Stamping with Michelle

Now offering kit parties!

It's been a couple of years now that Stampin' Up has been offering kit parties, but with this year's catalog, they really outdid themselves!  

The kits are fantastic all by themselves, but they would also be great for a party.  A party, you say?  Do tell!

Here's how it works.  You pick the kit that you would like to make at your party.  Each person will get their own kit as well as an adhesive.  I will need the fee from each person two weeks ahead of time so that I can preorder the kits.  The night of your party, I will bring the kits as well as the stamps and ink that are needed to complete the projects and we will make up the kits. 

The best part is that not only do you get hostess benefits from orders placed the night of your party, but you also get hostess credit for the value of the kits and adhesive!  You and your friends will have a fun night of stamping and you get to pick free product for it!

I think my favorite kit is the Tin of Cards kit:

Not only does this kit make 16 cards, but you also get the great organizational tin!  The fee to do this kit as a party is $45.00 per person.

Sprinkles of Life Cupcake card

*Tap, tap* Is this thing on?

It's been so long since I blogged, I feel like I need to do a little explaining before I can begin. As most of you know, I started a full time job last fall as a secretary at my local middle school.  While I love my job, I quickly realized that I needed to make some shifts in my business.  Additionally, about two months after I started my new job, there were some temporary shifts in my husband's work schedule that lasted through the winter.  Now that the summer is half over, I finally feel like I've caught up with myself.

I've missed blogging, but I also recognize that I need to be realistic with myself.  So many times, I'd think about how this or that project would be great on the blog, but it was overwhelming to think about actually getting a blog post up.  I think at this point, the best I can do is to try to post once or twice a month.  Perhaps if I start there, I can then build off that.

So...with all that said, how about I share something?

This card was the one that I brought with me to Hawaii on the incentive trip as my swap.  I literally had two days to come up with an idea and stamp my 25 swaps, so I needed something quick.  My new catalog preorder had arrived, so I naturally decided to play with those goodies!

The Sprinkles of Life set is this year's Ronald McDonald House set.  It's a 22-piece set in photopolymer for $21.00 and $3.00 from the sale of each set is donated to RMHC.  It also has the coordinating Tree Builder punch.  

You can order any of these supplies by going to my website

Happy Stamping!
