Eastern Blooms Bookmark

Good morning!

Today's project is a bookmark and it was one of the projects we made at our Stampin' Up! Convention last summer.  I knew when we made it that I would be saving it for one of my Spring projects. 

The addition of the New Old Olive Striped Ribbon is just what I was needing to put my own twist on it. The flower is from the Eastern Blooms stamp set & I used the Old Olive Craft Ink to color the Essentials Chipboard.  I used the Filgree Brads in the center of the flower & on the end of the ribbon.

Stamp club members.... this is one of your February projects.  If you've joined my 3-D Kit Club.... this is one of your projects too :)  Today is the last day to sign up for the February projects. If you pay your shipping fee after today...your club projects will start in March.  Click here for more details on my 3-D Kit club.

Happy Heart Day

Good morning!!

Isn't this project so cute?  It was one of the swaps I received at Leadership (swaps are one of the highlights of all Stampin' Up! events).

Although I made a box like this (years ago) I never would have thought to make it a block of cheese. 

The Happy Heart Day Stamp set is where you can find the mouse (I like to call him Stuart Little) & the punches include 1/8", 1/4", 3/4" & I".

Have a great day!! 

p.s. Just a reminder....If you order during Sale-a-bration, don't forget to add your free selections to your order.

p.s.s. If you'd like to become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator,  the Starter Kit is on sale and you get an additional free stamp set....let me know if you need more info :)

Love you much Magnets

Good morning!!

Today I'm sharing with you one of the 3-D swaps that I received at Leadership. 

 She used the Love you Much stamp set and the Candy Lane Designer Paper. 

 This project has a lot of Stampin' Up! product.  She used a Circle & the Top Note die for the topper.  She stamped White Stazon on the medium cello bag.  The heart in the middle of the magnet is the Essentials Chipboard and it's covered with Chunky Sprinkles Glitter. 

The Love birds are super cute...she stamped them on the Candy Lane Designer Paper & cut them out....did I word that right? 

Have a great day!

p.s. If you joined my 3-D Kit Club, click here to go to that website (you'll need the password I sent you yesterday). In the future, you can find the link on the right side bar.

p.s.s. The tiles can be found at Home Depot, they measure 1 7/8 x 1 7/8 and you add a magnet strip on the back :)

Super busy day

Hi,  I couldn't resist saying a quick hi!  I spent 90% of my day running reports for January and then updating websites.....etc...the list is long.  I'm sorry I didn't get around to stamping anything...I'll try my best tomorrow (Sunday).

Here's some notes.....I added January sales to my Customer Appreciation Punch Card Spreadsheet.  If you earned a punch in January you should have gotten an email from me today...unless you you're getting a new card...in that case....they are ready to go in the mail on Monday :)

If you Joined my Team this past week....I sent some "Getting Started" info to you today (I'm so excited, I've been needing to update my documents and I got a large part of it done today).  Thanks Donna for coming over & helping me!!

Thanks for being my friends, customers, downline...etc....I appreciate you all!!

Goodnight!   (see ya tomorrow)

Thoughts & Prayers

Good morning!!

Today's card is super easy to make and it's one of the reasons I bought the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set. 

 I love making simple one layer cards!!  The sentiment came from another stamp set that I love and it's the Trendy Trees ( same page as the Good Friend stamp set...page 91).

I've got lots of computer work to do today!! Here's a few of the things I'm working on......

*If you joined my 3-D Kit Club, I'll be wrapping up building the new blog and if all goes well you'll get the password today or tomorrow. 

*If you're a new member to My Team....I'm retyping your welcome letter today. Now that I'm offering some incentives for you, I want that in writing in your welcome letter...don't forget to check our Team Blog, I've been updating it daily this week :)

Thanks for stopping by....Have a great day!!

p.s. If you're placing an Online order on my Stampin' Up! website, please make sure you select your FREE Sale-a-bration choices.  The system will let you close your order without it.  We're hoping that will get fixed soon.

Cheep Talk

Good morning!!

Today I'm showing you the Box #2 again....but this time .....I used the other side of the Good Morning Sunshine paper.  Last week I showed you the side with Chocolate and today I'm showing you the Pacific Point.  It's a good thing Stampin' Up! put the Cheep Talk stamp set in our Idea Book & Catalog...otherwise I made not have ever used the Pacific Point color.  (What was I thinking? It's a very rich color and I like it!)

Thanks for stopping by.......Have a great day!! 

