Sunday Share - Our Kits Collection Make Great Road Trip Partners!

Happy Long Weekend – wherever you are I hope you are enjoying some good weather and time with family and/or friends – relaxing and recharging your way!! We are taking it easy and getting together with friends and family a couple of times for BBQ on the deck or eating out - a nice way to relax in our sunny weather.  Here’s some happy long weekend news for you!

For the entire month of August you can save up to 30% on amazing kits from the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! What are you waiting for? Start shopping and crafting now LOL! 

Follow the link in the picture above to choose your kits.  They are perfect for on the go projects and you will make enough cards that you won’t need to hit the $$$ stores anytime soon for those last minute needs.   This is a limited time offer you won’t want to miss.

Sales Period: August 1 -31st. The sale only applies to the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! (it does not include Paper Pumpkin kits).

Here’s a couple of the benefits of our kits (besides those awesome Kits Sale prices in August):

“I don’t have space for a lot of stuff!” Here’s the thing - kits are fun, quick and easy, and all-inclusive so there’s nothing extra to buy and nothing to store afterward.

“I’m not crafty” – well guess what?? After you try one of our kits, you’ll be singing a different tune!  Completing one of our kits for the first time will give you a real sense of artistic accomplishment – and if it’s not your first kit then you KNOW it’s going to be fun and fabulous!

“I’ve got nothing to do”.  Kids love the sense of accomplishment from creating their own cards and when they give them to a friend and can proudly say “I made this” there will be smiles all around!

"I need a hostess gift in a hurry!"  Completed kits make great gifts. You can make the projects and then gift them for someone else to use. Because kits come in so many styles and project types, there’s something for everyone. I’ve got a couple on the go right now that I make for my grandkids to use - usually we make them together but with moving and settling into our new place, we haven't done our normal travelling. .

Need more ideas – check out my store here and Facebook page too or message me for help with your project! Remember when you order online to use my current Host Code K6ZDA4MD when your order is under $200 to get in my month end draws – you never know when you could be the next winner! July’s winners of a package of Thick Basic White Cardstock each were April and Mary 😉. 

And if you earned Bonus Days Coupons in July then you can spend them anytime in August - don't let them expire!! They are easy to add to your order - cut and paste from your email to your order where it says "Manage Coupons".  

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Experience Creativity with Magnolia Lane Cards

This week I'm highlighting the Magnolia Lane Cards featured in the Experience Creativity Brochure. These items are not in the Annual Catalogue but you can browse the brochure from your chair by clicking on the link on my sidebar - I really encourage you to check this out because if you don't want or need a lot of products to create cards, then this is the answer!

The cover features the Magnolia Blooms Stamps and card bases and it couldn't be easier to get started creating than using this group of products!

These are some of the cards you can make using the stamps and card bases - I made some this weekend so I have them ready when I need a card "right now". Why not get started and order yours now? Use my online store by clicking on this link and your order will soon be on it's way!

Here's a quick video showcasing the products to give you an idea how easy it is to create your own cards at home  . . .  and your stamps, inks and block included in the package are ready for you to choose you own cardstock and papers next time you sit down!

Sunday Share - It's a Real Hoot!!

It's time for another look at our Experiencing Creativity Brochure - and this time I'm highlighting the exclusive Hoot Hoot Hooray Stamp Set on p 12. It's a stamp set made for many occasions so you always have a card ready to send. And there are so many fun images to colour with your choice of colouring tools and Stampin' Up! has so many choices for you!

This is the "Everything You Need" look from the brochure - and you can get it all by entering only one number #152871 or pick and choose the items that are right for you! Watercolour pencils are one of my favourites because you have so much control over how light or dark you want your art piece to be - and you can give them the "watercolour" look by using an Aqua Painter Brush or a Blender Pen - suddenly you are an artist!!

Here's some fun ideas to do with your stamps so you can make quick and easy cards that your family and friends are sure to appreciate and save for years!!

Want to step it up a bit? If you have some crafting supplies at home like a circle punch, this is a quick way to add some depth to your projects and it is almost as quick as doing the stamping on a single piece of cardstock . . . punch out your circle and place it on top of your note card front. Stamp your image, lift off the circle and colour the image as you want. Once you've done your colouring "pop" the circle back on your card front with Dimensionals and you've just taken your card making to a whole new level!! If you don't have a punch - well guess what? Stampin' Up! does and you can get that too!!  Don't forget to stamp a little something on the envelope too!

There's only a couple of weeks left to get in on the EXTRA EXTRA bonus for joining my team - if you like saving money then get the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit and start saving 20% on all your purchases! It's a great way to try it out and you can pick ANYTHING in the current catalogue and even shop for your kit items in the soon to be live Holiday catalogue (demonstrators can pre-order in August so they can share ideas with customers starting September 4th).

Do the math and you will see this is a great bargain = pay $135 and get $205 (that's $40 more than usual) in your choice of products (plus free business forms and catalogues) and pay no shipping or taxes on your kit. Then you get a bonus $14.00 coupon to use any time on an order before October 31st. Super deal!!  Call or message me to get started on your kit and you'l be on your way or use this link and go for it!!

Want to shop now - then go to my website (link here) and get started on your wish list!! And check out the clearance rack section too - always great deals on retired products!

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Experiencing Creativity YOUR WAY!!

Do you sometimes look at the amazing cards and scrapbook layouts on peoples' blogs or on Pinterest and get discouraged because you don't have the supplies or don't know how to replicate the idea??  Me too,  but that's where we need to stop, breathe and tell ourselves that we can be creative "OUR WAY"! 

There's a new brochure on my blog side bar called Experience Creativity and while it was originally designed to give new stampers and crafters an introduction to stamping, more experienced crafters are jumping at the chance to create some great cards and projects using the kits or products displayed and try some of the less complicated ideas for themselves! After all, its's no fun struggling to make something because you don't have lots of time, or think you don't have just the "right" products.

Today I'm showing off this Happy Birthday card right from the "Looking Up Card Kit" kit - super easy and super fun. There are lots of greetings so you won't have a problem picking which one you want for the occasion - and the kit comes complete with everything you need to make 15 cards - including detailed instructions, card bases, coordinating and fun envelopes, stamps, ink, a clear block to put your stamp on, as well as Mini Glue Dots/Dimensionals to put your cards together.

Here's a quick video that Stampin' Up! put together for you to see how easy it is to make the cards in this kit - ready to purchase? Then click this link and your order will soon be on it's way! All online orders receive a thank you from me at the end of each month so don't wait to place your order now!

If you'd like to get a kit in the mail each month, then try our all inclusive Paper Pumpkin Kits - they are a fabulous way of getting a surprise box to create something special each month - and there are Facebook groups to give you alternate ideas if the kit contents aren't something you'd normally make as well as a monthly email from Paper Pumpkin with more ideas!

You can order your Paper Pumpkin kits here and see how much fun they are! Great for traveling, summer fun with the kids, or a special time creating with visiting grandkids . . .  if you tried Paper Pumpkin kits years ago, then do try again as they are so much better than the original ones from years back :-) And now you get sneak peeks of what's coming each month so if you are going away, or it's just not your style you can suspend for that month and then get the next one!

If you don't want to shop online (my website link) then call or message me to get started on your kit choices today or anything else on your wish list - you'll be so glad you did!

Happy stamping!
