Stampin Bingo Night!

Contact me to sign up for this super fun night by Jan 17th!

Reserve your Stamparatus by December 30th!

NEW Stamparatus Coming In 2018!
The results are in! The first Stamparatus reservation window reached its maximum number of reservations in just 15 minutes, which provided us with some very important information: You LOVE this new stamping tool! We couldn't be more thrilled; in fact, your response was so amazing that we've decided to make some important adjustments to the reservation process.

 The NEW Stamparatus is certain to be the must-have stamping tool for 2018!  If you want an easy way to get perfect stamp placement, you will LOVE this amazing product!  There are other brands out there offering similar products, but the Stamparatus combines all of the top benefits and improves on them!  It will be a breeze to create perfectly positioned images, to quickly stamp multiple projects, to easily stamp multi-step images, and to re-stamp images that need a little more ink. Once you try it, you won't know how you stamped without it!

My Favorite Stamparatus Features:

• Two removable & reversible plates give you the ability to stamp 2-step, 3-step or 4-step images quickly and accurately, over & over!
• Grid lines on the base and on the plates help you line up stamps perfectly!
• Two open sides accommodate any size of card stock!
• Can be used with both clear mount and photopolymer style stamps!
• Strong & slim bar magnets help hold your paper in place, and they store on the bottom!
• Only $49.00!
• RESERVE Your Stamparatus through December 30th—
  You'll be able to reserve the NEW Stamparatus positioning tool beginning on December 5th. The second reservation window will remain open from December 5-30; however, during this reservation period SU! will take as many orders as they receive (yay!) and not close the window until December 30. So whether the total number of reservations is 100 or 100,000, the window will stay open!
   

  Please note the following changes:

   

  • Beginning March 19, we will ship Stamparatuses in the order the reservations were received (first in, first out) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in our warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the December 5-30 window will ship on March 19 (as was previously announced).
  • Because we are not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, we will not offer a third window. This is the last chance for you to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.

   

  Please note what has not changed:

  • If you reserved one stamping tool during the first reservation period, that number will not change; you will still receive the same number you reserved.
  • If you reserved a stamping tool during the first reservation period, you may still order during the second window.
  • The reservation window will open at 2:00 PM MT (3PM CT) on December 5. 

  I can't wait for you to get your hands on your very own Stamparatus and look forward to seeing the projects you'll make with this incredible stamping tool. Look for additional details on the Stamparatus product page as the second reservation window approaches.
   

How Does The Reservation Process Work?  Through Dec 30th, you'll be able to reserve your Stamparatus at my Online Store.  You will see a reservation link on the Stamparatus product page.  You'll need a customer account and a credit card number for your reservation, but your card will not be charged until the product ships next year.  Once it becomes available, you will be asked to go back into your account to complete your order.  At that time, you'll be able to add other products to your order.  When you finalize your order, you'll also be able to earn Stampin' Rewards, add a Host Code, and/or qualify for Sale-a-Bration promotional items that will be available from Jan 3 through March 31.  See complete details: Stamparatus FAQs PDF.

Quick and easy Halloween treats!

Do you like dressing up your candy for Halloween too? Then check out these cute ideas!

 They all use items for the Spooky Night Bundle, and a few extra things like Gusseted Bags and Treat Tubes.

 This one here used a 6"x 6" piece of Spooky Night DSP, Vintage Crocheted Trim, Black Rhinestones, 2" Circle Punch, Everyday Label Punch, Some Pumpkin Pie and Very Vanilla cardstock, and Pumpkin Pie and Memento Black ink. It took next to no time and can hold a pack of Chiklets inside.

 You can't go wrong with a little box full of treats at your Halloween party! This is made with a strip of Spooky Night DSP wrapped around a box made from Pumpkin Pie cardstock, with the pumpkins cut directly from another sheet of DSP from the same pack. You can cut them with your Paper Snips or the Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits Dies. A Gusseted Bag filled with Candy Corn and tied of with some Pumpkin Pie Stitched Ribbon sits inside.

