All Dressed Up – Pop-Up card

I don’t think I’ve shared these All Dressed Up Pop-Up cards on my blog yet.  During the month of March I think almost every class I had we made one of these or a variation of it.  There are tons of possibilities with the pop-up die and the dresses.  These are just a couple of variations that I created.

Notice the few differences on the fronts and the insides of these.  Not much changed but a little bit.

And the side view so you can see what the pop-up piece looks like.

Tonight I’ll be going to the Ronald McDonald house for some stamping with the guests that are staying there.  It should be fun.  Come back for a visit tomorrow – I have something new going on this month.

Swaps from my PAWS Team meeting

Every other month I have a  Team meeting for my downline, my sidelines, and any other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators in the area that need a group to be part of.  I love this time together – we share not only business topics from Stampin’ Up! but creative ideas.  It is a fun casual time where we can come together and do what we love.  One of the optional things we do is have a swap – at the last meeting the swap theme was to take an idea from Pinterest or a crafting magazine or website and recreated with all Stampin’ Up! materials.  It was really fun to see what everyone made.  For some I have their inspiration but for some I don’t.  And hopefully I have the correct name on each one too.   Here we go.

Bluebird Update & Free Shipping from Stampin’ Up!

I wanted to give you a quick update on the Bluebirds – the babies are here!!  They were born Saturday morning (that’s my best guess – since on Friday there were still eggs in the nest).  And today I was able to see all 5 hungry little mouths!  Mom and dad are busy bringing them food – so while they were away I peeked in to get a photo.

This and That products from Stampin’ Up!

 

New This Á That Product Line by Stampin’ Up!

 

 Q&A

Q: The new This and That journals look cool. In what ways are people using them?This and That Product Line by Stampin' Up!

A: Our latest This and That product line is based on a growing trend of smash books. They go
back to the roots of scrapbooking when people created memory books filled with photos and
mementos. Today’s scrapbooks can truly be a work of art to be cherished as a family heirloom,
but some scrapbookers prefer to go back to a simpler and faster way of capturing what is
happening in their lives. So, are you still wondering what it’s all about?

    • Do you remember doodling in your school notebook? It’s like that!
    • Have you ever created an Imagery Board for your wall or collages of magazine pictures
      that you like or places you want to go? It’s like that!
    • Have you ever had a journal you kept in the past and stopped because you just wanted to
      add a journal entry when you felt inspired instead of chronologically? It’s like that!
    • Have you ever collected ideas and inspiration from several different sources for a
      school project, a home renovation, a wedding, a party, or maybe a garden? It’s like
      that!
    • Ever wanted to have a place to add your favorite quotes when you hear them? It’s
      like that!
    • Need a place to collect all your love notes, recipes, or funny quotes from your kids? Yeah,
      it’s like that, too!

 
I could go on and on because, as with most crafting products, the only limitation for using
This and That journals is your imagination! But, I will leave you with this last idea –
basically, it’s Pinterest on paper.
