Jan 21, 2015 | Cards, class |
My monthly Card Maker’s Class is this Friday – January 23, 2015. I offer the class twice – once at 10:00 am and then again at 7:00 pm. If you wanted you could even come to both time slots. This is a great class for any level of stamper from a brand-new never stamped before or made a card in my life person to someone that has a craft room full of supplies and makes cards all the time. I hold it towards the end of the month so that you can prepare for the upcoming month. Take a minute to make yourself a list of what kind of cards you may need – next month is February – so that includes Valentine’s Day. Are there any birthday’s, anniversary, do you have invitations to any showers, what about thank you notes or do you have a friend that needs a thinking of you card or just a hello? Come to class with a list and then you’ll know what cards you need and you can create beautiful hand made cards for everyone on your list.
The way I have this class set up is that you get to work at your own pace on the cards that you want to make. I’ll have about a dozen different choices for you and you can make one or more of the ones you want. The class fee is $15 which includes 6 cards plus the envelopes. If time permits you can make additional cards for $2 each. Cards rotate in and out each month and typically stay for more than just one month. Bring your own basic adhesive – like Stampin’ Up! Snail or the multi-purpose glue. I also have some here you can purchase including refills for your snail. If the card needs anything special like glue dots or dimensionals I have those in the box with the card.
Here is an example of one of the cards you can choose from this month.
Plus you will have some Valentine choices too. I hope you will join me. You can RSVP on my website by Thursday night – just click on the event you want to attend and select the RSVP button. I hope to see you on Friday.

I posted a picture of these card parts on my Facebook Business page last month –
My laptop is giving me fits and everything is taking forever to do – so I’m going to keep this brief and try to add to the post later.
Here is the finished card:
It’s really pretty in person. We will be making this at a future Stamper’s Club meeting. More details out on that soon.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Jan 14, 2015 | Demonstrator, Sale-A-Bration 2015 |
One of the new products that I really liked from the Holiday Catalog were the Tiny Treat Boxes. They are big enough to put a fun treat in but not so big that you have to put too much in it for it to look full. And I was so excited to see that they were still available in the new Occasions Catalog!
I used them last month to make little treats for my downline, sidelines and friends that came to the Stampin’ Up! Catalog Kickoff event. I filled them with a little treat and decorated them with a piece of Designer Paper, ribbon and a cute tag. I forgot to take a picture before the event so this one was taken inside the restaurant where we met for dinner – it wasn’t the best lighting.
The kickoff event was a lot of fun. They showed a live streaming of the Stampin’ Up! staff at the movie theater so that everyone all over the country could see the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration catalogs at the same time. They even had prize patrol! And then an all attendee give away! I didn’t win a prize patrol but several of my friends did. Actually most of the people that rode in my car were winners – Becky, Beth, Linda and Ginny won – and so did Jan.
I’m hoping that SU does this same type of event for the new annual catalog when it comes out later this year. It’s a demonstrator only event – and if you want to be part of it then be sure to join my team. Joining right now during Sale-A-Bration will get you additional rewards – the starter kit is $99 – which includes $125 worth of product plus during Sale-A-Bration you get to choose between two FREE product options:

If you follow my business Facebook Page you may have seen a photo I posted a couple of weeks ago that looked like this.
These are the parts for a swap card that I was working on. I’m in a group that swaps with every new catalog. We each design a card and make as many as are in the swap. Then we mail them all to the coordinator and she sorts them for us and mails everyone back a set that includes all the different cards. It’s fun to see all the different ideas that everyone comes up with and gives me a bunch of samples to put out at my classes. So are you ready to see my card creation from the parts above?
I thought it was a sweet little card for someone moving into a new house or even just some newlyweds. I love that the little house stamp fits inside the arrow of the What’s Up punch! And you can add the little row of hearts to the house if you want – it is a separate stamp in the set. I used Blendabilities Markers to color the house. Did you know you can choose the Blendabilities Markers for FREE during Sale-A-Bration. And this stamp set is also a free choice and so is the Designer Paper that I used. Below is a full list of all the supplies.
