Weekly Deals and a Couple of Excuses...

I've been a slacker when it comes to blogging.  I've had a good excuse, though... actually two. I've been sick, and I've been out of town. My other business (the Scottish import shop) takes me out of town several times a year, and this month's festival kicked my butt. However, I am back and getting healthier every day. Now that I'm back, here is what's going on in my stampin' world...

WEEKLY DEALS!!!  Check out these fabulous Stampin' Up! items which are on sale this week (until Monday, February 24):

I must order the In Color Dahlias (these colors are retiring in May, so get them now before they are gone) and the Etcetera Designer Series Paper (I used most of it on my swaps for Leadership). I could probably use a new corner punch because mine is the old "whale" style. What's on your Weekly Deal must have list???

Want to order these items? Then visit my website and use this month's hostess code 2SJFBC96. If your order is at least $150, don't use the hostess code. Instead keep the Stampin' Rewards for yourself! Either way, you will earn a FREE Sale-a-Bration item for every $50 in product you order.
Thank you for stopping by!

Hip Hip Hooray, It's a New Card Kit!

I really LOVE the Stampin' Up! card kits. I think they are SO much better than the Simply Sent kits they have offer in the catalogs. Don't get me wrong, I think the Simply Sent kits are great - and so cute, but the new Everyday Occasions Card Kit and the newest Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit are AMAZING!!!! Check out the pictures of a few of the cards I made from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit...

 

 

 

 

 

 

You get virtually everything you need to create beautiful cards - the card bases, envelopes, die cuts, embellishments, adhesive (Dimensionals and Glue Dots), and even the stamps, acrylic block and Stampin' Spot (ink)! Really all you need is a pair of Paper Snips (and Stampin' Up! has them, too... imagine that *wink*).

 

If you want to order this kit - with everything you need to make 20 cards, all for $19.95 (plus tax and shipping), then visit my online store! Oh, and by the way... even though all of these cards read, "thanks," you receive three stamps in this kit. I used all the cards for my hostess club orders! *smile*

 

Thank you for stopping by!

 

 Have fun stamping!

Unleash Your Creativity... with Undefined!

Have you ever needed just the right stamp, only to find Stampin' Up! doesn't have it? Well, my favorite set from Stampin' Up! retired years ago, and it is packed away in my garage (don't ask). The easier solution? Create my own stamp using Stampin' Up!'s new Undefined kit!

You may be wondering why an apple core? Well, with a maiden name like CORE, it just seemed fitting! I've actually created ones for my nieces, too, and will be sending them for Valentine's Day.

Want to see how the Undefined kit works? Check out the video from Stampin' Up! below, then head over to my Stampin' Up! store to order your own Undefined kit!

 

 

Thank you for stopping by. Now go design and stamp! *smile*

Hostess Club Creations!

I love getting together with the ladies from my monthly rotating hostess club.  These get-togethers are filled with lots of fun... chatting, stories, laughs, snacks and of course card-making! Check out a couple of cards that we made!

The card fold was based on a swap I received at Leadership. You can dress up this card using so many different Designer Series Papers and varying the stamp set! Such a versatile layout!!
