Last Chance and Early Bird Registration

One extra day to register for the Birthday Card Buffet Class:

Here is a quick look at the buffet options for class on Saturday January 21st, 11-2.  When you sign up to attend I will send individual images to you for your selection.  Email or text me.

You choose which cards you want to make and how many of each card. I cut everything for you and when you come to class you stamp and cut out everything for each card and assemble ONE of each at class. The rest is homework, but you have everything you need all ready, you just glue it together.  20 handmade cards for $35 is a great value.  I hope this sounds fun and an efficient way to get stocked up for birthdays in 2017!  Contact me to sign up today, January 15, 2017

Registration is now open for Inking Idaho on the Road!

This event always sells out so my customers are getting their foot in the door early, before it is too late.  Go here to register and see all the details.  Please, when you register, be sure to put my name down as your demonstrator for the event - I would love to prepare to greet you when you arrive.  Do not delay, it will sell out!

I know you will enjoy these events, I'm looking forward to spending time with you!

Inking Idaho on the Road - 2017

Guess what?!?  It is time to start thinking about the BEST stamp event in the Treasure Valley: Inking Idaho on the Road!  March 10-11 is the weekend, so mark you calendar and get ready to register.

Here's the secret: you get the option for early registration (pssst, Friday, January 13th) before it is announced to the public at large.  This event always sells out so my customers are getting their foot in the door early, before it is too late.  Go here to catch up on all the details.  Please, when you register, be sure to put my name down as your demonstrator for the event - I would love to prepare to greet you when you register.  Do not delay, it will sell out!

I hope you will be joining me, please also send me a quick text or email to let me know when you register.  It is exciting to spend time stamping together on fun projects.  There are many beautiful displays - you will be so impressed!

I am very sorry to have been missing in action on the blog this week.  If you have been on my Facebook or Instagram pages you have seen the SNOWPOCALYPSE that overwhelmed our area.  We are safe and sane.  But it has been arduous to keep up with the breakage and 16" accumulation of snow and ice.  Being adults is HARD work!

It was so peaceful and beautiful, until it began nearly flooding us.

We are now moving on beyond, survival of the storm.  I'm going to tidy up my stamp studio and get ready for the upcoming classes and more blogging!

Pretty Products!

So many pretty new products!

Oh I had to share these pretties with you.  So much fun to make and share, you will have so many ideas.  The wish list is long with this catalog: fun, whimsical, elegant, sweet, sophisticated, manly.  There is something for every holiday occasion and more!

I love this cheerful video - in fact I watched it twice!  I hope you enjoy it and all the lovely peeks of new products and projects.

Go here to see many more product introductions from Stampin' Up! on YouTube.  It is so helpful to see products in action and the potential of creating with them.  There are so many uses to make thoughtful cards and papercrafts for your family, friends, business, classrooms, as well as friends at the gym and hobby groups.

Birthday Card Buffet

Coming up on Saturday January 21 is a birthday card buffet to get you stocked up for all your birthday needs this year!  How does it work?

I will design 10 cards and number them, then post them to registered customers. You choose which cards you want to make and how many of each card. I cut everything for you and when you come to class you stamp and cut out everything for each card and assemble ONE of each at class. The rest is homework, but you have everything you need all ready, you just glue it together. I will have a max of 20 cards you can choose and I charge $35 for the class.  I hope this sounds fun and efficient to get stocked up for 2017!

Space is limited so be sure to claim your seat ASAP.  Deadline to register is January 14th, payment is due with registration.

2017 Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Excitement

NOTICE: January 7th open house is CANCELLED: be safe, stay home and off the streets.  I'm hoping to reschedule - TBD.

What an exciting week this has been.  We have had:

1.  to shut down our internet to find malware in our network

2.  record breaking snow

3. two three snow days off from school

4. a global system failure at Stampin' Up! for over 15 hours on Wednesday.

Meanwhile BIG things started! The Occasions catalog (see here) started with the Sale-A-Bration (see here) catalog!  Sale-A-Bration gives you a selection of exclusive free products.  You can select one free item with each $50 of product ordered from the annual catalog or the Occasions catalog.

Need another excuse to get together with friends? Just host a qualifying order or party with at least $250 in sales during Sale-A-Bration and you’ll earn $25 more in Stampin’ Rewards! You can even apply your Stampin’ Rewards toward a Starter Kit and become a demonstrator yourself!

It’s the best time of year to join Stampin’ Up! During Sale-A-Bration, you can become a demonstrator for just $99 and choose TWO additional stamp sets for your Starter Kit—any stamp set, any price! (Excludes Sale-A-Bration sets and bundles.) Plus, the kit ships for free!  I have an awesome team that is fun and so creative!  You would love to get to know the amazing demonstrators I work and collaborate with - and they have become such sweet friendships.

Both catalogs have lots of wonderful products, ideas, projects and more to explore for stamping and creating with ink and paper.  I have really enjoyed fun with my new stamping products.  I hope you will join me for classes and making beautiful projects at your home.  

Do you need a catalog? What are your favorite new stamps and supplies?  What do you plan to order first?

I'm looking forward to reading your comments in answer to my questions.  Starting on Monday I will have my Team Swap blog series again featuring card designs with our new products.  I can't wait for you to see these beautiful cards!