 This one is the cat's meow! It's just a 3"x 6" piece of Spooky Night DSP folded at 1 1/2" at the top stapled to a partially filled Gusseted Bag. I wrapped some Vintage Crocheted Trim around it and tied it in a knot to cover the staples. The cat is stamped from the Spooky Cat stamp set onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock, and punched with the cat punch. The Trick or Treat is stamped on a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and the end are just trimmed with scissors. The cat and greeting are both popped up with Dimensionals.

This one is the easiest and most fun! I filled a Treat Tube with Reece's Pieces, then used the Everyday Label Punch with some Spooky Night DSP to make the base for my tag. I punched a little hole near the top to be able to tie it on. Then I stamped the greeting in Pumpkin  Pie ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it with a 1" Circle Punch. There is a Basic Black 1 1/4" circle punched out too. I put a little Black Rhinestone on there and tied to to my Treat Tube with some Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine.

Here is a complete list of all of the items I used on these treats. A video tutorial for each one will post within the next two weeks, so be sure to check back here, or follow me on YouTube to see them all!

Harry Potter inspired Patronus Card

Hey there! I just had to share this card with you. I was playing with the stamp set Carols of Christmas and had a brain wave. Like, a knock you out of your seat idea!

That little deer looks like a Patronus!

So, I played around with some watercoloring with Pool Party and Night of Navy ink on Watercolor Paper to get the color right, and heat embossed the deer and stars with White Embossing Powder to make it a bold, crisp white.

The "Always" sentiment is made with the Brushwork Alphabet stamp set. After stamping it, I brushed over it with the Aqua Painter to blur the letters a little, then cut it with the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies. The Silver Glimmer Paper just finished off the whole look. I just love how it turned out, and I hope it adds a bit of magic to your day.

Stampin' Write Marker Insert for Clear Case

I have recently cleaned up, and reorganized, my stamping studio to get ready for the new Stampin' Up! year. As I was doing that, I realized that the bag I was storing my Stampin' Write Markers in just wasn't working for me. So, I put them in our Clear Mount Stamp Cases, which are just $6 for the 4 of them. Now they are grouped together by color family, easy to get to, and take up much less space than in that bulky bag. I also made inserts to put inside the case to keep track of what colors are inside. And you can have them too! I have a link including all 4 color collections. They are ready for you to print, cut, insert, and done!

Cutting Tips: Cut along the INSIDE of the black cutting marks for the best fit.

Enjoy the inserts!

Happy Stamping,

Pink Ruffled Card with Just Add Text & Flower Shoppe Stamp Sets

We made this card in my monthly card class, and I have to say, I love the New Ruffles Embossing Folder! It is to pretty! One this I noticed when using it was that the ruffles look right if you use the folder upside down, with the fold (or hinge) of the folder on the bottom. And with it being a Dynamic Textured Impressions folder, you only need to use one cutting plate when running it through the Big Shot.

Powder Pink is such a pretty pink, that I decided to make it the feature color on this card and only pair it with Very Vanilla. The Clear Faceted Gems add just the right amount of bling to the centers of the Flower Shoppe flowers.

Here is a video tutorial of how I made this card, and a list of supplies used listed below the video.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Rustic Carols of Christmas Card

I just love this card! I had such a good time making it for my team to make at our monthly meeting. Our monthly meetings have to be one of my favorite events each month. I love getting together with my stamping friends to stamp and share what we've done throughout the month, and show them ways to grow their stamping!

Can you see the bit of sponging around the greeting and the loops of Copper Thread? I love the subtle little touches like that.


And a video on how I made it. There is a supply list below the video, so be sure to check that out too. You can get any of those supplies, or anything else you might need, through my online store just by clicking on the image of the item.

Happy Stamping!

Carols of Christmas card in Night of Navy

At my team meeting we always make projects using new or upcoming products, and this month was no different! We made 4 cards, and this was one of them.

I loved the glitz of the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and Silver Ribbon combined with the Night of Navy cardstock. The greeting is so bold you don't really need much around it to make a great card!

Here is a video showing how I made it.

And here are the supplies I used:
