AUGUST WORKSHOP DATES: The August workshops will feature projects using a number of NEW catalog items - and you'll leave with at least 4 cards and a number of new techniques.
August will feature some ways to use the Stampin' Write markers, we'll delve into Crystal Effects, new things to do with the scallop punch...and some other techniques and ideas I have up my sleeve! 'll be back with a sneak peak at the projects very soon!!
Wednesday, August 10 from 6pm-9pm.
Thursday, August 11 from 6pm-9pm.
LOCATION: At my house. There will be snacks and some basic drinks. If you don't already know where it is....you'll get the information when you sign up.
COST: It is $10 to attend (to cover material/workshop costs), and there is no obligation to buy anything. If you do decide to order $20 or more (before s&h), then the workshop is only $5. If you order $30 or more (before s&h) the workshop is free! If you want to make a second set of cards, you also get an add-on pack for an additional $5.
Option #1: $10
Option #2: $5 if you order $20 or more (before s&h)
Option #3: Free! If you order $30 or more (before s&h)
When you RSVP, please let me know which workshop you will be attending (and if you are bringing guests) so that I know how many people to set up for each evening.
You will need to bring: a pair of scissors and your own adhesive. My recommendations are for "dry" adhesives like the Snail Adhesive/ Tombow or Dotto, both available at Joann's, Michaels, Bimart, or Fred Meyer. In my opinion, they are much better for paper crafting then wet glues or glue sticks. I will also have Snail adhesive available to buy at the workshop.

Remember that the items in the Summer Mini Catalog can only be ordered through August 31! Some of the items have been carried over into the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog, but some aren't! So be sure to check if there are others that you still want!

And if you're here, you now know that you can check in on upcoming Workshop dates, Stampin' Up! promotions, ideas and techniques on this new blog site! I hope, over the course of the coming weeks/ months to regularly post card, scrapbook layout, mini album and project ideas featuring Stampin' Up! products. I eventually hope to include technique posts and maybe (maybe!) even some video tutorials!
JULY WORKSHOP DATES: The July workshops will feature projects using a number of NEW catalog items - and you'll leave with at least 4 cards and a number of new techniques. This month we will do some heat embossing, use Stampin' Write markers, and some other coloring techniques.

JULY PROMOTIONS: You can view the new 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog online, or you can purchase one for $5 from me- or it is free with a purchase of $30 or more (before s&h and cannot be combined with other offers) If you join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator in July, you can sign up for a special $99 Starter Kit (valued at $185). Plus, when you sign up in June, you also get a special Christmas keepsake project (valued at $40). Details HERE.
COMING SOON:
Stamp Club: Who is interested in joining a monthly stamp club? If there are at least 6 people interested, then a group could be formed. You would agree to commit to purchasing at least $25 (before s&h) each month for 6 months. One of these months, you would then receive the hostess benefits outlined in the catalog, which will include at least $25 in "hostess dollars." Only hostess dollars can be used on specially priced hostess sets, but you can also use the hostess dollars on other items. I'm also working on some extra incentives- reduced price for workshops/ kit club. Please let me know if this would be something you would be interested in. So far there are only 2 people that are interested- and it doesn't work unless we have more!
Monthly Card Kits: Kits that will include pre-cut paper/ embellishments to make 12 cards and envelopes. They will be designed around a particular stamp set, but could be modified to use other stamp sets. The coordinating ink/ stamp sets will be listed as "add-ons" for each month, and there will be a discount offered for the featured stamp set. Please let me know if this is something you might be interested in...and keep an eye out for details! I'll have a sample at the July Workshop!

Here's something new I'd like to try. This will continue based on the interest that people show for these kits. And exactly how the kit works may change with time as well...depends on what people want, and what works and doesn't work. I know that this first post is VERY late for June...but I have been working on the kit concept, and wanted to post these anyway. I'll make the kit available through the end of July along with the next kit...of course the stamp set will not be available after July 30.

Give me some paper, adhesive, inks, stamps and most importantly, a quiet evening, I can just cruise and make a bunch of cards. I haven’t done this in a long time and it felt SO good. I took a little bit of time to organize some paper/ embellishments in the studio. There is a fair amount of SU product that I have from when I was a demonstrator a couple of years back. With the color renovation that occurred over the last year, there were just enough changes, that I needed to spend some time getting all of my paper and stamps organized so that I know what is still current in the catalog.
I made a bunch of cards, which can be seen in my card gallery. Some highlights...and some of the techniques and ideas will likely make an appearance in workshops in the near future.
[Sentiment from TIme with You (retired set)]
[Bundle of Joy (retired set) Blender Pen technique]
[I used a page from the dictionary as background paper over a piece of Whisper White cardstock]
[Paris in the Spring (retired set) Chalks, Blender Pens, Crystal Effects]
[Time with You (retired set) Chalk technique, blender pens]
I had fun trying out new ideas and ways to use tools and supplies. And in the process I ended up with a TON of cards that I get to keep stored away for whatever occasion I might need.
