February Stamp Class

Spring is here, and what better way to celebrate Valentine's Day and Sale-A-Bration (SAB) than stamping some fresh new cards!!

I call the top left card my all-FREE-SAB card, since almost every part of it was made using FREE SAB products.  Stamps, papers, ribbons and buttons, even the embossing folder are all available FREE with a $50 purchase.  So bright, cute, and easy to make, I've got to do more of these... and they'll be FREE too!

Next is a landscape-oriented gate-fold card, perfect for the heart window opening and new wide Two-Tone ribbon.  I'll show you how easy it is to align the framelit for a perfect window opening; it's a different look that you'll want to try out with other window shapes too.

The bottom two cards are also good for the valentines in your life, but could easily be adapted for birthday or other occasions.  Masculine and bold or soft and sweet, they take full advantage of the "More Amore" Designer Papers in this month's Accessory Kit.

SAB is here!

It's Sale-A-Bration, one of my very favorite times in the Stampin' Up calendar year!  I love FREE goodies, and know that most everyone else does too. For each $50 in orders, you can choose to get an exclusive FREE stamp set, Designer paper, ribbons and buttons, embossing folder, or other accessories! There's no limit, each qualifying order gets you another freebie!
It's also the best time to host a Stampin' Up party with your friends, since it only takes 3 qualifying orders (present or not) to earn credit towards ANYTHING in the catalog which starts with $25 in Hostess dollars at the lowest level!  Most parties this time of year go 'way beyond the average $300 level, so hostesses reap in lots of goodies!  Contact me for more details, I'd be happy to explain/send you some info and you can see how easy it is to do in a way that's best for you.  We'll be using some of the SAB products in February's Stamp Class, pictures coming out very soon.

You can order online on my website (see column on the right), place an order during monthly stamp classes (and earn a FREE class too!), or host a party, but do it soon!  SAB ends March 22.

Techniques Class Reminder

Just a  quick note that the deadline to sign up for the January Techniques Class is Tuesday, Jan. 8.  Be sure to let me know if you'd like a spot and don't want to miss this super fun stamping time!

Half-off SU inkpads anyone?

After using the new firm foam pads in classes and in my own stamping for the last 6 months, I decided to take the plunge and ordered the new pads in the Regals, Subtles, and Brights Collections; getting them  free with last month’s free pad promo plus as Hostess credit and ½ off helped a lot!  (I didn’t order Neutrals yet – not until they figure out the smearing problem with Basic Black.)

Now I have many used pads to sell from the color collections above, so here's your chance to pick up lots of colors to coordinate with your Stampin' Up cardstock and Designer Papers!  I LOVE having all of the colors when stamping a project, but know it can be expensive to buy them all at once at regular price.

Here are the details:

·         Classic dye ink pads in Regals, Subtles, and Brights = $3.50 each or $3.00 each for 4 or more (no shipping or tax, yay!)

·         I will clean and re-ink all of them so that they will be as fresh as possible.
·         Requests for colors will be taken in the order I receive them.  

If you come to class this month, you can pick up your pads at the same time, so easy!  Contact me quick, don't miss this chance to get those colors you're missing!

January Techniques Class

   With the start of a new year, it's time to check out some of the new goodies from the Spring Mini Catalog as well as learn some new techniques; are you ready for the WOW?
    First we'll make a Waterfall Card, which magically flips open to reveal each section when you pull the tab. Next, is the Step-by-Step Card, a really dimensional look that is so perfect with the new whale stamp & framelit die, coordinating papers, and cute clip adornment. Finally, we'll focus on making a card using negative space, which may give you a whole new view of your "leftover" punched pieces. We'll be using our Simply Scored Tool a lot, including the new curved Borders Plate, you'll love it! As with all of my Technique Classes, you will receive printed instructions including measurements so that you can reproduce your cards again at home. 
   Come to class and get your free Spring Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure, which starts on Jan. 22.  Plan to host a stamping party then, it's the best time of the year!
