Punched Posies Card of the Week #9

Good morning,

I have to start out by saying I love this card!!  I used the Punches Posies stamp set to make it.  It's the latest Level two hostess set in the Summer Mini Catalog and it's actually going to be the stamp set I'm giving away in June.  I have two of them and I'll draw one name on June 15th and the last one after July 1st. 

I've already made a video, click here if you'd like to see how this card is made.  See picture below to see how I use the Word Window punch for the greeting....photographing it wasn't easy.....they always look so much better in person!! 

Please remember that the Retired Stamps List will be available in the morning (June 1st) and the Retired Accessories List ..... also known as the Last Chance List.   I will post the links as quick as possible but I'm going to be away from my office today.  I'll have access to email and will check it as often as possible if you have questions.  My email is mychicnscratch@me.com.

If I can't get the list loaded on my blog, be sure to look on my Stampin' Up! site at http://www.angiejuda.stampinup.net for both the retired stamps and retired accessories.  Also...don't forget the accessories are while supplies last!!

And last but not least, if you'd like to join my team and become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator .......there will details available for a Mini Starter Kit (also available on my Stampin' Up! site June 1st).

Have a great day!!

Medallion card video

Good morning,

I just filmed the Medallion card video.  I'll edit it real fast and get it loaded.   I'll post again when it's available.

Thanks!

p.s. I registered for Convention this morning :)

Last but not least

Good morning!  I'm happy to report my headache is gone but now I feel like I'm in a fog.  I call it my headache hangover (is there another word for it?) I don't have the headache but I'm incredibly tired and fuzzy (does that make sense?).

I'm just thankful the headache is gone!!

My project today is the last card in my Card Kit #1.  This card uses one of the colors that's retiring soon...... Taken with Teal with the Sweet Pea Designer Paper.  Click here if you'd like more info on my Card Kit.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

Medallion Card for kit

My card today was made with the Medallion stamp and the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.  It's the 2nd card in my Card Kit #1 and over the weekend I'll film a video on to make it using the Stampin' Pastels with VersaMark.  

Thanks for stopping by!

p.s. I'm about to tackle my email box!!

Trendy Trees

Good morning,

My card today is one of the cards in my brand new card kit.  I've been planning this kit for the past couple weeks & once I heard that the Trendy Trees stamp set was on sale I thought it would be the perfect time!!   Click here for all the details on my Card Kit #1. And click here for more details on the stamp sets on sale this month.

Have a great day!

• Stamped images are not included.
• Envelopes are included.
• Instructions are sent electronically in a pdf file.
• Cost is $14.95 plus shipping (please make sure you pay the $4.95 shipping fee). If you order more than one kit, you only need to pay shipping once. (I know a few of you order them together and that's okay with me.)
• Kits are shipped Priority Mail and will start shipping as early as Monday, April 12th.
• Kits are while supplies last (Taken with Teal is a retiring color).
• Only three stamp sets were used to create these cards...Trendy Trees (on sale this month), Medallion & Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Stamp a Stack card

My next Stamp a Stack card is one of my favorites & it's not my creation :)
One of the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is we get to swap cards with each other ........either at team meetings, convention, leadership or regional meetings.

 I was lucky enough to receive this super cute card from Corinne &  I loved it so much I sent her an email and ask her if I could use it for my Stamp a Stack.  She's such a sweetheart & she said yes (thanks Roxy!!).

The two stamp sets are Fox & Friends & Well Scripted, both are found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.   She also used the Sweet Pea Designer Paper & the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder.

Thanks for joining me!!

Sweetheart Stamp Set

My card today is a little rough around the edges...don't look too closely. Do you ever have days that no matter what you do.... you can't get it right?  I decided to take my own advice and move on :)

I used the Sweetheart stamp set with the Heart Treat Cups & the colors I used were Old Olive & Melon Mambo.
I stamped the greeting & then punched it out with the Full Heart Punch, then I layered it on a heart I punched with the Movers & Shapers Punch Windows.  This time I used the adhesive on the back of the Heart Treat Cup :)

The edge of the Old Olive cardstock was made with the New Pinking Hearts Border Punch that can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Supply List:

• Sweet Heart Stamp set #120415 Wood #120780 Clear
• Heart Treat Cups #120435
• Full Heart Punch #113693
• Movers & Shapers Punch Windows #115953
• Pinking Heart Border Punch #117649
• Old Olive Ink & Cardstock #102277 & #100702
• Melon Mambo Ink & Cardstock #115656 & #115320
• Whisper White Cardstock #100730
• Stampin' Dimensionals #104430

I've had a few questions asked about Vintage Labels card kit so here's the scoop.......The cards are 4 1/4 x 4 1/4.  I use medium white envelopes for that size (don't you agree..once they take out the card....they won't notice the envelope was a tad big?). The instructions are sent electronically through email.  Here's a picture of the packaging. 

Thanks!!

Shoebox Swap card

Good afternoon,

Today I'm sharing another swap card that I took to Convention.  It's also one of the  cards in my August Card Kit.  Click here if you'd like to register for my August Card Class or order the kit.

I used The More the Merrier Stamp set (Level three hostess set on page 17) and the greeting is from the Punch Pals stamp set.  I colored the snowmen with the Blender Pens & re-inkers and applied Dazzling Diamonds Glitter with a 2 Way Glue.  (I'll film a video and load is asap).  If you'd like to watch my video on how to make this card, click here.

Now I'll post some more Convention Photos....the first one is of Sam & I ........she's my SAM and I just love her!!

The next photo is my name on the big screen for being in 1st Place for Senior Associate Promotions.  

The following picture is the Top Ten Demonstrators.  (Sorry my picture doesn't include the top demo, once we were all in place the cameras were in front and blocking the view.)  If anyone has any photos of me and want to send them my way, please feel free to do so. (I'm not the easiest person to photograph!)

The next picture is important to me!! My goal for 2009 was to earn Founders Circle and I did it!  I've had so many people ask me what advice can I offer.  Probably the biggest thing is to set goals.  I believe it gives you direction and keeps you focused on what you want.....not what everyone else wants......does that make sense? 

In 2007 my goals were to have regular attendance at my events and to get more comments on my blog.

Thanks for stopping by!!

p.s. I posted the video for the Halloween Hoot card on my Chic n Scratch Live! website if you'd like to go watch it.

Leftover kits available

A few months back I mentioned that I was going to start selling some of my extra stuff (extra kits and product).   I'll warn you...... it will be random.  As I come across these things I will post them and it will be while supplies last.  I'm determined to get re-organized and stop holding on to everything (I can always find a reason to keep them in my possession).

The first two items are more recent & much like Scrapbooking I decided to start current and then work my way back (plus I need to dig through all my boxes).

I have 6 June Card Class kits available. 

Each kit will include all the supplies you need to complete six cards.  Two each of three designs & the envelopes are included.  You'll also receive a PDF file with typed instructions. The cost is $15 and it will ship 1st class (if you want to pay extra for priority shipping send me an email and I'll send you an invoice for the shipping).

1pm update:  June Card Kits & the Tea Party Top Note bag are sold out.  Thanks a bunch!!  (I have lots of other kits and as soon as I can get it organized I'll post them.)

The next item I have it the Tea Party Top Note bag kit.  I have 10 kits available and each kit is $4.95 and will include all the supplies you need and a pdf file with typed instructions.  These kits will also ship 1st class mail and  when I'm sold out I'll remove the "add to cart" button.

Have a great day!

p.s. As always stamped images are not included in my kits but I'd be happy to help you chose a different stamp set that you own.

Google Reader & Washing Machine

Before I start my pity party ......I'll tell you the good news first.  I loaded a new video today and it's a video of my May Card Class and it's posted on my Stampin' Academy.  Click hereif you'd like to watch it.  Or click hereif you'd like to purchase the kit or read the details for my May Card Class.

I filmed a couple videos today and they are edited  & almost ready to go. I just need to load them on You Tube.  As soon as I get at least one loaded I'll post my project tomorrow (Wednesday).

Now to the not so fun stuff......Google Reader can go first.  Updates are not working :)  Can I just say I'd like to fall to the floor & cry (that would be a funny video!!)  I spent maybe three hours trying to figure out what happened.  All I can tell you is the updates stopped on April 2nd.  But, the good news is....if you add my website to your Google Reader now, it will update you from this point forward.  If you don't know what Google Reader is and you want me to explain it to you please feel free to call or email me (angie@chicstand.com).  If you use Feedburner, you don't need Google Reader....so if you're happy with Feedburner don't change anything!  If you would like to add Google Reader, there is a little button on the left side of this blog & when you click on it you'll have a choice of how you want to subscribe (click on google reader when you get there). 

When it rains it pours...my washing machine is still not working.....yes, it's been over a week.  I'll stop there because you know what that means for a family of four.  Can I just say "what was I thinking loading the bathtub and washing a load by hand". 

Thanks for stopping by....See ya later :) 

June Card Class

 Hi, my card today is the format we'll use for my June Card Class or Kit.  (I'm trying to do a better job of planning ahead.)  I've already posted the details on my Stampin' Up! website and this weekend I'll post more details on my Chic n Scratch Shack. 

