Uh-oh!

Haven't been on lately because our computers have been taken over by some crazy virus thing that we can't get rid off :( One computer is at the doctors and the other one is very slow and selective in what it lets me do. We are doing our best to get back up and running.  I can't show you any pictures today, sorry, but on another note, I still have 3 spots left in the Christmas Stamp Camp on November 6.  If you scroll down to previous posts, you will see the info there.  Would love to have you join us for lots of stamping fun, food, and prizes!!!!

Stamp Night Projects

Last night I held my monthly stamp night and we had a great time making 3 projects.  I have 2 to share with today and the other one tomorrow.

 When I first saw this technique, I loved it so decided my 'girls' should know how to do it.  It is called de-bossing.  We punched out the flowers and adhered them to the Whisper White cardstock.  We then put all of this through the Big Shot using the square lattice embossing folder.  It makes it look like one sheet of cardstock instead of the flowers attached to the paper.  We added some super yummy Pear Pizzazz ribbon to finish it off.  Most girls added a greeting in the bottom corner and I would suggest that you stamp that on before you put in through the Big Shot.  The cardstock colours are Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry, and Daffodil Delight for the center of the flowers.

This second card uses the stamp set Just Believe (I am not sure why the picture is so blurry on here).  This card is very elegant but was very quick to make.  The colour we used is Concord Crush which is a very deep purple.  We added some dsp to the side and used the new ribbon border punch to add a bit more detail beside the dsp.  The main flower image is layered on top of a piece of vellum and there are 2 pearls on the flowers as well as on the greeting tag which was punched out using the modern label punch.
If you are interested in joining us at our monthly stamp night, you are welcome to come but you must make a $25 purchase.  If you want to make it a monthly committment, then you are eligible to receive hostess benefits as well!
If you are in the Hanover area tomorrow, I will be at the Home Party Show Shopping Extravaganza taking place from 10am-3pm at the Legion.  I will have lots of retired things for sale!

Did You Know?

Did you know that the Order Online tab at the top of my website is not just for shopping?  It actually has four purposes!
1.  You can place your Stampin' Up! order from the comfort of your home on your computer, 24/7, even in your pj's...and who is going to know?
2.  The SHOP NOW tab also lets you browse all of Stampin' Up!'s current catalogues to see every page full of stamps, paper, embellishments, colour combinations and sample projects.  When would this be handy you ask?  Well let's say you're at work and you want to plan your next project but don't have your catalogue.  You can browse to your heart's content...until the boss walks by!
4.  You can view the Clearance Rack which has items up to 60% off!!!  Click here to view.
3.  The best part of the SHOP NOW tab is that there is a separate section full of projects and their recipes.  Just follow this link to view these amazing projects.

Oh, and one more thing.  If you do decide to place an order online, be sure that you see my name at the top of the page because that will ensure you receive the special preferred pricing that only I as a demonstrator can give you.
