Snowman Card from Open House

Thanks to everyone who came out for my Open House last evening. It was so much fun! Here's the holiday card that guests made. It uses the Big Shot polka dot texture plate, the snowmen (love these guys!!) from the level 2 hostess set (The More the Merrier), the new In Colour Markers and Polka Dot Ribbon. This is a great card for a winter birthday, a Christmas greeting, a thank you note or just about anything. Stay tuned for details about upcoming holiday card making classes so you can make some cute cards like this one.

Ribbon Sampler

Stampin' Up! has some wonderful ribbons to use on your projects. I am offering a ribbon sampler for the In Colour Polka Dot ribbons. These are neat as they are polka dotted on one side and solid on the other. For $23, you will get three yards of each of the 6 new In Colours. Shown here are Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay. Check out my next post to see the Bermuda Bay used on a holiday card. Email me or post a comment with your contact information if you'd like to sign up. 

Deal of the Week - Week #3

This week's Deal of the Week is Square Fire Rhinestone Brads for $10.99 (regular price $15.95). I will be placing an order on Sunday so call or email me if you'd like me to order these for you!! They definitely add "bling" to your cards and pages. 

Wrapping Paper

So it's my nephews birthday and I need to mail off his gift....but alas no wrapping paper in the house suitable for a 6 year old boy. No worries, Pete and I made some. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed stamping trains and fruit. This is a great project for all ages and what fun to receive personalized paper on your gifts!! Happy Birthday Ewan.

Deal of the Week

Good Morning! The deal of the week is the Doctor's Bag for the Big Shot which is on sale for $72.99. Since I'm not thrilled with this deal, I am offering my own deal. Stock up on classic ink pads at the sale price of $6.95 which is a $1 savings. Call or email me with your order by Friday at noon to take advantage of this great price.

New In Colours

Here are the cards I made using the new In Colours and Circle Circus stamp set. I gave a set to each of the boys' teachers who absolutely loved them. The colours are Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede. These cards are quick to put together and I just love how all the circles fit into SU punches. If you come to my Open House, you will get to make one and see how simple and fun this card is to make. 

Pick a Petal Card

Here's another quick card using Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry. The stamp set is Pick A Petal which I haven't used in a while. I am trying to use some of those sets that I fell in love with and bought ages ago but tend to get pushed back when the new things arrive! The Heard From the Heart sayings are perfect to fill the space at the bottom of the card. I hope your day is wonderful. Happy 4th to those celebrating today!!

Parkinson's Fundraiser Crop

I am holding an all day crop on Saturday, August 22nd to benefit the Parkinson's Superwalk. This will be held at the Lion's Community Centre on Castlefrank Road. The cost is $15 which all be donated to the walk as the hall space is being donated by my awesome Mom!! Bring your own lunch as there is a full kitchen (or we can order some pizza) and I will provide water and munchies for during the day. The event will run from 9am-4pm. I will bring my Big Shot and if there are any stamps you'd like to use that day, please let me know. Please RSVP by August 10th. 

OPEN HOUSE

Pop over on July 17th between 7-9pm and see the new In Colours, make two cards and enjoy browsing through the new catalogue. This is a free event and you are welcome to bring a guest. There will be a retired stamp sale, door prizes and munchies. Please RSVP by July 6th if you plan to attend. 

Let's try this again!

Hello! 

Ok, so Stampin' Up! has a brand new catalogue and thus another year begins. Part of this new beginning is me, yet again, trying to get this blog up. I am still learning so bear with me. I do hope to post weekly so you can see what I am working on. Eventually there may even be some video demos but first I need to work on posting photos!!
