February Stamp Club 2015

in , , , by Kari Downing Reese, April 23, 2015
Gearing up for "Spring" makes me think of being outside, fresh fruits and veggies, and CAKE, of course!  :)  These 3 cards we made in our February Stamp Club!  You should join us next time!

I LOVE this stamp set, One Tag Fits All!  I received this as a FREE gift from Stampin' Up! for attending the Spring Catalog Kick-Off in Orlando, Florida.  The tag was stamped, punched out, colored in around the edges, then punched again with a 1" circle to make the hole to view the cake.  There are dimensionals behind the tag, to make it pop up.  Simple, easy, cute, and glittery!

*One Tag Fits All Stamp Set
*Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Strawberry Slush Cardstock
*Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar, Daffodil Delight Markers
*Basic Black Ink
*Silver Glimmer Paper
*Strawberry Slush Bakers Twine
*Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder

How about a juicy, ripe lemon tree for a breath of fresh Spring air?!  This card uses another FREE stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog (FREE item with $50 purchase before S/T), A Happy Thing.  A little Washi Tape and some Blendabilities and you are good to go!

*A Happy Thing Stamp Set
*Lost Lagoon & Whisper White Cardstock

This next stamp set is perfect for Spring....and Summer, Fall and Winter!  One set that can be used for all 4 seasons.  Did you see my YouTube Video using the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set?!  This stamp set has 14 images....and endless possibilities.  Plus this card is smooth and ready to send in the mail; no bumps, no embellishments, just paper and ink!

Having a great way for friends to tag along with my Stampin' Up! fun and other things that I love is thru Social Media Icons. I always wanted to have something cute, quick and simple for YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest.

As I was reading blogs on Project Life inspiration, I found a blog with the cutest social media buttons for free....plus she has a great name! Check out Carrieloves.com for these buttons; just click the picture below to take you directly to the tutorial! There are tons of different colors to choose from and multiple icons to use. Her blog is awesome and helpful; you should check it out!  :)

I was so excited to see my Instagram pictures as part of Erica Cerwin's presentation on Social Media!  


 My name tag, with my most favorite color in the world!  Turquoise!!!  Or in Stampin' Up! speak: Bermuda Bay!  I also received a decorated journal from Jan Reid to take notes in; it is beautiful!

 Nicole Black and Jan Reid ready for swapping cards with other demonstrators.
Only about 1,600 demonstrators ready for Main Stage presentations.

Shelli Gardner presenting on stage. Don't you love the colors and the decor?!
