Okay – I woke up this morning feeling really generous. I tried to decide what to do with that feeling, and I came up with this!
I’ve been offering an Ordering Special for a couple of weeks – but now I’m going to sweeten the pot!
Instead of DOUBLE Peppermint Reward Points – I’m going to make it TRIPLE!
So….what does that mean??
Good morning, ya’ll! I hope that you had a wonderful Easter with your families and friends! I have a super easy, super quick card to share with you today – but, first, I wanted to take a hot second to remind you of one of the biggest benefits available to you during Sale-A-Bration. And that’s the extra bonus money you have to spend on the world’s best bundled kit – the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit! You already know that when you sign up as a Demonstrator – whether you want to do this as a business or as a Hobby Demo (either way you get 20% off everything you order! ) – you get $125 worth of great SU! product for your investment of $99.
And it comes to you with FREE shipping!
But. When you sign up during Sale-A-Bration – Stampin’ Up! is going to give you an EXTRA $30 worth of FREE goodies.
And you get to pick all $155 worth of product. No “Starter Packages” for us – you pick what you want! 🙂
And it still comes to you with FREE shipping!
So – if you have any interest whatsoever in joining Stampin’ Up! – now is the absolutely best time to do it.
And – did I mention that there’s no commitment at all?? If you decide to stay active – you do. If you decide not to – you don’t. Done!
Let me know if you want to get this done before the end of Sale-A-Bration….which is Thursday! 31 March. Don’t miss out, okay?
And – there are some other great bennies that happen during Sale-A-Bration. Check those out here.
This has been a message from your friendly neighborhood Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator. We’ll now return you to our regularly scheduled blog post! 😉
I wanted a quick and easy Clean and Simple Card. So, I pulled out the Sheltering Tree swath image, a few pretty blue ink pads, and the Bold Butterfly Framelits. And this is what I came up with. Take a look-see:
Good Easter morn’ to you all! Rejoice in this day! 🙂
I have an Easter Cross card to share today – but it’s a bit of a cautionary tale! It could be titled: Check Supplies Twice Before Beginning. Or: Always Finish Your Card Front First. And the main character in this decidedly NON-fiction tale is….Gold Foil. You’ll see why shortly!
I used several flower makers for this card – the Botanical Builder Framelits, Petite Petals punch flowers and Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack flowers. And I went back to the In The Meadow stamp set. Just a reminder – this set is in the Occasions catalog – and is only guaranteed active thru the end of the sale period – 31 May. Which seems like a long way away – until you realize it’s practically APRIL! Can you even believe that?? So if you’re wanting this lovely stamp set, get it soon!
Anyway – take a look-see:
So – I love when someone asks me to make a card for them to give to someone special. For me, it means that they really care enough to not want a cookie-cutter card from the grocery store aisle. And that’s cool. I also really like it – a lot! – when that request gives me an excuse to buy a new goody! Like the card I have to share with you today.
My friend has a friend who’s been in the hospital – in and out – for the past several weeks. A long time! He’s a “dog guy” – I made the leap that he’s a “hunting dog guy” – since those are a lot of the kinds of folks she knows. So she wanted a card with a dog and the outdoors.
Sadly – I had yet to purchase the The Wilderness Awaits stamp set. I’ve been so busy acquiring Occasions catalog sets and bundles that I kept pushing that down my list. So now was the perfect opportunity! Once it arrived, I paired it with the In the Meadow set – which did come from the Occasions catalog and I very much hope makes it into the next Annual! I added a few of the great sentiments from Greatest Greetings and….take a look-see:
Happy Friday! I’m peering at you thru the miasma of yellow-green-pine-pollen-plogged eyeballs! The world has become a yellow fog here in the South. Just about the time the temps rose back into the I-want-the-windows-open range, too. But you just can’t do it – or that crud will be all over everything. So…we hunker in our “air tight pollen resistant” houses and glare resentfully outside. Waiting. Waiting. Hoping there’ll be a few days – weeks would be better – between the end of Pollen Season and the start of Hot Humid Season.
And keeping the rescue inhaler in the pants pocket! 🙂
So, today’s card is a spring-y card, again (no, I didn’t use any yellow embossing powder….), that uses the Rose Wonder Suite – which includes the bundled Rose Wonder stamp set and Rose Garden Thinlits! And I did a little watercoloring today with my Aqua Painter. Take a look-see:
Mornin’, y’all – it’s Thursday and that means it’s Blog Hop Day! Welcome back for another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop! I hope that once you’ve perused my offering you’ll check out all the other projects from the ladies-who-hop (and Sandi’s back!! 🙂 )! For the moment, grab a cuppa something cozy and settle in for a spell.
