Feb 8, 2018 | 2018 Occasions Catalog, 2018 Sale-A-Bration, Big Shot, Bingo |
I wanted to share a recap of my Bubble Over Bingo event at the end of January. It was so much fun! I had a full house with all 12 seats in my little classroom taken. Everyone had fun playing Bingo games and making their projects. I also made everyone a little table treat for when they arrived and a little thank you gift. Everyone had a goody bag with the Bubble Over stamp set, Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes and supplies for their projects. The prize winners also went home with additional goodies – like the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits Dies, card stock packs, ribbon, Bubbles & Fizz Designer Paper and more. Everybody went home with something fun. I hope you’ll join me the next time I have a Bingo event.
Here are some photos from the day:
Here is a close up of the little Bottle Cap Treats that were on the table for everyone. I actually found bottle cap candy to go in them.

And this was the little thank you treat everyone received – a Coke branded lip balm was inside each little bottle box.

Items that I used for these:

- Bottles & Bubbles Framelit dies
- Whisper White Baker’s Twine

They were fun to make. Everyone also made three different cards using the Bubbles & Fizz bundle of products. I’ll share those in another post since this one is getting long. The grand prize winner was Jacquie and she had enough Stampin’ Rewards to get the Brusho Crystal Color assortment, and a bundle from the Occasions catalog as her free items.
A fun time was had by all!

May 6, 2013 | Bingo, Retired List, Stamp, Scrap, & Create Retreat |
I love to play Bingo Stampin’ Up! Style! You can use the Bingo Stamp (it’s on the retiring list) or My Digital Studio to Create the Bingo card. And because it is so much fun I made sure that we included it as part of the Stamp, Scrap & Create Escape Retreat. During the day on Saturday everyone stamped their own Bingo Card using the Every Little Bit stamp set (also on the retiring list). And punched out markers for their board. Stamp each image only ONE time on your card.


On Saturday night – Tyler grilled burgers for us. I missed getting a picture of him – I wonder if anyone else took one.We had a good dinner before we played Bingo.

Then we played Bingo for prizes.

I use the stamps as the call pieces – I just drop them all down in my little SU trash bin.
After Bingo we went out to our campfire for smores – I’ll post those pictures tomorrow.
If you enjoy the Bingo idea be sure to get the stamps before they retire – there is also a Spooky Bingo Bits for Halloween and a Jolly Bingo Bits for Christmas. Get them before they are gone! I can order them for you or go to my website to place an order – www.monika.stampinup.net .

Feb 11, 2013 | Bingo, My Digital Studio, Valentine's Day |
Valentine Bingo – for Heart #11. This is actually an old project I made a couple of years ago. I thought I would share it again – it seems to being getting a lot of hits on my blog – it looks like someone has it linked under free valentine idea site.
I used My Digital Studio to create a Valentine’s Day Bingo game. I made a Bingo card for each of the boys and an extra one that I cut apart with all the pieces.
For the markers I punched hearts from Real Red card stock using the Small Heart punch.
In My Digital Studio I created an 8-1/2″ x 11″ photo album with one page that had four Bingo Cards on it. The Bingo card is a digital download. Then I went through all the stamp sets, embellishments and digital kits and selected different elements that were Valentine related to put in the squares. I resized any that were too big so they would fit in the square and used colors that were pinks, reds, and browns. I even used buttons and brads in some of the squares.
To make it easy I took an image, sized and colored it the way I wanted it and then copied it and positioned it in a different square on each of the Bingo Cards. I used the 4th card as the one I would cut the pieces apart for me to call while we played.
When I was done I just printed it out on my printer and cut the cards apart. This is what the My Digital Studio page looks like that I printed:

I love the Bingo card – both the My Digital Studio one and the actual stamp – it is fun to create Bingo cards to go with any theme that you need them too.
I hope you enjoy this Valentine themed Bingo game! I may have to make some for Easter this year. Have fun!

Apr 6, 2011 | Bingo, Cards, Occasions Mini 2011 |
I wanted to make a card using the Sew Suite stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog – but I was having trouble coming up with ideas. So instead I turned to my fellow demonstrators for inspiration. Checking Stampin’ Connection and looking through blogs until I found some ideas that caught my eye. This card today is an idea from Heather Klump. I liked the softness of her card. Here is mine –
I made a few minor changes from what the original card but the look is basically the same.
My Spring Bingo players – I found one more winner after yesterday’s post. It was Bethany.
Congratulations!
Bethany will get the Birthday Bakery stamp set.
That’s four winners so far. How about one more?
So how about one more piece today and we’ll see if that gets us the last winner….

If more than one person gets Bingo it will be the first person that sends me the email that gets the last prize. So be sure to check your cards and email me right away if you have Bingo. Good Luck!
Exciting news – I am registered for the Stampin’ Up! Convention in July! Early Bird registration opened today and I got on first thing and completed my registration. I have my flight and hotel room. I’m so excited to be going! And this year I’ll get to walk across the stage (assuming they continue that tradition – I sure hope so) for my 5th anniversary – yeah! And I’m going to work hard these next few months so maybe I can walk across for my annual sales too! I can’t wait to see my demonstrator friends in Utah!
