Valentine Stamp Camp-Gift Card Holder

I am still thinking about our Valentine Stamp Camp which Susan and I are hosting on Saturday. This is the Gift Card Holder which we will be making. It uses that great Red Glimmer Paper which is in the Occasions Mini. I love the little girl on the front of the card. She is from the stamp set "Greeting Card Kids" I like that stamp set because it is a stamp set that can be used for ALL seasons and the kids in the set are so cute!

It is snowing here today! And snowing and snowing! I love snow! So I am a happy camper today. I will be in the kitchen all day today cooking. For some reason when it snows, I get the urge to make soups and I usually bake cakes. I don't know why, but that is what I do. So I am off now to cook up a couple batches of different soups. So whatever the weather is like where you are today, enjoy your day!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

This is the most wonderful time of the year for Stampin' Up customers and the reason is...It's SALE-A-BRATION!!! What that means, is if you purchase $50 worth of product, you may choose an item from this Sale-A-Bration Brochure for free. The Sale-A-Bration promotion starts today and continues until March 31.

If you are Hostess during this time period, you are able to choose an item from this brochure if your workshop is $300 or more. So if you are interested in having a workshop or you wish to place an order, please contact me. This is a great time to take advantage of this Stampin' Up promotion.

Valentine Stamp Camp-Letterpress Card

This is one of the cards that we will be making at the Valentine Stamp Camp. I wanted to demonstrate to everyone one of the great new products that Stampin' Up introduced in the Holiday Mini and is a carryover in the Occasions Mini. The Letterpress is a product that instead of Embossing the paper, "Debosses" the paper. It is a really cool product. There are a few tricks to using this product and my customers will learn and get the opportunity to use this product. This card is extremely simple but we wanted the customers to try the Letterpress, see how it works and not worry so much about working on a complicated card.

If you are interested in attending our Stamp Camp, please contact me. Today is the last day to sign up for the class. A reminder that the cost is $15 or FREE if you purchase $25 worth of product. It is -1 at my house this morning, so I hope that it is warmer where you are. Enjoy your day!

Valentine Stamp Camp-Pizza Box

While checking other stamping blogs, I saw that some people were stamping on Tea Light candles. I thought that it was just such a cute idea and decided to do it for Valentine's Day. I needed a container to put the candles in so that it would be a cute gift to give someone. I saw some boxes but I thought a Pizza Box would be a cute way to present the candles. So here is my version of a gift box and candles. If you would like to make this project plus 4 other projects, contact me because there is still room in our Valentine Stamp Camp on the 29th of this month. Go out and enjoy the day!

Valentine Stamp Camp

Susan and I are again joining forces to present to you our "Valentine Stamp Camp" We will be holding this event at Susan's house on Saurday, January 29th at 9 AM-Noon. We have 5 projects for you to work on. There is a Tag/Card, Hand Sanitizer Holder, Gift Card Holder, Letterpress Card and a Pizza Box Container filled with four stamped tealight candles. There is a gift for everyone you need to give to. These would make great Teacher's gifts, Day Care Staff, or anyone you need that little something for on Valentine's Day. The class cost is $15 or FREE with a $25 purchase of product at the Stamp Camp. If interested please contact me by January 24th. Please join us.

January Technique Classes

With everything going on with Leadership and my father, I know I have gotten a little bit behind in my blog posting. But here are two of the three cards that we will be working on in my technique classes this month. I did not post the third card yet because I decided to change it when I went to take the picture of it. The theme for January is "WINTER" which includes Valentine cards along with a wintery card. The techniques we are doing are Ruffled Ribbon, Rhinestone Brad Bow and Inlaid Embossing. There is still room for Saturday, so if you are interested please contact me.

Nashville Make & Takes, Prizes, and Friends

I got home 2 hours ago and I had to unwind a bit. It has been a whirlwind of information, change, classes,friendship, swaps and just plain fun! Here I am with my upline Kim and my sideline sisters Buffy and Susan. We are inside the hotel but we are in the Delta part of the hotel which looks like a southern town. It looks as though we are outside but we are not.

The next 2 pictures are pictures of only two of the Make & Takes that we worked on last night until 10:30 at night! The pin is made using our new Springtime Vintage fabric which is in the new Occasion Mini. The next photo is a card using "Clearly for You" stamp set also from the Occasion Mini. The projects that we made at Leadership were gorgeous this year. Not that they were not nice last year but I think Stampin' Up outdid themselves this year. I will post more later this week. The next two pictures are a look at some of the prizes we received there. We were surprised at the end of Leadership with the bundle containing a stamp set, fabric, buttons and a digital download from the Sale- A Bration Campaign. What a wonderful surprise from Shelli. Earlier in the day we received the Glimmer Paper, Glimmer Brads, and Glass Glitter bundle. The surprises yesterday never seemed to end! What a great day!

The last picture was taken after Leadership ended. We took this picture at the front of the stage. The theme this year was +one. More on that in the next couple of months. We had such a great time and I was sad to leave but I am also glad to be home with my family. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day today!