I used the Doodle This stamp set with Black Stazon ink and I stamped it on Shimmery White cardstock.  I colored the image with the Aqua Painter with Celery, Barely Banana & Lavender Lace ink.

The "happy birthday" greeting can be found in the Family Phrases stamp set.  The Designer paper is Tea Party, the ribbon is Vanilla Grosgrain.

Thanks for joining me!

p.s. I'd be happy to film a video for the Post it Notes I posted yesterday. I'll work on that Friday or Saturday.  My video setup was taken down so I could re arrange my room last weekend and I need to put it back up.....but I'm really hoping the washer dude shows up to repair my washer.....otherwise I'm headed to the laundry mat :(  I'm also filming a video for my May Card Class (it will include how it's packaged and what you'll need).

Click here to place a Stampin' Up! order. 

Thank you!

Thanks for all your help regarding the color of my blog side bars!!   I'm still in shock that most people see it as green.  My laptop shows it light blue (a pretty blue).  It may be Internet explore ...I'm not sure :)  Maybe that's why some people had trouble viewing my blog when it was black....all the monitors are different.

Congrats Nikki Harris!!! You won the Chic Stand :)  Please send an email to angie@chicstand.com and give me your mailing address.

One more note on my Card Class/Card kit.  Everything is included that you need to make the cards....except the stamped images and adhesive.  And a PDF file will be email with a photo & instructions.

Have a great night...see ya tomorrow!   (next post.... will be late Tuesday)

p.s. I'm in the process of making some changes....I like to call it Spring Cleaning.  The list of changes includes, Customer Appreciation, Stamp Club, My Blog, My photo software.....re arrange my office (the list will scare you). I had to move my office around this weekend...I felt that the setup was making me less creative...trust me...the flow wasn't working ...it doesn't look as pretty now...but it's functional :)

Card Class Details

Hi,  I've received several emails regarding my card class & the answer is Yes ..... I'm showing all the cards for my kits.

Here's the cards...remember all six cards are the same format.  But a different stamp can be used with them.  At my Card Class (May 15th)  I plan on having all the stamps out that will fit in the circle and let everyone pick what they'd like. 

Here's the picture of the 3rd card (already shown).  You'll make 2 cards of each of these.  Click here for the details on my May Card Class or Kit.

May Birthday Card Club/Kit

Good morning!

I love this card....and the next one too!  I know they are both simple, but there's just something about them that makes me happy :)  I liked them so much I made them in another color.  I'm going to show you the next card and then I need your help.

 

I couldn't decide which I liked best....and I couldn't decide which color I liked best (do you have those kind of days?). The cards use the same supplies, I just turned it around...... And they both fit in a regular medium envelope.

So, I  need your help.  Please let me know which color you like best.  Anyone can vote.....& especially the girls that have pre-ordered. Then tomorrow, I'll add the Kit to my Chic n' Scratch Shack and take more orders.  If the decision is split down the middle, I'll let everyone choose which color they would like, does that sound okay?

  If you've emailed me lately and the email has been returned, please try again.  I'm having email trouble again and I have a friend coming over next week to help me set up a new email account.  I'll keep my Chicnscratchmail@aol.com but I'm going to add a couple more.  Thanks so much for your patience!!! 

Thanks for checking in.....have a great day!

p.s.  lately I've had several friends help me out... almost daily and today one of them said she would be happy to become one of Angie's Angels.  Isn't that sooo cute?  I love it!  My helpers have a name...and they truly are Angels.  You know who you are, don't ya? I don't know what I'd do without you!

Stamps:  For a Friend (Level One hostess set)

Ink:Black Stazon & Bashful Blue or Blue Bayou & YoYo Yellow or Barely Banana

Cardstock:  Bashful Blue or Wild Wasabi, Celery or Blue Bayou &  Whisper White

Other:  Bashful Blue Striped Ribbon or Blue Bayou Double Stitched Ribbon & Medium White Envelopes

Oops......almost forgot, today is the last day of the Wheel Special. If you need more information, please let me know :)

April Card Kits

Good morning!!

I'm very excited to be offering my monthly card kits again!!  Especially because I've created an easier way to do them.  I've posted all the details on my Chic n' Scratch Shack.  Click here to head over there now!

You'll be excited to hear that I've also designed a male version too, would you believe I think I like it even better? (Probably because it has River Rock & Old Olive.)

If you've purchased the April Birthday Card Club/Kit....they are packaged and headed to the post office this morning.  Thanks again!!

Have a great Day! 

p.s. Dave is on his first Fishing tournament of the year .....I hope he does well......but you know how much rain Missouri had a week ago... let's hope the fish are biting!!!
