I NEED TO SEND OUT A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING:

   First, TO ALL THAT HAVE PLACED ORDERS WITH ME

   Second, TO ALL THAT COME TO MY CLASSES

   Lastly, TO ALL THOSE THAT HOST CLASSES/WORKSHOPS WITH ME (Katie!)

Without you all I would not be able to keep doing what I love…and let me tell you I really LOVE WHAT I DO with Stampin’ Up! 

I would love to bring back some things that we as demonstrators would do all the time and that is bringing back Hosting Parties!  See below for how this works, and if you are interested or want more information, send me an email.  They are a lot of fun especially for GIRLS NIGHT OUT because Paint Nite is soo overrated, lol!  Oh and no need to be creative or have creative friends, anyone can take part!

HOW TO BE A HOST (IT’S EASY!)

STEP 1: Tell me you want to host a party. (I’ll be excited. Trust me!)

STEP 2: Let’s set a date and make a plan.

Want to hold a party in your home? What kind of project would you like to create? Many hosts prefer to make cards, but we can also have fun putting together gift packaging, tags, scrapbook pages, and more. Like pre-designed kits? In addition to our Paper Pumpkin kits, Stampin’ Up! catalogs always feature kits with cards and projects that are precut and ready to assemble.
Just tell me what works for you. I can walk you through the options and we’ll create your party plan together!

STEP 3: Invite your friends.

I would be happy to help you decide how to get the word out and what to say. Use whatever method works best for you: postcards, social media, email, calls, or texts.

STEP 4: Get the party started!

Here’s the best part. Have fun with your guests making beautiful projects.

STEP 5: Enjoy your rewards.

As a host you can earn free products, get discounts, and order exclusive products (only available for our hosts) with our Stampin’ Rewards program. For example, if your party sales are $150, you’ll have $15 to spend on whatever you’d like. It’s Stampin’ Up!’s way of saying thank you.

STEP 6: Keep crafting

If you had fun, why not start planning your next party right away? Or—if you’d like to enjoy even more benefits—purchase a Starter Kit to sign up as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. You can even use your Stampin’ Rewards to help you purchase your kit.

 
NEW ONLINE EXCLUSIVES Get ready for some NEW Online Exclusives, the future of shopping. And a great opportunity for new experiences! You won’t find these products in any catalog, which means we can keep up with the times and release new items regularly to match the times.  Ordering begins November 7^th!  See attached PDF for some of the items that will be available…but keep in mind there will be a lot more!

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT ACTIONS

We also recently became aware that Dollar Tree is selling stamp sets created using our copyrighted artwork in their retail shops in the United States and Canada, and we have commenced aggressive legal action to stop them from selling these counterfeit products.

We are grateful for your ongoing help in identifying counterfeit products, including those found at Dollar Tree or any other physical retail location, and reporting them to us at infringements@stampinup.com.

Stampin Friends October 2023 Blog Hop - Thankful for You

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop!

So sad that there is only one more month of hoping after this month!  I’ve had an incredible journey and hope you have too.  With that said, this month is about being Thankful and I am especially Thankful for You!

For my project this month I decided to work out of the box.  Every month I select a stamp set or bundle (sometimes the same bundle) as my focus, this month I went with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and September’s Paper Pumpkin.

So…if you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Steph’s Blog. Be sure to read through my Blog, comment below and continue to Barb’s Blog. If you get lost along the way, no worries, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog. ENJOY!

 

MATERIALS NEEDED

Stamp Sets: September Paper Pumpkin

Paper: Very Vanilla: 5 ½” x 8 ¼”, scored at 4 ¼”, card base; 3 7/8 x 5 1/8”; scraps

Copper Clay: 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”

All About Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP): 4 ¼” x 1/2”

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie, Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Momento Black

Tools/Accessories: Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Blending Brushes. The Gems and Punch used are retired, but can be substituted with Natural Adhesived Back Sequins and Lasting Label Punch.

