Online Extravaganza Reminder

November 27, 2014

We’ve received some questions about the limited quantities of deals in Online Extravaganza, and we want to let everyone know how it works. You’ll want to get your bundles and door buster deals before they run out–they are limited-time bundles that we put together just for Online Extravaganza, so they won’t be around for long. However, if deals on individual items run out, you can still get them at full retail price after Online Extravaganza deals are gone.

Shine Like Star’s in the Universe …

Posted in ON SALE!, Stampin' Up! card ideas by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I want to share a card with you that I created using my new Banner Blessings stamp set! I also have the weekly deals for you listed below.

Every since the “Banner Blessings” stamp set was released, I knew it was one that I had to have. I shared some samples with you earlier this month (Click Here to view).

I did today’s card in Gold, Vanilla and a whole lot of stars! Many of the items that I used for my card today are currently listed in the Extravaganza!

000_1726

Let’s begin with the background created with the “Lucky Star’s” embossing folder found in the Holiday Catalog. I got to use my new Impressions Boutique machine too!

I knew I wanted to use both the gold glimmer and foil papers with the star’s and create a bigger impact. The foil is attached to the base of the card and the glimmer star is popped up with the dimensionals.

Next … I embossed the greeting twice in gold. I did that so I could cut out the banner and create additional dimension on the card. I cut my Stampin’ Dimensionals in half to pop it up over the greeting and curled the edges of my banner. There is definitely no shortage of dimension on this card.

000_1728

These items are included in the extravaganza … Glimmer Paper – 50% off / Big Shot Magnetic Platform – 40% off / Star Framelit Dies – 20% off until December 2nd.

 I have the full list of ingredients below the “Weekly Deals” …

Posted in Business Opportunity by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Many times you ask “Where do you keep coming up with all these ideas”? Well, the answer is “I am part of a wonderful community of stampers who love to share what they do”. Stampin’ Up! demonstrators!

Today I have some beautiful projects to share with you created by our Global Artisan Design Team members, and this way you can see a different style other than mine ….

For All Things by Teneale WilliamsThis “Hello” card was created by Teneale Williams using the “For All Things” stamp set.

 

For All Things and Gorgeous Grunge by Vicky Hayes

This group of cards was also created using the “For All Things” and “Gorgeous Grunge” stamp sets, and was done by Vicky Hayes. Our Artisans actually submit their work to Stampin’ Up! and are then chosen to be on the Artisan team.

Im Thankful For by Helene Legrand

These sweet bags & tags were created by Helene Legrand using the “I’m Thankful For” stamp set. I have to say … I am thankful for being a part of such a wonderful group of people (not just ladies anymore!).

Yesterday you saw a few of my team members. We have monthly meetings, we have demonstrator retreats, and Stampin’ Up! hosts stamping events! So it’s not hard to find people with the same “love of stamping” as you do.

Think about joining my Star’s group … you can purchase the Starter Kit at 25% OFF. That means you get to choose $125 of product for only $74.25 (and FREE SHIPPING).

The best part, though, is that you get to be a part of an amazing, inspiring team who loves to stamp and who supports one another. There’s no obligation after you join, so what are you waiting for? No questions … CLICK HERE to Join now 🙂

A Simple Tool to Mangage Your Schedule…

Posted in 3-D Projects, Product Wow by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Happy Friday to you … I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to the weekend!

We are all locked into times and dates and such and what better way to manage your busy schedule than a calender. According to Wikipedia; A calendar is a system of organizing days for social, religious, commercial or administrative purposes.

And that’s what I have for you today! I normally don’t share my retreat projects but I had many requests, so here is the calendar our group made at the 2014 Holiday Stampin’ Retreat.

000_1716

This cute little calendar was designed to sit on your desk, kitchen counter or where ever it’s handy for you. I began by choosing my color pallet, and I started with the “All is Calm” Designer Series Paper.

The base is Smokey Slate and the pop of color is the Lost Lagoon. I created the monthly template myself and cut it out for my guests. They were held together by the Candy Dots Brad Bases. We added a Rhinestone and colored it with the Coastal Cabana Blendabilities marker.

000_1714

The piece that holds up the calendar was embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing folder. Since were making calendars, and calendars are about occasions … I chose the “A Fitting Occasion” and stamped the “made by me for you” stamp, and punched it out with the 1″ circle punch. The Soft Sky mat was punched with the 1-1/4″ circle punch.

I finished off the calendar with a banner stating “You Made My Day” … from the “And Many More” stamp set! The calendar was designed to lay flat so it could be mailed … what a cute gift that would be to get in the mail 🙂

000_1715

Hope you enjoyed my project share today. If you are interested in attending an upcoming stampin’ retreat, send me your information and I will gladly add you to my mailing list. We host a Spring (All Occasions) and Fall (Holiday) Retreat.

Our retreats are loads of fun and you not only make cards & projects … you make friends.

Thank you for stopping by Linda’s Stampin’ Escape today.

God Bless and …
