Nov 6, 2012 | Christmas, Demonstrator |
Stampin’ Up! is giving everyone a glimpse of what demonstrators get in the mail every other month. Some of our Stampin’ Success articles will be made available to everyone. Here is what they have to say –
Like what you see?
This is just a small sampling of the magazine our demonstrators receive every other month.
Our bimonthly Stampin’ Success magazine is filled with project ideas, business ideas, advice, and recognition for our demonstrators. If you want to see more ideas call your demonstrator and plan a party. You can gather your friends for a girls’ night out. And if you want to receive the full magazine in the mail every other month she can help you join. Just ask.
At Stampin’ Up! we’re all about creativity. Try us out.
So here you go – this is a peek at the November/December 2012 issue – check out the Stampin’ Success Magazine HERE.
And here is a little project from Stampin’ Up! that I included in my November Newsletter –
Enjoy your day!
Nov 5, 2012 | My Digital Studio |
I have a couple of really quick My Digital Studio Projects –
This one is a 5×7 framed piece. I used a template that came in the Home for the Holidays ensemble. Printed it at home as a 5×7 image. Cut it out and put it in this frame. I punched out a silver glimmer star and added it to the glass and added some small rhinestones to the tops of the smaller trees. I also tied a piece of Very Vanilla seam binding around the frame.
It took less than 15 minutes to make this cute project.
This one is a little iron on project. I had a little shirt for my Build-a-Bear and I designed a quick little iron on piece – printed it on the Iron-on transfer paper and ironed-it on the front of the little shirt.
I also made another one for a baby onesie but have’t ironed it on yet. I’ll do that soon and post it too.
Remember today is the last day to download your free Digital Downloads from Stampin’ Up!. Even if you don’t have My Digital Studio you can still use these in other digital programs. Go to my website and in my online store there is a tab for free downloads – there are 3 of them – add them to your shopping cart and check out.
Have a good evening!
Nov 2, 2012 | My Digital Studio, Tags |
I made some quick tags in My Digital Studio using the free Digital download – Days in December. Each set of photos shows the front and back of the tag design.
Be sure to visit your demonstrator’s website and go to the online store by clicking SHOP NOW. Login to your account or create one. Then select Free Downloads and add all three to your shopping cart and check out. They will be added to your account for you to download and install when you are ready. You can use these with other applications besides My Digital Studio. But the new features in My Digital Studio 2 are awesome and your going to want to give it a try – which you can for Free for 30 days – so add that to your shopping cart if you need to. If you don’t have a demonstrator already – I’d be happy to be yours. My website is www.monika.stampinup.net so go there and start shopping.
I have had several people ask how I would print these tags. I would use the Stampin’ Up! professional print service and print them that way – they print double sided with a hole in the top corner to add ribbon or twine for hanging them on gifts. Stampin’ up has reduced the price of the printing and if you print in bulk it is even less. You can see the pricing on MyDigitalStudio.net.
Have a great weekend!
Nov 1, 2012 | Big Shot, Cards, Christmas, Create with Connie & Mary, Holiday catalog 2012 |
So how was Halloween? I was worried that there were no trick-or-treaters. When the boys were little we all went out around 6 and I thought that was what everyone still did. But no one was out at 6, or at 6:30 – it was 7 before I had my first two little trick-or-treaters. The rest sprinkled in here and there until about 8:30. No where near the number of kids we used to get. I think our end of the neighborhood doesn’t really have any little kids anymore – we have all lived in our homes for ever and our kids are either grown, in college, or well into high school. So I have candy left! Actually I gave out pretzels too and while my boys thought that was a bad idea – let me just say most of the kids were more excited about the pretzels than the candy – really!
So on to this weeks Create with Connie & Mary Thursday challenge! This week we have a cute sketch challenge. When I saw it with the three little elements on the front it made me think of the Merry Mini’s stamp set in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. So that is what I decided to use for my card.
Mine is a 4-1/4″ square card with a layer of Festival of Prints Designer Paper from the little pack in the Holiday catalog. If you want more ideas with the same stamp set be sure to see the cards that Mary created for the new Card “Create”ions class. Details are below.

Happy Halloween!
We made this SPOOKS scrapbook layout in my last scrapbook class – all ready for adding Halloween pictures. The layout idea is from a layout that Tiffany Bauer had on her blog.
I have a couple of kits available for sale too. All the cut pieces, punched pieces, and die cuts plus ribbon. The kit does not include stamps, ink, adhesive or stamped images. Kit price is $10 for local pickup or add shipping if it needs to be shipped to you.
Happy Halloween – the trick or treaters should be coming soon.
