Give Thanks


Hello stampers!

I have an oldie but goodie, but first time for me to share today.  It's a cone wreath.   It was really quite easy and fun to make.  If you've never made one, pop on over to Pinterest or You Tube and check out a couple of the videos.  I used the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper for my wreath.  And do you see the center?  Do you recognize the snowflake in the middle?  It's the reverse side of a gold snowflake pressed into a Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad to color it.  Up close the color is deep and rich and has a little shine to it.



And my #1 tip for making your own?  Use a hot glue gun!  On one of the videos I watched a Snail tape runner was used.  So I started that way.  By morning all my cones came apart!

Happy Halloween

Hello stampers,

I don't know about your part of the world, but around here it feels more like mid December than the day before Halloween!  The little Trick or Treaters will have to wear their coats and mittens over their costumes tomorrow. 

Today I'm sharing one last Halloween card. 


But there's more to this card than just my last Halloween card - the Seasonal Chums bundle will be my November class by mail - and - the little pumpkin is colored with the Blends!  I love how everything came together like that!  (More about that later this week).

I know you can't see it from this photo, but do you remember when Stampin' Up! offered the black glimmer paper?  I pulled out some of my stash to back the little jack-o-lantern.

Christmas Deer

Greetings everyone!

I had my second vendor and craft show of the season yesterday.  Even though the weather was less than desirable and the venue very small, the show was much more successful than the first.  So, if each show builds on the success of the previous, by the beginning of December, I should be selling out of product.  Wouldn't that be nice?

Anyhow, time is running out to get your hands on the highly sought after Merry Patterns Bonus Host Set.  I am offering my customers two ways to get this set:

1.  Place an order or host a workshop totaling $300.00.  The stamp set will automatically be included with your order.  This is in addition to any other hostess benefits you earn.  

2.  Place an order with me.  For every $50.00 ordered, I will enter your name in a drawing to "win" the Merry Patterns stamp set.  There will be a winner for every $300.00 in orders I receive.  I will continue this offer until October 31.

I already have one set to give away.  And I'm very close to having enough orders to have a second set, so place your order by 11:00 PM MDT to get your name in the hat for the drawing!

Here's a card I made recently with this great set!  (By the way, as the stores have started to roll out their holiday products, have you noticed the black plaid everywhere?  Once again Stampin' Up! is on trend!)

Oh, Hello

Hi there, stampers!

It's been a very stressful week around here the past 7 days.  My very talented sister had a serious health scare over last weekend to start things off.  And to finish off the week, my very old princess (dog) had a health scare yesterday.  Both of them will be fine with time and good medical care, but I thought a cheery card would be in order to close out the week.  This card, from my very talented sister fits the bill.
