It’s Tuesday again and you know what that means!
It means it’s time for Ann to stock up on those Metal Rimmed Pearls! We’re just loving them and hope you do too!
Here’s what else is on sale just in time for Christmas Cards!
And while I’m on the subject, remember that tomorrow we’ll be releasing our…
Stressfree Christmas Tips
Wouldn’t you like to have a stressfree Christmas this year?
Can we help you with that? I think we can.
We’ll get to the list in a minute, but first – did you know that coloring relieves stress? It’s almost as good as meditation!
And here’s the one set Christmas card to make that could help you alleviate stress.
I’m Coming Out!
Yes. I’m coming out! I’m actually a small human in a Jack Russell Terrier body.
Since today’s Coming Out Day, I just thought I’d take this chance to tell you.
And before I give you other unorthodox reasons to give a card this week, I’d like to share a monochromatic Christmas card we made AFTER we adjusted the camera.
Here’s the first version:
Is It Too Soon?
Is it too soon to show Christmas ideas? I’d bark “No!” because we’re already in the 12 weeks before Christmas.
Ann has already sent out 2 cool Christmas projects. And here’s one that *I* picked out.
It’s a gift card presenter – but I’d put dog treats in it.
Or some of you might light to put some chocolate candy in there. (Just don’t get it
Starting My Mojo Late Today
Getting a roof on is like having an earthquake over your head some days.
We are now entering day 3 of the process and they’re shoring up the garage roof so that Ann can put me in my chariot safely.
But when Ann started to assemble my card last night, we discovered that we shouldn’t keep the windows open. There’s a reason why they put all those tarps on the ground and a fine layer of dust is on my card stock!
Right Out of the Box!
Did you get to make some cards this weekend to celebrate World Cardmaking Day? Yes? Great!
Is your answer “No”? Well, here’s a little secret….
Try some of the Stampin’ Up! kits!
There are lots of them on page 152-155 of the Stampin’ Up! catalog. They’ve even got them in the front of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. (Don’t even THINK about the Witching Hat because
Beautiful Gift Box for Cards
How did you celebrate World Card Making Day yesterday? Did you make a card? We actually got together with some Master Stampers for a live online event. Ann broke out the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit to make a quick card and then they all got out their Envelope Punch...
Tall and Skinny Christmas Card
The challenge was to do a tall and skinny card. We decided to make one that fits inside a business envelope.
Not that we will SEND it in once of those flimsy envelopes. We really prefer the luxurious feel of a Stampin’ Up! envelope. But by making this card 3-1/2″ by 6″, we’ll either have to make an envelope (YES!)) or a small business envelope is a perfect fit.
Lighthearted Leaves Card Ideas
September ended with a Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse that made the leaves all start turning wonderful colors. Now we’re kicking off October with some lighthearted leaves to make us start thinking about those Fall holidays.
Halloween has its own look for cards and decorations, but Thanksgiving carries on with a totally different approach.
And while we’re on the subject of Thanksgiving, I’d like to…
12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas Starts Tonight in Your In Box!
Holy moly! Where did the time go? Is it that time already?
It’s time for 12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas in your mailbox!
Many of you have been with us the 10 or so years that we’ve done this. Each year we try to tweak it a little so that it just gets better and better.
Aren’t Tuesday Sales Terrific?
Don’t you just love it? Every Tuesday, Stampin’ Up! gives us a new bunch of cool paper crafting accessories (and sometimes stamps) to get for at LEAST 25% off.
And this week is no different.
What Was I Thinking?
What was I thinking? Ann was definitely not reading my pup-o-graphic messages when she typed my barks.
Our inspirational list to show unique days to give your loved ones cards is a normal SUNDAY feature. Instead, Ann shared it on Saturday.
What was she thinking?
Have You Started Yet?
Have you started your Christmas cards yet? Now would be a good time to get your Christmas groove on.
That way, you won’t need to be jumping around like a Jack Russell during those last few weeks.
Why is it a good time to pick your stamps, ink and paper for your Christmas cards?
Card Fit for a Star
What do you give someone who’s given you a really nice gift. Not just any gift. A handmade gift.
And not just any handmade gift. One that they had to invest and learn a new craft to make.
What do you think this gift is that warrants a special thank you card?
It was a handmade…
Oh, What Fun We Had!
It was a grand day yesterday!
120mo-BigShotCecilI got to train my favorite huMAN how to squeeze 2 big circles out of a half sheet of card stock.
(He already knew how to use it. It was the SQUEEZE quotient.)
.
I had two of my best ball throwers here for a card class (and others I like too, but it was the two of my BEST ball throwers).
.
We broke out some new stamp sets from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog to play with for the card class.

And I’m STILL…