Stamps:  Cheep Talk

Ink:  Pacific Point

Cardstock:  Good morning Sunshine Designer Paper, Pacific Point & Whisper White

Other:  Pacific Point Striped Ribbon,Stampin' Dimensionals, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, Paper Piercer, Chic Stand & Thread

p.s. Has your weather been as crazy as it has been here in Overland Park, Kansas?  Today it was 23....I'm freezing!  It was sunny out and I thought it was warm so I left the house without a jacket....big mistake!!!

Animal Crackers

 

Good morning!!

Quick post today....my "to do list" is a mile long :)

I used the Animal Crackers stamp set with the Good Morning Sunshine Designer Paper.  I used the Texturz plates to emboss the So Saffron cardstock.   (Don't look to closely at the ribbon, I had to use some retired ribbon.  This will make you laugh...I searched every where for my Chocolate Grosgrain ribbon and after giving up, I found it right under my nose...I scare myself!)

Have a good one!

Free stamp set

Congrats Kate McKay!!! You won the Darling Dots stamp set!

The February Free stamp set is .......back by popular demand ...... Darling Dots again :) But not to worry, if you already own that set, I have several other sets for you to choose from. If you win you can let me know at that time and I'll give you the list of sets I have.  Good luck :)

Thanks!! 

p.s. When placing an online order during Sale-a-bration, please make sure you select your free stamps (or ribbon or designer paper).

A Little Somethin'

Good morning!!

My card today is one that I made for Leadership swaps.  I’ve been so busy I almost forgot to show you.  Can I tell you a secret?  I never swapped my cards…..I worked on them on the airplane but I just never got around to attaching the scallop circle… to all 70 of them.  Now I have a nice stash of thank you cards J

I used A Little Somethin’ stamp set and it’s a Level two hostess set.  If you’d like to earn this set, now is the perfect time to host your own catalog show.  Pass the catalog around to your friends & family and don’t forget to mention Sale-a-bration!  I bet you won’t have any trouble reaching a $300 show.  (With a $300 show, that’s 6 Free Sale-a-bration sets, $35 in Free Product and a Level one or a Level two hostess set.)  Please let me know if you’d like to book a catalog show!

Several girls have ask me what are my favorite hostess sets …..here’s my list:

Level One - Darling Dots, Sweet Little Sentiments & Comfort Foods (in the order I like them ).

Level Two  - A Little Somethin’ & Itty Bitty Buds

Level Three  - Hand Drawn Bundle & Goody Goody Gumdrops

Currently I’m drawn to Darling Dots and A Little Somethin’ ….kinda like I was drawn to Deer Friends and Window Dressings in the last catalog.

I’ll post again later today I need to announce the FREE Stamp set for February and the winner for January.

One last note, I received a lot of questions about my scallop circles.  Yes, Stampin' Up! only has one Scallop punch....but we also have Big Shot dies that have scallops and I've been using them.  My most favorite is the Pennant Die and I can punch three at one time with a small strip of cardstock. I keep a small jar on my desk and I have a bunch of them ready at a moments notice. 

Have a great day!

 

Stamps:  A Little Somethin'

Ink:  Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze & Kiwi Kiss

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze & Kiwi Kiss

Other: Big Shot, Big Shot Pennant Die, 1 3/4 Circle Punch, In color Striped Ribbon & Stamin' Dimensionals

 p.s. I’ve once again pushed back a project I’m eager to show you.  I decided to film my video first.  Hopefully in a few days I'll have it ready! Two teens, two dogs, one hubby, cell phone and home phone...it's not easy finding quit time in my house lately...maybe there's something in the water :0  just kidding!!

 

Join my Team Gifts

Raspberry Tart gift set- includes Stampin' Up! pencil pouch & Stampin' Up! pencil. (When I first joined as a demonstrator I could not get my hands on enough items that had the Stampin' Up! logo on them!!)  You can use the pouch as a make up bag or a money holder.

Three months 3-D Kit Club- This picture is a little confusing ....you're not getting the projects that are in that picture...you're getting the future club projects.  For example, the Box #2 that I shared on my blog a few days ago is one of the February club projects. My picture has an example of what my past projects have been.  Your kit will mail at the same time as my customers...on the 15th of each month. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

p.s. If you're one of my wonderful customers & you're not interested in joining...I totally understand. Most of my posts are sharing cute ideas because I love to share.  But when Stampin' Up! has such a deal on the kit...I can't contain myself  and I want to shout it from the roof :)  I had planned to show you a project today...but I'm going to save it for tomorrow.  Thanks!!
