Time flies when you're having fun!

I can't believe it's the middle of March already. Where has the time gone? There's just about two weeks left in Saleabration. I've been creating using some of the free items I've received from the Saleabration flyer, and it's so nice to just sit back and play.
My kids have been on March Break this week, and we've been doing some fun activities, as well as spending a bit of time in my creative space working away on different projects. Mine have involved paper, punches and ink... theirs have been cobbled together with tons of washi tape, glue and bling.
Whatever keeps them happy!

I'll be working on birthday party invitations and some Easter fun in the next couple of weeks. My kids' birthdays are a week apart, and fall just after Easter this year- busy times ahead!

Here's a look at some of the cards I've created with Saleabration goodies (clockwise from top left):

- Hey Chick stamp set
- Designer Tee stamp set and Carried Away designer paper
- Avant Garden stamp set (used for the background paper and the sentiment) and the metallic ribbon (comes in a pack of two- one silver and one gold)
- So Very Much stamp set

All the sets are so easy to use and get a variety of cards- and who doesn't love free things to add to their craft stash?

Just a reminder that with any order of $60 in Stampin' Up products, you get a free item from the Saleabration flyer! Email me (papersparkle@gmail.com) or message me on Facebook (fb.com/stampinwithandrea) to find out more!

 Quick and easy project for you today- no cutting, no stamping, and you'll end up with a nice, large gift bag. Check out the video here. It'll take you about 10 minutes, and you'll be out the door with a unique bag in hand.  Supplies needed:  12 x 12 sheet of Designer Series Paper (Pansy Petals and In The Wild were used for the examples.) Ribbon Scissors Adhesive (I used Stampin' Seal) Hole punch Take your piece of 12 x 12 paper, and score horizontally at 2 inches on the top and bottom. Score vertically from the edge of the paper to the 2" score line at 3 3/4", 7 1/2", and 11 1/4".  Pinch the score lines so they are visible, and then run tape or glue from the top to bottom of the paper on the 3/4 inch tab. Line up the left side of the paper to the score line, and press to create a tube (ensure the tab is on the inside of the tube. Pinch the tabs together, and then punch one hole roughly in the centre of each- there will be three holes on each end. Th

12 Crafts of Christmas- Day 8 faux woodburing

Image
  Welcome back! For today's project, I am going to show you a fun way to add some dimension to a monotone card. I'm using Nature's Beauty, Early Espresso ink, and paper from the In Good Taste paper pack. You'll also need a water brush, some ribbon and gems, if you'd like to bling up your project. The tag can be any length you like, but the maximum width for the punch I am using is 2 inches. You want to be sure your paper is fully dry before you attach it to the cardstock layer to prevent it from pulling up. Check out the video here.

12 Crafts of Christmas- day 6 recipe book

Image
Wow. We're halfway through our 12 Crafts of Christmas already! Today, I have a sweet recipe book for you to give to a loved one. Envelope books are quick and easy, and can be used for a variety of things, including recipes, photos, mini scrapbooks, and more.  The Nothing's Better Than stamp set is the perfect one for this project, and, you can amp up your project using the coordinating dies.  For this project, you'll need envelopes, card stock, patterned paper, and adhesive. It really does come together quickly and easily once you stack the envelopes.  For the cover, simply measure your envelopes, and add 1/4 inch to the height and width of the cardstock, and then measure the spine to figure out the score line for that.  If your envelopes are 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, with a 1/2 inch spine, your cardstock would be cut to 5 3/4x 9, and scored at 4 1/2, and 5.
