Frosted Floral Card

Written by on · 2 Comments

I have been super busy with prepping for our all day retreat which is less than 2 weeks away. So busy that I just realized I never shared the card I said I would last week using the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love the color combination of Rich Razzleberry and Soft Sea Foam. The DSP has so many different colors in it that when I realized I didn’t have enough Razzleberry cardstock for all of my classes I easily substituted Blackberry Bliss which looked just as good together.

I used the dies from Stitched Labels Framelits and Stitched Framelits for the sentiment focal point of the card with a few leaves punched out with the leaf punch.

Speaking of punches, I was working on a retreat project yesterday and punched out almost 1000 pieces. Can’t share yet what. It needs to be a surprise.

A big thank you to everyone who helped me celebrate reaching $200,000 in career sales by entering my giveaway drawing for the Falling for Leaves bundle. There were many who entered via the blog post and/or through my Facebook page. There were so many favorite stamp sets named but the one that got the most mentions was Lovely as a Tree. An oldie but certainly a goodie. And now the winner is …..

Product of the Week

For this week I selected a package of designer series paper that is absolutely beautiful. The photo in the catalog can not begin to show how elegant and shimmery it truly is.

It is part of the Frosted Floral Suite which also includes a stamp set, framelits, ribbon and embellishments. Because I just cannot buy everything, this is one suite where I made the decision to only purchase the designer series paper and use it with other product that I already owned. You’ll have to check back later in the week to see the card that I made with the paper.

Wild About You

Written by on · 6 Comments

The card today is the cute giraffe from the Animal Outing stamp set. The inspiration for the card came right from the annual catalog. I changed a few things and this is the card we did in classes this week.

One of the stamps is the sentiment Wild About You  but I really wanted the card to say Wild on the front and About You on the inside. One way to do that is to mask the words so that only the word you want is inked up. But using in a class with several people can become problematic so I simply cut the stamp in two. I do that sometimes with my stamps.

I do love the leaf ribbon which is perfect for this card. I used glue dots on the back of some of the leaves to hold it in place. By not putting a glue dot on every leaf it leaves some of them loose, almost like they are blowing in the wind.

Don’t forget to leave a comment on my Giveaway Post to be entered into the drawing for the FREE Falling For Leaves bundle. You can see it here.

Have a wonderful day.

Tip of the Week – Keeping up with your Dies

Written by on · 2 Comments

I don’t always get things put away immediately after I’ve used them and sometimes even start another project before the last one is cleaned up. That comes from being busy, tired, or on a deadline to get the next card done. That can lead to having things left out and then I don’t remember where they go. Then I wind up going through the catalog page by page trying to figure it out. If you’re like me then check out my video Tip of the Week.

Thanks for checking in and have a good week.

Woo Hoo! Goal Reached & Give-Away Announced

Written by on · 27 Comments

Several months ago I set a goal to reach $200,000 in career sales by the end of September. This is the total over my 15 years as a demonstrator. You might wonder why the end of September. Well it’s because October 1st is the beginning of a new Stampin’ Up year so I wanted to end the year with reaching this milestone.  I would also then be recognized at the OnStage international convention which is November 7th in Orlando. And it all comes with a nice bonus check from Stampin’ Up! I am so excited to have met that goal.

I am blessed and so very thankful for such wonderful and loyal customers and downline. So with that, and to keep this celebration going, I am having a drawing for a give-away.

Falling for Leaves Bundle

 

 

Again, with a grateful heart, thank you. I wouldn’t have reached it without you.

Hugs

 

 

Tuesday’s Tip of the Week

Written by on · 1 Comment

No matter how careful I am with those little bits of cardstock that fall out of dies it seems like they wind up everywhere. Just like the paper backs from dimensionals.  I have discovered an easy way to clean them up.

 

Redeem Bonus Coupons this month!

If you earned any $5 Bonus coupons during the month of August remember you have to redeem them this month. Each $50 order in August earned one coupon. Stampin’ Up! would have emailed you a coupon code that has to be entered with an order this month to get the $5 discount.

 

If you order the Take Your Pick tool this month you will be entered into a drawing for a free putty refill.

Thanks for stopping by,
