Last Chance Items-- Peaceful Reflection Stamp Set & Celebrate You Thinlits (2 cards shown here)


I was cleaning up some pictures on my phone today,
and found these 2 samples from display boards (artists unknown).

The top card features the Peaceful Reflection Stamp Set,
Striped Scallops Embossing Folder, and Share What You Love
Designer Paper.  (all of which are NOT in the new catalog).

The 2nd card features the Celebrate You Thinlits and they
are not in the brand new catalog either!!


Are you still needing a copy of the StampinUP Catalog?
Are you looking for a StampinUP Demonstrator to help you with
inspiration and give you some guidance on new products?

If you answered YES to both those questions, please contact me!
I would love to be your "Go-To StampinUP Gal"......
Thank you- Lori Helvick

Saying Goodbye to Balloon Celebration Stamp Set by StampinUP



I used the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper
along with the Balloon Celebration set (both are leaving).

The Balloon Punch made the cutting of the images super easy
& I'm happy to report, its sticking around in the new book  : )

Color Combo includes: 
Pineapple Punch, Night of Navy, Call Me Clover, Calypso Coral & White

If you have any questions on this very fun layout, please ask.
I cased it from Pinterest I believe, and you too can case this
and put your own special "spin" on it!
I can see this layout used with ANY designer paper, & maybe
a bouquet of flowers instead of balloons.  FUN FUN!!

Thanks for blogging by.....Lori

Botanical Bliss Stamp Set carried over & I hope you enjoy This Recent Class Project w/ it......

I cased this card idea from Julie D.
(The template below was made by her).

Showcasing both sides of the designer paper was the idea on this card,
and  I loved how it turned out.  I just used the pattern & basic
idea from Julie, and then I made one with current products &
a different spin on the color combo.
  
The 3 stamped flowers were fussy cut. Both the vines
and flowers come from the Botanical Bliss set.

I used one of the Petal Pair embossing folders which are
retiring.  That beautiful designer paper is called 
Petal Promenade which is also leaving us.


This card really was super simple when you have the dimensions in front of you!!  Start with a pc. of designer paper cut 3 in. x 8  3/8 in.  Score at 3, 4, 6, and 7.  Then cut at a diagonal as shown.  The right side is cut starting at 1 inch down & continue to the 3 in. score line.  Hope this makes sense, but if you have questions, please feel free to contact me.  Thanks very much for looking......LORI

Butterfly Gala Bundle and All My Love Designer Series Paper by StampinUP

I cased this card from Linda B. and just love how easy it is!!
The top pc of designer paper is cut 4 in. x 3 in.
The bottom pc of designer paper is cut 4 in. by 2 in.
You just score at 1/2 inch and fold the paper to get the flap.
Bingo-bango you are able to see both sides of the paper!!
I finished the card off with 2 butterflies made from
the Butterfly Gala stamp set & matching punch.
 
Check out this cute and simple box made by Bonnie A.
She used the All My Love Designer Series Paper on this project too!!
You can view this (not just for Valentines) paper on pg. 5
in the Occasions Catalog.  Yes, its retiring so get it while you can.....


If you have any questions on either project, please ask.
I really appreciate your support of my little blog postings.
I know there are WAY better stamping blogs out there, so I
am grateful that you took the time to visit mine.......Lori

Broadway Birthday Stamp Set & Broadway Lights matching dies both made it to the NEW CATALOG!!


 This card was a project at my recent "Double Duty DSP" class.
The Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper was used.
(Stamps, Dies, Paper can all be seen on pg. 69 in the current catalog)

Class attendees really liked the fun and whimsical inside of this card.
The whole idea of my class was to showcase BOTH sides of the paper
for all the projects that day.


If you live in Central IL and would like a class schedule, please 
let me know.  I would be happy to add you to my invite list!!

Last Chance Items w/ StampinUP-- Beach Happy and Incredible Like You Stamp Sets......


 This was a card class project last month.
Colors Include:
Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Sahara Sand, Vanilla

We've been getting so much rain lately, the "Wishing You
Sunny Days" sentiment really hits home with just about anyone I
would send this card to!!

The "sand" was sponged in, and the little yellow hat was fussy cut.
Other than those things, & the 2 step stamping images, this card really
came together quite nicely.

It does a heart good to dream of the beach, right?



This was an online image I found and made
by demo Brian King (I think).

The Incredible Like You stamp set is also retiring.
Get both the featured stamp sets today before they retire to the beach!!



I APPRECIATE YOU STOPPING BY......LORI HELVICK
(STAMPINUP DEMONSTRATOR SINCE 1999 AND STILL
CONSISTENTLY PLUGGING ALONG)!!

Needle & Thread Stamp Set & Matching Designer Series Paper are Retiring SOON!!


I cased this card from Julie Davison and I love the layout!!
The Subtle Embossing Folder was added to the olive card stock.
(have been using the heck out of that lately)

Anyway, other than the added texture I think the rest of the
card is the same as Julies.  This card was a class
project last month and a big hit!!

A couple of the gals ordered the Needle & Thread Bundle
along with the designer paper because they liked this card so much.....

Don't wait, if its something you like as well  : )

Tropical Chic and StampinUP Gathering near Madison, WI was a great Leadership Event!!

This was on display at the event.  Artist unknown. I love the bright colors with the Tropical Chic stamp set.
Very cool masculine card on display. Artist unknown.
The 2 patriotic pictures from above were taken at a fund raiser event to help the Honor Flight Program.  Does anyone remember that flag stamped image on this card?  (I think I still have one but not sure).  Anyway, "yours truly" was responsible for using the blue and red markers on this image.  Yes, I know-- kind of tedious!!

Kelly Acheson was one of the speakers and she took a selfie.

















These photos do not capture Friday and Sat. at all, but we had fun, talked & talked, and of course learned a lot from Shannon West and Cori Hancock of the home office.  If you have any questions about my weekend trip up north or any of these pics, please just let me know!!  Thanks-- Lori
