NEW CATALOG COMING IN YOUR MAILBOX

HEY BLOGGIES,

Do you want a new 2014-15 Stampin' Up! catalog in YOUR mailbox?  All you have to do is place an order  with me and I will send it out to you,  The order needs to be a minimum of $50 of product (before shipping/tax) and it will be on it's way to YOUR HOME - no charge!!

I have a few of the new items we are allowed to order EARLY as demonstrators and I am so excited to be sharing those with you in the next week or so.

Our new home closing has been postponed by a week so I am still all boxed up in my craft room except for a few items - THE NEW ITEMS.  That is the delay in showing you my new creations with my new goodies.  But I am working on it!!

Here is what the cover of the new catalog looks like.  Look closely and you can see several of the new products we will all be able to order starting in June!!

In the meantime, place your PROJECT LIFE order with me along with anything from the Everyday Occasions or Regular Catalog and I will immediately mail out the NEW CATALOG to you so you can start planning what you would like to purchase.

If you would also would like to hold a NEW CATALOG workshop in June (either locally or by mail), I will have a special FREE GIFT to give you along with your hostess dollars you will earn.

As always, I also send a thank you card made especially for you with each order you submit with me, no matter the amount.

FUN TIME AT THE NEW CATTY OPEN HOUSE

We had a fun time stamping and also drooling over the things we want from the NEW CATALOG that goes live this week on July 1st!!  We laughed so much--especially at Dee who kept dropping the caps to the markers!  Her long nails made it hard for her to put the caps back on and they would pop out of her hands and fly across the room.

WE MISSED YOU!! What happened that you couldn't make it??  Well, I hope you can make it to my next class - a FLIP-FLOP album class.  What is that?  It is a 6 x 6 album you create out of cardstock and the sides flip open and then flop over to show several pages.  It is then decorated with the DSP pack of your choice and stamped and embellished on the cover - all in one class!!  Then you can take your time to lovingly enter your photos into your album and add embellishments of your choice and journal those special memories.  What a wonderful gift this would make for anyone in your life.  I have made mine a grandchild album and am almost finished with all my photos and journaling, embellishments, etc.

The deadline to sign up for this class is July 3rd.  Then  I will order your paper and ribbon for the closing and will get the card stock all cut and scored and ready for you at the class on July 12th.  What could be better than THAT!!  Well, I will tell you what - this class is FREEEEE.  Yep, it is.  All you need to do is order the DSP and ribbon from me and pay for that and I will do all the rest.  Then you arrive fresh and ready to get down to the fun of creating this cute album.  In case you forgot what it looks like I am including some photos below of it. 

Tell next time, inky fingers y'all.

OPEN HOUSE FOR ALL MY LOCAL CUSTOMERS

I AM HAVING A FUN OPEN HOUSE AND NEW CATALOG PARTY FOR ALL MY LOCAL CUSTOMERS.  I HAVE MADE 3 FUN MAKE AND TAKES FOR THEM TO DO.

 I CHOSE THIS PATRIOTIC CARD IN HONOR OF INDEPENDENCE DAY COMING UP.  I USED THE STAR DIE FOR MY BIG SHOT, BRIGHTS BRADS, THE RIBBON PUNCH AND LACED UP CHERRY COBBLER STRIPED BAKERS TWINE THROUGH THE HOLES.  INSIDE WE WILL STAMP THE FLAG A LA CART STAMP FROM THE SUMMER MINI.  NAVY, REAL RED AND DAFFODIL DELIGHT ARE THE CARD STOCK WITH SOME RETIRED BLUE FOR THE DIE CUT STARS.

THIS CARD IDEA ABOVE WAS TAKEN FROM THE ONLINE DEMO SITE FOR OUR STAMPIN DEMONSTRATORS MONTHLY MAGAZINE.  I CHANGED THE STAMP I USED TO THE NEW HOSTESS SET SIMPLY SOFT WHICH IS A 2-STEP STAMP ( I LOVE 2-STEP STAMPS), AS WELL AS THE FIVE NEW IN COLORS BEING INTRODUCED IN THIS NEW CATALOG.  I USED MY DOTTED SCALLOP PUNCH TO MAKE THOSE LAYERS ON THE RIGHT.  I USED EARLY ESPRESSO AND ONE PART OF MY STITCHING WHEEL WHICH I CUT APART TO MAKE INTO SEPARATE STAMPS.  THIS IS THE STITCHING ALL AROUND THE CARD EDGE.  LOOKS PRETTY REAL I THINK.  THEN I USED A CLEARANCE RACK CRUMB CAKE CORDOROY BUTTON WITH ESPRESSO STRIPED BAKERS TWINE TIED ON THE BUTTON.  I AM LETTING THEM CHOOSE THE SENTIMENT THEY WANT INSIDE THEIR CARD.

MADE A CUTE BOOKMARK WITH ALL FIVE OF THE NEW IN COLORS.  CALYPSO CORAL, WISTERIA WONDER, LUCKY LIMEADE, ISLAND INDIGO AND POOL PARTY.  USED THE  BUNDLE OF FLOWERS FROM THE LOAD OF FUN STAMP SET, AND THEN HAND LETTERED THE NAMES OF THE NEW COLORS WITH THE NEW MARKERS.  SPONGED THE EDGES WITH LUCKY LIMEADE AND STAPLED A BIT OF RIBBON AT THE TOP.  ON THE BACK IS ALL MY WEBSITE AND TELEPHONE INFO SO THEY CAN CONTACT ME WHEN THEY NEED SOMETHING.

I HAVE LOTS OF SAMPLES FOR THEM TO LOOK AT AND A WISHLIST FOR THEM TO FILL OUT AS THEY STUDY THE SUPPLES AND STAMP SETS I HAVE AVAILABLE AND AS THEY POUR OVER THE NEW CATALOG.  MY WISH LIST IS VERY VERY LONG!!

PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT TO TELL ME HOW YOU LIKE MY CARDS/MAKE AND TAKES.  I REALLY ENJOY HEARING FROM YOU.

INKY FINGERS Y'ALL.
