The 3 X 3 notecard looked like this Today in #2 project we are turning this design into a full sized greeting card....

Generated by SUDSOL,

Today we're starting a series of projects called "Simply" Sandi Stamping---these project are based on a simple design that we can ratchet up if we want to with some very simple steps (This is not the same as Sandi's Simply Stamping which are card kits for you to make at your leisure.)

Today's project begins with the 3 X 3 Best Dressed Note Cards in the new Stamin'Up! Jan-Jun Mini catalog (after this we'll just call it the "mini".) These cuties have a very basic pre-printed design and are coordinated with lovely scalloped flap envelopes..they look like this right out of the package. 

By the way, these little note cards fit right inside those little purses that are created with the Dressed to Impress framelits (#1516650--check out these bags on page 54 in the mini--a great gift idea when you pack it with these cute notecards).

I'm stamping with the new stamp set Positive Thoughts which is actually a FREE stamp set from the Sale-a-bration mini catalog. The reason I chose this set is because in February/March a new set of framelits will be available that coordinate with this stamp set (more about this later).

Today we are "Simply" adding black ink and Holiday Rhinestones (yes, these carried over....wahoooooo!). Here's the notecard with its matching envelope:

Simple, right, but totally awesome and striking with the black on Daffodil Delight! I'll give you the 'simple' directions below followed by the Supply List. Use this list to purchase the supplies you'll need.

Now remember I mentioned framelits to coordinate with this stamp set--Stampin'Up! is releasing 6 new products only in Feb and March--while supplies last and for this limited time. These are called Coordination products because all 6 coordinate with products in the Mini or the Sale-a-bration mini...to see both of these just click on the Catalogs button.

The brochures describing the Coordination products can be downloaded here Download 01.01.20_COORDINATION_FLYER_OOP_Q1_NA and here Download 12.01.19_CUSTOMER_FLYER_OOP_Q1_NA.

Remember when you are ordering

*This is Sale-a-bration--during Jan-March for each $50 in product you purchase you can select a FREE product from the Sale-a-bration mini. There are some Free items that require a $100 purchase---they are so marked.

and

*If you place an online order and us this month's Host Code (PD4T2Y4X) you'll receie $5 in Stampin'Up! product from me!

Directions:

1. Mount the "hugs, prayers, love" stamp and the butterfly stamp on a clear block--this way you don't have to position the stamps each time...here's how to do that...lay your uninked stamps in the position you want them right on top of the notecard. Press the clear block firmly on top of the stamps--they will adhere to the block..ready for stamping

2. Using Jet Black Stazon ink stamp the image on the 3 X 3 Best Dressed Daffodil Delight notecard.

3. Adhere 3 gold rhinestones (from Holiday Rhinestones) in an off center triangle.

Your notecard is completed.

You'll want to stop back by on Friday to see how we upgrade this to a full greeting card.  But right now..check out the supply list below.

Today I'm going to tell you how to Get It All! I'm sure you have now seen all the goodies in the Jan-Jun Stampin'Up! Mini catalog...there are 7 new Designer Series Papers, 7 New Ribbons, and 12 New Embellishments...that's a lot of new stuff. 

If you are like me you do want all of it but sometimes the budget says we can't just get all of it---at least all at one time. But you can and still stay in  your budget! 

We have 2 clubs---a Designer Series Paper Club and an Ribbon and Embellishment Club.  And....drum roll please....if you join both clubs you get 10% off both clubs...that's totally awesome and you get all that new good stuff!

The Designer Series Paper Club provides you will one full sheet of each design in the 7 new Designer Series Papers...that means if it is a 12 X 12 pack--you get one full 12 X 12 sheet of each design. If it is a 6 X 6 set of papers, you will get a 6 X 6 sheet of each design! Awesome!

The Ribbon & Embellishment Club provides you a full yard of each ribbon/twine/trim and a portion of each of the Embellishments. 

Attached is the full description that you can download and check out Download DSP full sheet club

Yes, the file says DSP but both clubs are listed on there and at the bottom of the sheet you'll see the 10% discount when you purchase both clubs.

After you play with all those goodies (imagine this--it's like Christmas to open this up and pull all those new items out of the box) you can decide if you want to purchase full packs of each item. In the meantime you have enough to get you started creating with the new supplies.

If you want to join either or both of the clubs  call 410 836 8016 or email: sandihartka@sandilovesstamping.com and we'll get your clubs to you as soon as possible.

We conquered the Valentine on Tuesday (if you missed it..check it out here https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2020/01/from-my-heart.html. Now I'm ready to prep for the small gifts...candy, bracelit, or a little tchotchke just to let someone know that I'm thinking of them. Again, I want it to be packaged to look really cute but not take me a long time to create. Remember, this year I'm really trying to stay ahead of the curve for cards and gifts....so here's today's gift box....

Yes, it's the mini Pizza Box---and, we're using the same products we used for the card last Tuesday--this makes it very quick and inexpensive because we already have most of the supplies for creating the gift box.

Today we are playing with more new products from the From My Heart Suite. This year one of my ten minute resolutions was to keep ahead of the curve with my card-making.

Why the "ten minute resolution" you ask...it's because that's about I'm  long it will take me to break that resolution! Just kidding...I'm really going to give it my best shot! So this means that I'm going to have my Valentine's ready before the end of January--which means that I need to get the stuff I need ordered now so I can work on them pretty soon.

Here's my first project....the Valentine's card...since I'm really going to try to keep on target I wanted to make it relatively simple while still having that Wow factor! So here it is...

You may wonder how I got that pink heart to shine like that...the secret is that it is punched from the new From My Heart Specialty Designer Paper--that's right...use that new Heart punch with the scalloped edge and just punch it out of the designer paper. 

Now the frilly red heart behind it is simply one of the new Heart Doilies that come in a pack of 40 (20 of red and 20 of Flirty Flamingo).

I'm going to give you the directions for this cute card below followed by the Supply List. Click on the Shop Now button or on one of the product images below and you'll be in my store.

Today I'm going to show you  a little sneak peak of one of the products you can earn for FREE from the Sale-a-bration free products this year. It's a really cute little flower punch that will be one of those "must have" tools. And, good news...it may show up in another catalog later in the year. Yayyyyyy!!!

Now, let's make another quick thank you note for those holiday gifts and thoughtful gestures that we received...

Again, we are using the Scalloped Note cards as the base which means that all we do is decorate and stamp! That's the fun part. The good news with this note card is that it's a great card for all year long--not only as a thank you but also for other occasions when you need to write a quick note---just use the same design but use the appropriate verse instead.

Since the note cards come in 4 colors---you can use whatever color coordinates with your occasion and the verse that you need.

I'll give you the simple directions below followed by the Supply List.

Remember if you place an online order and use this month's Host Code (PD4T2Y4X) you'll receive $5 in Stampin'Up! product for each $50 in product that you purchase.

Directions:

1. Stamp the Crackled Paint in Calypso Coral on the front of a Calypso Coral Scalloped Note Card. (If you want to stamp the front and not also stamp the white inside that shows through the scalloped edge--put a piece of scrap copy paper inside the note card before stamping.)

2. Stamp "Thank You" from Painted Glass stamp set (148220) in Stazon Jet Black ink in the lower right corner of the note card front.

3. Punch 3 blooms from Shimmery White cardstock (#101910), add a small rhinestone in the center of each bloom. Adhere to note card front in a triangle using glue dots.
