Onstage Gifts

Hello Stampers!  You have got to see the great gifts that I received at Onstage earlier this month!

 I got a really cute canvas tote bag, some Stampin' Up! pens, that are purple!!!  A water bottle.  And a really cute embellishment bag!

 Here is a closeup of the bag.

 Here it is opened up!  Lots of little pockets for lots of embellishments!  There were even some embellishments inside when we got it!  Too cute!

Thanks for stopping by!  Don't forget that tomorrow is the last day for the Online Extravaganza and there will be a flash sale tomorrow too!!!

November Paper Pumpkin

Hello Stampers!  Sorry for the absence again!  Life just keeps flying by!  Last week I received my November Paper Pumpkin kit.  I'm always so excited for my kit to arrive each month!  I decided that I would sit down immediately and complete my kit, and I did!  Want to see what all I made???

First I want to show you the box.  This is what comes in the mail every month.

 This is what you see when you open it up!

 Every kit comes with a stamp set, stampin' spot, and instructions.

Here are the cards that I made:  These were the cards following the kit instructions:

And these are the other ones that I came up with:

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my cards.  I love my Paper Pumpkin kits and if you would like to join me in receiving these kits every month, just let me know!  They are only $19.95 each month plus tax! 

 

 

OnStage event

Hello Stampers!  This last weekend I went to Dallas for the Stampin' Up! OnStage event!  It a lot of fun!  We got to preview the Occasions catalog and the Sale-a-Bration catalog before other demonstrators. 

Friday evening, there was an event for leaders only.   Saturday was for all demonstrators.  We got to play with some of the new products coming out. 

Here are some of the cards that were swaps.

Thanks for stopping by!  I've got lots more to show over the next few days!

 

 

Elephant birthday card

Hello Stampers!  Well, today is my daughter, Amie's birthday!  She is away at college so I knew I had to make her a cute birthday card!  Since she LOVES elephants, I of course pulled out the Zoo Babies stamp set.  Here is what I came up with:

 This is a stairstep card.  This one is called a center stairstep card. 

I used the Build a Birthday stamp set for the candles and Zoo Babies for the elephant.  The birthday hat was punched using the Tree punch.

Well I'm off to Dallas today for the new Stampin' Up! Onstage Event!  I'm so excited!  I won't be posting to my blog while I'm gone, but I hope to be posting on Facebook.  We are going to get to see the new Occasions catalog that comes out in January as well as the Sale-a-Bration catalog!  We will also get to play with some of the new products!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Spider Web Doilies aren't just for Halloween!

Hello Stampers!  Did you know that Spider Web Doilies aren't just for Halloween???  I know, they are spider webs, as you can see in these pictures below:

 

But, if you turn these cuties over, they are white on the backside!  There are tons of things you can do with these!  Here is a video from Stampin' Up! showing you all of the different pieces that can come out of one doily!

 

You can still order these Spider Web Doilies from the Holiday catalog until January 4th!

Christmas Candy/Gift Card Holder

Hello Stampers!  A couple of weeks ago, I shared with you a candy/gift card holder that we made at a team meeting.  I thought that it was so cute that I made some for Christmas.  Then I decided that I would do a video so that you could make some too!  First, the samples that I made:

And here is my video:

 

Have fun making these!  Let me know if you have any questions!

A-corny birthday!

Hello Stampers!  I guess I have to switch gears a little bit and go from Halloween to Fall.  It certainly doesn't feel like Fall here though!  Temperatures are supposed to get close to 80 degrees here for the next several days, which is unheard of for early November!  But I'm going to enjoy it anyway!

So here is the card I came up with today!

 I have seen a couple of cards similar to this floating around, but I added my own take on it!  I used the Acorny Thank You stamp set and the colors Cherry Cobbler, Perfect Plum, Crushed Curry, and Garden Green.  You need to pop up the caps with dimensionals so that it gives your card a pop!!

Thanks for stopping by!
