear Pizzazz, Petal Pink and White

Both have vellum pcs. cut out with the Starburst Punch.
Both use some of the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Top card was made with the Climbing Roses Set & bottom card
was made with the Dear Doily Set.

Both cards were equally fun to make and I loved the colors!!
Oh, and this card has some Gorgeous Grape thrown into the mix as well.

I hope you enjoy the projects today and if you have a
question, please ask.
Thanks for your blog visit.....Lori Helvick

Progress towards Maui Goal.....& a fitting card using Tropical Chic Stamp Set

Some of you have asked me how I'm coming with my quest to earn the SU incentive trip to Maui.....
Well, the end of March will be the 1/2 way point for the earning period (for trip). I am about 1/3 of the way to my end goal. No worries though.....I just keep plugging along and working hard at my business. Whatever happens-happens! and I know in my heart that I've tried the hardest this year than I ever have before in my almost 20 years with StampinUP!! Thank you SO much everyone for your help and cheering me on......."I think I can, I think I can"......


Dreaming of this tropical paradise on StampinUP's dime (smile)


 This was a very fun project at a recent class.
I think the gals liked the color combo and use
of the Tropical Chic set and matching Big Shot Dies.

 If you have any questions about this card, please contact me.
I appreciate you blogging by.....Lori

All That You Are Stamp Set & Floral Romance Paper by StampinUP

In case you are wondering, yes the bottom of the white paper
was cut at an angle on purpose!!  (smile)
I wanted  a little more of that beautiful Floral Romance DSP to show.

The sentiment was stamped on a pc. of vellum from that same
paper pack shown on pg. 11 in the Occasions Catalog.

All the flower images come from the "All That You Are" set.
I colored those with Stampin' Blends.
5 jewels were added for a little bling and all done!!

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you very much for blogging by..........Lori Helvick

All That You Are Stamp Set by StampinUP (Occasions Catalog- pg. 2)

(click on photo to enlarge)
I did some embossing on vellum for this flowery card.
White embossing powder with a versamark pad did the trick!
I used our Stampin' Write markers to color the vellum on the back side.

The 5 pearls were colored with a Stampin' Blend Marker to be all matchy.
I used the Darling Label Punch to cut out the sentiment.
The background paper came from the Subtles 6 x 6 pack (pg. 191)

Though it does not show up very well, on the vellum cardstock
I used the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies.

Any questions beyond this brief description, please ask!
I'm very happy you visited today.

1) Are you in need of some stamping supplies?
