Happy Heart Day … Guest Stamper

Hello stampin’ friends ~

Today I will share with you another card from our Star’s Christmas Party. 

Today’s guest stamper is Eileen S.We will take a break from Christmas and share with you a cute card that will warm your heart and get you yearning for Valentine’s Day.

101_2314

Eileen used the NEW Envelope Punch Board to create her card.   Watch for an upcoming class that focuses on Envelope Punch Board projects in January. 

Envelope Punch Board includes:
* An easy-to-use chart to create up to 66 different envelope sizes (including standard sizes). The measurements are provided both in inches and centimeters.
* A scoring tool in a convenient storage slot.
* Two punches designed right into the tool itself: one to make the envelope and one to round its corners.

The greeting comes from the “Tags for You” stamp set found in the Holiday catalog, along with the coordinating “Label Bracket” Punch.

The card is highlighted with the beautiful Silver Glimmer paper and fabulous punches.  The “Polka Dot Parade” Designer Series paper really brings it all together and makes is pop.

101_2314

To complete the card (as many of us do when we sign off) are the “xoxo” hugs and kisses from the “Oh, Goodie” stamp set.  You can find that in the Holiday catalog as well.

Thanks for stopping by today!

New Photopolymer Stamps and Scrapbooking Share …

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Just released …

b1_demoheader_photopolymer_Oct1513_NA

Like it or not, Christmas is just around the corner (hopefully you’re in the “like it” camp). Either way, you’ll want our brand-new Endless Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set so you’re prepped with festive greetings for all the little gifts, tags, and holiday projects you’ll make this season!

Personally, I love snowflakes (as long as they don’t pile up on my driveway) … they are so easy to create cards and scrapbook pages with them.  And if you live in Wisconsin like I do, you can use them for almost 6 months out of the year!  Besides, the greetings are simply irresistible!  So whether you need tags, cards or scrapbook pages … this stamp set will have you covered!

Stampin’ Up! has several stamp sets in the Photopolymer … check it out here! (Click on link)

My project share today are 3 scrapbook pages I did as a class at our local Historical Society.

000_1356

You could easily substitute the new “Endless Wishes” photopolymer stamp set snowflakes for the ones I used on my “Winter in Washington County” page.  I used 3 different shades of blue to create some depth in the stamping.  The technique you see is the “Triple stamp” technique.  See More Here

I love using stamps in my scrapbooking … it gives you so much versatility and depth.  Any of our stamps work great, but the clear photopolymer stamps seem to be just the right fit for scrapbooking.  You could also turn this wintery scrapbook page / technique into a beautiful card.

The pages you see here are quite simple, but my focus when teaching has always been to highlight the photos, along with your journaling … they should really tell the story.  Your stamping and embellishments should compliment your photos, not hide them.

Hope you enjoyed today’s share.

Thanks for dropping by.

What’s New at Stampin’ Up!

Hello my Stampin’ Friends,

Today I want to share with you some of the news and products coming from Stampin’ Up!  I have two products that are now available to purchase, two new photopolymer stamp sets to show you, and more!

First lets begin with our fabulous products.  I know you have all been waiting for the new BFF of your Framelits and Edgelits! The exclusive Magnetic Platform to hold your Framelits and Edgelits in place when you cut.

The video you are about to see showcases our new “Expressions Framelits” along with the Magnetic Platform.  Enjoy …

Please note:
* The platform produces a magnetic field—like all magnetic fields, it may interfere with pacemakers, magnetic strips on credit cards, and cell phones if they are too close to the platform.

The next product I want to share with you is the Envelope Punch Board …

If you are in my clubs, you will be using all these items “hands-on” very soon.  If you are not, don’t worry … I will be hosting some great classes that feature these products.  I’ll keep you posted.

Next, I’d like to show you 2 of our newest Photopolymer stamp sets.  These are so cool … Of course they are great for scrapbookers, but just think of the neat school projects your kids could make with these sets!

B1_photopolymer_Sept1713_NA

Here is the “Map it Out” stamp set …

6a00e554f4a3a48834019aff7465a2970b-800wi

And here is the “Greetings From” stamp set …

6a00e554f4a3a48834019aff7465fc970b-800wi

I just think these are the perfect stamp sets for teachers, and kids for their school projects … geography, social sciences, or even to decorate their book covers (do kids still do that?).  Just think of the possibilities!  FUN.

I also want to share our current special with you, the “Butterfly Bundle” … too cute!

Introducing Stampin’ Up!s NEW Envelope Punch Board!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Happy Labor Day… Hope you are enjoying an extended weekend!

Today I would like to share with you a fun new product … Stampin’ Up!s New Envelope Punch Board.

b1_EnvelopePunch_demo_aug1513_NA

Item Description Price
133774 Envelope Punch Board $19.95

Available beginning September 1, 2013.

Points to Remember…

  • It creates totally customizable envelopes in up to 66 different sizes (not to mention a million different color and pattern options depending on the paper you want to use). Even tried and true envelope sizes will only take you moments to create!

  • It’s super easy to use; it will go over as a huge wow when you demonstrate it at your events and your customers see it in action. It looks intimidating at first glance, but when they see that all you have to do is measure for the first punch and from there you just turn and score they’ll go crazy (in a good way).

  • It’s small and lightweight; this makes it easy for you to take it to your events and show it. It’s also a great selling point when you show your customers how it’s super portable and easy to store. It’s small and light enough that they could use it while watching a soccer match, at a park, at a friend’s for craft night-anywhere.

