Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Bundle
Flamingos for My Birthday!
I’ve been celebrating my birthday for a couple of weeks now! I received so many fun cards in the mail. This card came from friend and teammate Ginger Borneman. She’s all too familiar with my love of flamingos so she used them for my birthday card.
When I first got a look at Stampin’ Up!’s Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, I knew I was going to purchase more than just one package. (I’m going to have to do some trading to get extra sheets of the pages with the flamingo design!) This awesome paper can be found in the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog on pages 38-40.
But, even though I grew up in and lived in landlocked states, I’ve had a love of everything tropical for a few years. The Tropical Oasis Suite just speaks to me–from the palm trees to the hibiscus to the palm fronds and more–and especially the flamingos.
Here’s a link to see everything that’s included in the suite: https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/products/101023/tropical-oasis

Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis Suite
When you purchase the Timeless Tropical stamp set with coordinating In the Tropics Dies as a bundle (you receive a 10 percent discount when you purchase them together) and add in the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, you qualify to receive one FREE Sale-A-Bration item. Choose from exclusive stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, a card kit, a flower punch, and more. These are great items to add to your crafting collection.
Thanks to everyone who sent cards, text messages, and email to help me celebrate my birthday. I’ll be featuring several other cards throughout the next few weeks. I know a lot of talented people!
Thanks for stopping by today. Look below to see a list of products Ginger used to create this card.

Stampin’ Up! Little Ladybug
It’s a Little Ladybug Birthday! I celebrated a birthday last week, and I’ve been so fortunate to have received a mailbox full of cards (and they’re still arriving)! Many of the cards have come from my many stamping friends. I can’t wait to open the envelope and see what they’ve created.
This card, created by friend and team member, Beth Doty, uses a variety of Stampin’ Up! products. It’s also a fun fold card. Be sure to see the photos below of the card in several open stages. I especially want to call attention to the ladybug featured here. This stamp, the sentiment, and the images inside can be found in the Little Ladybug stamp set. It’s available during Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration promotion. Receive it free with a $300 order.
What’s even more fun are the coordinating Ladybug Dies (153588). They are available for purchase today for $29 (along with a host of other coordination products). See the flyer here. And here.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Lovely and Heartfelt
This Forever Lovely Valentine card combines elements from two of Stampin’ Up!’s stamp sets–Forever Lovely and Heartfelt–that are perfect for celebrating this special day, which is just two weeks away.
This card comes together pretty quickly. It starts with a Very Vanilla Thick Card Stock base, followed with a Cherry Cobbler layer, and another Very Vanilla layer on which I stamped the hearts from the Forever Lovely set. On a separate Very Vanilla scrap, I stamped the heart from the Heartfelt set and then punched it out with the Heart Punch. I used the Heart Scallop Punch with Cherry Cobbler card stock. I layered the two hearts and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the hearts onto the card.
Forever Lovely can be found on page 81 of the Annual Catalog and Heartfelt and its coordinating punches can be found on page 10 in the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog.
At the very end of this post, look for a list of ingredients to create this Forever Lovely Valentine. Click on any of the graphics to be taken directly to my online store where you can shop 24/7.
Remember: Sale-A-Bration is underway. Through March 31, receive your choice of a free product when you make purchases of $50 and $100. Choose from exclusive stamp sets (have you seen The Gang’s All Meer?), Designer Series Paper (the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper is amazing), the Small Bloom Punch (such cute little flowers), and more. There’s still time to get your favorites.
And, February 4, Stampin’ Up! is releasing a host of coordinating products. See the flyer below to get a look. The dies and Designer Series Paper coordinate with products from both the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure. These items are available while supplies last, so if something catches your eye, I recommend you order right away February 4. Contact me for more information or to help you order.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Happy crafting!
