Love You Much Promotion

Good morning! Today I want to tell you about the Love You Much Promotion. This is a great promotion at a great price!

Click here to see the flier for this great sale!

The awesome thing about this bundle is that it is 20% off through the end of the month! That's right - 20% off! You get the Love you Much Stamp set, a package of Candy Cane Designer paper (who doesn't love pink and brown together?), and a coordinating punch. That's right - the punch coordinates with one of the stamps so you don't have to hand cut out the hearts. Celebrate HERE!

This is the first card that I made using this set, and I just love the colors! The base of the card is Riding Hood Red Cardstock, and then a layer of Close to Cocoa underneath a layer of Candy Lane Designer Paper. The hearts are all stamped, then punched and then propped up on blocks (dimensionals). A tiny bit of Chocolate Chip Ribbon and it's done! So cute!

I have many more samples of cards made with this great new set, so stay tuned on these days leading up until Valentine's Day. Can you believe we are already to the next holiday? I bought some Valentine candy yesterday at Target, and it seemed weird....especially since I still had my Christmas wreath on the door. That was the first thing to come down when I got home!

Card Recipe:
Stamp Set: Love You Much
CardStock: Riding Hood Red, Close to Cocoa
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Close to Cocoa, Pink Pirouette
Accessories: Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Dimensionals, Corner Rounder Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Candy Lane Designer Paper

Thanks for stopping by!

December Stamp Club

Can you believe 2 posts in one day?! I am on a roll, I tell you! I'm trying to be better about posting, I promise.

Tonight is December's Stamp Club, and we are making some fantastic Christmas items. If you are interested in joining my Stamp Club, contact me. We would love to have you. We meet once a month at my house, make 3 make and takes, place an order and have a great time. Here are the great things are are making tonight.

The first one is a gift card holder. What is an easier gift that giving someone a gift card? And this is super easy to whip up if you are in a crunch or great to have on hand for those last minute parties! The great thing about this card is that it is made from an envelope folded in half, and then embellished as you desire. The envelope forms a pocket for your card!


Card Recipe:
Stamp Set: (retired)
Ink: Real Red
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Real Red, Whisper White
Accessories: Dimensionals, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 1/4" punc, 1 3/8" punch, Alpine ribbon, Ski Slope Designer Paper, Naturals Ivory Standard Envelope

The next card we will be making is a spinner card! Have you ever made a spinner card? They are super fun, and I would love to show you how! The "spinner" part in this one is the snowflake, which is covered in dazzling diamonds glitter, of course! By using dimensionals and a few pennies, this makes quite the "action" card!


Card Recipe:
Stamp Set: Snow Burst and (retired)
Ink: Basic Black, Bashful Blue
Cardstock: Whisper White, Bashful Blue
Accessories: Dimensionals, Word Window Punch, DSP (retired)

The last card we will be making is a great pocket card. The pocket makes a great place to put a photo, a note, a newspaper clipping, money, whatever it suits your fancy! I just love the Winter Post set that is in the Holiday Mini this year. I can't get enough, which is probably why I use it for the majority of the holiday cards I have made. I also just love the Felt Flurries cuz they bring an extra level of fun to the card!

Here is a shot of the inside "postcard". You could easily adhere a photo to the back of this and treat it like a true postcard for your holiday card. How fun would that be? We decided that with as little as we did this year because of being busy with work and building the new house, we have very few pictures of the two of us. So, no picture this year!


Recipe:
Stamp Set: Winter Post
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Baja Breeze
CardStock: Kraft, Real Red, Whisper White, Baja Breeze
Accessories: Real Red Ribbon, Felt Flurries, Baja Breeze Ribbon, Jumbo Eyelet, Dimensionals, Round Tab Punch, Designer Label Punch, Horizontal Slot Punch, Natural Hemp Twine
Techniques: Sponging

Sorry that I can't think of the names of the 2 retired sets I used (sorry about using retired sets too!). I am at work and since I can't remember them from my head and don't have access to the stamp sets, I will add these later!
Thanks for stopping by! Can't wait to make these tonight!

Welcome!

Hello all! I am going to try this blogging thing. I am fortunate enough to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, and want to be able to share my business with you. Stampin' Up! offers their own website (which I am now trying free for 2 months), but can't see spending money to show you my samples when I can show them to you for free here!

So, here goes. Come back as often as you would like, I will try to post items a few times a week as inspiration - that will be my goal.
My first post is my Halloween card that I sent to my family, which I think turned out really well! I used a retired set (sorry!), but just love the mummy!




Hope you enjoy the mummy, "I love my Mummy" hehe - that's what I put on the inside of my mom's card. Note: if you send cards in the clear envelopes, they will charge your recipient an extra 20 cents....so you might want to add that on! :) (Sorry Sherry and Jody)

Thanks for stopping by!