I am not sure how many people have tried using Stampin’ Up!’s decorative masks, but if YOU haven’t boy are you missing out!!  I tried these in a current class and my guests were amazed by their versatility and ease of use!  In my class we made a total of three cards, using different techniques.  The first technique used one mask and a couple of color inks.  The second technique was also using one mask but with shimmer paste.  Lastly, the final technique and the one I will showcase on this blog, used four layering masks.  With this, each mask adds another layer to make a complete image. I will add pictures to the end of the blog of the other two cards.

INSTRUCTIONS:

In the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, there are four mask that make up sunflowers.  Each mask is numbered and should be used in order.  The cool thing about these masks, there is also a notch where the number is.  The mask is made this way so that you know how to align all the masks as you are building the image.

Just an FYI, the other three masks do not have notches, these are meant to be used by themselves.

 

1. For the first mask, I put a piece repositionable tape on my grid paper and placed my 3 7/8” x 5 3/8” very vanilla card stock down.  I then layed mask #1 down and found the position I liked best.  When the mask is down, I traced the notch next to the number on the grid paper.  Now I will line up the other mask in the same position (easy peasy). For this mask, using a blending brush, pick up some of the daffodil delight colored ink and rub in the open spaces of the masks.  The more times you go over the same spot, the darker the color gets.  So with one ink you can achieve different shades.
2. The second mask was the leaves.  Using the same technique as the previous step fill in the open spaces first with old olive ink and then I gave it some shading with mossy meadow.
3. The thirds mask is the center of the sunflower.  I used pecan pie ink for this.
4. The fourth mask is also the center of the sunflower, but it has more detail.  For this, I used copper clay ink.
5. I then ran this piece of card stock through the Stampin and Emboss machine using the timber 3D embossing folder. To bring out more of the detail, I used a dauber and brumb cake ink and lightly ran it over the entire card.
6. I added a thin strip of All About Autumn DSP above the middle mark of the card.
7. My sentiment and pumpkin image came from September’s Paper Pumpkin.  For this I used memento black ink, along with crushed curry for the pumpkin and copper clay for the stem.
8. The card gets put together by first adding the layer of copper clay with adhesive.  I also attached the sunflower piece and strip of DSP with adhesive.  The sentiment however, is added to the card front with dimensionals.
9. Lastly, I added some gems.

So, there you have it, my “Thankful for You” card!  I hope you enjoyed this month’s blog post!!  Comments of any kind (well hopefully nice ones, lol) are greatly appreciated.  When you are done be sure to hop on over to the next blogger, Barb, on the list!

See you next month!     

 

 

 

 

 

Stampin Friends September 2023 Blog Hop - Say it with Sentiments

 

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop!

Oh wow, another month has gone by, and we are getting closer to the hectic Holiday season here in the states.  But before I switch gears to Holiday cards, I decided to focus this month’s hop on something all us crafters are always thinking about… “Life is better when you’re crafting.” 

 

Our September hop focuses on “Saying it with Sentiments”.  If I live by one sentiment it definitely is the one I chose for this hop, Life is better when you’re crafting! Actually, all the sentiments in this stamp set (Crafting with You) are spot on!  The others are “with Love”;  “You inspire me” and “sending you a handmade Hug”.

If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Jo’s Blog. Be sure to read through my Blog, comment below and continue to Maureen’s Blog. If you get lost along the way, no worries, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog. ENJOY!

 

 

 

MATERIALS NEEDED

Stamp Sets: Crafting with You

Paper: Boho Blue: 5 ½” x 8 ¼”, scored at 4 ¼”, card base; 2 ½” x 3 ¾”; scraps

Night of Navy: 4” x 5 ¼”; 5 ¼” x 3/8”, scraps

Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (DSP): 3 ¾” x 5”

Basic White: Scraps for stamping

Crumb Cake: scraps

Ink: Night of Navy, Boho Blue, Basic Gray, Crumb Cake and Night of Navy markers

Tools/Accessories: Crafting with you Dies; Scalloped Contours Dies; Photo Collage Pop-up die

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.   Today’s card I started with a base of boho blue cardstock, layered with a 4” x 5 ¼ ” piece of night of navy cardstock. Then layered with a piece of Countryside Inn DSP.

