70% off discounts and more retiring items

Just released is the list of retiring Stampin' Up! accessories. Some items are discounted at 70% off and will be available while supplies last until May 31, 2012.

You can place an order directly through me or go to my website and have it shipped right to your door!
When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed.

This is for two reasons: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) we are introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog.The Firm Foam pads offer better ink pad longetivity and ink coverage and, in turn, better stamped images. Fear not that these colors will be retiring!

In addition, please note the following about the new catalog:

• Only select Stampin' Write Markers will be available individually (Stampin' Write Markers in color collections will continue to be offered)  
• 12" x 12" Textured Card Stock will no longer be offered
• 12" x 12" Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select individual colors and color collections

Fruitful crafting

After realizing how lazy I've been and became a best friend to procrastination, I decided to pull a weekend of pure crafting. My long refreshing trip last month has put me in the mood of restarting a new year by inspiring others and igniting their creativity. So here we go...
my February technique club cards.


This month we are using the new scented embossing powders! Have a sniff and you won't be able to give away the card! Scented embossing powders come in vanilla, melon and cherry!

This card is a case from Marlene Peters. She's so full of talent!

Stamp club is always accepting new members! Interested in just dropping in? Join me as a drop-in member for $12 and you'll be able to complete this card along with another fun card!

February stamp club meet is on Thurs, Feb 23 from 7:30pm. Contact me if you are interested! There are other stamp club options available too!

Halloween is coming again!

It's that time of year again..all the shelves in department stores that had back-to-school items have been removed and replaced with Halloween goods. It can only mean Halloween is just around the corner!

To prepare for such a fun event, I started off with this card using the Trick or Treat letterpress plate on the Big Shot. I also used the Petite Pennant Builder punch 122361 ($22.95) to make those corn candies!

This is a card I cased from a lady off Stampin' Connection. As excited as I was I forgot to write down the lady's name I got this inspiration from. If you know her, please let me know so I can give her credit.

Promotions retreat project II

Today's card is one I did as a make and take at my incentive trip to the Sunshine Coast I earned as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from my upline, Kari.

As it turns out, Kari adores the Creative Elements stamp set as much as I do! We just can't stop using this set!

Want to earn an incentive trip? The all-inclusive weekend getaway is so easy to earn! I've won this annually ever since the best decision in becoming a demonstrator! I went to Whistler last year!

Promotions retreat project

During my unforgettable getaway that I earned from my upline to Sunshine Coast last month, I got to do a few make and take projects as well!
The first one is a must have for all getaways to give yourself a few moments of spa-like experience.

My awesome upline, Kari pre-sewed these eye pillows and had us fill it up with rice mixed with rejuvenating scents!

We had so much fun putting it together!

Here's a digital page that Sandra Farrell did using the My Digital Studio program. She's great working digital!
Like the eye pillows? How about making it in an upcoming fabric stamp club? Details to come!

I will post another make and take project soon so please check back for that update!

Card for the team

My downlines were also at the promotion dinner on Friday. So I made this card for my team and my upline.

Just doing a quick post this morning because I'm heading out to a wedding now.

I used the Creative Elements stampset for this card. I must say this stampset is absolutely gorgeous and I love every stamp in this set. Pin It now!

Mustache card

Many people have asked me about what I did with the Many Mustache stampset now that is has been mounted on the clear-mount cling. If you missed the clear-mount cling tutorial, click here.
I made this!

More projects of this stampset to come! What will you craft with this stampset?

What you missed

Thank you all who came to my free class this past weekend! You now have 1 Christmas card completed for this holiday!

We made these two cards in the class.

We used the Pennant Parade and Raining Flowers stampset.

Wanted to come but couldn't? Hopefully I can you see in my upcoming classes or at the World Vision fundraiser this month!

Cling that 'stash!

Did you know that you can now change your wood-mount stamps to clear-mounts?

All you need is the clear-mount cling foam!

Here's a quick tutorial on how to switch!

I used the new and trendy Many Mustaches

1. Trim your wood mount stamp if necessary


2. Peel the rubber away from the adhesive of the woodmount

3. Press the back side of the rubber to the adhesive side (very sticky side) of the foam.

4. Trim to size and you're done!

Please note that you will not be able to use the sticker to this cling foam because the woodmount stickers were not made to cling.
