Hi Stamping Friends!

I want to give a shout-out to all of my customers who qualified for the Sale-a-Bration Celebration, and especially those stampers who were able to attend yesterday's appreciation event!  We had a fantastic time and I had so much fun spoiling everyone! 

My intention was to get some event highlights up for yesterday's Sunday Showcase, but I've been a little under the weather, so I decided to make it a Monday Showcase!  I also didn't realize until the last people were walking out the door that I never got my camera out the entire time!  What?!!  I hate when I forget that!  I must have been having too much fun!  Oh well, I can still show you some of the goodies they received.

But first, a reminder…

MainAd_RetiredList_DBWS_Apr1512_USLast Chance Retired Lists Released Tomorrow!

Be sure to check in tomorrow to see which stamp sets, tools & accessories are going for good! 

The retiring accessories will be available while supplies last only, so you'll want to order those as soon as possible.  The 2013-2015 In Colors will likely be the first to go—they usually are—so I'd ordered those today if you want to stock up! 

Retiring stamps will be available thru the end of the catalog.

WIN A Retired Stamp Set!—Hop on over to my Too Cool Stamping Facebook Page and post the name of one stamp set that you think will be on the Last Chance Retiring List tomorrow.  I'll be doing a random drawing from the comments and the winner will be able to select a soon-to-retire stamp set from my personal collection.

Sale-a-Bration Celebration Highlights! 

I hosted a special, invitation-only appreciation event for my stamping friends who qualified by purchasing $150, hosting a party or joining my team during the 2015 Sale-a-Bration promotion. 

Here are some of the highlights from the event!

Fry box caddy- filled

CASEd from Lyssa Zwolanek at Song of my Heart Stampers.

Fry Box Caddy—Each of my attendees received a little "You're The Best" caddy of candy created with the Fry Box Die.  

Fry box caddy - inside

It's two Fry Boxes connected back-to-back, punched with the Extra-Large Oval Punch for the handle, then decorated.  So cute!  Check back on Wednesday for more details on how to put it together.

Fry box caddy 2

The sides were decorated with Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper and a double-layer Coastal Cabana Fun Flower embellishment.  The center of the flower is a Crushed Curry 7/8" Scallop Circle punch with a 1/2" Circle punch of Gold Glimmer Paper.  The sentiment is from the Sale-a-Bration Simply Wonderful set, die-cut with the Bitty Banners Framelits.

Monogramed notebook - three cool

Monogrammed Notebooks—Each attendee also received a little personalized notebook!

Monogramed notebook

The notebooks are mini composition books, decorated with the Best Year Ever DSP and rounded at the corners with the Corner Rounder Punch.  I wrapped some Best Year Ever Ribbon around the front cover.

Monogramed notebook 2 

I stamped the Metro Type Alphabet letter in Coastal Cabana on Whisper White, punched it with the 1-1/4" Circle Punch, layered it on a 1-3/8" Circle in Basic Black, then on a 1-3/4" Scallop Circle in Calypso Coral.  It's accented with a Coastal Cabana Bitty Butterfly topped with a Rhinestone Jewel.

Party Fun & Games—Along with the party favors shown above, we also had plenty of activities happening at the event! 

  • Hourly Games with Prizes!
  • Hip Hip Hoorary Card Make & Take Station!
  • Try-It Station for the Mini Treat Bag & Berry Basket Die!
  • 4 Make & Take card Stations (shown below)!
  • Yummy Refreshments!

Here are the Make & Take Cards we created featuring many of the Sale-a-Bration selections one last time…

Big day eat cake 

Card #1: Big Day With Cake—The background is created with a 5" x 1-1/2" and a 5" x 2-1/4" piece of Best Year Ever DSP, mounted on a 5-1/4" x 4" layer of Sahara Sand and wrapped with Best Year Ever ribbon.

Big day eat cake 2

The Big Day image is punched with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch, then layered on a Starbust Framelit die-cut in Calypso Coral.  It's colored with Crushed Curry and Coastal Cabana markers, then glittered up with the 2-Way Glue Pen and some Dazzling Diamonds.

You made my day 

CASED from Georgia Giguere's leadership swap, featured at Stamp With Georgia.

Card #2 You Made My Day—The background starts with a 3" x 4" piece of Best Year Ever DSP.  I added a 1" x 4" piece of Soft Suede card stock that's embossed with the Chevron Texture Impressions Folder, then wrapped it with Best Year Ever ribbon.  That layer is adhered to a 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White background and mounted on a Coastal Cabana card base. 

You made my day 2 

The Best Day Ever sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto a 3-3/4" x 1-3/4" piece of Whisper White.  The Petal Potpourri (wood) flower was stamped in Coastal Cabana and punched with the Flower Medallion Punch.  The flower center is stamped with Crushed Curry and punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch.  The photo shows a Vintage Faceted Button colored with Blendabilities, but we used Best Year Ever buttons at the event.

Irresistibly yours butterfly window 

CASEd from Lyssa Zwolanek at Song of My Heart Stampers.

Card #3 Simply Irresistible Butterfly—We did one more project with the fun Irresistibly Yours embossed paper.  The 4" x 5-1/4" background was sponged with Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and So Saffron for an ombré look.  The window was created with a 2" Circle Punch and we tied the Best Year Ever ribbon through the window into a double-knot.  The whole layer is popped up with Dimensionals onto a Crushed Curry card base.

Irresistibly yours butterfly window 2 

The focal point is a Calypso Coral Elegant Butterfly Punch layered with a Whisper White Bitty Butterfly Punch and topped with Pearl Jewels.

Irresistibly yours butterfly window 3 

The Simply Wonderful sentiment is stamped in Calypso Coral onto a 4" x 1/2" strip of Whisper White.

Sab recessed window - flower

Card #4 Flower Medallion Birthday—I already blogged about this final project and you can find details on it here: Best Year Ever Recessed Window Cards.
