Simply Stamp Time

NEXT WEEK!  And believe it or not I have the projects all planned?  What is this world coming to?  I did make & takes and have projects planned the week before an event?  WOW!  I guess I might be finally learning something after 20 years!  Yes, it is still hard to believe that I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for 20 years!  Here is a stack of all the catalogs since I began!

Yes, those skinny ones on the right are catalogs!  I am still amazed at how far Stampin' Up! has come.  At my last INKERBELLES! Get Together at my house. (For those of you new to Stampin' Up! Lingo - INKERBELLES! Is the my downline name.)  So every quarter I have a get together for my local Downline and they come do make & takes, (no I don't make those either, I just plan them and they are usually awesome!) we go over business matters, recognize achievements and basically have a good time.  Here are a couple of the make & takes from the get together in January which was focused on the Occasions Mini and Sale-A-Bration.

This is one of the cards they made.  They got to choose which color combination to make it in.  The new cool Labels Framelits make the cool border and opening super simple.  Love the fun pleated ribbon (occasions mini)  The Stamp set is from the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set in the  Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  This is one of the items you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase!

 

This card they also had a color choice.   The flower is from the new stamp set Mixed Bunch used with the Blossom punch.  The cool Designer Series Paper is Everyday Enchantment from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure - that's right FREE with a $50 purchase.  The decorative brads in the middle of the flower and the narrow organdy ribbon is another offering in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  The cool thing is that the paper coordinates with the brad and ribbon packet so for $100 you can get the paper, brads and ribbon - FREE!  Notice the little border on the bottom of the layered Designer Series Paper?

Super Cool!  This is made with new Edgelits Dies - Adorning Accents and the Adorning Accents Textured Embossing Folders.  Love the little Detail.

Now  you are probably wondering what does this have to do with Simply Stamp Time?  Next week at Simply Stamp Time you will have an opportunity to use many of these projects and if you purchase $50 you can select of the FREE Sale-A-Bration items!  Plus did you know if you sign up with me as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator you get to come to Simply Stamp Time FREE?  Yes, that is right so SIGN UP NOW!

Make & takes

Believe it or not I actually made BOTH make & takes at the San Antonio Regional!  If you follow me on facebook you will have seen a number of comments (some a little disbelieveing!?)  You see, I have a hard time stamping at Stampin' Up! Events!  I know many you are in shock.  That is the best part!  I know!  I am just not so good at it!  I have been known to stamp Make & Takes upside down, on the envelopes and a number of other embarrassing things have happening.  But I did it this time.  Here they are.

I think part of the reason I completed them is that I liked the cards.  The flower on this one is cleverly done with the largest of the three layer doily punch, the second one fromt he same punch and four small hearts.  Stitching around the edge with the white pen was a little bit of challenge for me. Now, how about those large rounded corners?  Well, that is made by sticking the corner into a circle punch from the bottom.  I will try to take a couple of pictures and show you!  But it is the
same idea as how we did the Designer Label in this tutorial.  Like the stem?  There was a stamp on the table but I drew it! Oh well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have to show you two views of this card because you would not believe that I actually made a spinner card - that worked!  Yes I did!  I will admit that the tangerine tango celebrate you circle was not part of the original design.  I got a finger smudge and that is how I fixed it!  I hope everyone is throughly impressed and if you would like more up to date information on my various adventures please feel free to follow me on facebook.  You can just click the thingy on the side.  Trust me I am not crazy but sometimes entertaining!

So, if you are someone that says that I am crazy and how much you would love to go to a Stampin' Up! Event and get to do make & takes - now is your chance!  During Sale-A-Bration not only will you get FREE product with every $50 you purchase BUT you can also become  Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and be eligible to attend all the Stampin' Up! Events ( including the WONDERFUL(?) make & takes).  For only $125!  Check out the great special - Become a Stampin' Up!

Valentines Box

Isn't this just lovely?  My friend Cherie M. made these for her downline at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference. These are the little kraft boxes that are in the Occasions Mini.  They are great for little goodies as gifts.  But when you dress them up like this they make just a great gift!  I love all the little detail!  and it is hard to tell but she covered it with the blushing bride smooch spritz (occasions mini)

I love all the details and pieces!  Great job, Cherie!  I may have to copy these for my Valentines Goodie boxes!

Do you have your own copy of the Occasions Mini?  If you need one send me your address and I will be happy to mail you one along with our Sale-A-Bration brochure with our great special.
