So – mark your calendars! This Friday, October 18th I’ll be on CH Morning Live sharing some crafty Hallowe’en projects. Should be fun! I’m not going to post ANY samples ahead of time, because when I do, that’s always the project that I don’t end up showing on air. We’ll see how that works for me this time LOL. My scheduled slot is 9:15 so set your PVR! (I’ll try to get a recording to share here as well).
In the meantime, I looooove the latest photopolymer set from Stampin’ Up! It’s called Endless Wishes and I just love the clean images and scripted words that are included in this set. Can’t wait to get my hands on one….and once I do you can be sure I’ll be using it for myself and for classes. Here’s the link to the flyer
If you’d like to get this set right away, you can place your order online and use the current hostess code WAUDSM7E. When you do, you’ll be entered into a draw to get the hostess benefits from all online orders placed! So if your order is less than $200, please use the hostess code – what have you got to lose? If your order is $200 or more, do NOT use the hostess code – you’ll earn benefits all on your own 😉 If you have questions, please contact me.
OK now to get back in the Hallowe’en spirit to prepare for Friday!
Oct 10, 2013 | Big Shot, cards, Christmas
I’d tweeted about a great idea I’d visualized for a card…but you know how it goes with those ideas, sometimes…looks fantastic in your imagination, but in real life, doesn’t work out. Well this one worked! OK so I may rework the background again at some point, but it was the “ornament” that I was visualizing. I used the globe stamp from The Open Sea (a non-Christmas set), and paired it with the ornament framelit from the Holiday Ornaments framelits set that is still available (though not featured in the current catalogue and kind of hard to find on the online store site!). Anyway, it fit well enough for me to be happy with the result. Add a ribbon and there you go! The inside sentiment is “Joy to the World” but “Peace on Earth” would also be appropriate, don’t you think??
I designed this card for the October Christmas Card Class. If you are just getting into holiday card mode (or vaguely realizing that there’s a holiday coming up at some point in the next while…) there’s the November & December Christmas Card Classes still to come. Each month features 4 different cards (and different from the month before as well). You’ll have plenty of ideas if you want to recreate some of them for mass mailing. OR….consider attending my November 30th Stamp a Stack or Christmas Card Clinic. You’ll have your choice – 10 cards of 5 different designs, or 10 (or more) cards of the same design. Watch for the sign up in the next couple of weeks. Of course, there’s also the 12 Weeks of Christmas mailings – 2 weeks down, 10 to go…if you’re on my mailing list, you’ll automatically receive these special mailings.
In the meantime, I’m off to start thinking about my Thanksgiving menu! (Order turkey – check; everything else for the meal: ummmmm)

Stampin’ Up! is releasing a new set every month to celebrate 25 years in business. This month is the “Best of Christmas” set, just in time for all of your holiday crafting! These “best of” sets are a collection of previous favourite images and one new image in clear mount, and are available until March 31, 2014. Each set comes with a special sticker, and once you’ve collected 6 stickers, you get to pick a set worth $17.95 for FREE!! Click on the image to see the flyer, or click on the set name to go to the online store….but before you do – read below!
Now for the opportunity to WIN! For this month, I’m trying something new. If you place an online order from anywhere in Canada during this month, use the hostess code WAUDSM7E When you do, you’ll be entered into a draw for hostess benefits!
If you’re new to shopping online at my Stampin’ Up! store, here’s an image of the screen. You’ll want to be sure it has my name at the top left, and the arrow at the bottom left shows you where to enter the hostess code.
IMPORTANT!! If your order is $200, DO NOT USE THE CODE as you will get your own hostess benefits (or “Stampin’ Rewards” as it’s referred to on the online shopping site! If you order is less than $200, that’s when you should use the code. Minimum shipping charges will apply, and the order will be delivered directly to you! If you have any questions, please contact me.
