NEW HOSTESS BENEFITS

Hey Crafters! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! Hope you have a great day. I want to share a little info on the new Hostess program Stampin' Up! developed; it's AWESOME! If you would like to host a workshop OR catalog party please let me know!

Effective July 1, 2011, our new Hostess Benefits program will feature a simpler program, with hostess dollars that can be applied to either exclusive hostess items or other catalog merchandise or a combination of both! There is also the opportunity to purchase any item out of the catalog at 50% (starting at a $400 workshop total)! Thanks for visiting!

Petite Pennants Builder Punch

Hey Crafters! Well, it's my favorite time of year, the release of the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog! I love July for that reason alone! I spend days checking out the new products, drooling over the project samples and making my wish list! One of the first items I purchased is our new Petite Pennants Punch and I want to share my first project with you using that punch. Not only did I use a new punch but I also used our new In-color, Pool Party...so cool (ooopsie, forgive that pun)! The stampset used for the pennants is the new Pennant Parade, the sentiment is stamped using the Create a Cupcake stampset. The classic ink used is also the new In-color Pool Party. If you'd like to check out the online catalog please click on the new catalog on the right. If you'd like your own copy you can order one through my online store or email me privately to purchase one from me for 50% off! Add one dollar if you live outside of Arizona. Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting!

VERY EXCITED

Hey Crafters! Can I share a personal note? I am so excited this evening. Tomorrow my son and his family fly in from Washington! I have visited him four times since he moved to Washington in 2000 and he has been to visit us zero times! I never thought he'd come to visit in Arizona because he does not like heat. Even as a child he was not a fan of hot weather. So I am totally excited and praying for a cold front to move in! LOL! This kid is 36 and you can't believe how much he's complaining about our 110 weather...LOL! Trust me friends, it's going to be an interesting week! Today's card share uses Tempting Turquoise c/s layered with Whisper White c/s. Then I layered dsp from the Bold Brights paper pack. The sentiment is stamped using the Swirls & Curls Verses hostess level 1 stampset from the current summer mini. Even though this set is retiring I'll be hanging on to it, isn't it a cute sentiment? Thanks for visiting!

JUST BELIEVE

Hey Crafters! I am still having trouble posting to Blogger and I've emailed them with no response as yet. So here I am trying again. Today's cards share uses a stampset that is not retiring and is a great set called Just Believe. The card is Not Quite Navy c/s, the dsp is Paisley Petals. Whisper White c/s was cut using the Scallop Circle die and the Big Shot. The sentiment is from the same stampset but can you tell that I used two classic inks; Daffodil Delight and Not Quite Navy? I did the "rock and roll" method to get that look. Sorry it's been so long, thanks for visiting!

A QUICK POST

Hello Crafters! Sorry it's been a while; I was leading crafts for children at our vacation bible school this past week and it kept me extremely busy, as you can imagine. The card is Always Artichoke c/s, the dsp is Paisley Petals (2011/2012 catalog)cut with the Top Note die and the Big Shot. The dsp is layered on Early Espresso c/s also cut with the Top Note Die. Thanks for visiting!

LOVE LETTER DSP

Hey Crafters! Today's card share features the Vintage Vogue stampset that will not be retiring, hallelujah! But it does feature beautiful dsp that is retiring called Love Letter. The card base is Riding Hood Red c/s layered with Very Vanilla c/s; the Love Letter dsp is then added as a third layer and another strip of the dsp was added on the side. The stamped images are on Very Vanilla c/s layered on Basic Black c/s. The images are stamped using Basic Gray and Riding Hood Red classic inks. Do you like the ribbon? It is our 1 1/4" striped grosgrain which I cut down the middle. I like how the edges frayed a bit. Lastly I sprayed the entire card with Champagne Shimmer Paint in a hand sanitizer bottle! Have a great week-end, thanks for visiting!
