Fun Free Paper

These two cards are highlighting a fun new product you can earn for free in the SALE-A-BRATION catalog from Stampin' Up!  It's called Irresistibly Yours, and comes in a package of 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 designs. This 12" x 12" white paper with a glossy white pattern is perfect for coloring using a variety of techniques. The coloring reveals the patterns! You can use sponge daubers, sponges, spritzing, a brayer, or Blendabilities alcohol ink markers for unique, easy-to-achieve effects. If you've been wanting to try out our new alcohol ink markers, now is the time because you can earn a blending trio of three markers for free too! For every $50.00  you spend, you can choose one free item from the SALE-A-BRATION catalog. Shop here or download your own PDF copy here.
One more thing I've got to share. I LOVE to stamp the inside of the my cards and the envelopes to match for a beautiful coordinated effect. After using Stampin' Up! envelopes just once I was totally hooked. They have a very smooth satin finish much like our Whisper White cardstock. The cheap envelopes I used to get from the big box stores, were very thin and porous. You could stamp on them sure, but the images were not nearly as clear and crisp as on these envelopes. You can order Stampin' Up! Envelopes - 40 for $6.50 ... that's only 16 cents a piece!! That's a good value for such a quality product.

Mixing It Up With Stampin' Up!

This is a fun new stamp for birthdays isn't it? It's called Balloon Bash and will be in the new Occasions catalog. I also love my Spiral Border punch. I used it on the second card. It's also been very useful in my scrapbooking.

I adore coloring with alcohol ink markers. I use Copic because I began before Stampin' Up! started carrying Blendabilities. Which are a more affordable alternative and especially so if you are an occasional user of alcohol inks. I'm so glad that Stampin' Up! has come out with more images to color!!!
