Getting back into the stamping groove
I am again on another (and last for awhile) trip, this time up to visit my parents. My mom had an event last night and so I came up to help her get ready and be there for the event. I have to tell you about a cool thing she did with one of the…
Simply Sent Card Element Kit Challange
Between Christmas and New Year’s, I was visiting family out in Oklahoma. I knew there would be lots of time spent hanging out with family, especially playing with my 6mo old nephew; but I also knew there would be downtime when the guys were playing video games or we were just all sitting around doing…
New Hostess Set from the Spring/Summer SU! Catalog
As part of the demo sneak, we are able to see some of the hostess level 2 and level 3 sets. I’m still deciding which ones to order, but while my mom was visiting, she brought her level 3 set called Dream a Little. It has a two step stamping flower head, two other long…
A Quickie Christmas Card
So, I finally decided to start doing challenges on Split Coast Stampers and so I just did my first one, which was for SU demonstrators to come up with quicky holiday cards. I still think I could have gone a bit more simple but at least the technique is very easy. I think all told,…
One set of supplies – two totally different cards
So, as I mentioned in an earlier post, at my Thank You card stack some of the ladies took my basic card design and reimagined it into a completely different card. To be honest, that is one of my favorite things about card parties and workshops. People start getting creative and you come away with…
Happy Thanksgiving – a card for you!
Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving with friends and family. I was up this morning and thought I would make you all a card. 🙂 Have a wonderful day and rest up for black friday tomorrow! I have to say, I tried the 5 am start on Black Friday one year and once was…
Sneak peak for Saturday Thank You card stamp-a-stack
Ack! I suddenly remembered that I forgot to post a sneak peak for the Thank you Stamp-a-Stack on Saturday. We will be making 12 cards total (4 each of 3 different designs) all for only $15! You should join us… you know you want to. : ) Anyway, here is a quick sample of one…
My elegant embossed wedding card
I will be flying to New York this Friday to attend my cousins wedding. I keep calling it a NY socialite wedding because it is at a fancy resort in upstate NY and I heard that they will each have 12 attendants in the ceremony. It is a black tie affair and all that,…
Swap card overload!
So, I showed you a couple posts ago about the cool gifts I was given and projects I made at the group meeting on Saturday. I also mentioned that I participated in a card swap. The other ladies made such awesome cards that I had to share! And here are a few of my favorites!
Why I love my Stampin’ Up! Uplines
Because they are awesome and organize great events! So, yesterday I went to a group meeting organized by my very distant upline (for those of you not familiar with the term, my upline is the person who recruited me to be a demonstrator). It was for everyone in her group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and their recruits. …
Fun with heat embossing
Last night was both a technique tuesday and a historic presidential election. So, we ended up combining the two events into an election watch party in the living room and technique tuesday in the dining room. 🙂 We had a small group but had fun trying out a few different ways to add texture and…
The Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Swap
So, a couple weeks back I participated in a card swap based on the Stampin’ Up! 2008 Holiday Mini catalog. It was myself and 9 other SU demonstrators designing cards using the new stamp sets from the Holiday Mini and then mailing them in to one person who would then mail back one of each…
