Only a few more days to get FREE Product

I just got back from spending several days in Rhode Island with my sister-in-law. It was wonderful to spend time with her and visit.

I am having Fun Friday this coming week (March 30th). If you have placed an order I probably will have it available for pick up. I will also offer my birthday offer again. I have gathered many card fronts from swaps that I have participated in and I am offering them to you with an order. If you choose to order $25 then you can choose 2, if your order is $50 or more you can choose 5 of the card fronts.

Sale-A-Bration is Stampin' Up!'s biggest promotion and it is almost over! For the next few days you can order $50 of awesome Stampin' Up! product and choose from many options for your FREE product. You can click here to see a video of the Happy Wishes  stamp set. The Spring Foils 12x12 Specialty Designer Series Paper is another of the FREE product options. Here I colored the paper with my Stampin' Blends alcohol markers and then swiped my Pool Party ink pad over it. It is so beautiful in real life!!

If you are unable to get to the studio you can email me an order or hop on over to my online store and place an order there. I would be happy to mail your card fronts to you.

 

I have done a couple of Brusho demonstrations. Here is the result of adding Brusho crystals onto spray starch on Watercolor paper. I covered the paper with plastic wrap and smooshed it around. The trick is waiting for it to dry. In order to get the fabulous effect the plastic wrap must be left on the paper while the starch dries and the waiting is sooo hard!!!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. I will try to get a few more card samples posted here soon.

New Choices for Sale-A-Bration!!

 

Happy snow day! I know you may be sick of the snow but this is really to be expected in New England! Every year since the year I was born there is a storm within a few days of my birthday. The year I was born my grandmother could not get out of  Bradley Airport in Hartford to fly to Louisiana because of a big storm.  Anyway the snow day gives me a chance to catch up on some computer work and let you know about some fun things happening at the studio and with Stampin' Up! Stampin' Up! has added a few great current catalog products to the Sale-A-Bration offerings!!

This coming Friday, March 16th is a Fun Friday. It is also my birthday so stop by and see me! I will have some treats to share and fun cards too! I plan to be at the studio by 3:30 and will stay until 6. I sure hope you come for a visit!

 



Picture Perfect Birthday

I am trying something a little new at the studio. I am doing Technique Tuesday class a bit different. At On Stage in Salt Lake City in November I learned about a class another demonstrator was holding with  a lot of success, so I decided to try it for a bit and see how it worked for us! I call it Stamp With Me and Get it FREE. The way it works is that I place an order before class for the stamp sets (you let me know and pay by registration deadline) at the class you use your stamp set to create 3 cards (okay last month it was 4 as I had a hard time narrowing down the options!).

These are a couple of cards the one on the left is one we made in class and the one on the right is similar to one we made using the stamp set and the photorealistic Designer Series Paper caller Picture Perfect Party 6x6 Designer Series Paper.

 



 

This coming month in March the stamp set we will be using is Bird Banter. It is a very cute set that includes outline bird images for coloring and several punny (yup I meant to type that) sayings like "Just a little toucan of my appreciation" and "You are the kind of friend I would share my branch with". I will probably use "A little birdie told me it was your birthday" and the complimentary one "Obviously it wasn't an early bird" quite often! I love making cards but getting a stamp on them and getting them in the mail is often a challenge for me!

 

 

These are a couple cards that I am considering for class. I also have a Waterfall card for this class.

 

The stamp set for April is the amazing Waterfront stamp set. We will use the Brusho Color Crystals for at least one of the cards.