We all worked with a color challenge filled with bright colors – colors that just called me to the Have a Cuppa suite of goodies in the Occasions catalog.
See? So, I decided to make a thank you card – I’m always needing one for something these days! – and hit the Cups & Kettle Framelits and the A Nice Cuppa (that’s awkward phrasing, isn’t it??) stamp set that I got all bundled up. Take a look-see:
Hey, y’all – welcome back. Glad that you could stop by on this Wednesday – Hawp Day! I have a confession to make to you. Yesterday I told you that I pretty much never run out of Pearl Basic Jewels. That was sort of a fib. I didn’t realize it was a fib until I went to make today’s card. When I got to the point where I needed to find my flower centers – they were pretty much begging to have Pearls in them! – I realized just how dire my circumstances had become.
Oh, I knew my supply was low – especially in the area of the tiniest of the pearls in a pack. I have none of those left. Nary a one! I have a smattering of medium sized ones and hooked-together straight strip ones. And tons of giant ones – cuz of how I seldom use that size.
So Monday – when I ordered the fringe scissors – when they were on sale – I grabbed a couple of Pearl Basic Jewel packs. Yes, of course I did, since they went on sale the very next day! 🙁 Not to say I won’t put in another order – I need those teeny tiny seed pearls! But, I hate missing a sale. I mean – I’m perfectly willing to spend $20 on pearl packs just cuz I can save $1.25 a pack. Aren’t you? 😉
Anywho – I decided to use the large pearls on this card – I hope they don’t look too awfully clunky to you! I used one of the new Annual Catalog DSPs – well, it was new last summer, anyway! – the Bohemian DSP. And I combined it with some flowers from the Botanical Builder Framelits and a greeting from the Greetings Thinlits. Take a look-see:
Good morning! It’s Tuesday and that means a new set of Weekly Deals. I see a couple of things that I need to order – how about you? Specifically – what a great time to replenish your stash of Boo-Boo-Hiders Pearl Basic Jewels? And I’ve been eye-ballin’ that Curvy Corner Trio Punch for a bit now – this may just be the time to pull the trigger! 🙂
Couple of things drawing to a rapid end…..
The Paper Pumpkin Special – where you can get a three month subscription for $55 (regularly $59.85). That’ll also get you an instant Sale-A-Bration goody for free. AND qualify you for my Ordering Special…
…which is also headed into its very last week!
Order $50 in product and I’m going to give you DOUBLE Peppermint Rewards Points! So – every $50 will get you FOUR peppermint points! When you get 16 peppermints, you’re going to get to pick any $40 worth of product(s) and I’ll ship to to you for free. Here’s more info on my Rewards Program.
But, in addition to the extra Peppermints, I’m also going to send you a MYSTERY GIFT. There’s no telling what that might be – so you’ll need to place that order to find out, won’t you? 😉 As always, I send a little sumpin-sumpin along to you as a thank you for ordering – something valued up to $8 that you get to pick!
Well, it’s Monday again. Funny how this day just keeps rolling around. One second it’s Friday night and the weekend seems like it’ll last forever…and the next, you’re sitting with a cat on your lap, balancing a laptop on a furry purring body, writing about Monday. Whaaaaaaaaat???
It was colder than a well-digger’s lunch bucket here today. Temps were in the 50’s but the wind’s just a blowin’ a gale! Brrrrrr!
I know – you click on this post each day just hoping and hoping for a weather update from Fayetteville, GA! 😉
So, even though it’s freezing outside, it’s also quite beautiful – partly cloudy with enough sun peeking thru to make it spectacular. Which means that making a card for Spring was just the right thing to do! I dove back into some of my not-so-brand-new stamp sets for this one…Circle of Spring gave me my focal point and sentiment, and the lovely Garden in Bloom contributed the oh-so-cute honey bee. Take a look-see:
Happy Sunday, y’all! Today. Was. Spectacular! It’s really trying to be Spring in the South – which means it’s going to be in the 30’s next week! But for today – the real harbingers of spring are springing! I’m talking about the Dogwood trees, of course!
They’re one of my very favorite trees – and they’re dotted all over our property. When they bloom, they look like those white fairy lights that folks put up in the trees in their yard. Only – we don’t have to put them up or pay for electricity! They’re just beautiful and I’m always hopeful to be home when they’re blooming – so….yeah! 🙂
Today’s card, as promised, is an Anniversary Card. Our friends celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary on Friday – so I wanted to send them a card. Okay – it’s a little late, but…I didn’t know it until late on Friday. So….
I thought the tandem bike in Pedal Pusher was a perfect focal point and I also wanted to use the Large Number Framelits. So I did – and added in a little Timeless Textures and Timeless Love! Take a look-see:
