Washi Rosette Trick or Treat!

As I was browsing Pinterest recently, I saw a Pin for making rosettes with washi tape and knew right away I had to try it!  (I'm sorry, I didn't get the name of the person who came up with the idea, so if it was you, let me know so I can give you credit!)  And what better washi tape to use at this time of the year?  Witches Brew Designer Washi Tape!  Take a look.

With all the excitement over the new products and special offers announced by Stampin' Up last week, one has not received a lot of attention.  However, I've heard a lot of good things about this kit from other Demos who have purchased it and made the cards.  It's the Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit.  While it is designed for the new stamper, experienced stampers have also posted some good reviews for this kit.  The details are below:
 

Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit Everyday Occasions was developed with the new customer in mind. It is intended to introduce--by way of a simple, fun experience at a great price--the arts of stamping and cardmaking to people who have not yet experienced the joy of Stampin' Up! products. Why go to the store when a birthday, graduation, wedding or even a time for expressing gratitude comes up? The Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit puts cards for all of those events right at your customers' fingertips, and best of all, they'll be handmade! The kit contains everything necessary (minus adhesive and scissors) to create 20 beautiful cards for almost any occasion, and it comes in a beautiful box to store them in. The kit is the perfect way to introduce people to Stampin' Up!--and it also makes the perfect gift for that creative someone you or your customers know! Some things to be aware of Because Everyday Occasions is designed to introduce stamping to brand-new customers, we will make it available for purchase through a variety of retail venues with the ultimate goal of connecting new customers with demonstrators in their areas.  Everyday Occasions is only available while supplies last. However, this does not mean that once they are gone, they are gone forever.  The Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit makes an excellent gift. The kit sells for $29.95 (makes 20 cards) and is available at my online store by clicking the Stampin' Up! logo on the right  Product #134797 And finally, don't forget the Join for 25 offer! For $25, you receive: $26.95 worth of Stampin' Up! product (it must be more than $25, but not more than $26.95 before tax) ...and NO shipping charge!
