Free Convention 2014 registration

How would you like to attend Stampin' Up's convention this summer for free?!  Convention is the biggest Stampin' Up event of the year.  In January, Stampin' Up announced that new demonstrators who sign up from July 1, 2013 until registration closes, will be elgible for a free registration, a $295 value! (You are still responsible for your hotel and travel expenses).

This is an awesome opportunity!  I just love convention!  It's always so exiciting to be among 3000 other people as passionate about rubber stamps as you are!  There are business classes, stamping classes and product giveaways!  I'd love to have YOU join me!  

The starter kit is $99, and until March 31, you can select $150 worth of product to put into it.  You will get to enjoy being a part of Stampin' Up until the end of your first full quarter.  Then, if you have sold or purchased $300 in products, you will renew for another quarter.  You can join by clicking here.

Now...before I go....there's only ten days left in saleabration.  How about a sample?

 

Materials: Petal Parade and Lots of Thanks

Card stock: Sahara Sand (5 1/2" x 8 1/2"), Pool Party (5 1/4" x 4"), Crisp Canteloupe (1/2" x 2") and Whisper White card stock (2"x 4") and Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (5 1/4" x 2")

Ink: Crisp Canteloupe, Sahara Sand and Pool Party

Accessories: Big Shot, Decorative Dots embossing folder, Angled Tag Topper punch, Crumb Cake 3/8" taffeta ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

This card features the Saleabration set Petal Parade, and I think it was one of my favorites this time.  It also features the embossing folder Decorative Dots.  I've had so much fun with this folder! I'm going to be sad when it's gone!

It also features the Angled Tag Topper punch, another one of my new favorites.  A little tip. The bed of the punch is 2" wide, so that is the maximum you want to cut your card stock.  However, I have found it's better to cut your card stock just shy of 2".  It makes it much easier to fit into the punch.

Happy Stamping!

Did you miss me?

Hey everyone!

Did you think I forgot about you?  It's been a crazy, busy month.  I've been coaching my daughter's Odyssey of the Mind team, and the regional competition was this past Saturday.  It was all I could do to keep things going while the team worked feverishly to make sure they were ready.  Something had to give!

The good news is that the team placed first and will now move on to the State competition on March 29.  The other good news is that even though we're moving on, the heavy lifting is basically done, so I should be able to resume something of a normal schedule again.

So...without further ado...here's a sample for you:

Materials: Petal Parade and A Dozen Thoughts

Card stock: Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate, and Whisper White

Ink: Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana

Accessories: Hexagon punch, Scalloped Tag Topper punch, Big Shot, Scallops Embossing Folder, Coastal Cabana ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals

I had seen a card similar to this and I couldn't wait to try it.  In order to fit three tags across the card, you need to make your piece narrower than the 2" that will fit into the  tag topper punch.  I cut these at 1 1/2".   Because they are narrower, I recommend that you flip the punch over so you can center it more accurately.

Once your tags are punched, line up the three pieces and do your stamping.  That way when you separate them, they will look like the images are running from one to the other...because they are!

Last week, Stampin Up released another Photopolymer set.  I was too busy to even worry about getting it posted, so here it is, albeit a little belatedly:

Aren't they just the cutest?  Choose from Sweetie Pie or Sweetie Pie Frames...or get both!  They're a great value :)

As always, you can order any of these products by clicking on the links.  This will take you directly to my webstore.

Happy Stamping!

Banner Blast Tag Card

Boy...it sure doesn't feel like March out there, does it?  How about a happy sample to cheer us all up?  This is card I was doing in my private card classes last month, and it just makes me smile!

Materials: Banner Blast and Sassy Salutations

Card stock: Island Indigo and Whisper White and Quatrefancy Specialty DSP

Ink: Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight and Strawberry Slush

Accessories: Scalloped Tag Topper punch, Bitty Banner punch, Island Indigo Bakers Twine, and Stampin' Dimensionals

This card features the Banner Blast and Bitty Banner punch, both of which are from the Saleabration catalog.  You can get either of those items for free through the end of March with any $50 purchase.

It also features the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.  I think the tag topper punches are one of my favorite new things from the Occasions catalog. I've been using those punches on absolutely everything!  I hope that they get carried over into the main catalog, but in case they don't, you will definitely want to get them now!

You can order any of these products (including the tag topper punches!), by clicking on the links above.

Happy Stamping!
