Happy Birthday!!!

Ok it's my birthday but I want to celebrate with everyone! Did you see my post the other day? No? Well you can go here or read on!

Since today is the last day for Sale-a-Bration and my birthday I thought I'd like to give you something. I really loved the glimmer paper that Stampin' Up! had in it's second release and needed to place an order so I made sure I got that paper! Now what does that have to do with my birthday? Well doesn't glimmer, balloons, confetti, all go with birthdays? I think so! So I did a quick search for ideas and found this card and adapted it for myself and YOU!

How do you get this? Just place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & tax) and I'll send it to you! Pretty simple! Now while you're shopping, make sure to pick out something from Sale-a-Bration as well! Also if you look at the tabs at the top you'll see the Loyalty Rewards tab, if you go there and print out the Loyalty Rewards tracker sheet you'll be on your way to earning a FREE stamp set down the line! So for $50 you'll get a FREE Sale-a-Bration item, 3 sheets of glimmer paper & materials to make a card! Plus get you started or earn another Butterfly! I hope you're enjoying my birthday!


Would you like some ideas for other specials we have going on? How about Paper Pumpkin? I subscribe to this and love getting this each month and making the project or coming up with something on my own. These kits are great for those who don't have a lot of time, new to stamping or even those who have been stamping for awhile. They even make great gifts! So here's the deal, when you purchase a 3 month (or more) subscription you'll earn at least 1 Sale-a-Bration item! When you purchase a whole year, you'll get 4 Sale-a-Bration items, Hostess Rewards, AND 4 Butterflies!

The last deal, and I've saved the best for last, is our starter kit! When you join my TEAM and Stampin' Up! you get the BEST deal of all! The kit is ALWAYS a great deal, but Stampin' Up! has sweetened the deal even more! You also get to choose 2 stamp sets of your choice! That's another $104 value! So for $99 you get $125 worth of product, 2 stamp sets valued at $104, a Paper Pumpkin kit valued at $19.95, you also get FREE shipping on all this! That's another 10%, that's about another $25 in savings for ONLY $99! There is no obligation to hold parties or hold classes. It's all up to you what you do. You'll get a minimum of 20% discount on all your orders and you'll make 20% on all your friends and families orders! The bad news, this special ends TODAY! For more info you can go to Join My Team, my website, or contact me.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Final Days of Sale-a-Bration & FREE GIFT!!!

You read right! There are 3 days left to Sale-a-Bration and I want it to go out with a BANG! If you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping and tax) I'll send you the supplies to make one of the cards below, plus 3 sheets of the glimmer paper that is not longer available! I loved that paper and I guess a lot of others did too! It was part of the 2nd Release of Sale-a-Bration and it went quick! I have some, so if you'd like a sampling (they came in 6x6) I'll send you one sheet of each color, plus the materials to make one of the cards. It will already be die cut and embossed, you'll just need to stamp it and tie the ribbon!

My birthday is the last day of Sale-a-Bration and I was thinking why not send out a gift to my loyal customers! So besides the thank you card I send out with all orders, when you place an order of $50 (before shipping & tax) or more, you'll get a Sale-a-Bration item from Stampin' Up!, I'll send you the materials to make this card and 3 sheets of the glimmer paper. You can choose which you want to use!

So what are you waiting for? SHOP NOW! If you have a question or need help with anything, please contact me.

Making Swaps For On Stage!

It's about 2 weeks before I head to Richmond for On Stage Local! I can't wait. I'm participating in a shoebox swap and also making some general swaps for this event. If you're not sure what a swap is, it's really very simple. Swapping is used in lots of groups. For Stampin' Up! we make cards (usually just the card front) and swap them with others that have done the same. It's a great way to get more ideas and samples of stamps I may not have.

A shoebox swap is kinda like a stamp a stack. For a shoebox swap I design a card, then cut everything that is needed for that card and have all the supplies in a box (including embellishments, etc) for everyone to make. There are almost 50 participants to this swap! So I'll have much to share when I return.

I'm also making about 50 general swaps. I showed those swaps on Saturday. Here is a picture of what this all looks like.

So here it is close up and what the whole thing looks like. I really like how this turned out and hope you do too. Please leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

If you're also wondering what On Stage is, that's where we (demonstrators) get together to learn about new product, business ideas, stamp, and meet up with others we haven't seen in awhile. It's a great experience! At this event we're going to see the new annual catalog! Can you believe that our catalog year will be ending soon? (May 31). At this event, not only do we see what's new, Stampin' Up! gives us ideas on different ways to use these products. There are always lots of samples to see, plus we get our hands on some of these products! We can also order some items early to give us a chance to start making samples to share with our customers and plan classes. So I can't wait! If you'd like to join me at another event, you can become a demonstrator at any time, but this is the BEST time to join! You can go to my website to learn more or this post!

Monthly Swap

I mentioned my monthly swap before. I'm in a group of 10 women and we swap on a monthly basis. Each month has a different theme. Swaps are due at the end of the month. I'll be sending mine out today or Monday. For March the these is a color combo. For this one the combo was Dapper Denim, Pool Party, and Sahara Sand. Not sure why, but I wanted to use our Irresistibly Floral Designer Series paper, but I must have seen something that looked great and I adapted it for what I wanted to do.

If you're not familiar with it, you're missing out! This paper has already been heat embossed for you! You get 12 sheets of 6 designs. You can use this paper plain, just like it is or you can add color to it. I wanted color, so that's what I did. Here is the card I did for my swap.

I'll be teaching this card in the Technique class next month, so if you'd like to learn how to do this, please join me! Here is the link for that class. I also decided to do this card for my general swap for On Stage.

This is a close up of the card above but using different colors. I used dimensionals behind the flower center and behind the flower itself. Not sure if you can see it on the cards but I also used Clear Wink of Stella on the flower center. It adds just a bit of bling!







I hope you enjoyed seeing this card and again, if you'd like to join me for class to learn how to do this card and more, RSVP here on my website. If you'd like to purchase any of these items and don't already have a demonstrator, I'd be happy to help you. The links are below for all the products I used.
