Build a Blossom Card

2010-12-31T17:53:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year to all my stampin' friends. I can't believe another year has flown by, but here we are in 2011. One of my goals this year will be to be more active in updating my blog and making it something to keep you updated on my card making and events that I have scheduled.

Below is a card I made yesterday, using the new Build a Blossom stamp set and the coordinating punch.

This workshop will be focused around using some of the retiring colors. It has been 5 years since SU has revised their Pallette, and they have decided to retire some old colors and introduce some exciting new ones. I will offer 20% off on any ink pads, card stocks, and re-inkers from the retiring list. This discount will only be available if you order at the workshop or by phone within 2 days of the workshop. It is not available on on-line orders. If you have some favorites, now will be the time to order, as once the colors are gone they will be gone forever.

Scrapbook Page for Color Challenge #26

2010-03-30T09:01:00.000-07:00

I just completed this scrapbook page of my little grandson Charlie. It turns out the colors are exactly those that are required in the Color Challenge on Cards & Things Challenge Blog, so I thought I would submit it to that site. These shots were taken while Charlie was playing in front of the book case. He is only 14 months old, but almost looks like he is ready to read, so I thought I would use that as my theme.

I used Stampin' Up's My Digital Studio Software for this layout.

Framed Easter Egg

2010-03-25T17:07:00.000-07:00

I got this idea From the Make It and Love It Blog. I thought it would look really cute in the Rich Razzleberry Designer Paper and In Colors. It will make a cute Easter decoration for someone. One of my lucky Workshop attendants will win this at my workshop on Saturday!

Sale-a-bration and Occasions Mini Catalog will be arriving in your mailbox soon. Both of these catalogs will start on January 5. Sale-a-bration is the best promotion of the year allowing you to earn extra free merchandise. For every $50 purchase, you can pick one free product out of the Sale-a-bration catalog, or from the list in the back of the flyer. In addition, if you host a $300 workshop, you can also earn a free product. This is the best time of the year to host. These free product offerings are in addition to all the other generous hostess benefits. Get you friends together, and host a workshop during this promotion period.

The Occasions Mini Catalog is packed with spring seasonal products, including new stamp sets, papers and punches.

Both of these catalogs introduce our new Acrylic mount stamp sets and newly designed punches.

Going forward you will have the option of purchasing your stamps either the traditional wood mounted style or the New Clear-mount style. The advantages of the clear mount style are decreased cost for each stamp set, and less storage space requirements. See page 6 of the new mini catalog for a complete description of our new clear mount stamp design.

The new punch style also has the great benefit of requiring less space for storage, has greater punching leverage, and allows for larger punch images. See page 10 of the new mini catalog for complete descriptions.

I am looking forward to introducing these new products to you in 2010.

In Colors and Razzle Dazzle

2009-10-06T11:50:00.000-07:00

Razzle Dazzle is the first set I purchased from the new catalog, along with all the in colors. So far I haven't used the stamp set, and have only occasionally used the new colors. For today's challenge it was time to work with all of that and this is the result. I really like this set and the in colors are great with it. Those colors are really growing on me and I love working with them. They really make striking cards because the colors are so bold.

Stamp Set: Razzle Dazzle, Upsy Daisy (sentiment)

Papers: Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango, Rich Razzleberry Card Stock

Inks: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Dusty Durango, Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay Markers, Basic Brown Ink

Simply Scrappin' Christmas Card

2009-10-06T11:29:00.000-07:00

Hi, for today's Monday Lunchtime Challenge I decided to use the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit. Over the weekend I used my kit to design a stamp-a-stack class for later this month. There were a lot of elements left over, so I used some of them for this challenge. It was pretty easy, no stamping, just cut and paste. I love making cards with the SS Kits. You can get so many cards out of one, by just adding a little extra card stock.

Stamps: none

Papers: Old Olive Card Stock, Real Red Card Stock, Chocolate Chip Card Stock

Accessories: Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit, Sleigh Bells Old Olive Ribbon, Clear Rhinestone Brads, Modern Label Punch.

Upsy Daisy Thank You Card

2009-10-05T13:45:00.001-07:00

Today I made another card for a sketch challenge on the Stamping 411 website. I had some left over card cutouts from my workshop on Saturday, so it added the additional challenge of using materials I already had on hand and making them work for this sketch. I already had a lot of Christmas and Fall cards, so decided on a thank you card, which I often need.

