Suzie Q's Three on Thursday - County Bouquet, Dainty Delight, and By The Bay

 Hello Stampers!

I am so glad you stopped by today. I have some exciting news. I purchased some new equiment that I hope will improve the quality of my videos and pictures posted here. Let me know what you think.

It's been busy here at Suzie Q's, I took my mom to visit a friend who has stage 4 cancer. She will stay with her for a couple of weeks. Finally got my car back after being in the shop for 3 weeks. I almost didn't remember how to drive. 

Now for today's cards. I love all the different designer paper Stampin' Up! ® has to offer in the January - April Mini Catalog. Today I am using paper from the County Bouquet Suite and By The Bay Suite. Keep in mind that all the cards can be altered using any designer paper. One thing I love about Stampin' Up! ® paper is everything corrdinates beautifully, not guessing what inks and cardstocks match.

Suzie Q's Three on Thursday January 19, 2023 Fancy Flora

Hello everyone, so glad you stopped by today. I have been working on perfecting my blog for a couple of months and its' a work in progress. I am learning so much about blogging and such. The lights I have are not very good for taking photos of my cards so I decided to take a leap and bought some new equipment that should help. I can't wait for it to arrive.

Enough chit-chat, let me explain today's post and the cards. I CASEd the first two cards but have since lost my information on the origianl designers. If you designed these, please accept my appologies for not naming you to give you credit. There are so many great stampers out there.

I just love the new papers that Stampin' Up!® has to offer in the January to April Mini Catalog. For the first two cards I used the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper and made that the focal point of the card.

For the last card I wanted something more masculine and used In The County. This is a Free stamp set from the Sale a-bration broucher with a qualifing order of $50 before tax and shipping. A great thing about this set is you can color the images or stamp in one color like I did. 

If you don't already have a demonstrator, I would love to get to know you. Send an email requesting the catalogs and I will be happy to send to you for the cost of mailing. After placing your first order I will send you a free gift equil to the mailing costs.

Stampin' Up! ® Two-Tone Flora combind with Something Fancy Bundle

Welcome to the first Training Blog Hop of 2023 with Kyle Bertucci. I am so excited that you stopped by. Demonstrators from around the world are doing training to meet personal goals for their Stampin' Up! ® business. Many of us participate in a monthly Blog Hop which helps us meet some of these goals. One goal I have for 2023 is to be more active posting to my blog on a weekly basis. So, please come back and see what I am accomplishing in 2023. 

January has not started off so good, but I know it will get better. Personally, I have had many set backs in the first week of this first year not only in my business, but personal as well. I could have let these obstacles get in the way but I understand that each day is new and how I react is the key to making life better.

I designed my customer thank you cards using two new bundles found in the January - April Mini Catalog. My foscus is on the beautiful flowers from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set. I used sentiments and a die from the Something Fancy Bundle.

I used Balmy Blue and Starry Sky for the flowers and Soft Succulent for the leaves. The embellishments are the Pastel Pearls. I love this color combination. Anyone who places an order through me will receive one of these beautiful cards in January.  Place an order be sure to use my current host code found on the upper right of this page.

If you don't already have a Stampin' Up! ® demonstrator, I would love to become your personal creative coach. Contact me and I will be happy to send you catalog. Also, now is a great time to become a demonstrator. You can check out the details at Join my team. 

Instructions for this card: Card base Thick Basic White cut 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4". Starry Sky layer 5-1/4" x 4, and a Basic White layer for stamping. Begin by stamping the flowers in Balmy Blue and the detail stamp in Starry Sky. I then added leaves uisng Soft Succulent. I used the sentiment from the Something Fancy Bundle and used two dies from the bundle. 

Please visit the other demonstrators participating in this Blog Hop.

Do what you Love, Love what you Do!

Stampin' Up!® Fragrant Flowers Bundle

 Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe it's already the second week in January and this is my first post. Things didn't start out well for me and I would like a do-over for the first week in January.  First, my car quit, had to have it towed to the shop only to find out my trans-axle went out. Then my mom's car had to have repairs and on the same day my heat went out. They said they couldn't come to fix until January 11. So, we bought some space heaters and are keeping warm. I take care of my 84 year old mom and she fell on New Years Eve, no she hadn't been drinking, LOL, she just loses her balance and falls. Took her to the emergency room on the second because of course she dind't want to go on a Sunday. Mom was going shopping on Saturday the 7th and took another fall outside. Yep, another trip to the emergency room. When she hits her head she has to be checked out because of medication she takes. All this in one week  and I'm ready for 2023 to be over. 

The greatest thing that happend in the first week of January was the launch of the New January to April Mini Catalog and Sale a-bration. Even with all the unforeseen problems I was so excited about the new products offered by Stampin' Up!® and made time to creat a few projects using items from the catalog.

I used the Fragrant Flowers Bundle with the Favored Flower Designer Series Paper from the Sale a-bration brochure. This paper is so beautiful and it's FREE with a $50 order. The dies from the Fragrant Flowers Bundle will cut the flowers from the paper. So easy to make simple cards.
