Love you So!




Welcome to Friday Favorites! My favorite item right now is the new Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I have used to so many cards all ready and I really hope we see it in the new Catalog in June. I also am really enjoying the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper and Geometrical Stamp set with the Coordinating Triangle Punch. All the items can be found on pages 26 and 27 of the Occasions Catalog are are part of the Kaleidoscope Suite. Other items on this card include Bermuda Bay Card Stock, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry and Basic Gray Ink Pads, Basic Black, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Strawberry Slush Stampin' Write Markers, Whisper White Card Stock, Banners Framelits Dies which I made longer. I will show you how in another post and Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon. I hope you take a moment and check out the other Designer Team Members projects on the SSINKspiration Blog and if you like the card don't forget to pin it. Have a great weekend! Tonya

Valentine's Day Treats

Hello! I have been so busy stamping that I have forgotten to post. Have no fear I am going to get back on schedule and I have so much to share with you. There are two new products that Stampin'UP! has just released. The info is in the posts below and Sale-a-bration kicked off yesterday. I love this time of year because there is something for everyone. Whether you are a customer, hostess, or maybe looking to become a demonstrator like me. This year those that sign up to become Demonstrators are even more blessed in that they can receive a free Convention Registration. Contact me for more details about that special. Today I have a Milk Carton Valentine Treat for you. We recently made this at the Library and I wanted to share it with you in case you are in need of a quick and easy Treat to add Candy too. 
Supplies are: Milk Carton Bigz Die, Crumb Cake Card Stock, Fresh Prints Paper Stack, Sticky Strip, Coastal Cabana Card Stock and Ruffled Ribbon, Whisper White Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Fashionable Hearts Embosslit, Hearts a Flutter Framelits, Red Glimmer Paper, Large Heart Punch, Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and Bitty Banners Framelits. Please let me know if you have any questions about this or any of my projects. I am always happy to help. Thanks and have a great day! Tonya


Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit



I must say that the new Card Kits that Stampin'UP! has been releasing lately have been so impressive. I featured the Everyday Occasions Card Kit last week and this week we have the new Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit. I will be ordering this kit today and will share it with you soon. Today I have a flyer below that shows all the styles of cards you can make with this kit and of course you can change them up and be a creative as you want. The cost is only $19.95 for 20 cards. The card size is smaller than the standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 but are still a great size for notes and such. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to place an order. Thanks and have a great day!


Texture Boutique Embossing Machine

 I love the Big Shot and I use it for many different things but sometimes it is nice to have just a tool that embosses only. So Stampin'UP! has re-released the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine. This handy machine allows you to emboss quickly and easily. It is compact to take with you on retreats and if you have events were you use both the Big Shot for cutting and embossing it saves you needing to purchase another Big Shot or have people wait. The cost is only $29.95 and if you purchase it with the Three new Embossing Folder that are in the Occasions Catalog (Ampersand Texture, Arrows Texture and Scallop Texture) you can receive the Decorative Dots Texture Folder Free during Sale-a-bration. That is four folders to get you embossing and adding an extra element to you card in a matter of minutes. Contact me if you would like to place an order or if you have any questions. Thanks!

Monochromatic Cards


Hello and welcome to our Monochromatic Cards. I decided to go with a Pink theme for Valentine's Day and used Primrose Petals, Pink Pirouette and Blushing Bride. I used the Primrose Petals Core'dinations Paper and texturized it with the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder then sanded it to expose the core which is a lighter pink. The stamp set is new and called Love you to the Moon. We stamped it with Primrose Petals and then cut out with the Chalk Talk Framelits. The Blushing Bride piece behind the stamped image is also cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits.The Chalk Talk Framelits are currently on sale. The ribbon is Whisper White in 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon. The hearts were cut out with both Whisper White and Pink Pirouette and the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits and just to add a bit of bling I added Basic Rhinestones. Tomorrow I will be back tomorrow with a new card that I have to share with you and Friday the team will be sharing Birthday Card with you. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Tonya

SSINKspiration Card Sketch








Hello and welcome to our Monthly Card Sketch. I love using Card Sketches they are  a great starting point for a card when you are struggling for an idea or just to help INKspire you. For today's card I pulled out a new paper pack from the Occasions Catalog and started with that. I love the new pack and will be using it a lot in the upcoming weeks so be prepared. Supplies are Real Red Card Stock and Ink, Coastal Cabana Card Stock, Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack, Geometrical Stamp Set, Labels Collection Framelits, and 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon. The ribbon was cut and I pulled threads from it to wrap around the card and tie into the bow. I hope you head over the the SSINKspiration blog and see the other great cards that the design team made. You will see more samples of the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack as it appears I am not the only one that really likes it. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

January Blog Hop



Thank you so much for joining us for our January Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop!  Love is in the air and our talented group of design team members have a Whole Lotta Love Goin' On as we are excited to be sharing some NEW Occasions Catalog goodies and some Valentine's Day projects with you this month!

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog!  We are always excited to hear from our followers!

You should have just left stop number (15) on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad  blog hop – (Jennifer B of NW Stamper). If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find  the full blog hop lineup below

I am so glad you stopped by today. This is what I refer to as Birthday week at our house. Today just happens to be my oldest son's 16th Birthday and Saturday is my youngest son's 10th Birthday. So since we have so many Birthdays I thought a Birthday card and a cake topper using some of the new Occasions Products would be perfect to share with you. The topper is made with the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper and the banners are cut with the new Banners Framelits Dies. I used Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Basic Gray Card Stock also and added texture with the Big Shot and various embossing Folders. The Happy Birthday, bring on the cake are from the Bring on the Cake Stamp Set and were stamped on Whisper White Card Stock then punched out with the Wide Oval Punch and cut out with a Banner Framelit. I used the Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine that comes in Tag a Bag Accessory Kit. I will be adding this to the Birthday Cake for tonight. I will be sure and get a picture with it on the cake. 
For the card which is also for tonight I used the same colors but added a couple of new stamp sets. The arrows are from the Geometrical Stamp Set and were hand cut out. The Make a Wish is from the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set and was inked up with the Stampin' Write Markers before I cut it out with the Banner Framelits. I used the new Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on the Bermuda Bay Card Stock and once again I used Baker's Twine from the Tag A Bag Accessory Kit. I think it will be perfect for our Birthday Boy. 

Once again thanks for stopping by and be sure and head over to Heidi's Blog to see what she has to share with you. I hope you have a great day! Tonya

SSINKspiration Color Challenge


Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration









Hello and welcome to our Color Challenge Monday. I love this color combo but I must admit it would not have been one I would have put together myself. The colors are listed above and we would love to have you play along with us at SSINKspiration. It is easy to add a card and be part of the fun. I used the Bring on the Cake Stamp Set and used Black Embossing Powder to really make the Happy Birthday pop. All of the Watercolor papers in the Occasions Catalog got me to thinking about using the Clear Blocks so I inked them up and stamped them on the Whisper White paper before I embossed. Then to add just a bit more pop I added a butterfly in each color with Basic Rhinestones for their bodies. Simple yet pretty and easy to make an assortment in different colors if you need a lot of cards. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day! Tonya
