Tomorrow brings a new month and no fooling, there are still some wonderful treats in store from Stampin' Up! Don't forget as well – Monthly Card Class is scheduled for THIS Wednesday, April 4th at 7pm here in Burlington – come and have some crafting time with friends! If you haven't already done so, please be sure to contact me to register.
I love Stampin' Up!'s new diagonal Simply Scored plate! It was used here to create the envelope for the 3 x 3 card. When you order the plate to go with your Simply Scored tool, there are instructions and dimensions to create a number of envelopes. The Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper gave me the starting point for the colours I used in the card that features the Elementary Elegance Stamp set – Lucky Limeade and Pool Party. Ruffled ribbon adds a fun touch and the mini clothespins are so cute!
The countdown is on to the end of Sale-a-Bration – both the Designer Series Paper and the stamp set are exclusive Sale-a-Bration items – you can only get these until the end of March! With every $60 in merchandise order, you may select one free Sale-a-Bration item, so don't miss out! Contact me if you need more information.
Don't let this be you…You have less than two weeks to receive your choice of FREE Stampin' Up Sale-a-Bration items with every $60 in merchandise ordered – or FREE monthly digital downloads or package of Designer Series Psper when you sign up to be a demonstrator!!
Contact me or click here to place your order, or here to sign up for your starter kit!! Don't miss out – it finishes March 31st!
Don't forget to put your clocks forward an hour tonight! We "spring" forward….admittedly, I find this a little more challenging than "falling back"! I will be posting some recent class samples in the next week – apologies for the bit of "radio silence" here – busy behind the scenes and fitting in as many classes and workshops as possible before the end of Sale-a-Bration!
Stampin' Up!'s new Simply Scored Diagonal Plate is available today!! I was too quick in posting this yesterday, so can now officially have it up here (oops!!) I can't wait to use it in my upcoming card classes and club get togethers. Here's a great video showing some uses for the new diagonal plate. (if you are reading this post via email or feed and can't see the embedded video below, please click here to come to the blog to watch it!) If you want to try it out, come to my monthly card class – Wednesday, March 7th at 7pm – I'm going to make sure that we use the plate for one of our projects! For more information about my monthly card classes, see this page, or contact me to register!
So this extra day has got me all confused….one extra day this month/year and I'm messed up! Anyway – you'll see a familiar post tomorrow if you stopped by earlier today…
Happy Leap Day to all of you – have you "leapt" into digital crafting yet?

The Rosette die for the Big Shot makes creating rosettes easy! Cut & score your paper all at one time. The Extended Premium Crease Pad & Extended Cutting Pads will make sure the die works correctly (plus, if you purchase the die plus the pads you'll qualify for free Sale-a-Bration merchandise before the end of March!).Take a look at the video below which will show you how to create this lovely scrapbook page:
And here is the video tutorial on how to create the Rosette:

I used the Small Heart punch with the Red Glimmer paper; stamp is from the same set, and I coloured it in using my blender pen, picking up Cherry Cobbler ink from the inside of the ink pad lid. I like using the blender pen for tone on tone colouring because the shade matches but you can still see the outlined image. Two Ghirardelli chocolate squares fit perfectly inside. A sweet treat!
Interested in seeing what the Stampers & Scrappers Club is like? Due to scheduling this month, we are having 2 different club nights. If you are in the Burlington area and would like to come out, you are welcome to join us on Monday, February 20th (Family Day) at 7pm. Please contact me to register as space is limited (I'll also give you directions at that time as well!). Since this is a "try out", you can either pay my normal $20 class fee or submit a $35 merchandise order and attend for free. We'll be creating 4 cards using a variety of Stampin' Up! supplies and products. It's lots of fun!
March 31st is the last day to take advantage of Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-Bration. You can place online orders HERE and select your free SAB item with every $60 merchandise purchase until 11:55 Mountain Standard Time. Demonstrator starter kits at special price of $150 plus monthly Designer Series Paper packages can be ordered HERE but be aware that there may be a HIGH demand on the servers so patience will be a virtue if you've left it til the last minute ;) If you have any issues please contact me and I will do my best to help you!
