Awesome New Product Videos!

Upcoming Classes and Current Promotions:

_____________________________________________________________

Wow ... Stampin' Up has outdone themselves with their new videos posted on  their Stampin' Up! YouTube Channel.  Today I'm going to share some of my favorites with you.

Stampin' Up! has created this bundle with new alignment tabs!  You have to watch the video to see how amazing this is.  This bundle will be featured in my November Holiday Card Stamp-a-Stack Series!

 

These are so stinkin' cute ... and easy, too!  We will be making these at my September Stamp Club meeting.  Would you like to make one these?  The Stamp Club is open to anyone who would like to attend.  You can attend for either a $15 fee or attend for FREE with a minimum $25 order.  Email me today to RSVP.


Want to make your own gift boxes this year?  Here's the product to do it!  For those of you familiar with the Envelope Punch Board this is very similar.  It's a great way to make just the right size -- up to 4" square.


And don't forget the paper ... Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper.

  
Last, but not least is the Snowflake Card Thinlits Dies.  I have to admit I was pretty confused when I got this die.  I just couldn't figure out how to get the snowflake cut all of the way out.  Watch this video and you'll see how!  We will be using this in my October Holiday Card Stamp-a-Stack Series!



I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did.  Be sure to check out th 2014 Holiday Catalog PDF and you browse all of the Holiday items Online.

I'm so excited to finally share with you the cards we will be making at my September SAS!


Bright & Beautiful SAS —This class will feature the Bright & Beautiful stamp set, and we'll create 6 each of these two card designs for a total of 12 cards!  These cards are all about the silver and gold.  You're going to love the shimmer and sparkle when you see them!
Class Kit Content -- Your kit will include the Bright & Beautiful stamp set, one full package of Rhinestone Basic Jewels, plus all of the supplies (minus ink and adhesive) to create 12 cards (6 each of 2 designs) with envelopes.  You will also receive an email with a list of all of the supplies used and instructions for each card.


Class Kit Fee -- $40 for the clear mount style, $48 for wood mount. Shipping additional, if needed.
Class Date -- Sunday, September 21st at 2:00 PM.  Out of town or can't make it?  No problem, order a Class-To-Go Kit!
Class-To-Go Kits -- The cost is the same for the to-go kits.  Below is a list of supplies you might want to consider if you are selecting this option.  Some possible substitutions for the following products might be:

  • Metallic Silver Encore ink:  you could use Versamark and Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder or Smoky Slate Classic Ink.
  • Stampin' Blendabilities Markers Cherry Cobbler Assortment:  you could use a red sharpie marker or leave them plain.
  • Stars Framelits Dies:  while using the framelits is much quicker and easier, these stars could be cutout by hand.

I'll need to know whether you want clear or wood mount stamps and if you want any additional cards or products added to your order. Payment is due with your registration.

Are you ready to get all of the pretty new patterned papers?  Now that the new catalog has gone live, I can share photos of the new Designer Series Paper.  I've already ordered mine and can't wait for it to get here next week!

My DSP Share is a great way to get all of the new paper at a price you can afford!  Not familiar with shares?  Shares essentially mean several of you go together to purchase all the different colors/styles of a product and then I divide the product so you each get a little of each style/color to sample without having to buy full packs of everything.

Designer Series Paper Share Contents

  • Typeset Specialty Paper—2 each of 6 designs (12 sheets, 6x6")
  • Gold Soriee Specialty Paper—1 each of 6 designs (6x6")
  • Flowerpot DSP—1 each of 6 designs (6x6")

  • Park Lane DSP—1 each of 6 designs (6x6")
  • Maritime DSP—1 each of 6 designs (6x6")
  • Lullaby DSP—1 each of 6 designs (6x6")
  • Back To Black DSP—1 each of 6 designs (6x6")
  • Moonlight DSP Stack—1 each of 12 designs (4-1/2 x 6-1/2")
  • All Abloom DSP Stack—1 each of 12 designs (4-1/2 x 6-1/2")
  • 2014-2016 In Color DSP Stack—2 each of 2 designs in 5 colors (20 sheets, 6x6")
  • Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper—1 each (6x6")
  • Gold Glimmer Paper—1 each (6x6")
  • Silver Glimmer Paper—1 each (6x6")

All of this for only $25!  If you were to purchase all of these items on your own it would cost you $193.26.  Wholly molly that's a lot!

DOUBLE SHARE ($45): Get DOUBLE the amount of paper for 6" x 12" cuts of all sheets indicated above as 6" x 6" – this extra length is perfect for scrapbookers, bigger dies or just those who love paper! Please note that the the 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" DSP is pre-cut by the company and this portion of the share will just be double sheets. 
SAVE 10% with the Double Share!!!

Are you getting excited?  I can't wait to start sharing all of the new products with you from the new 2014-2015 Annual Catalog!  There are so many products that you are going to love.

One of the exciting things about a new annual catalog is the In Colors.  Let me just tell you ... I LOVE the new In Colors!

And not only do we have ink and card stock in these new colors, we have some beautiful ribbon an super cute accessories to go with them.  Your going to want it all!  

That's why I'm going to help you get it all without breaking the bank.  I know that ordering new card stock, ink, ink refills, markers, ribbons and accessories for 5 new colors can be expensive.  So, I've come up with a way for you to get it all while spreading to cost out over a 5 month period.  How awesome is that?

I'm so excited to announce the details of the 2014-2016 In Color Club! The club runs from June – October 2014 and there's also an EXPRESS option for those who want to get everything all in one shot.

Here are the 2014-2016 In Colors from left to right:
  • Blackberry Bliss
  • Hello Honey
  • Lost Lagoon
  • Mossy Meadow
  • Tangelo Twist

How the Club Works

Every month, you will receive the following (multiply the list by 5 for what you'll have by the end of 5 months!)
  • A Color Coach Card to give you color combination ideas for your In Color of the Month
  • A hand stamped card featuring your In Color of the Month
  • 1 Package of 8 1/2 x 11 Card Stock (24 sheets)
  • 1 Ink Pad
  • 1 Ink Refill
  • 1 Spool 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon
  • 4 Printed Clothespins
  • 1 Stampin' Write Marker
  • 2, 6" x 12" Sheets of In Color Backgrounds Designer Series Paper Stack
In Color Months:
  • June - Blackberry Bliss

  • August - Lost Lagoon
  • September - Mossy Meadow
  • October - Tangelo Twist



Here's a sample of the Blackberry Bliss card stock, ink, ink refill, marker and ribbon.