  • It even has a slick scoring tool as well as a punch that lets you create rounded corners on your envelopes.

  • It’s easy to keep it all together; the stylus storage compartment and two punches are designed into the tool so you don’t have a bunch of little pieces to keep track of (even the instructions are printed right on the tool so you won’t lose them!).

Check out the video to see just how easy it is to use …

One more thing …

The price is terrific-especially for a tool that does so much!  Only $19.95

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have an awesome day!

New Product Videos …

Hi Stampin’ friends,

Just a quick post today to show you what’s new at Stampin’ Up!  Just in case you haven’t seen it yet.

First I am going to share the new Envelope Liners Framelits Die (132172) found on page 37 of the Holiday catalog.  The ladies who were at my Christmas stamp camp … you got to see it close up.

My attendee’s also got to use the “Merry Little Christmas” Simply Created Card Kit (132158) which includes envelope liners in the kit.  In fact, everything you need to put the kit together (except adhesive) is included in the kit!  They were a big hit!

                           Merry Little Christmas Small          132158L

Here is another fun die Stampin’ Up! has introduced this year … the “Gift Bow Bigz L Die” (129977).  That is also located in the Holiday Catalog on page 37.  Eileen won her’s at Convention this year!

How cute is that!  I’ll be showing you different things you can do with your bow die in upcoming posts.

Stampin’ Up! has also introduced “NEW” Single Stamps …   Just click the link below to view all.

Flyer_SingleStamps5_Aug1213_NA

Not sure why I couldn’t get that little sticker to show up!   I guess sometimes these computers and their components have to show us they are in control.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the new products … I will return tomorrow with another project!

Have a great day,

I am really excited to share with you the release of the new “Stampin’ Trimmer Rotary Addition and blades”.  You can find them on page 176 and 177 of the Idea book and Catalog or the Holiday catalog – pg. 24.

I watched the demonstration of the rotary additions at convention and new right then and there that I just had to have these … remember that “deckle” scissors we used to have, well the “tiny wave” cutting blade will be just as much fun, and easier!!

The time is now … look whats new!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I can’t believe it is already August … that means my stampin’ clubs start up again next month!

I host different types of clubs, however my most popular is the technique club.  In this class you will make a minimum of 2 cards that showcase a specific technique, then you will make a 6 x 6 technique sheet which describes how to do the technique and has a sample of it.

This club is perfect for when you have that “how’d she do that” moment – because now you’ll have a beautiful reference guide.  Here’s a picture of one of the techniques we did in previous years ….

 101_1208

As a club member you will also be using the newest product we have to offer… a great hands-on learning experience.  Here’s a video of one of products you will be using this year  …

So grab a friend and come to the best seat in town!  We meet 1 night a month for 10 months … you will have a great time and meet new friends all while learning more about a craft you love – stamping!  Here is a list of club descriptions and more details …

2013-14 CLUB DESCRIPTIONS

STAMP-n-SCRAP CLUB ~ Monday Nights

This group will make one scrapbook page and one card per month.  We will also use different techniques throughout the year.  This club is for anyone who wants to maintain cards making and still get some scrapbooking done too.

 

TECHNIQUE CLUB ~ Wednesday Night /Thursday Night / Saturday Morning (pick day that works best)

This group will be making 2 projects (generally cards) and a 6X6 Technique Sheet.  You will create a technique sheet which has the technique you learned each month, along with instructions.  This club is for anyone who wants to focus on learning new techniques and have  a reference sheet to look back to.

 

12 x 12 SCRAPPIN’ CLUB ~ Friday Night

This club is for scrapbookers!  We learn different techniques, different types of layouts, and the many tools there are available for scrapbooking … including rubber stamps!  In this class … I prefer you bring your pictures as some of our layouts work best when done with photos in class.  That’s one of the biggest reasons my group likes this class, they go home with finished pages!

 

This is a club (a commitment to the group) – we meet 1 night a month for 10 months.  Each participant agrees to purchase a minimum of $15 a month.  In return you get each month: a minimum of 2 projects (pre-cut) free with my professional instruction. (Minimum for scrapbook class is $25 for a 2 page 12 x 12 layout)

* You will also get a minimum of $25 FREE Hostess dollars on your host month to spend on anything you want in the catalog! 

* All club dates are held at my stampin’ studio.  (No need to clean … I’ll do that)

You’ll have a great time and meet some amazing people. You may start as strangers, but by the end of our club … you’ll be friends.

Join us … and take some time out for yourself just 1 night a month. It’s time for some … YOU time!

I can also schedule a private club for you and your friends … Min. 8 people.

CLUBS BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER … SIGN UP BY AUGUST 26th

Contact me if you are interested in joining one of my groups: 262-334-1009 or lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com

Have a great week~

Convention Video and Butterfly Swap Card …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Our annual Convention is over but I think I’m still flying high.  There were so many highlights this year, our first male demonstrator not only earned “Rising Star Award” … a special achievement for new demonstrators, but he also earned the grand vacation incentive trip!  So yes … men stamp!

So today, I would like to invite you to convention with me.  Here is just a little tid-bit of what went on at Convention 2013.  Click on the arrow below, sit back and enjoy …

I hope you got the feeling that many of us had being there.  It is truly an extraordinary experience.  It was so much fun.

I did not make swaps this year, however … my fellow demonstrators are so nice, that some of them shared a swap card with me.  Here is one of those swap cards …  I wish she would have put her name on the card so I could give her credit – it is so pretty.
