I know many of my followers do not send out Valentine's cards or do the treat thing and that's okay. It may be because they think of Valentine's Day in it's traditional form, a day for lovers. I like to use the day to simply tell someone I'm either thinking of them or I love them. That includes my husband, of course, and my 25 year old daughter but also my sister and my now over the ages of 20 niece and nephews. And, Valentine' Day gives me yet another opportunity to sit at my craft table and create. I didn't have to think very hard about what to make - the Occasions catalogue presented ideas right off the pages. Take a look at pages 18 and 19. Wow! Shades of pink, white and gold! Unfortunately the images do not give justice to the designer series paper. It is absolutely gorgous. And heavy weight so it's perfect for gift packaging. With the new Occasions catalogue, making something heart themed was pretty easy. The designer series paper was reason enough...

I cannot say enough good things about Stampin' Up!'s designer series papers. It is exceptional quality good for card making and three dimensional projects. Unfortunately the catalogues do not show off the papers very well and I was quite pleased to see a video that shows each sheet, both sides, for all the paper packages in the Occasions catalogue. Here it is. Enjoy! View the SAB brochure  here . View the Occasions catalogue  here . Note : If you are subscribed to my blog, you will get each post delivered to your inbox.

This 12 x 12 paper is so cute. You get two each of six double-sided designs. This 12 x 12 paper is so cute.  As with all the 12 x 12 paper packs, you get two each of six double-sided designs. It coordinates with the Bubble Over stamp set and the Bottles & Bubbles framelits dies from the Occasions (spring/summer) catalogue.

Stampin' Up! offers multiple spend options during Sale-A-Bration this year. What does that mean? Well this stamp set is a two set combo. To earn it, you need to spend a qualifying order in the amount of $120. I love this set because it features a greeting as the focal point on a card. In my opinion this makes for a quick and easy card. Stamp the greeting on Whisper White or Very Vanilla and adhere to a designer series paper background. This super versatile set has greetings for every occasion in a beautiful script font. Carrie demonstrates this versatile stamp set in this video. View the SAB brochure  here .
