Stampin' Up! Weekly Deals and Another Colorado Update

I'm enjoying another sunny and beautiful Colorado morning!  I'm seated near the river and the red tinge at the top of the picture is the morning sunlight playing through the leaves.  It's going to be clear and warm up here, with a high of 76 in the mountains (we're at 7,522 feet in elevation).  We are in our last few days at home, though, which is always tough.

The flipside to leaving my hometown is getting home to my studio!  I'm anxious to get inky again -- it's been a few weeks since I was able to do so and I've missed it.  The new 2014 Holiday Catalog will be available for viewing soon and I can't wait to share some of the fun things from that...

Here are this week's Weekly Deals.  The Fancy Fan TIEF is one of my favorites to use and I'm excited to see a few more Big Shot goodies up for grabs which I don't have yet.

Stampin' Up! 2014 Sale-A-Bration {Studio-Sara} Countdown: You're Lovely

This lovely stamp set is You're Lovely, a Sale-a-Bration (SAB2014) freebie (page 14, W133575 C133578) with a $50 merchandise purchase until March 31.

Rhinestone Basic Jewels (AC page 171, 119246) add a fun and sparkly touch of class to this lovely stamp.  I also love how the Square Lattice TIEF (AC page 191, 119976) mimics the background of the stamp.

I used the same TIEF in this project, created for challenges with The Shabby Tea Room and CASology.

I created this card for a Mojo Monday MOJO334 and Cute Card Thursday 310 challenge.

The DSP is a Sale-A-Bration freebie, Sweet Sorbet (SAB page 11, 133521).  The Pool Party pieces were run through my Big Shot (AC page 184, 113439) with the Fancy Fan TIEF (AC page 191, 127751).  The little piece was punched using the Little Labels Punch Pack (AC page 181, 126881).  The Basic Black flower on top came from the Itty Bitty Shapes page (AC page 180, 118309) and the center for the flower is from the Cupcake Builder Punch (AC page 181, 121807).

There are more Sale-A-Bration projects to come, but time is running out.  The deadline to order is Monday, March 31.  Click {HERE} to order.

Stampin' Up! 2014 Sale-A-Bration {Studio-Sara} Countdown: Sweet Sorbet DSP

We are in the final days of Sale-A-Bration, the annual promotion from Stampin' Up! which gives you a freebie with every $50 in merchandise spent.  Click {HERE} to view the Sale-a-Bration ("SAB") brochure to see the freebies.

Today's post is dedicated to some projects using the Sweet Sorbet DSP (SAB page 11 133521).  I *LOVE* playing with this DSP and will be so very sad when it is no longer available.

This card was created for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #212.  I used Sweet Sorbet DSP in the Sahara Sand vertical piece as well as in the dotted Scalloped Circle (AC page 182, 119854) piece.  

Another Sale-A-Bration freebie, the Decorative Dots TIEF (SAB page 12, 133520), gives texture to the Pansy Punch (AC page 183, 130698) flower in Pool Party.

In the following project, I used the same elements, but reversed the pieces that had been run through my Big Shot (AC, page 184, 113439) with a TIEF.  I used the Fancy Fan TIEF (AC, page 191, 127751) on the Crisp Cantaloupe piece and the aforementioned Decorative Dots on the Pool Party bloom.

This next project was created for the Mojo Monday MOJO333, Shabby Tea Room 206, and Seize the Birthday 307 challenges.  Love the florals mixed with the dots.  Both patterns are free in the Sweet Sorbet DSP, available as a SAB freebie with each $50 merchandise purchase.

I made the vertical piece with the hearts...

Finally, I just created this card for the Runway Inspired #56, Freshly Made Sketches #128, and Seize the Birthday #310 challenges.

The variety of images and color combinations makes Sweet Sorbet such a versatile package of DSP!
