Happy Birthday Stampin’ Up!  It’s their birthday this week and they want to celebrate!  What better way to celebrate than having a sale?!

For one week and one week only they are offering 25 stamp sets at 25% off!  There’s some great sets on sale so be sure to check them all out on my website.  I have to go place my order now!  Don’t wait!  The sale ends October 28th!

Back to fall!  I made this card for a Shoebox Swap with some of my fellow demonstrators.   Shoebox Swaps are just one of the many fun aspects of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and a member of my SASsy Stampers Team.   At a Shoebox Swap you design a card and cut all the pieces and parts for everyone attending.  Then we pass around the shoeboxes and make everyone else’s cards.  You get great ideas and get to hang out with friends.

Have you thought about becoming a demonstrator?  20% discount, a little extra income, new friends?  Now is the PERFECT time!  For two weeks only, starting tomorrow October 7th, you can join my team for only $25!  Yes, that’s right!  $25!  The price of the Starter Kit has never been this low.  Now is the time!

As a demonstrator you have a quarterly minimum in sales of $300 that you have to achieve which would mean that the next minimum would be due December 31st.  BUT….as a NEW demonstrator you don’t have to reach this minimum until March 31st!  How great is that?!

Contact me today for more information!  Don’t miss out on this fabulous opportunity!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

It’s here!  It’s here!  This fabulous little tool is SO cool!  You can make 66 different size envelopes with it!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Thank you!  Thank you! Thank you!  Because of my loyal customers and your support of my business I earned Stampin’ Up!’s Getaway Trip to San Diego this year!  Woo Hoo!

I am SO excited!  This is the first incentive trip I’ve earned with Stampin’ Up! and I couldn’t have done it without all of you.  Thank you!

The trip is September 12-15 so be sure to check back after that to find out about my big weekend.   I’ve got to start figuring out some fun things to do while we’re there!

Thanks again!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Hello!  Today’s project is one we made at my Spring Fling back in the beginning of May.  I was reminded that I hadn’t posted it while making four of them in the past couple of days!  We’re heading back to the MN Homeland in a couple of days and I made some for my mom and sisters.

They’re really quite easy to make.  The card case itself is made from one of Stampin’ Up!’s Clear Mount Stamp Cases.  All I did was cut a piece of designer paper 10 5/8″ x 7″ and slip it between the plastic protector and the case!  Then just decorate away!  I’m sorry to say though if you like the center of my flower that the Designer Brads from the spring Occasions Catalog aren’t available any more but you could easily substitute something else.

The cards were pretty easy to make also.  What you can’t see in the picture is that I scored the card front lengthwise twice (at 1 1/2″ and 3″)and adhered the card stock strip between the scored lines.  It really added a nice touch to the simple card.

The envelope was easy also when I used the diagonal plate for my Simply Scored.  I’ll show you how I made that in a future video.

Have a great day!  Take care and happy Stamping!

Such a pretty card….

I’ve seen lots of beautiful projects made with this Wildflower Meadow stamp set.  This one is pretty easy.  Probably the most difficult part of making this card is coloring the Whisper White Taffeta ribbon with the Sponge Dauber to make it Wisteria Wonder!

Stamp the image, run it through the Big Shot with the coordinating embossing folder, spritz it with shimmer mist, add your ribbon and you’re done!  Oh….don’t forget the pearls!

There’s a couple of those steps that you can’t really see from the picture.  If you look close enough you can tell that the image is embossed but you can’t see that I spritzed the card with shimmer mist.  It did really add a bit of pizzazz to the card….honest!  😀

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

It’s time for a Color Revamp at Stampin’ Up!  How fun!  Sometimes change is hard and sometimes it’s just plain FUN!  Most of the colors coming into the Stampin’ Up! color families are past In-Colors.  There’s only one brand new color.  Check out the chart below for all of the changes!  I am so excited that Pear Pizzazz is coming back but I’m a little disappointed that Concord Crush didn’t make the change….oh, well….maybe next time.

I had a busy but fun day yesterday.  I got to go with my future daughter-in-law as she tried on wedding dresses.  There are SO man dresses out there!  It was interesting to see that most of them are strapless these days.  Very pretty though.  She looked so beautiful in the dresses.  I think she has things narrowed down but she’s got a few coming in in her size to try on.  Sometimes it’s hard to tell when they’re way to big here or a little snug there.

Anyway….at the last place we were at they had these fun books on display.  Aren’t they neat.  My picture taking needs a little help but the word LOVE is carved into the pages of the first book and I DO is carved into the second book.  I don’t think I’ve seen anything like that before.  Have you?

Well, back to stamping today and cutting for next week’s classes.  I received my “This & That” stuff the other day and I can’t wait to play with it!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
