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.

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.

This is just one of several "By The Tide" swaps I received yesterday at Stampin' Up!'s Regional Seminar in Baltimore. Go figure! ...
Thanks to fellow demonstrator, Michele Huk, for this inspiring card.

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!

ADHESIVE SALE ... 20% OFF SELECT ADHESIVES!*
Saturday, March 16th thru Thursday, March 21st
As if Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration benefits aren't enough (and your order will still qualify for those at regular catalog price!), I'm offering 20% off these select adhesives ...
2-Way Glue Pen
#100425 Catalog $4.50 Sale $3.60
2-Way Glue is versatile and provides a permanent or temporary bond. It's perfect for masking or working with stencils! The chisel tip makes it easy to get just the right amount of glue for adding glitter. Let the glue dry after you’ve applied it (it will become clear), and it will work just like a sticky note.
Anywhere Glue Stick
#104045 Catalog $3.95 Sale $3.16
This glue stick is a great economical choice for scrapbooking and card making. You get 2 per package! It's acid free, so it's safe to use on scrapbook pages. It’s odorless and permanent. It's also safe and easy for kids to use. The rectangular design makes those hard-to-reach areas reachable. With these glue sticks, you can even get into corners!
Crystal Effects
#101055 Catalog $6.25 Sale $5
Embellish any image without embossing using Crystal Effects. It gives a high-gloss finish to any image. Creates amazing 3-D effects. Applicator tip gives great control. Water based for quick and easy cleanup. Distributed exclusively by Stampin’ Up!
Mini Glue Dots
#103683 Catalog $4.95 Sale $3.96
Mini Glue Dots are super sticky, double-sided adhesive dots for use on 3-D accents for cards, scrapbook pages, and other projects. Great for attaching embellishments; adheres to paper, fabric, wood, foam, plastic, and more! This fast, clean adhesive is safe for kids, too. No fumes, no mess, and no drying time required!
SNAIL Adhesive
#104332 Catalog $6.95 Sale $5.56
SNAIL Adhesive (simple, neat, affordable in-line) applies a controlled amount of adhesive directly to your project, so your hands and work area never get sticky. A small amount creates a strong, permanent bond, so your cartridge lasts a long time. Great for cards, scrapbooks, or other art projects. Refills are available, too!
SNAIL Adhesive Refill
#104331 Catalog $4.50 Sale $3.60
Refills slip right into the SNAIL cartridge (see above), so you’ll never find yourself without your SNAIL. You’ll love the adhesive, and it’s a great price, too!
Stampin' Dimensionals
#104430 Catalog $3.95 Sale $3.16
Stampin’ Dimensionals are the easiest way to give your projects an instant 3-D look. Just stamp an image, trim around it, and then use a Stampin’ Dimensional to attach it to your project. Great for layering! They are also great for making greetings stand out and attaching 3-D objects such as tags and bows.
Sticky Strip
#104294 Catalog $6.95 Sale $5.56
This super-strong, double-sided, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive will hold together a box or pouch like a dream! It won’t lift, curl, distort, warp, or wrinkle. Acid free. Use it to adhere other craft-related embellishments, such as beads, glitter, or embossing powder, too.
Tombo Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue Adhesive
#110755 Catalog $3.95 Sale $3.16
Has a dual tip for placing adhesive exactly where you want it. Place an exact small amount using the small tip, or spread the adhesive over a larger area using the wide tip. Works great for adhering Cardstock or Designer Series Paper to Chipboard, or for adhering Stampin' Glitter to surfaces. Can be both permanent or temporary. Acid free.
