Oct 2, 2013 | Announcements, Christmas, specials
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.

Sep 18, 2013 | Events, specials, Stampin' Up!

SOOOOOOO….I will take registrations until the end of tomorrow (THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH) and then close down the registrations for these events. You will still be able to register for the October Card Class, October Christmas Card Class and Christmas Banner offerings for a while, but you can bet I will be paying a bit better attention to my calendar!! LOL.

Aug 28, 2013 | Business Opportunity, cards, rubber stamping, specials, TV/Video/Web/Tech
So I thought since it’s still Wednesday here…I would share one of the projects I created for my appearance on the Morning Live TV show. This was a gatefold wedding invitation, with the invitation information printed on Whisper White cardstock and adhered inside the Marina Mist card. On air, we finished the creation of the belly band. This ensemble features the Summer Silhouettes set, one of my new favourites. It takes me back to two step stamping, where two stamps are used to create a single image. The flower stem is one stamp, and the flowers are another. This was what drew me to Stampin’ Up!’s products over 11 years ago – before Stampin’ Up! even came to Canada! (The joys of having American friends, or friends with American addresses!). When the opportunity came to Canada shortly afterwards, you can bet it was a no-brainer for me to become a demonstrator – and I was one of the first ones to do so, and still going strong!
So a couple of reminders, along that line – if you’re interested in becoming a demonstrator, the Pick a Kit promotion is on until August 31st. You only have a few days left! You can get a project kit for free along with the $155 worth of merchandise that you select. See the details here or contact me for more information…or go here to start the online sign up process! My group of demonstrators includes people from all over Ontario and out to British Columbia and we’d love to have you join us.
So…I’ve posted about this almost everywhere else – twitter, facebook…so sharing the joy here as well…after my spot on Morning Live, I ran into Adam van Koeverden, who was on his way in! I am pretty sure I babbled, but managed to get a photo taken with him. It was such a thrill to meet him – after having watched him compete in the Olympics and win medals in kayaking…hoping some of that athletic greatness rubs off on me during my half marathon this weekend!!!
And as I said on my facebook page….kind of glad this happened AFTER my appearance, because I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been all too coherent otherwise LOL!
Aug 27, 2013 | MDS, specials
It’s that time again! Stampin’ Up! has released the next free digital desktop calendar – this one features the Old School September Digital kit. The kit itself has 33 digital brushes, 12 Designer Series Papers and 14 embellishments in a retro styling for Back to School!
Every Tuesday is digital release day, and here are all the releases for August 27th. The other bonus with digital items – no shipping costs and instant gratification – download it right away and get started on projects, in MDS or in other photo editing software (like Photoshop). Don’t forget that you can do a free trial of MDS as well (though the $24.95 sticker price makes it fairly accessible!).
