Today I wanted to share with you 2 really fun projects made with new products from the Stampin Up Occasions catalog! 

My projects use the All About Love Designer Series Paper, the Meant to Be stamp set and the colors Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White and a pop of Balmy Blue.

To decorate the front of the bag, I used the new Be Mine Framelits in the new Occasions catalog. I layered the colors of Flirty Flamingo, Lovely Lipstick, Balmy Blue and Whisper White. I cut 2 of each out as I will used the second set when making the coordinating card.

What do you think??? I hope you like my projects!

The Incredible Like You Project Kit is a beautiful card kit! You will complete 16 cards - 4 each of 4 designs! The cards are just gorgeous!  I have shown you several videos of NEW Stampin Up products over the course of a week!!!! You must have a wish list that keeps growing!!! Well, you could earn products for free simply by gathering a few friends and family over to make the Incredible Like You Project kit! Each one of your guests would have pre-purchased the kit, I would have the stamp set and inks!
So let's think about this for a minute; each Incredible Like You kit cost $27.00 (before tax/shipping)
If you had 6 guests attend your workshop - that is a total of $162.00 
You earn 10% in host credit with a $150 workshop
You would earn not 1, not 2, BUT 3 Sale-A-Bration exclusive products AND $16.20 in towards free product of your choice! WOW 
And if you had 10 guests attend, that's $270.00 ...which would be a total of 5 FREE Sale-A-Bration products and $27.00 towards free product of your choice. 

Now, the good news is, you wouldn't just be attending a party where I just sit and talk and talk....nope this is hands on, A craft night out in the comfort of your own home! Everyone would leave with an amazing set of cards! That they can share with their friends and family. And with any orders placed you would receive the 10% free credit from the order totals (before tax and shipping)
