I made this card with the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die #125596, in the Occasions Mini Catalog, as I was trying to decide on what to make for the Stampin' Up! Leadership swap card.  This was one of those cards that I absolutely loved for it's simplicity after I made it! The new Fashionable Hearts Embosslit Die made it easy to have a whole assortment of little hearts to create with. The little die cuts and embosses five hearts at one time so if you run the die through your Big Shot with a different color of card stock each time, you will have a multi-colored assortment!

The large center heart is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder #117335 and punched with the Full Heart Punch #119883. Adhering a little bow of the new Pool Party Baker's Twine #125574 is also a simple little touch.

You could make this card for a valentine or any occasion!

To order the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die and any other valentine-making supplies, please go to my Stampin' Up! Online Store HERE.

I arrived in San Antonio yesterday, met my downline and picked up our cute bags! She got a special button for being her first time and if all 10 people with the same color button meet up, they will get a free product ! We’ll see how that works in a few minutes. After dinner we did our make & takes. At least I got a card done for the Ronald McDonald House, but after awhile I had to quit and go look at the displays! As usual, such cute projects on display! I took lots of photos! Time to head over for the first day!

Just in time to match the new Occasions Mini Catalog and for Valentines Day….new My Digital Studio digital downloads for all your digital papercrafting projects! Just click HERE or on the image below to see the new downloads!  Be sure to check every Tuesday!!

Speaking of papercrafting digital downloads and My Digital Studio and Stampin' Up!, have you gotten the free digital download on the Stampin' Up Facebook page??  Go to the Stampin' Up! Facebook page HERE.  You can either scroll through all the posts and find it, first posted on Jan. 3rd, although you will probably find a post about it sooner….OR…on the Facebook page, click on the blue Stampin' Up! words in the center column next to "Wall" which will bring up only the Stampain' Up! posts.  You will have to take a very short, easy survey in order to get your download.  You can use it of course with My Digital Studio but it should also work with similar programs like Photoshop. The download is called "Day in the Life", and it has designer papers, embellishments, and a Designer Template.

Here is the pdf for the supplies for the projects in the Occasions Mini.

Can you believe it?  Today, January 3, is the last day to order from the Holiday Mini Catalog!  Remember way back when we were SO excited that it had come out with all the fabulous new holiday products?  And now that time has passed.  

If you have been super-busy over the Christmas holidays with kids, husbands, and family (and who hasn't??!) today is your day! Everyone is probably out of the house and back to work today, so take a few minutes to look through your Holiday Mini one more time and see what you might have missed.

The Stocking Builder Punch #124095 is not being carried over at all, in fact it is being discontinued, so if you want this punch order it today while supplies last.

The Early Espresso 3/8" Quilted Satin Ribbon is no longer available for purchase due to overwhelming demand.

To see the products that ARE being carried over from the Holiday Mini Catalog and you can continue to order after the mini expires, Click HERE.

Perhaps some of the stamp sets will show up again in the next new Idea Book & Catalog, but we won't know that until the catalog previews!

I was looking through the Holiday Mini Catalog to see what products I would particularly recommend that you take a second look at, but it is too difficult!!  There are so many wonderful products in there you just have to look for yourself! Don't forget, there are a few stamp sets you can use for other seasons and holidays, such as Valentine's Day coming up, so don't miss out!  Really a great catalog!!  Just check it one more time!

You can order online yourself…..just be sure you start at my website rather than the Stampin' Up! website so that if  you have a large order you will get Hostess Rewards.  Click HERE to order Online from me!  However, if you prefer, just email or call me with your order and I'll put it in for you!

If you are ordering ONLINE, be sure to check the Clearance Rack! There are extra products added for the Clearance Rack Blitz and that Blitz ends on January 5th! Remember that when the Clearance Rack Blitz ends, some blitz items may remain in the Clearance Rack, while others may be removed and reappear at an undesignated time in the future. 

Yes, it is a new month and a new year so sign up for my stamping newsletter where you will see lots of fun projects, get great stamping tips, find out the latest Stampin' Up! news and promotions, get word on my stamp camps…..and whatever else is happening at the moment in stamping!  I send out one newsletter at the beginning of the month and usually another mid-way through the month with reminders or recent updates. Occasionally there might be an extra here or there but only if I want to be sure you hear about something.

So join the fun and feel like you are part of my stamping group!  You can unsubscribe at any time (not that you would want to, I hope!).

Just sign up in the box in the upper left of my blog!  It's as easy as that! The January newsletter goes out VERY soon, of course….so sign up now!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