2.   I then added a narrow strip of night of navy cardstock to the card front on the left hand side. I also die cut a scallop frame from Scalloped Contours dies out of boho blue card stock.

3.   Next, I stamped every image in the stamp set. I also die cut every image in the Crafting with you stamp die set.  For this I tried to stay with the colors that coordinate with countryside inn dsp.

4.   To finish off the card front, I stamped the easel and believe it or not, I did cut up a sentiment die!!!! 

Now, let’s get to the fun part, the inside of the card.  For this, I found a mechanism that would create a pop-up collage.

1.   Die cut and assemble the mechanism per video instructions.  Then all you need to do is attach all of the pieces to the flaps and “arms”.  This was such a fun project I cant wait to do more!

 

So, there you have it, my “Say it with a sentiment” card!  I hope you enjoyed this month’s blog post!!  Comments of any kind (well hopefully nice ones, lol) are greatly appreciated.  When you are done be sure to hop on over to the next blogger, Maureens on the list!

See you next month!     

 

Here's a short video on how the card opens up, enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

Stampin Friends August 2023 Blog Hop - All About the Paper

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop!

It is mid-August which means Christmas is ONLY four months away, just thought you needed a heads up, lol.  Although I did not make any Holiday projects for this hop, you can easily substitute Holiday paper for the projects.  

Our August blog hop is “All About the Paper”.  With so many paper designs Stampin’ Up! releases it is very difficult to not become a paper hoarder!  Raise your hand if you have stacks and stacks of patterned paper still wrapped tightly in their packaging!  Yup, guilty here as well.  It is just so pretty that I don’t want to “waste” it!  You’ll notice I used similar paper in a previous Blog Hop, that is because I have made it a rule to use what I do have and haven’t purchased to many ‘NEW” papers with this new catalog.  This was also a great way to show how versatile our papers are

If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Steph’s Blog. Be sure to read through my Blog, comment below and continue to Jo’s Blog. If you get lost along the way, no worries, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog. ENJOY! 

MATERIALS NEEDEDStamp Sets: Crafting with You
Paper:
CARD: Petal Pink (5 ½” x 8 ¼”), scored at 4 ¼”)(card base)
CARD: Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper (DSP) - (3: 1 ¾” x 1 ¾”); (2: 1 ½” x 1 ½”)
CARD: All Together DSP (retired) (1: 1 ½” x 1 ½”)
ORIGAMI: (7 ½” x 7 ½”)
CARD: Basic White (3 ¾” x 5”); (Scraps for stamping)
CARD: Basic Black (4” x 5 ¼”);
Ink:
Momento Black and Basic Gray
Tools/Accessories: Crafting with you Dies; Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder

INSTRUCTIONS

1.   Today’s card I started with a base of petal pink cardstock, layered with a 4” x 5 ¼ ” piece of basic black cardstock.

2.   The next layer is a piece of 3 ¾” x 5” piece of basic white cardstock.  I stamped the sentimate randomly in momento black ink and then embossed it with Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.

3.   I cut three, 1 ¾” squares out of Les Shoppes DSP paper and three more 1 ½” squares out of a different pattern.  I adhered them on top of each other and placed them on the card with dimensionals.

4.   To finish off the card, I stamp the image of the Stampin’ Cut & Embossing Machine along with the artist tools on basic white cardstock.  I used colored pencil to color them in with.  These were die cut out and adhered to the card front.

                  

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 For my 3D project I made an origami “box” to hold a succulent plant.  All you need for this a piece of 7 ½” x 7 ½” piece of DSP. We learned how to make these at my May Day Craft Celebration.  After I made the box, I placed a small dessert plate that I found at the Dollar Tree in the center.  This way you can water your succulent without ruining your holder. You can find a very helpful video here https://youtu.be/QOBgDGevpos, however below are screen shots from the video that shows how to fold your paper.

 So there you have it, my All About Paper projects!  I hope you enjoyed this month’s blog post and maybe you found a new papercraft to pursue!!  Comments of any kind (well hopefully nice ones, lol) are greatly appreciated.  When you are done be sure to hop on over to the next blogger, Jo on the list!
