Followers of Stamped Sentiments have seen the "We've Moved" cards I've made with the retired stamp set, Right at Home.  I've also wanted to welcome new neighbors with a card, but was waiting for a new stamp set for the project; now I have it.

Here are a few "welcome" samples inspired by projects seen in another source for ideas, other Stampin' Up! publications; specifically, the Sale-A-Bration Mini Catalog and Stampin' Success, the monthly magazine for demonstrators only ...

Vintage Labels showcase ...

With just days remaining to get free Sale-A-Bration products, I focused a recent stampin' session on one I ordered for my own use, the Vintage Labels stamp set.

As far as I was concerned, this stamp set was a must-have.  And with all the inspiring projects I've seen created by other stampers that I wanted to duplicate, I had no trouble coming up with these projects.

First up, a CASE of a card posted by Stampin' Up!'s Co-Founder and CEO, Shelli Gardner.  So elegant, perfect for a wedding ...

Stamps:  Vintage Labels

Paper:  Cardstock - Whisper White; Designer Series Paper - Groom Specialty

Ink:  Craft - Basic Black

Tools & Accessories:  Whisper White Organza Ribbon; Embossing Buddy; Black Stampin' Emboss Powder; Heat Tool; Punches - Wide Oval, Small Oval; SNAIL; Stampin' Dimensionals

Next is another CASE, this time of fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Mary Fish.  I don't think I would ever have thought to use these stamps to create a background if I hadn't seen her Pretty in Pink version ...

Stamps:  Vintage Labels, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:  Cardstock - Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Basic Black; Designer Series Paper - Groom Specialty

Ink:  Classic - Basic Black; Craft - Whisper White

Tools & Accessories:  Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon; Embossing Buddy; White Stampin' Emboss Powder; Heat Tool; Modern Label Punch; SNAIL; Stampin' Dimensionals

With my Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper not yet put away after creating this birthday card, here's another one.  This time it was a card layout by fellow demo Marilyn Goodrich that inspired me ...

Stamps:  Vintage Labels

Paper:  Cardstock - Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White; Designer Series Paper - Razzleberry Lemonade

Ink:  Classic - Rich Razzleberry

Tools & Accessories:  Big Shot; Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates; Punches - 3/16" Corner Rounder, Curly Label; Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon; SNAIL; Stampin' Dimensionals

And yet another birthday card showcasing the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP, a simple card layout I've seen used before by numerous stampers, myself included ...

Stamps:  Vintage Labels

Paper:  Cardstock - Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White; Designer Series Paper - Razzleberry Lemonade

Ink:  Classic - Rich Razzleberry

Tools & Accessories:  Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon; Big Shot; Movers & Shapers Curly Label; Curly Label Punch; SNAIL; Stampin' Dimensionals

To get your free Vintage Labels stamp set, visit my online store today to place your order of at least $50 in catalog merchandise and select "Vintage Labels" as your Sale-A-Bration product.  Or if you'd prefer my personal assistance with your order, just e-mail me at padrybala@fuse.net.  But hurry ... time runs out on March 31st!

Razzleberry Lemonade butterflies ...

Another place to look for project inspiration besides the Stampin' Up! catalog is from other stampers ...

Stamps:  Well Scripted

Paper:  Cardstock - Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry; Designer Series Paper - Razzleberry Lemonade

Ink:  Classic - Rich Razzleberry

Tools & Accessories:  Punches - Butterfly, Eyelet Border; Mat Pack; Paper-Piercing Tool; Gold Brads; Mini Glue Dots; SNAIL

I recently crafted a batch of these birthday cards which were CASE'd ("Copy And Share Everywhere" or "Copy And Share Everything," depending on who you ask) from one made by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Nancy Riley, who CASE'd hers from another fellow demo, Ashley Van Camp.  I made it my own by changing up the color scheme to coordinate with the Rich Razzleberry Designer Series Paper I wanted to use.  I also chose the Eyelet Border Punch rather than the Scallop Trim Border Punch they used as a matter of preference.

To order the products for this project, visit my online store today, or if you'd prefer my personal assistance with your order, just e-mail me at padrybala@fuse.net.  And don't forget there's still time to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration ... Earn one free Sale-A-Bration product of your choice for every $50 you spend on catalog product by March 31st.  Yes, you read that correctly ... FREE!

Haitian relief results ...

"To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments . . . in this we make a difference." ... Statement of the Heart

Once again, Stampin' Up! demonstrators have shown what Stampin' Up! is all about by making a difference in the lives of others.

Worldwide, demonstrators sold 13,587 of the stamps sets that were set aside for Haitian relief.  From each of those sales, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 to the Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund.  That's over $27,000 donated to people who desperately need help. Thank you all for lending a hand.
