Paper Pumpkin Special!!!

Now is the time to try out Paper Pumpkin! This is a one day special and expires at 11:59pm! (Mountain Time) I love getting my Paper Pumpkin kit in the mail and make the items they suggest and then try my hand at doing something different too!

This was June's kit and such an adorable kit for the summer! One customer mentioned this was perfect for giving a few teachers their gift in for the end of school! When you subscribed to Paper Pumpkin through me I put aside a day (or evening) to work on my Paper Pumpkin kit with my customers. We will make what's in the kit or come up with something different! Another that is so wonderful about this kit! It lets those get to know stamping and those who are seasoned stampers get to be more creative!
Make sure when you sign up you use the promo code ONEDAY0717. You can use this link to get started right away!

A Few More Swaps!!!

I hope you enjoyed the first couple of swaps. There were 20 in all so I'll try and get a few more in this post! So instead of jabbering on, let's get right to the swaps!

These two used the Colorful Seasons stamp set and framelits. This was one of my first purchases in the new catalog and really love it! These stamps are photopolymer and very easy to use when you have to do any of the 2 step stamping. As you can see from both of these examples, they are very different! As the name implies, it covers all the seasons.

This first card, done by Gayle Bassett used the maple leaves stamps & die. I love this look and can't wait to try this myself! I've used similar color combinations and think these go great together.

This next card showcases the summer season and Kelly Pena kept it simple. This chair makes me think of just hanging out in the shade on a hot summer day! This chair doesn't have a coordinating die, but it is a 2 step stamp and super simple to line up! The flowers on this card do have a coordinating die. There are actually 3 size flowers with coordinating dies and 3 intricate flower dies.

I do have a few other cards made with this set and will have to show you in another post.

As I mentioned before, if you'd like to purchase any of these products or need help, let me know. You can contact me HERE or hop on over to my STORE! Don't forget the Hostess Code!

I'll have more samples for you in the next post, so stayed tuned!

New Catalog Swaps!

Yay! It's been a few weeks since I've posted. Now that I have my new planner, I'm hoping that will help me stay on top of things! Getting the pictures seems to be such a chore! That is partly why it's taken me so long to post! I'd love to hear your process to get your pictures from your phone or tablet/ipad onto your computer/laptop. Plugging in my device doesn't seem to do the trick, I have to restart my laptop (which I don't do often enough!). I really need to back up everything and take it into the Apple store and get it updated. Problem is that might slow things down worse! They've told me I can get more memory added (my son said he can do that) but then it's also loading everything back onto my laptop. Just something I really don't want to do. I wish I could have someone else do it for me! LOL!

Ok, enough of that! I've had these wonderful swaps for a couple of weeks now and I've also had some time to play with some of the new stuff (never enough time for that!). So over the next few posts I'll share the swaps I received along with some of the samples I've made.

These first two are made using the Crafting Forever stamp set. It's such a beautiful set and this set has replaced the "Angel Policy" set that had been in the catalog. The sets we used to carry for this purpose had mostly stamps that said "I stamped this", or "hand stamped", etc. along with the "Stampin' Up!" & and copyright symbol. That's what you need if you plan on selling anything you've made with Stampin' Up! images. This new set has a much more artistic feel to it and MANY more uses, as you can see. Here are only two samples, but I've seen a lot more!

In this first card to the left it showcases the new In Colors for 2017-2019. I really love ALL of them and have used all of the colors on several projects. This card was also colored in with markers I think and has Wink of Stella on it. Very pretty and made by Leslie Duffy. She did a beautiful job!

This next creation was done by my upline Tina Rosenkrans. She used the same phrase on hers but it certainly looks nothing like the first card. I do like this phrase and it's something I wish I could do everyday!

Hers is watercolored and she also used Timeless Textures on the background. She created this so you could put it in a frame. I can't wait to get one! For now, I have it displayed on an easel in my studio.

I hope you've enjoyed these 2 cards. If you'd like to know what all the other products used are, contact me and I'd be more then happy to help you out!

If you'd like to purchase any of the items through me you can go to my STORE. Don't forget to use June's Hostess Code HVMJ66AU and you can earn this month's VIP item! To learn more about that, click HERE!

Memories & More!

So have you noticed the Memories & More in the new catalog? It has it's own section but you'll also find it throughout the catalog. That's because the card packs now coordinate with our DSP & stamp sets! So as the name implies, you can do MORE then create memories! They've made it even easier to make cards, 3D items, and Home Decor! I posted a video on my Facebook page, Cyndy's Creative Corner, this morning and also planning a product based class for August. So keep your peepers peeled!

If you'd like to learn more, contact me, or head on over to my STORE, to see all the Memories & More product line.

New Catalog!!!

The new annual catalog is LIVE!!! I placed my order for new items I wasn't able to get before. As a demonstrator, Stampin' Up! lets us order some items the month before the catalog starts so we can start planning and making samples. Now you as a customer can order as well! There are so many new stamps, inks, paper, embellishments in this catalog. I'm certainly going to be busy even more so after this shipment arrivals!

If you haven't received a catalog and would like one email me and I'll get one out to you.

I'll be having my open house July 15, so mark your calendar and make sure you attend, it's going to be FANTASTIC! Hop on over to my website for more details.