Stamp Sets: Upsy Daisy, Falling Leaves (sentiment)

Papers: Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Kraft, Whisper White Card Stock, Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP

Inks: Rose Red, Soft Suede

Accessories: Eyelet Border Punch, Modern Label Punch, Earth Elements Brad, Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon, 1/16" hole punch.

Mojo Monday Challenge 106

2009-09-28T19:18:00.000-07:00

I sat down to do a challenge based on the Sketch on the Mojo Monday Website. I think I like the idea I had for the card, but I think it needed a little more color somehow. But anyway, here it is. I love this stamp set, and have not ended up using it as much as I thought I would. It was time to get it out and try some new ideas.

Stamp Sets: Holy Triptych, Many Merry Messages

Papers: Kraft, Ruby Red and Ivory Naturals card stock, Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper

Inks: Basic Brown, Ruby Red

Accessories: Sponges, Pastels, Blender Pens, More Mustard 1/4" Gros Grain Ribbon, Earth Elements Brad, Modern Label Punch

Sketch 118 for Stamping 411

2009-09-26T12:31:00.000-07:00

Top Image: Card Inside

Bottom Image: Card Front

I sat down this morning to create a card for the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #SSC118. My mind has been going to Christmas Card creations lately and I have several new sets that have been waiting for me since before my vacation. We had a great vacation by the way. Cool weather, lots of bicycling and relaxing in Yosemite and on the California Coast.

Anyway back to stamping. I wanted to use "Berry Christmas" out of the Holiday Mini Catalog and the new word set "Many Merry Messages". I have not invested in much Designer paper as of yet, so used all card stock and did some background stamping to create the accents for the card. You can really make a lot of your own contrasting papers in this way, and really make them coordinate well with the rest of the card. I am pleased with how this turned out. I also put some white card stock inside (top image), which I usually do when the base of my card is a darker color card stock. I hope you like my contribution to this challenge.

Stamp Sets: Many Merry Messages, Berry Christmas

Inks: Real Red, Old Olive, Crushed Curry

Papers: Real Red, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Whisper White card stock

Accessories: circle cutter, Mistle Toe Old Olive Ribbon Originals, sponges

I will be on vacation from September 7, until September 24. We will be enjoying some of our favorite camping spots in Yosemite and down the California Coast from Monterey to Pismo Beach. On-line ordering is always available, and I will try to do a blog entry or two while I am gone. I really need to get a Lap top so I can stay connected, but so far that is not in my future. I hope to see many of you at my next event, World Card Making Day, October 3, 2009.

Mojo Monday Week 102 Challenge

2009-09-02T00:26:00.000-07:00

This sketch made me think of the Medallion Stamp once again. I think this is going to be one of my favorite stamps!. I was going for a mainly monochromatic look, with a slight hint of color. It doesn't show up real well on the picture, but the center of the medallion has the Champagne Shimmer paint on it and it gives it a really nice look.

Stamps: Medallion, Happy Everything, Beautiful Thing
Inks: Sahara Sand, Soft Suede
Papers: Kraft, Ivory Naturals, Soft Suede, and Blush Blossom Cardstock
Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, Clear Ice Brads, Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon, Champagne Shimmer Paint, Sponges.

Today's card is for the Challenge on The Stamping 411 Blog. This was a fun sketch. I am finding just thinking about a sketch and how I am going to do it is really good for my creativity. I just got the Medallion Stamp in my order this week and have been anxious to use it, so here is my first card with this great stamp.

Paper: Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, and Pacific Point Cardstock
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Small Circle Brad Gold Elastic Cord,
Misc. Notes: Torn edge and circle brad embossed with versamark and gold embossing powder.

Online Ordering Now Available

2008-10-16T19:19:00.001-07:00

It is now possible to order directly on line. The way to do this is to go to stampinup.com and find the box that says "order on line". This will take you to the shopping page. Near the top of the page there is a small clickable shopping bag icon that takes you to a registration page and allows you to choose your demonstrator. The reason to pick your demonstrator is because you get the lowest prices that way. If you don't pick a demonstrator, all products are a little higher in cost. Also this allows you to give credit for the sale to the demonstrator you have always worked with, and she will be the one to follow up with you for any customer service issues related to your order. One of the advantages of ordering online is that it is available 24/7 so you can do it at your convenience, and you don't have to wait for a workshop to place an order. The same hostess benefits apply if you reach an award level, but only if you have gone through the demonstrator selection process. If you have any questions about this process, please give me a call.
