Remember, Sale-a-Bration is a very special time of the year for Stampin' Up!. For each $50 subtotal of your order (you do not have to split your order up) you will earn one free choice from the mini brochure!
And this year the choices are spectacular! There are stamp sets, 2 Designer Series Paper packs, an accessory pack and all current Blendabilities are available as a free selection (one three pack per free selection)!
Example:
Here's what we made in stamp club this month:
Card #1:
We tried our hand at the "chalkboard" technique - we used the new chalkboard paper as well as a new chalk pad! (The greeting is from the new set Big on You) Details were drawn with our white chalk marker (available in our main catalog). I will describe further this EASY "chalkboard" technique in an upcoming post!
Also used on this card was a piece of the Best Year Ever DSP (a free selection from Sale-a-Bration), and the new, clear Itty Bitty Accents epoxy stickers - can you see one there on the heart?
I was rather boring - cutting our new washi sheets into strips so that it resembled plain, ol' washi tape! It will be a lot more fun once I get a hold of some framelits to use on the sheets of washi tape paper and cut it into shapes!
Card #2:
I plan to feature the stamp set in just a few days, so I will explain and show you by pictures how this is a three-step instead of a two-step stamp set. GORGEOUS!
The Irresistibly Yours DSP doesn't look like much when you see it in the brochure... that's because it's white paper with different white embossed images. The magic of this paper is adding color - the embossed images will resist color!
For example, on this card we applied Wild Wasabi ink to the leaf piece and Pink Pirohuette ink to the shorter piece. The white vine/flower is the result of the "emboss resist" technique! (you can view my info about this technique by clicking here:http://dandyspandy.blogspot.com/2014/01/so-lets-get-this-party-started.html?m=1)
A touch of gold finishes it off - gold baker's twine and sequins.
Card #3:
I used the new butterfly thinlit dies and also a piece of the Painted Blooms DSP.
It looks as though the butterfly is just filled in with white card stock when in fact, it's on and a window sheet, so it appears to be floating!
You can visit my last post for a quick release tip of this detailed die:http://dandyspandy.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-love-butterfly-basics-bundle.html?m=1
A window sheet/acetate is glued behind the opening with glue dots. The butterfly is then placed back in the opening and actually glued to the window sheet- we used a two-way glue pen to do this.
We tied a "double fork bow" to the front of the card to finish. Again, I used the help of another demonstrator's video. Here is the link that we used: http://youtu.be/VWou4GtMD-Q
Also note that you can make a smaller or larger "fork bow", and they each have their own video!
I can't wait to give you further details on some of these feature products! I plan on doing so in future posts.
It's easy to spend $50 with all the great products featured in the Occasions catalog! If you order before March 31, you will be able to pick a free Sale-a-Bration item per $50 total.
You can view both of those mini catalogs here: http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/default.aspx
If you did not receive one in the mail at the end of December, but you would like one, please contact me, either by way of this blog or through email, and I will see that you get on!. (If you have a regular demonstrator I will ask that you contact him/her first.)
You can always order online 24/7 on my online store! http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/dandyspandy/

Have fun!
PS: There will be no clubs held in the month of February. I would like to start new rounds of clubs in March. If interested in this monthly meeting of five ladies please contact me, either through this blog or by email! (Dandyspandy@sbcglobal.net)
