12 Weeks of Halloween Week #8

The Halloween Owl is the 8th project for my 12 Weeks of Halloween.

I used 6" Lollipop Sticks or you can also make them with large Paperclips.

I used the Owl Punch along with the Petite Pennant Builder Punch and I made the broom using a RETIRED Paper Piecing Punch.

The colors are Old Olive, Basic Black, Cajun Craze and Whisper White.

Punch Pages & Instructions

Hey there,   I'm happy to say I'm finished with the Punch Pages & Instructions and they're loaded on my Chic' n Scratch Shack. Click here to go there now.  You'll find all the instructions located on the left side bar.  

I've had several people ask me how I prepared them so I thought I would let you all download one for free.   Since the Alligator is my favorite after I accidentally made him buck toothed in my video I decided that he would be the free one.  (Watch the Bloopers #2 video if you want to see the buck toothed Alligator, I'm still cracking up over that one!!) 

 Click here to download the Alligator Punch Page & Instructions.  The first three pages are the list of product and instructions and the last page can be printed on white cardstock and cut out to put in your Punch Book.  It should fit pretty well in a 6 x 6 page protector. 

See ya tomorrow!

p.s. if you download my Alligator Punch Page & Instructions and want to share with me what you think, that would be great!  I'm always looking for ways to improve what I offer.

p.s. I really didn't want to say this....but I had to go back to the doctor yesterday. I felt good for two whole days and then I got sick all over again.  My doctor gave me a much stronger medicine and I'll be on it for two weeks.  I hope this clears it up, if I not I'll have to go see the Ear, Nose & Throat doctor.  It's such a weird sinus infection & I can't wait until I feel normal again!!! (Sinus headaches are the worst!!)

Good morning!  

This is what I'm working on....the Horse Punch Page.  I've filmed the video but You Tube isn't loading.  I'll keep trying but in the meantime I'm punching like crazy.  I'll share a few photos next week of the assembly line production of the Punch Pages.

Animal Punch Pages

Hi, I spent many hours reading all the emails I received regarding my Punch Book and with a little help from my friends we decided that I had to offer several choices (based on the feedback). 

Here's the details......please make sure you read all the details before you click to order.

Animal Punch Pages - Option #1 - Instructions that include the Punch Page $4 each animal (see button on the left side bar of my Chic' n Scratch Shack).

Purchase the instructions for each animal and the final page of the instructions will include a photo of my Punch Page.  You can print that last page on Whisper White Cardstock, cut it and slide it right into your Punch Book.

If you've already purchased my instructions I will send you the additional pages asap.

Currently I have 3 completed  and if you look on the left side bar of my Chic' n Scratch Shack you'll see the links to the Hippo, Lion & Ladybug Instructions.  I'll continue to add the rest of the Instructions there because that option will remain open for a while (options 2 through 4 are limited).  Plus that's where I'll post future instructions when they're available.

Make sure you check out Option #3. If you purchase the Instructions you can add on the animal pieces.

 

Animal Punch Pages -Option #2 - Ten Completed Punch Pages

With this option you will get 10 pages with 10 animals & their parts (It will look just like my punch page) for $25.  The only thing missing from the page will be the writing and I'll provide you with a picture to complete it (it will be sent as a pdf file).

  

The list of animals include:  Hippo, Lion, Ladybug, Horse, Alligator, Bear & Reindeer.  The final three will be chosen soon!

I'll start taking orders now and will start shipping the 2nd week of June (could be earlier).

Please read the Fine Print before you purchase.

Fine Print: The pages do not include an album or page protectors. You have a few choices, you can check out my "Gotta have it all Kit" or you can order the album (we sell the albums in our Stampin' Up! catalog).  The album is the 6 x 6 Linen 3 Ring.   Please check all four options before you purchase.

 

Animal Punches - Option #3 - Animal Parts

This option is only available if you're purchased the instructions listed in Option #1.  The animal pieces can be purchased for $2 each.  If you purchase the Hippo instructions you can purchase the Hippo parts, please do not mix and match, that option is not available.

If you've already purchased the instructions (last week) you're welcome to order them.

They'll be shipped 1st class mail and you can expect shipment fairly quickly.

1.  Hippo  

2.  Lion   

3.  Ladybug  

4.  Bear   

5.  Reindeer 

The rest of them will be posted soon....my goal is to get more added on Saturday

 

Animal Punch Pages Kit - Option #4 - "Gotta have it all Kit"

This kit includes everything you need to complete your own album for $50.  (except the glue & the black marker....you have those right?)

Here's what comes in your kit: A 6 x 6 Linen Album - color of your choice, 10 Pages, 10 animal packets & all 10 instructions (each animal has 4 pages and will be sent as a pdf file). Animal list includes:  Hippo, Lion, Bear, Ladybug, Alligator, Reindeer & Horse (the final three will be revealed next week).

I'll start taking orders now and once I receive all the orders I will place my order with Stampin' Up! for the albums. Your deadline to order this kit is June 10th.  (If I get a huge response I may open it up for another round in June or July.)

Special note:  As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator we are not allowed to cash & carry items.  That means I will collect the orders & then place my order with Stampin' Up!  Shipment of this kit should be around the June 20th(could be a little sooner depending on shipping from Stampin' Up!).

If you have any questions, please send an email to angie@chicstand.com.

Thanks!

Alligator Punch

Check back on Wednesday for more details on my Alligator Punch Page.... and lots more :)

 I'm using my Sprint card to update you just in case you've tried to call or email.  Downline & my dear customers..... if you have a question  that you need an answser right away, email my personal account at angiejuda@aol.com.  Otherwise I'll update again around 3pm (if all goes well...pray that it does!!)

Teddy Bear is ready :)

Hi,  the video is ready for the Bear. Click here if you'd like to go watch it on my Stampin' Academy.

Good night!

Punch Book??

Quick question...I've heard from so many of you that you're interested in my purchasing my Punch Book.  But I need your help.....here are some of my concerns.

1.  My book has 5 pages completed but I have three more that are almost done for a total of 8 animals.

2.  Are you interested in buying the completed pages or the supplies to make your own?

3.  Are you wanting all 8 pages now or how about we start a Punch Club?   Any ideas?  Do you want to make just the animals or is the pages you want? Do you want me to make the pages or do you want the kit?  

4.  How much to charge?  This one bothers me the most because punching all those pieces are very time consuming and to be honest they hurt my hands after a while.  I have a lady that I can pay to help me (the key word being "pay") so I would need to come up with a fee that's reasonable for all of us.

So, what you are thoughts?  I usually make all the decisions about my kits but I really need help with this one.  Instead of posting comments here, please send an email to MYCHICNSCRATCH@AOL.COM.  On Tuesday I will draw a name for something free (does that drive you crazy not knowing what it is?).  In the past I've taken the responses from all my emails but this time I'll draw the name only from the email mychicnscratch@aol.com.   Thanks!!

 p.s.  This is not the Blog candy I spoke of......that's around the corner.
