Stampin' Friends and Sale-a-Bration!

Have you got anything from the Sale-a-Bration catalog yet? It's a great time to buy those things on your list, why? Because you get the products in the SAB catalog for FREE!!
So with that in mind, I have teamed up with 6 of my amazingly talented Stampin' Up! demonstrator friends to design an exclusive tutorial of 7 projects, featuring the Sale-a-Bration catalog. Every project is different and includes complete step by step instructions, color photos and product list.

Get this PDF tutorial FREE with your product order of $30 or more (before shipping and taxes) when you use Host Code:  DKDB7P4Q during the month of February.

But if you increase your product order (before shipping and taxes) to $50 you will also receive a FREE Sale-a-Bration item!!! And a gift from me!! This month is our most used adhesive: Stampin' Dimensionals!

Remember, don't use this Host Code if your order is $150 or more, so you can also earn your Stampin' Rewards from Stampin' Up! You'll still receive the PDF for FREE and the Stampin' Dimensionals from me. :)

Also, if you just want to get the PDF tutorial, you can buy it HERE!


Have a great weekend!

Free as a Bird Love!

 Hello Everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful week! Can you believe is Thanksgiving week? Are you ready? I am not... not even close. But luckily we are not hosting, yay! ;)

So I just came back from an amazing weekend  in Las Vegas for OnStage. It was amazing and what I love the most are the friends that I got to see again, hug, laugh and have fun. I miss them so much! I have made wonderful friends through this business and they are so special to me. ♥

Because of that, I wanted to finally crank it up the Free as a Bird set. It is my very favorite from the catalog but I never got to play with it because I lost my dad right around release time and I was taking some time off.
I wanted to make a tag to go with a little something that I got for "my" girls for all the support they gave me during my difficult time. :)

Once I finally set for the design, it was easy to make. I started cutting my pieces with the 2 largest labels from the set using very vanilla cardstock and the polka-dot DSP.
Then I stamped the bird multiple times and got coloring. Once it was done, I fussy cut them all. Very relaxing!

 

The flowers were fussy cut from the DSP with curled edges to give more dimension and some enamel dots to add more volume. I really liked the way they turned out. Hard to pick which color to use, they are all beautiful! Stampin' Up! really has outdone themselves with those papers.♥

 

 

 

Love seeing them all together! I added some crystal effects to the DSP bird and fussy cut that too. For the sentiment, after I stamped and punched, I cut the bottom to give the impression of a cloud, sponged the edges and added some glitter and pearls and it was done! ♥

 

 

Hope you enjoyed my tags today and stay tuned for another project using the same set and papers!

 

Meanwhile, have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving! I am thankful for you! ♥

 

Love always,

 

Alessandra

Blue Birdie ♥

 Happy Monday Stamping Friends! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We had a nice one with a friend's Spa party that was really fun, my little (not so little) had a great time. ♥ 

A little birdie told me that is almost Christmas... is that right?! Lol!! No, BUT before you know it, it will be! So let's get started "early" so we don't get stuck with unfinished projects. Let's shower our loved ones with the gift of the heart! I know I LOVE getting handmade gifts, it warms my heart and they are THE BEST! Even teachers love them, hairdresser, neighbor, you name it...
So today, I am sharing my favorite handmade gift to give: ornaments!! Right?! Who doesn't love them?! Every year I make some for us and for gift giving, my family and friends loves them! And is no secret that I LOVE birds!! Hence the name of the blog, even though I love all animals. ;)
When I received my catalog I was immediately drawn to the cutest bird stamp! It's SO cute and it has 4 kinds of bird for 4 kinds of Holidays, now that's cool!!

Here is what I created with the cutest bird ever! (besides my pink birdie ;))

 

Isn't he cute? I started out stamping him and then coloring. Then I added the puff paint to the white part of his Santa's hat. Be careful cause that paint runs very fast and a lot, you barely need to press the tube. To activate the puff you will need the heating tool, so just heat and wait for the magic to happen! It's so cool, you will love it! Cut him out, add the star element and set aside. Stamp the sentiment in real red on a piece of rectangular paper measured to fit the dome and set aside.

Now, I added the puff paint directly to the shaker domes BUT, the plastic melted a little so I did it again with an alternative for that not to happen... draw around the shaker dome on thick white cardstock, add the puff paint as much or as little as you like, heat and cut around. This alternative also saves you a dome since you are using the paper as a background you will only need one dome. Add the bird with a dimensional OR, if you like a shaker ornament let him loose. Glue the sentiment.

Add ice glitter, the snowflake sequins and the curly ribbon for the loop and glue it down. These domes are great because they came double sided with adhesive. Take the top layer adhesive and sprinkle all around with the same glitter. Add the bow and you are all done!

I now it seems like a lot of steps but it's not, these ornaments were really fast to make.

 

 

 

 

And I am so sorry that I didn't photographed the step by step, it's my bad. But if you have any questions please, do not hesitate to ask me. I will be more than happy to help!!

Hope you enjoyed todays project and give it a try!

 

As always, much love and have a wonderful week!
