Last Chance to Get 12"x12" Early Espresso Album

MORE BREAKING NEWS TODAY: Stampin' Up!'s 12" x 12" Early Espresso Album (item 127685) must make an early exit from the 2012-2013 Annual Catalog. The supplier will not be able to continue to produce this product without a significant cost increase which would have to be passed onto the customer. In light of that, Stampin' Up! has decided to discontinue this album. Supply of this album is running low, so you'll want to order yours NOW--before they are no longer available!

The 3-Ring 12" x 12" Early Espresso Album is covered in a rich linen fabric. It's designed with a metal holder on the spine to label your scrapbook. The album includes 10 polypropylene 3-Ring page protectors, and you can purchase more page protectors separately HERE. The album is acid- and lignin-free.

Scalloped Heart Sticky Notepad Cover

This is a special shout-out to those Target Store Dollar Bin enablers...you gals know who you are. I found some ultra-cute scalloped heart sticky notepads (a.k.a. "post-it notes") locally, and had to dress them up. I thought they turned out absolutely dreamy. That is, if a sticky notepad can be dreamy...




If you are lucky enough to find some of these scalloped heart sticky notepads, and want to make this holder, here are some quick dimensions:
• Start with 3" x 7" piece of card stock
• Score at 2-3/4", 3-1/8", 5-7/8", and 6-1/4"
• Cut an angled slice off the corners of the bit that folds up inside, for a cleaner look

Unfortunately, the Happy Valentine's Day heart image is no longer available. You could only get it from January 3-21. If you are totally bummed because you wanted the stamp but didn't know about the sale, then you should SUBSCRIBE TO MY BLOG BY EMAIL so you can make sure you are notified about these specials!

Here are the Stampin' Supplies you CAN still purchase from me:

Hearts a Flutter stamp set* (wood or clear)
Hearts a Flutter Framelits (the scalloped die-cut heart)
SAVE 15%: Get the Hearts a Flutter Bundle of stamps + dies (wood or clear)
Alhambra Jumbo Wheel (make sure you have a Jumbo Handle for it)
Pool Party card stock and ink pad (to ink up wheel)
Whisper White card stock
Primrose Petals ink pad and stitched ribbon
Full Heart Punch (for a punched heart to layer, as on my sample)
Stampin' Trimmer
Simply Scored scoring tool
SNAIL Adhesive and/or SNAIL Refill
Stampin' Dimensionals
*use the heart(s) from this set, in place of the Happy Valentine's Day heart.

And, you may want to grab some self-adhesive Velcro© dots for closure.

Sale-a-Bration Stationery Box Instructions

I absolutely LOVE the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper that we can get for FREE during Stampin' Up!'s 2013 Sale-a-Bration!

I just love looking at the colors and patterns, and it reminds me of a couple of stationery boxes with coordinating cards that I created a few years ago--with other patterned papers that made me drool. Here is the set I made using the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper (DSP), plus the coordinating Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack, and with some stamping courtesy of the Madison Avenue stamp set. I chose them because ALL 3 of these items are available for FREE during the Sale-a-Bration. You can choose one for every $50 you spend...OR...host a PARTY with at least $400 in sales, and you get ALL THREE for FREE, plus LOTS, LOTS MORE!







Click HERE for PDF Instructions for the Box
(12 sheets of DSP will make 9 boxes, with enough left over for 36 card front layers measured at 4"x5-1/4"...that's 9 boxes of 4 cards and envelopes each! Or, make 12 boxes with only 2 card front layers leftover from each sheet, and stamp the other two cards--like I did in this set.)

You will definitely want to grab some packages of coordinating card stock and ink for this project, so I've listed those below with ordering links for your convenience. (* indicates supplies specifically used in my sample) I've also added a couple of tools and other supplies to that list, which you will want for assembly of your Sycamore Street Boxed Card Set. The awesome thing is, the more supplies you order, the MORE FREE STUFF YOU GET YOU GET TO PICK!

Petite Pairs stamp set* (wood or clear)
Alhambra Jumbo Wheel* (make sure you have a Jumbo Handle for it)
Island Indigo card stock* and ink pad*
Pool Party card stock* and ink pad*
Whisper White card stock*
Whisper White Medium Envelopes* (40 per pkg)
Rich Razzleberry card stock and ink pad
Summer Starfruit card stock and ink pad
Tangerine Tango card stock and ink pad
Sahara Sand card stock and ink pad
Stampin' Trimmer*
Simply Scored scoring tool*
3/16" Corner Rounder Punch*
Itty Bitty Punch Pack*
Stampin' Sponge*
SNAIL Adhesive* and/or SNAIL Refill (for cards)
Tombow Multipurpose Glue* (for box)
Stamp-a-Ma-Jig* (optional, but super handy!)
