It's Online Extravaganza Time

It's almost time for Stampin' Up!'s Online Extravaganza!  It's a sale that happens only once a year and you can save up to 50% off select items.  There are also two 24-hour flash sales for specific products that will happen during this promotion:  one on November 23rd and one on November 30th!

The surest way to get the items you want at the sale price is to place an online order, however you can still contact me via telephone, email or text to order.  Click the link above or the one here to view items in the sale.

All Good Things....

It seems like all good things come to an end at some point.  For the 2015 Holiday Catalog, that time is quickly approaching!  Stampin' Up! has posted the retiring list for the Holiday Catalog.  You can view the PDF here.  All items on the retired list are available while supplies last or through January 4th.  Stamps will be available here in the United States until a week before (December 28th) and while supplies last after that.

Let me know if there is something you don't want to miss out on before it's gone!  The quickest way is to always place an online order, but I'm happy to help place the order for you if you'd rather.

Happy Stamping!

A Wonderful Night of Stamping!

Last night I had the awesome priviledge of sharing my love of rubber stamping and paper crafting with a group of ladies.  With the Christmas season fast approaching, I focused on gift packaging.  While the projects that I shared were Christmas themed, they could just as easily be adapted for any occasion.

I demonstrated this fast (really it does go together fairly quickly) gift bag.  The idea was demonstrated on stage at the Stampin' Up! Convention back in July of this year.  I modified the idea by making a poinsettia flower embellishment using the Festive Flower Builder punch and coordinating stamp set, Reason for the Season.

The make & take that everyone made was this cute little gift bag that uses the Petite Cafe bags, some designer series paper banners, a quick tag and some Thick Baker's Twine trim.  The bags are food safe, so anything from small cookies and other treats, to even non-food items are packaged quickly and beautifully too!

Retired Stamps & Accessories for sale

I've finally gotten through all the retired stamp sets and accessories that I no longer wish to keep.  So, I'm offering them to the first ones who claim them at great prices!  Sorry no photos, they are all fairly recent so get out those catalogs.  Prices do not include shipping.  If the item needs to be shipped to you, I'll ship via USPS Priority flat-rate boxes (smallest to fit the items).

Check them all out here.

If you live nearby, I can arrange to deliver the items to you.  I prefer PayPal for payment.

Thanks for looking.

Thankful Forest Friends Club Fun

This past month, I shared the Thankful Forest Friends stamp set with stamp club.  When this set was first introduced at Stampin' Up! Convention this July, I fell in love with the bear in the set.  He is just so adorable!

Here are the projects we made:

Thanks for my downline, Jen Wade for this great card idea.  Only thing added was the Into the Woods Elements.

You always can use a good birthday card, right?

Thanks for stopping by.  All products can be purchased through my online store.

September Class Projects

I think I say this all the time, but life gets kinda crazy!  Although I've been in my craft room often, mostly to try to put something together for a class, I haven't been very good at showing all of you what those creative projects are!  

Here are the projects made at the September Stampin' Escape Class.  I focus on one stamp set and 3 projects are made from it so that you have at least 3 different ideas.

This gift card holder uses the wonderful Mini Treat Bag Thinlits.  You could just as easily add a couple Ghirardelli chocolates on the pull-out and make it a treat bag.

I love the simplicity of silver and white for winter and Christmas cards.  A little silver embossing powder and a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels give just the right "pop".

Finally, I just fell in love with this card when I first saw it.  It's CASED from fellow demonstrator, Michelle Pollard.  The TIEF was inked up before the card stock was placed into it to give the colored background.  Black birds and peeking eyes were stamped onto it next.  Quick and easy!

Happy stamping!  Thanks for stopping by.
