Saturday, Feb 16, I drove from Houston to attend the Stampin' Up! Dallas Regional Event. Six hundred Stampin' Up! demonstrators and guests decided to join me there! I didn't realize how much I needed a break from my daily routine --which doesn't include enough time in my stamp loft. I returned refreshed and inspired by the new techniques and project ideas!

I used the Comfort Cafe Designer kit in My Digital Studio software and created a couple of pages to share some of the many, many inspirational presentations and display boards at the Dallas Regional.

Shelli, Stampin' Up! CEO, demonstrated, New Table Friends, and great project ideas

Here are a couple of the display boards from around the ballroom.

I also made a few swaps to take with me to the Dallas Regional.

I'll share some of the swaps I received in return over the next couple of weeks. I used the images from the Everybunny stamp set from the main catalog. I got it too late to use last year, so I very happy it was in the 2013 catalog and I could use it this year.

Valentine treats and card

Valentine Cellophane treats and card
Stampin' Up! is coming to Dallas for a day of Stampin' - Feb 16, 2013
Get Free Products during Sale-A-Bration - for each $50 order

I'm making these wonderful treats for my friends at work. I can't wait to fill my candy dish with these wonderful treats. I used the same color theme and design elements to make a matching card. I'm make more treats and send them to my mom to have on hand for visits from the grandchildren.

I used the 1" X 8" Cellophane Bags (124134) to make these cute treats. The Window frame die cut is layered with the heart from Hearts a Flutter and then topped with a heart stamped with the Love Heart single stamp (132334) and punched with the Heart punch.

The new 7/8" cotton ribbon (127844) from the Spring Catalog is so easy to work with. It matches the Naturals Ivory card stock well.

I quickly pulled together this card using some of the elements from the candy sleeves. All of the framelit dies and Impression folders offered by Stampin' Up! help make cards like this fast and easy. I planned on making more of these cute treat sleeves filled with Cinnamon Jelly Hearts, but after I ate all the first contain, I found that the grocery store didn't have any more! I'm kicking myself for not buying more! I guess some other people found out how good they were too -- and its still 3 weeks before Valentine's Day!

Recipe
Stamps: Hearts a Flutter (w-129249; c-129252); Love Heart (Single Stamp) (132334)
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Naturals Ivory (101849), Pretty in Pink
Inks: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black
Accessories: Hearts a Flutter Framelit Dies (130159), Windows Frames collection Framelit Dies (129021), 7/8" Cotton Ribbon (127844), Raspberry Dahlias (127556), 1" X 8" Cellophane Bags (124134), Fancy Fold Impression Folders (127751), Heart Punch, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and cutting plates.
