Time for another Blog Waddle!



Hello!
Time for another Stray Duckling Blog Waddle!  At our meeting last Saturday, we decided to challenge ourselves and do a monthly blog hop (waddle).  We also did a card swap with the theme "all that is new in the Occasions or Sale-a-Bration catalogs".  So that is the  subject of this blog waddle!

Today I will show you my card that I created for the swap.  It's a free stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog and it's called "Lots Of Lavendar".  It's a wonderful two step photopolymer set.  Easy to stamp with and very versatile!  I made mine into a thank you note, but it would work as sympathy, thinking of you or even get well card!  Take a look at my creation!


Here is the card recipe:
           Stamp Set:  Lot of Lavender (SAB); Petal Palette (OC- sentiment)               
           Paper:         Crumb Cake - 4-1/2 x 11, scored @ 5-1/2
                              Basic Black - 4 x 5-1/4; 2-1/4 x 4-3/8
                              Whisper White - 3-7/8 x 5-1/8: 2-1/8 x 4-1/4; 4x 5-1/4 (inside)
           Ink:             Memento Tuxedo Black
                              Wisteria Wonder
                               Stampin' Blends:  Old Olive, Daffodile Delight (both dark and light)
          Accesories:    5/8" Burlap Ribbon
                                 Wink of Stella Clear
                                 Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes
                                 Pinewood Planks Dynamic Embossing Folder

I belong to a group of wonderful and creative women.  We shared many amazing cards on Saturday, shared business tips, encouraged one another  and have had some fun adventures in the past.  If you have been sitting on the fence about joining Stampin' Up as either a hobby demonstrator or business demonstrator, now is the time.  During Sale-a-Bration (now until March 31st),  if you join, not only do you get $125 of product for just $99, but you get to choose 2 additional stamp sets (up to a $101 value) - absolutely free - in addition to your starter kit.  Plus, you get to join in the fun with the Stray Ducklings for super ideas and super support.  Click here to the beginning of a wonderful adventure and joining the Ducklings!
               
Now, lets go see some other amazing cards created by my fellow Stray Ducklings:








    

Have a blessed day!

Happy New Year/ Happy January Class!

Happy New Year!  I hope you had a good and blessed Holiday Season.  As I write this, it is soooo... cold out - -4 degrees!  Yikes!  Good time to get together and make some cards.  The January class is a sampler of products from the Occasion and Sale-a-Bration catalogs, which start January 3rd!  So here's what we will be making:


You have to see these in person to really see how beautiful  Especially great is the Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series paper, which I've used on two of the cards.  All I can say is "Wow"!  And this is just one of the many Designer Series papers available in the catalogs.  Stampin'Up has really outdone themselves with these papers. 

Dates and Times of the classes:

Sunday, January 14th - 1:30pm - 4:30pm

Tuesday, January 16th - 10am - 2pm

Friday, January 19th - 10am - 2pm

Please let me know by Tuesday, January 9th if you will be taking the class.  That will give me time to make up the card kits!

Tuesday, February 20th
Friday, February 23rd


March Class - One Sheet Wonder Note Cards

Sunday, March 18th
