Penny Tutorials with Celebrate with Tags

 

Here are the cards I made for The Penny Crafter Tutorials for December! 

The paper is now retired but the stamp set is still available, Celebrate With Tags. 

Sadly the dies I used are sold out and I am unsure if they will be coming back or are gone for good. 

I used clear embossing powder to create this great look! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Leader's Sale-a-bration Swaps

 

It is that time of year again, SALE-A-BRATION!!!

In fact, this is the only Sale-a-bration for the whole year! What is Sale-a-bration you may ask? It is a short period of time (2 months) when Stampin' UP! releases products that can only be earned with a $50 or $100 purchase. It also happens at the same time of the Mini Catalog release, so it is easy to find new things that you'll love for $50 or more! 

Below are just a handful of swaps I received from the Leadership Swap with Carol Norquist from Minnesota. To see all of the Sale-a-bration items be sure to watch my video or click here to see them in print. 

After your cart total is $50 or more at checkout it will remind you to add one or two or three (however many you earn) Sale-a-bration products to your order! Be sure to use January Hostess Code, H96QQXDM,  also at checkout to get some extra Happy Mail from me!
