MAPLE LEAVES AND PUMPKINS

HEY BLOGGIES,

We had such a wonderful card club this week.  The Magnificent Maple single leaf stamp was the spotlight of our club.  Who doesn't LOVE fall leaves!!  AND on one card we also used the BEST OF AUTUMN stamp set.  AN AWESOME SET.

I had such a wonderful time that I have still been stamping cards long after the class is all over.  I am on a roll for sure!!

Here is a card I would like to share with you:

 Very vanilla and black always go well together.  Some leaves stamped off first for the background.

 Colored only the pumpkins and leaves to spotlight them.


Another look at the finished card.  Thanks for visiting.

DON'T FORGET IF YOU PURCHASE $40 OF SUPPLIES FROM ME I HAVE A SPECIAL FREE STAMP SET FOR YOU FROM MY STASH.  As soon as I get notified of your purchase I will contact you to find out which set you want me to mail to you!!  See POST HERE.

FALLING LEAVES....CHILL IN THE AIR...

HEY BLOGGIES,



Aren't these leaves beautifully colorful like in real life?!!  I am loving cajun craze, crushed curry and pumpkin pie for fall colors.

 Here is a closeup of two of the leaves.  I used the BEST OF AUTUMN stamp set and sponged the inks


A simple pumpkin pie satin ribbon tied in a simple knot and this card is finished and ready to send.

Thanks for stopping by.

ORNAMENT KEEPSAKES CHRISTMAS CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

Did you know that there are several Christmas sets and even dies that are NOT in the current catalog but they are still for sale??!!  I KNOW - WHY is the same thought on my mind too!!  Click HERE to see them and to order them too!! They care called 'ON LINE ONLY STAMPS'.

I used one of these sets and it's coordinating dies: ORNAMENT KEEPSAKES STAMP SET and HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS FRAMELITS DIES.

AND GUESS WHAT??!!  THEY ARE 25% OFF UNTIL OCTOBER 28TH!!

ITEM 128048
Ornament Keepsakes
Wood-Mount $34.95 SALE $26.21 

ITEM 128051
Ornament Keepsakes
Clear-Mount $25.95 SALE $19.46 

 I used the Expressions Thinlits Dies that are in the Holiday Catalog for the "MERRY" sentiment. (Love and Thankful also come in this set of thinlits).  I drew a shadow with my Smoky Slate marker to make sure the merry stands out well.

 Isn't this an awesome card shape?  It is a fancy look but is really simple to create!!  The ornaments are cut out with their matching die I mentioned above and two are glued together to make them stand out when the card is opened.


In the very center of the card, I put smoky slate and very vanilla for your note, signature, etc. when you send this card. Of course, you can stamp something else if you want to in this same space.

I hope you enjoyed this Christmas card.  We are making this card and several others in my upcoming Christmas Stamp-a-Stack.  If you are interested in joining this class, please shoot me an email and I will send you all the details.

Thanks for stopping by!!  Y'all come back now, ya' hear?

ONLY THREE DAYS LEFT FOR THE $25 JOINING FEE SPECIAL -- HURRY!!

I’ve had a number of people asking questions about the $25 Starter Kit special and since there are only days left (this offer ends Monday, Oct 21st), I thought I would answer a few questions here on the blog.
  1. Why would I want to be a demonstrator?
    My question is… why wouldn’t you? :)
    But seriously, if you love crafting…. love sharing ideas and inspiration with others (even if it inspiration you found somewhere else!)… and/or just love building your Stampin’ Up! collection of supplies, this is a great fit for you.  When you are a demonstrator, you get discounts on everything you buy, commission off anything anyone else buys, and you are instantly brought in to the community that is Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.  There is not only creative support and idea sharing, but there is also a feeling of family where we share and support each other in our lives.  It is a way to earn some extra money (whether to help pay for more supplies, or to help pay a family bill) and gain new friends as you share your love of creating with others in classes and workshops.  Plus, you run your business the way you want to… push hard or just relax and enjoy the benefits.  See more of the benefits here.
     
  2. Don’t I have to do a bunch of selling?Nope!
    First off, whether you are looking to do this as a business, to feed your own hobby, or just to get the perks personally and you don’t want to sell to anyone else, you have over 5 months to try it out!  Stampin’ Up! gives you through then end of the first full quarter to make the minimums to keep getting all the perks.  So, that means you have until March 31st to sell or buy your first $300 in products.  And keep in mind, that is the retail price… anything you buy, you get at least 20% off.
    There are lots of specials and promotions to earn free stamp sets and cash if you do decide to sell to your friends and family, but no obligation to do so.
  3. What do I get in the starter kit?
    This special is giving you some basics and access to all the demonstrator resources for only $25.  The kit itself includes:
    ** $25 – $26.95 in product of your choice
    ** Business supplies including catalogs, order forms, invitation post cards, and more
    ** And instant access to the demonstrator website, and me as a resource. :)
  4. Is there any information or support for me after I sign up?  
  5. Heck Ya!There is TONS of support and information for you after you sign up including 
  6. **the demonstrator website,
    **demo-only forums and galleries on Stampin’ Connection,
    **the bi-monthly Stampin’ Success, online demo-only groups,
    **our Fun n’ Crafty team facebook group,
    **monthly team meetings in person and via web-conference calls
    **and of course, me!  I’m always here to help and cheer you on!
  7. Ok, I think I’m ready, now what?Woo hoo!  I’m excited for you.  All you need to do now is go to the online form to enter your information and select your goodies for your starter kit!  Then watch for a WELCOME email from ME welcoming you to our FAMILY.
