40 Days Card Challenge
Today’s card was one Ann made during the 2nd Creativity Experiment last night. I was so excited about making some new friends that I was on my best behavior last night.
Aren’t you proud of me?
Everyone had the opportunity to make a card without seeing the sample card. Ann described the card (without referring to colors) and they weren’t required to make it exactly like Ann described.
In fact, this card wasn’t exactly like the sample and Ann could see the sample!
Quick and Easy Thank You Card
Was someone very nice to you last week? Would you like them to be nice to you again?
I’ll bet you would!
Time to get out the stamps and make a quick card!
Get Punched on Fat Tuesday
We’ve got FIVE things I need to bark about today, so I’ll be brief on each one.
Making Sympathy Cards
Do you feel challenged when you need to come up with a card? We’ve got a fun event to help you with that.
Those of you who are Master Stamper members or Stampin’ Pup Club members or have already shopped this month in our online store should have received your invitation.
This event is so popular that we’ve added a second one on Wednesday evening, 2/18. If you want to get on the list
First Comes Love, then Comes…
First comes love. Then comes marriage.
How was your Valentine’s Day? Because you know what comes about 9 months from now!
And for that, you’ll need a card.
Not Just for Valentines Day
It’s an exciting time here at Central Bark. Last week was Ann’s 16th anniversary with Stampin’ Up!.
Today is Valentine’s Day. (Like you didn’t know that.)
Tuesday is Ann’s birthday. And she’s already received TWO birthday cards! One from Cindy and one from my gal pal Doodles & her mom, Kay.
But today is all about sweet stuff.
How to Make an Easter Basket
Were you hanging out with us last month when we promised to give those of you who used the Hostess Code a free Paper Basket kit?
Well – we changed our mind.
It’s Here!
Do you get as excited as I do when the UPS driver brings your Stampin’ Up! stamps to you?
I’ve been waiting for us to break open this stamp set even before we ordered it! And then last night, we broke out some Blendabilities alcohol markers so we could color it. We even mixed pinks!
I should warn you though – this card…
Winter Snow, Warm Heart
Is it cold where you are? Are you having a Snow Day?
That means like it’s a perfect day to stamp!
Ann’s Yuba City Stamp Club came over last night and made cards in between letting me in & out the patio door and giving me some well deserved pats on the back.
It was grrrreat having them here and Ann even got an early birthday gift!
So this one of their projects would’ve been perfect for Ann to give back.
Why Tuesday is the Best Day Ever!
Tuesday is a grrrreat day! And why do I bark this?
Stampin’ Up! announces their specials they call Weekly Deals
On the 2nd Tuesday, they release a limited edition photopolymer set
Behind the scenes, Stampin’ Up! announces new things to come
But before I get to all that, I must share that…
A Glitter Challenge
I don’t know if it’s really a glitter challenge, but I thought I might scare you if I called it a “Glitter Study”.
We were just playing around with things yesterday and I thought you might like to know what we found out.
First, we were working on some …
Free Project Download
Are you getting our free project downloads that we share with the stampers on our mailing list? We send one out every month – and then weekly during the 12 Weeks leading up to Christmas.
Most months, we send out an easy, time-saving recipe for all of our foodie stampers. And, of course, a private bark about something special all wrapped up in an email in your inbox.
If you’re reading this in your inbox, this is NOT the newsletter.
6 Ideas for Crazy About You Bundle
So we’re going back to share some pictures we should’ve shared earlier – but didn’t. We really like that bundle with the Crazy About You Stamp Set and the Hello You Thinlits Dies.
Here are SIX diferent ideas that Stampin’ Up! shared with Ann when she was at the Founder’s Circle Retreat.
Just click on any picture for a larger view. Please leave a comment at the bottom to let us know which one you like the best.
First, here’s a cool gift tag that’s easy to make with markers.
Is Your Mojo on Sale?
…about that mojo thing…. This is probably the busiest birthday card we’ve ever made. I’m going to tell you that I was asleep while Ann was trying to exercise her creative bone. What WAS she thinking?
Super Bowl Special Ends Today!
Congratulations to the Patriots. Russell Wilson had just another of those moments he’d like to redo.
I think we all have them, don’t we?
Like – I wish I would’ve plugged in Ann’s keyboard to charge while she was gone so she could type this. My paws don’t work so well on her phone so I’m trying to swype my post with my nose.
Barking of redo, here’s a little redo of our own. We added a bit of Glimmer Paper to our swap last week. THIS is the version that we shared with the other swappers.
