Product of the Week - The Everything is Rosy Product Medley



Whew...... what a busy weekend!!

We went to Pittsburgh for a basketball tournament.  We left Friday morning - that's why there was no Facebook Live on Friday and why I've been pretty quiet the past few days!!  But, we're back now and in the swing of things again.

It's so hard to get good action shots of Cade playing basketball, but he will pose for a pic everyone once in a while :).


Here he is in the Convention Center.....  there were over 30 basketball courts set up in there!!
It was a sight to see!!




Up-close of Cade before play on Saturday




And....  we found some time to explore the city..... so many hills, rivers and bridges!!  I'd go back there in a heart-beat!!  Pittsburgh is a great city, and Lilly and Cade enjoyed it, too :).



Ok, on to the serious stuff......!!



This week's Product of the Week over on the Gathering Inkspiration Stamp Studio Facebook Group is the new...... Everything is Rosy Product Medley.




I hope you’re ready for a ray of sunshine in your life, because the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley will be here this Wednesday, May 1!

This exclusive, limited-time collection of coordinating, petal-packed products has everything you need to let your creativity bloom.

Mark your calendars to order this great new Product Medley on May 1. It's only available while supplies last, and I have a feeling it's going to sell out quickly!!

Here's what Stampin' Up! has to say....

The Everything Is Rosy Product Medley is our first product offering of this kind, and we’re so excited about it! We are already planning to release more in the future.
Several recent products have far exceeded ordered quantities, and have run out quickly after becoming available to customers. For this reason, there will not be a demonstrator preorder period. We are making the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley available to demonstrators and customers simultaneously. As a new (and fabulous!) product offering, the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley is likely to run out quickly.


Sooooo.....  make sure to mark your calendars for this Wednesday, May 1, and get your Everything is Rosy Product Medley ordered as soon as you can!!



Also, make sure to join our Facebook Group so you don't miss any of the fun!!

All week long, we'll be featuring this great new Product Medley as our Product of the Week over on our Facebook Group.



In the meantime, here's a cute project made using our Product of the Week - the Everything is Rosy Product Medley...


You are not going to believe how much product is included in this medley...... a stamp set, a set of dies, 2 bolts of ribbon, rose gold foil sheets, a designer series paper pack, printed, floral die-cuts, rose gold die-cuts, rose gold adhesive backed mirror embellishments and..... rose gold shimmer paint!!

You can see a few of the items in the product medley as featured on the card above (like the stamp set, dies, designer paper, rose gold foil sheets, printed, floral die-cuts, rose gold die-cuts).  So much goodness on this card :).




And.... don't forget to join us next week at the.....

Sunny Days... Make your dreams Happen!


Here's a fun card for you today :).

It features our Product of the Week over on the Gathering Inkspiration Stamp Studio Facebook Group, the Sunny Days Stamp Set!

I made these cute cards for my Top 5 in Sales in our Inkspired Stampers Group for March.  I love to send them a fun card each month to say "congratulations".




We start our card with a Pineapple Punch card base.

Next, we stamped those little sun images (from the Sunny Days Stamp Set) in Mango Melody ink on our Mango Melody card stock and then added it to our card.


You can click on any of the images below to take you directly to my online store.

Next, we stamped that cute lemonade stand (also from the Sunny Days Stamp Set) in Black Memento ink and then colored the images in with our Dark Pineapple Punch, Dark Flirty Flamingo, Light Bermuda Bay, Light Granny Apple Green and Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends.


We also added a little Pineapple Punch 1/8" Ribbon bow to our card - it's so cute!!

·        Fold along all score lines, and cut along the score marks on the 6 ½”sides up to the intersecting/opposite score marks.
·        Put the box together using Tear & Tape.
·        Cut 2 pieces of card stock to 4” x 5”.
·        Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 3 ¾” x 4 ¾”.
·        Round the corners of all 4 pieces, and then adhere one piece of DSP to one piece of card stock.
·        Punch the top of the DSP/card stock pieces with a 2” circle punch – inserting the punch about half way.
·        Adhere these pieces to each side of the purse.
·        Cut 2 pieces of card stock to ¾” x 10”.
·        Adhere the 2 strips of card stock to the outside of the purse (one on each side).
