My husband and I celebrated a milestone anniversary yesterday, certainly an occasion worthy of a very special card ...
This card was my first new catalog project last year, a swap for a team meeting, which I previously shared here.
I did pre-order some new catalog products again this year (just one of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! demo!) and hope to be sharing a few sneak peeks very soon. Meanwhile, Happy 10th Anniversary, dear!

This card and coordinating envelope is the second project I've completed from those provided at Stampin' Up!'s Regional Seminar held recently in Baltimore, Maryland (click here to see the first) ...
Stamps: Clockworks, Sweet Essentials
Paper: Cardstock - Basic Gray, Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink: Classic - Gumball Green, Basic Gray, Pool Party; Refill - Gumball Green
Tools & Accessories: Whisper White Medium Envelope; Stampin' Spritzer; 1" Circle Punch; Paper Snips; Sponge Dauber; Pool Party Baker's Twine; Naturals Designer Buttons; Adhesive - SNAIL, Glue Dots; Other - rubbing alcohol
For this project, the base card is indeed spritzed with a mix of Gumball Green Classic Ink and rubbing alcohol (add 10-12 drops of ink to spritzer filled with alcohol). Again, I used a different sentiment to complete my card since I intend to send it to a recent college graduate.
To purchase all of the supplies for this project (except rubbing alcohol) ...

As first mentioned here, I recently attended the Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar held in Baltimore, Maryland. Since returning home, I've been finishing up the projects we were given to make at the seminar. This notebook is the first ...
Stamps: Clockworks, Loving Thoughts
Paper: Cardstock - Basic Gray, Gumball Green, Calypso Coral, More Mustard, Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink: Classic - Basic Gray, Gumball Green, Calypso Coral, More Mustard, Pool Party
Tools & Accessories: Simply Scored Scoring Tool; Bone Folder; Sanding Block; Stamp-a-ma-jig; Stamping Sponges; Paper Snips; Fancy Flower Punch; Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons; Calypso Coral Baker's Twine; Adhesive - Sticky Strip, SNAIL, Glue Dots; Other - 4" x 6" notepad; mini spray bottle
I chose to add random touches of color to the cover with a sponge inked from a Gumball Green Classic Stampin' Pad rather than a Stampin' Spritzer and ink refill as was done at the seminar. It's not an identical look (click photo for enlarged view), but much simpler. I also used a different sentiment.
To purchase all of the supplies for this project (except notepad) ...

Lucky me gets to attend Stampin' Up!'s Regional Seminar this Saturday in Baltimore, Maryland with a fellow demonstrator and friend from Delaware. But before we meet up for our fun girls weekend, I'm in the area visiting with family.
Since I didn't have a chance to make any cards for swapping before leaving home, I'm papercrafting on the go with these limited supplies ... Whisper White, Island Indigo, Wild Wasabi, Pool Party and Chocolate Chip are the colors I chose (except the Baker's Twine which is Early Espresso). I've also got a stamp set and a few punches, but that's it.
What would you make with them? Feel free to share a link to your creation in the comments section below. I can't wait to see it!

Your life is Awesome. Quirky. Exciting. Perfectly messy. And happening really fast.
Stampin' Up! is sharing another first peek at the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog with this new product line that lets you capture this and that (and everything in between), all on-the-go ...
You can buy the This And That products separately, but buy all five bundled together now through April 30th and save 15%! ...

The upcoming 2013-2014 Annual Catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand-new color ...
Beginning today, all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e., ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last so it's best to stock up on your favorites now.
Watercolor Wonder Crayons are being discontinued too, so you might want to complete your collection of those as well (note that the Brights Collection of these is already out-of-stock).
Or better yet, wait until the weekend (April 6th-8th) and enjoy FREE shipping! Or, if you simply can't wait ...
