Hello Stampers!  Remember that Stampin' Up! is coming out with a stamp set every month this year to celebrate their 25th Anniversary?  Well for this month, the stamps are all Halloween!

 Click on this picture to see the flyer larger.

I have added a new button at the top of my blog to show all of the Best of 25 Years stamp sets so far.  You can purchase any of these stamp sets through March 2014.

If you decide to order any of these this month, use the Hostess Code of GTPT7MB6 in my Inkin With Dink online store.  I will be giving away goodies at the end of this month!!! 

Interactive Holiday catalog & August Hostess code

Hello Stampers!  Have you noticed that the new Holiday catalog is Interactive?  That's right!  Be sure to try out the new augmented reality feature--available today--to see videos that show our products in action. It's easy enough for newbies, fun enough for tech-savvy users, and free!

1. Install the free Layar app to your smartphone or tablet.
2. Using the Layar app, scan any catalog page that has the Stampin' Up! Interactive icon on it.

This will show you videos of how to use lots of the products in the catalog!  How fun!

Don't have a smartphone or tablet?  Not a problem!  You can access all of the videos here!

I love these videos and how they show us how to use the new products!

Once you watch these videos, and have your wish list all made out, hop over to my Inkin With Dink online store and place your order!  Be sure you use Hostess Code GTPT7MB6 if you place your order this month.  There will be FREE goodies to give away if you do!

Glazed & Confused Fundraiser

Hello Stampers!  We are having a very special fundraising event next week for a dear member of my team.  Terri is on the list to receive a Diabetic Alert Dog, and she is hoping to raise $25,000 over a three year period, which is the cost of training one of these dogs!

To help her out, we are having a fundraising event at Glazed & Confused in South County.  If you are near the St. Louis area, I hope you will stop by and help us out!

The event will be held on Friday, August 16th from 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.  The studio fee for the evening is $10, all of which will go to Terri.  You will pick out a pottery piece to paint that evening, and 5% of the cost will also be donated to Terri.

There is a featured pottery piece for the evening.  If you purchase a cupcake platter like this one:

 $8 will be donated to Terri!  WOW!

So come on out, and enjoy a fun evening being creative!  Don't think you are creative or artsy?  They have tons of templates and patterns that you can use to help you out!

Bring the kids and make a Christmas present for Grandma!

Bring some friends and have a fun girl's night out!  You can bring wine and snacks!

There will be cake pops and water bottles for sale that evening.  There will also be a few items to be raffled off that evening.

Let me know if you will join us for this special evening!

Punch Art Class & Class To Go

Hello Stampers!  Well, I have decided to try to hold a special class every month.  There are just so many things I want to teach my customers, and I'm not getting it all in my regular classes!

For this month, I wanted to hold a Punch Art class.  At this class, we will be making four punch art cards.  We will use several of the current Stampin' Up! punches!

  Aren't they super cute???

The cost of this class will be $15 which will include everything needed to complete these cards.  Here is the date and time of this class:

Please let me know if you would like to attend the class live, or would like the kit.  This class will be available through the end of this month.

Monthly Card Class

Hello Stampers!  I don't know if you noticed it or not, but I removed the featured post at the top of my blog.  Instead, there are now tabs at the top for the long-term promotions like Paper Pumpkin, The Best of 25 Years stamp sets, and Photopolymer stamps! 

Today I wanted to show you the cards that we will be making in my monthly card class this month.

 The technique that we will be learning this month is Emboss Resist and we will be learning it on the butterfly card.

The cost of this class is $10 and included everything needed to make three cards, including envelopes.

Here are my class times and locations for this month:

Tuesday, August 13th   10:00 a.m.  (my house)

Wednesday, August 14th   6:30 p.m.  (my house)

Friday, August 23rd   6:30 p.m.   (First Baptist Church - Arnold)

Friday, August 30th   6:00 p.m.   (Arnold Hobby Lobby)

Please RSVP for whichever class you would like to attend so that I have enough supplies. 

Can't make it to any of these classes?  I have kits available for the same cost. 

Hope to see you at class!

Happy Birthday to me!

Hello Stampers!  Well, Friday was my birthday, yep, 29 again!  Today I wanted to share some of the hand made birthday cards that I received!

 from Arlene

 from Mom

 from Karen

 from Vicki

 from Sarah

 from Jann

WOW!  Am I ever blessed to have such great friends and family!  Thanks everyone for the wonderful cards!

Triple Layer stamping

Hello Stampers!  I have seen several versions of this on blogs, so I decided I needed to give it a try!  It is just another take on Triple Layer Stamping.

You start off with a layer of White cardstock for your card front.  You need to stamp it with a background stamp with Versamark (102283).  Then emboss it with Clear Embossing powder (109130).  From there, you take two different sized framelits and cut it into three layers.  Finally, you sponge color on each layer with a sponge and stamp pad.  Then, put the layers back together and adhere to card front!  That is it! 

It is a great technique, so I decided to teach my team!  These are the cards that I made to show them:

 

 

This card uses the En Francais stamp (w - 128562 c - 127790) and the Labels Collection framelits (125598) and Floral Frames Collection framelits (127012).

This card also uses the same stamp set and framelits.

 

 

This card uses the Woodgrain stamp (w - 128763 c - 127808) and the Apothecary Accents framelits (127003).

They were given the challenge to go make their own cards using this technique and bring them to the next meeting.  You have to see what they all came up with!

 

 If you haven't tried this technique yet, give it a try and show me what you come up with!
