I have too, and this kit - ON SALE this week only - is the perfect time and reason to get together and have some fun . .  . and go home with this cute tin featured on the cover of our annual catalogue filled with cards for your  family and friends!!

 

Order the kit NOW through me (deadline to order is 6:00 pm Monday March 7th so I can catch the sale price) and that will reserve your spot in my craft studio . .  . and we will work on a couple of dates for you to come and get the kit done - a daytime, weekend or evening date - we'll make it work for YOU!

Make it Monday Fun #imbringingbirthdaysback

Hi everyone - I love that one of our Stampin' Up! home office favourite people Shannon started a campaign called "I'm Bringing Birthdays Back"! She has got so many people excited about making and sending cards - and that will make so many people happy!

It's so much fun to make a card, and give it or mail it to a friend, neighbour or family member and know they will love getting "real mail" and that you took the time to make a card - just for them!

The end result as a commercial tells us is "Priceless" and you can be ready for any birthday or other event by joining me on the 3rd Monday of each month (except summer time) when we will make a couple of cards to add to your birthday box - or you can change the greeting and use the card for any other occasion.

I even have one spot available in my current Stamp Club if you would like to meet a great group of ladies on a monthly basis! Send me an email for more information and I'll let you know all about the club - it is so much fun. It is on the 2nd Thursday of each month from 7:00 - 9:00 pm or the morning after from 10:-00 am to noon. And you get to be the hostess (earn free stuff!) once during each session. Your only commitment is to come to one of the time slots and spend $25.00 minimum for the 7 remaining sessions.

Stampin' Up! has kits that you can use to make cards so you don't need a ton of supplies, or you can buy products a little at a time as your budget allows. Take a look at all the products in my on-line store - here's the link or it's on my blog sidebar too!

Here's the cards we made this month at Make it Monday and I hope you can join me next month - always a fun time and who knows, you may meet a new friend too! You will always enjoy visiting with other crafters as they make their cards and share their stories too. Oh, and did I mention the coffee and treats???

 





 

If you love kits, and making something when you have some spare time or with your kids (or grandkids) then maybe Paper Pumpkin kits are just the thing . . . . this month's kit is such a super value - I've already bought the refill to make more! The kits are perfect to take travelling, include all products you need to make the kit items and are always a surprise and a great value. They are also ON SALE until March 31st as part of Sale-a-Bration so what are you waiting for? And you instantly qualify for a FREE item in the Sale-a-Bration flyer (check out my sidebar for details)

Happy stamping and I hope to see you soon at one of my events!

Launch Party was a blast - couldn't come and want to get your wish list filled?

The party may be officially over, but you can still order products on your wish list! Call, email or message me to get included in my order going in tomorrow afternoon. Please have your order in to me by 2:00 pm to get included in this order - and a special thanks to everyone who did attend. I asked Juanita (who shared some demo time with me over the past three days) to draw a name from all the attendees and the name she drew was April L!

Congratulations April - you won this fun Paper Pumpkin kit from December - I know it will look great on your crafting desk and you will have fun making it too!

 

 



Here's a look at the fun card we had for everyone to do as a Make and Take from the new Occasions catalogue -  we did the card in the middle and used the Party Wishes Stamp Set and Party Punch Pack bundle - so cute and so quick - stamp, punch and attach - DONE! You may not be able to see the glimmer but we used the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (clear) on the cupcakes - it really is the "icing on the cake". The other two cards came from the same stamp set - there is never only one way to use these stamps and punches - enjoy exploring ideas using your imagination and see what you come up with too!

If you want to make cards like this, let me know and we can arrange a date and time for you to create - with friends or at one of my events :-) and at my studio - anytime it is not booked. And please come to one of my Make it Monday sessions on the 3rd Monday of each month except July and August - drop in for the evening from 7:00 - 9:00 pm and make a couple of clean and simple cards to add to your box for any occasion - no supplies needed, but please let me know you are coming so I have enough kits prepared!

And if you would like Paper Pumpkin delivered to your door - let me know - it's on sale until March 31st for a 3 month subscription, and you instantly get a FREE Sale-a-Bration item too! I'll be happy to add it to any order for you which will save you shipping on the free item - gotta' love that . . .

 



Check out Paper Pumpkin using this link - or the other products we used over the past few days on my website here. And if you couldn't make it, and want to have a catalogue - let me know and I will get it to you! Delivery for local requests, and by mail for out of town.

 

Happy Stampin'

Time to get ready for all those birthdays or special occasions!

