New Goodies to Play With

Well, the new Stampin' Up! catalog went live at Noon MST on June 1, 2012. I placed my demo order that afternoon and got the box on Friday, June 8th. What did I get? Well first of all, Stampin' Up! has this amazing offer for demos. In the month of your birthday, you get to order 1 thing of your choice for an additional bonus off. So you get the regular demo discount of 20% and 15% bonus. It's set up so you get it off of the first item you order. So, make sure it's not an ink pad or something else that's under $10. I got some bonus cash this year so I splurged on myself (I almost never do that) and bought the new Big Shot die. It's the Typeset Alphabet Bigz and it comes with 4 die blocks. You get the whole alphabet, numbers 0-9, and 1 symbol, the "&". They are the perfect size for all sorts of things. I took this picture so you can see the size and see my new In Color (2012-2014) markers. The cuts are the same height as the cap from our markers. Anyway, you can see them in the new catalog on page 192. The item # is: 127553 and the price you get them for is $89.95 if you shop through me or my Stampin' Up! website.  The new In Colors are: Summer Starfruit (yes, it's the same color as a starfruit), Primrose Petals (a new pink), Raspberry Ripple (a dark pink-red), Gumball Green (matches nicely with Cherry Cobbler), and Midnight Muse (the same shade as American flag blue- very nice). Well, I also got a bunch of stamp sets (some of them for free- ask me how) and I'm off to put those together. See you soon!


Thanks for stopping by!

VC_Rocks Blog Hop- Any size card

Image
Thanks for dropping by. I'm the 4th stop in the blog hop for VC Rocks 2012. The theme is Any size card. If my blog is your first stop, you're going to want to go see   Mary Jo Price-Williams' blog   to see the ones before me. You can also go to  VC_ Rocks blog  to get the whole list of participating blogs. As my regulars know, I love 3 x 3 cards. They're my favorite thing to tuck into a pocket, a lunch, into the envelope with the hostess pack, into a customer order, to use as a gift tag, etc. They are super simple to make. All you need is a stamp, ink, and some cardstock. Mostly I use 1 stamp set and a sentiment. I can write a short note on the inside or write it on a post-it so that it can be shared with another person or 2. I chose a new stamp set, Serene Silhouettes (page 75 of the new 2012-2013 catalog), to use on these cards. Stamps: Serene Silhouettes, Tea Shoppe Ink: Gumball Green, Primrose Petals (marker), Basic Black Paper: Daffodil Delight, Choco

VC_rocks Blog hop- Hostess Gifts and other non-card projects

Image
I'm starting this early as I'll be away from my computer for the weekend. I'm headed out of town to see my friend's son get married. So I'm setting up my part of the blog hop early. However, the rest of the people will have theirs up on Saturday and Sunday. If you started the blog at our main site, you came from  here If you're following along, you came from Barb Furlong's  blog, located here. Hostesses are wonderful. I like to spoil mine. Each one gets a gift that I make for them right at their party. Sometimes I make it in advance so it's ready when I arrive. Here's something I make for a hostess with younger children. The stamp is retired but the kids love this and their moms do as well Here's a tealight holder that I made with the Flower Folds die and the Big Shot. I cut up a disposable foil pan for it. It sure looks better than the pan. Lastly, I like to tuck a card into the bag with her stuff. I really like to make these cu

VC_Rocks Blog Hop- Punches and Big Shot

Image
This is the final blog hop for the summer of VC_Rocks. We're featuring punches, Simply Scored and Big Shot fun. If you're following the hop you came from Carey Roger's Blog . Didn't you like her card made with the framelit? Too cute! If you missed the start of the hop, you can get a complete list at the  VC_rocks blog I always loved our punches. I love how it's easy to punch out a stamped image and then center it on a matte. Maybe you want to punch the matte too. Anyway. I own almost all of our current punches and have tons of retired ones as well. I have so many that I keep them in 3 locations. I have some in a shoe holder on the back of my craft room door, some more on a rail on the wall and still others in a desk drawer. Here's some pics of my scattered punch storage. I used to have them all in the shoe holders but I got so many that the holders fell down, the punches flew everywhere and it created a big mess. So don't overload your
