More Stampin'

Here are some pictures of cards using another set that we got FREE at Convention, Daydream Medalions, it is on pg 117 of the catalog  and the set has 5 medallions, 3 of them are quite large and they coordinate with the Big Shot floral frames framelits dies, which means NO CUTTING these medallions out by hand.  WHEW!   I know some of my favorite stampers are heaving a sigh of relief!

 Some rhinestone bling and stitched satin ribbon makes this card pop!

 Look how the die cuts out this medallion perfectly?  

 Here are several cards, each one uses some brads, or pearls in addition to punching out or using the framelits dies to "cut out" the medallions.

Here's a cute scrapbook page, using some new Incolors and some bling!

Next week I will share some samples using some stamp sets from the Holiday Mini....Mini HA! It is the same size pages as our catalog and has 39 pages chock full of upcoming holiday stamps, punches, Big Shot accessories and more!    Did you receive your Holiday Mini?   Contact me to receive yours.

Sharing Stampin' and Family

My Mom and her husband Ed came to Maryland today for our Annual Family Cookout this weekend.   First stop after searching for them at the airport (the guys that pushed them thru the airport in wheelchairs, took them to the upper deck Departures!!!!   It took me 20 minutes to find them after calling and my Mom kept saying "we're right at Delta..." Well, so was I, however I was down in the lower deck at the Arrivals where they should have been.......ANYWAY,   To Meet Rachel.    Rachel was getting fed peas when we got there, she saw us and gave us a big grin.  

She held onto her Minnie mouse sucking on Minnie's thumb....  She was happy to see us, but was soon ready for her nap and we headed to my house.


Here are some cards made using one of the stamp sets we received FREE at Convention, You're Amazing.  These cards were on one of the Display boards at Convention so I have no idea who made them.   But this stamp set is great for Men, Women or Children....   In this first picture are two cards on the right, they use the set Blue Ribbon and Take a Ticket wheel.   All three of these sets are in the 2012-2013 Catalog, pages 32 and 33.  The first card uses the Big Shot Square lattice embossing folder as well as the Big Shot Labels collection framelits and some embellishments, Midnight Muse 3/8" stitched satin ribbon and some brads to finish the card off.

 This next card uses a Big Shot embossing folder, Argyle and Big Shot Apothecary Accents framelits die.   Look closely and you see some paper piercing,  These are SO COOL.   The new Essentials Paper Piercing Pack has different templates for piercing that coordinates with some punches, edgelits and framelits and the grid is big, not tiny like the old mat pack, this one fits the size of our standard cards.   And I am 100% positive there are going to be more templates matching  more of our punches, edgelits and framelits....Also used are some vintage trinkets, brads that look like buttons.   Check them out on page 175 of the catalog.

                                        

That's all for now!   I will try and find some pictures of cards that use some of the other FREE sets we received at Convention.

We are getting some much needed rain here tonight, I just hope the wind isn't too strong to knock down the corn, tomatoes and other vegys we have planted.   I pray that other areas of the country get some rain too.



ENJOY!

Stampin' Up!'s Convention 2012

WOW!   Convention was great this year.    I say that every year, but it really is great and I have already started my savings for next year's convention.   I met some new friends and got to see some friends I have made across the country, all because of Stampin' Up!   We received lots of products FREE and also stamps, catalog, convention bag and more, included in the cost of convention!   There were swaps, lunches, dinners and lots of sharing!  Classes on just about everything Stampin' Up!.   Want to go with me next year?   

Stay tuned, August will be a Great Month to join the Stampin' Up! family, and I have some goodies for anyone joining my Team in August.   Have Questions?   Want to Learn more?   Just contact me, email or phone......   I don't have a Facebook stampin' business page yet, but I will soon.   AND maybe I will get a TWITTER account too!   Who said us old folks can't learn new tricks?

I am still unpacking and organizing my things from the convention, but I found my camera and will share some pictures with you.    AND as soon as I figure out my ipad and uploading photos from it to my blog here, I will have some more pictures for you.

This first picture was taken in the Gathering Place, where demonstrators gather....HAHAHA!!!   There are displays of all kinds, demonstrations of new products, tech support for MDS (My Digital Scrapbooking), cause they are coming out with MDS2 soon and if you are a digital scrapbooker, then this product is for you.   There is some free trials and I can help with a few questions......  OK, this picture is of me, Janet and my upline, Carol Taggart.   There is a online stampin' group that demonstrators can join and that is why we all have pink lanyards on, for the group, it's called SUDSOL.   Want to learn more, just give me a call, or email or even txt me.  

On the last day of Convention, Shelli spoke about the Ronald McDonald House Charities and how Stampin' Up! donates money every year to RMHC and they also designate a stamp set, and this year $3 from the sale of each stamp set, goes to the RMHC, in addition to demonstrators, like myself, go to local RMHouses, I go to the one in Baltimore on Lexington St and help wherever needed.   I hav\e been volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House in Baltimore for at least 5 yrs now and LOVE it.   ANYHOW....They gave all the demonstrators attending the convention, the RMHC stamp set for this year, Moving Forward, located on the inside of the back cover of the catalog, FREE!!!! These next few pictures are cards made with the set....

Aren't they cute?  !!!   This set is so versatile for all occasions, cards and projects for kids and adults too!  

For the Month of August, anyone purchasing this set from me, I will donate the proceeds to the RMHC in Baltimore.   To purchase this set from me, give me a call or send me a email and I will give you all the information.   If you just want to order it directly, you must go to my Stampin' Up! website, choose "shop now" button and follow the instructions.  The set is located on page 209 of the 2012-2013 catalog.   Have questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

More pictures and posts to follow soon, I Promise

THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL NEW CATTY LIFT OFF

Stampers,  THANK YOU for such a wonderful New Catalog/Open House.   It's fun to meet with friends and do some stamping.   By the end of the day, I started with a cold, by Sunday I was in bed sleeping, with fever and chills, I know I slept 20 hrs on Sunday.   Yesterday was much better and since it is 6am and I am up ready for work and typing a post to my blog.....Anyone who knows me, knows I must be better!!!

A few things:  

If you didn't get your new Catalog, contact me so that I can get it to you.

There have been blogs offering ribbon shares, DSP shares, and even new ink pad shares. 

Just to let you know, I offer all of those things, with a little difference:

DSP - I only split DSP by 2 people, that way each person gets 1 full 12 x 12 sheet from each pack.   The cost is a little bit more, but you get a full sheet, not just a 6x6 size or some have even been 4x6.

Ribbon - I will split ribbons with 2 or 3 people and you get a good amount, 5 or more yards of each color(S) you choose.  

and NEW INK PADS, yes if you want the full set, I would need 4 people to commit to $75 per month for 4 months (if you are a club member, this would not be included with your club orders).  One of those months you would be the hostess and receive hostess benefits.

Contact me if any of these "Shares" sparks your interest or you have any questions.