Happy New Year to you . . . .  and if you are anything like me, once you turned the calendar to the new year, you realized that there is a whole lot of birthdays coming up, not to mention some anniversaries, grads, and maybe even some new babies??

Good thing we have some wonderful ideas to share with you - and they all come from our new Occasions Catalogue and the wonderful companion Sale-a-Bration flyer (it has no prices because every item is FREE with your qualifying purchase!!!).  Click on the links on my sidebar for more details and come to any of my events this month to get your own catalogue/flyer.

Here's a couple of sneak peeks at cards made with some of the amazing new products that you will put on your list right away! I made the cards at a team meeting last weekend where we got to play with other demonstrators and learn "what's new" - so much fun! And I have my first order here so you can see, touch and play too! My favourite new item for quick glam and glimmer is the Wink of Stella pen/brush that comes in clear or gold - I sure hope that Stampin' Up! gets more colours - love them and what they do for a card!

I belong to a swap group that exchanges cards monthly and for January we had to make a card using one or more of the new products - how many can you find in these samples below?? Can't wait to show them to you in person :-)

Some great new 3-D dies, and love that pop-up card in a box and it folds flat for easy mailing!

Drop in to my Make it Monday January 18th (tomorrow night) from 7 - 9 pm - but please let me know you are coming so I can have the coffee/tea on and your kits ready for you to do! This is a once a month evening on the 3rd Monday each month - check it out and you will go home with more cards for your card box - big happy face!!

The new Occasions Catalogue is all about parties and making projects to celebrate the fun events in your lives - and there are so many ways to do that - from quick and easy kits, to punches and matching stamps, framelits that literally POP and much more . . . .  and with every purchase of $60 you pick any item FREE from the Sale-a-Bration flyer (January 5 to March 31st).

Have you been thinking about getting a Big Shot? How about getting a Big Shot and picking two items for free? That was EASY!! Or look at the flyer for some other purchase combo ideas - but letting you know that you can choose any items to buy in any catalogue, and pick any FREE item from the flyer for each $60 you spend.

Mark your calendars for the party times coming in less than two weeks - I will be sharing the event on Friday with Juanita who many of you know as a fellow demo, and both of us will have catalogues, samples and ideas on display as well as make-n-takes for you to do and take home:

Thursday, January 28 from 7 - 9 pm
Friday, January 29 from 1 - 4 pm
Saturday, January 30 from 1 - 4 pm

Can't wait to see you soon and share the excitement and fun of creating with the new products - and just because we are showing off our new spring catalogue, that does not mean we are forgetting our fabulous Annual Catalogue either - it still has so many wonderful products and tools to help you get your crafting done well. I do have a few of the annual catalogues left so if you don't have one, remember to ask when you come to any event!

Christmas is Coming! Are you ready??

Oh My Goodness - my countdown calendar says 15 days to Christmas - so time is going fast! And I've got two things to help you with your to-do list!!

FIRST - I'm sharing some last minute cards I have made in the past few days in case you need some quick ideas to finish off your cards for family, friend, co-workers and everyone else on your "I've been good this year" list! Like the ideas??  - then make them smaller for gift cards or tags if you don't need full size cards!

The first three cards "happened" because I am trying to use up my Designer Series papers (so I can buy more next year, of course!), along with that fabulous Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon in the Holiday Catalogue.  And check out that cute reindeer clip with the enamel dot for his nose - so much fun!

The "Rudolph" card I saw on Pinterest and knew I had to adapt it and use those antlers that came in the Wonderland Stamp Set - they are so cute!! Did you know you can colour our Rhinestones with a Sharpie marker or alcohol markers? So easy to get just the right colour - of course I used Real Red for the nose!

SECOND - And to help us finish off our projects (cards, tags, Christmas (or New Years) table decorations and place cards), Stampin' Up! announced today that they are having a year end clearance on-line so you can shop at home, and have your order sent directly to your house in time to finish off all your projects (or to buy at special prices so you have what you need ready for next year - kinda like an early Boxing Day sale!).

Many products I used in these cards are either on the year end clearance sale or in the Holiday Catalogue retired list - so check it out and get them while they are still available - once they are gone, they are gone and I don't want YOU to be the one with the sad face!

You can use this link to see all the details - while the Year-end Sale is on, you won't find a separate category for "clearance rack" but don't worry - they've all been rolled into the one area so you won't miss out on anything on your wish list!

All on-line shoppers receive a special thank-you gift from me when you order, so don't be "anonymous" or I can't send you the "Thank You"! And I do want you to know I appreciate you sharing your crafting time with me!

Happy Stamping, and a special wish for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you so much for being a part of my stampin' world!
