Ann Clemmer, Guest Blogger
Hi Stamper & Stampers!
Thank you so much for sharing our ideas while I’m hanging out with some of the best stampers in the world, Stamper.
Where is Ann Clemmer?
Where in the world is Ann Clemmer?
Here’s the she sent me! Ann must’ve been asleep when she sent this too me. She left my paw in the middle! Can you read it?
Masculine Valentine Card
Do you love this? I sure do! It’s a merging of the minds about how I feel about Ann & my favorite huMAN.
Snuggles & Smooches Sale
What’s your favorite color for Valentines Day? When you think of kisses and smooches, what color do you think of?
Well, it’s REAL RED, of course!
Well, it is for those of us here at Central Bark.
And if you’re looking for a modern Valentine’s card with traditional colors to mass produce, this is it.
Jungle Valentine
keep barking, “Have you started your Valentine cards yet?” I hope you have because we’re getting a bit of a slow start here at Central Bark.
We start Christmas cards really early because we send so many. But we send a lot of Valentines too!
Because Valentine cards are more emotional, we don’t make them all the same. Do you?
So, here’s my jungle version of a Valentine Card.
Free Stamps Stamp Better
We’ve got some other surprises planned. Keep tuning in to see. The Lotus Blossom stamp set is new and unique because it’s actually a 3 step stamp set. Until now,they’ve maxed out at 2 step stamping.
Have you been looking for an excuse to send a card this week? Here are a few.
Same Supplies, Different Card
How do you feel about leftovers? I’m not talking about dinner. (And there’s NEVER any leftovers of MY dinner!)
I’m talking about bits of things that you’ve stamped and didn’t use.
Did you watch yesterday’s video? We showed you the main circle stamped in Aquamarine Chalk Ink. We couldn’t just leave it alone so we remade the card with the leftovers.
How to Use Chalkboard Paper Video Tutorial
Have you tried the new Stampin’ Up! Chalkboard Paper that is featured in the latest Occasions Seasonal Catalog? It is awesome when used with the Chalk Ink Pads!
Here’s the card that we made last night.
Same Mojo – Different Valentine
What do you love most about making handmade cards? One of the things I like is that we can make a card in our friends’ favorite color.
But another good thing is that you can use the same layout for different cards and the a totally different use.
We used the same mojo to make yesterday’s card that you can see here. But today, we’ve got a totally different look!
Same layout and Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack, but different colors, Framelits and stamps.
Masculine Mojo Valentine
Have you made a Valentine card for your sweetie yet? When you do make it, you’ll want to make sure to have some mojo in it! We’re featuring a Valentine card today that could go for a man or a woman.
So I’m going to seek your advice – should I give it to Ann or to my favorite huMAN?
It’s made with Ann’s favorite color – Real Red, but it’s got strong bold lines that men appreciate.
Another Spring Wedding Card
Were you loving that Spring Wedding Card we shared yesterday? That one could be used as an anniversary card as well.
This one, on the other paw, could be for a birthday! Or a thank you for having you over to a party! Or a new baby!
Spring Wedding Card
It may be cold out now, but do you have a wedding coming up in the spring?
We do!
We don’t get a lot of wedding card stamp sets because most everyone we know is married. But the Your Perfect Day stamp set is a little more versatile than most:
The cake (sans lovebirds) can be used for a birthday
Using the pick & omit method with a marker, the Congrats could be used for something else
Don’t you LOVE the circle of leaves?
Stamp Club!
Oh, what a night they had at Stamp Club here at Central Bark last night!
Perhaps I should start at the end where Linda plied everyone with her individual chocolate desserts. Here she is fixing one for Ann since I wasn’t allowed anywhere near anything that decadent.
New Stamps & Free Kit
You may already know that we send you a free reusable card to thank you for shopping online with us.
And you may already know that we include a gift with your card when you use our current Hostess Code or spend over $150. (Best place to find the current code is in the right side bar or by starting your shopping experience at stamperdog.com/shop.)
But this time, we’re giving a kit! You’ll be able to test drive Stampin’ Up!’s Berry Basket Die & the new Bow Builder Punch.
Get Your Butterfly Basics Here
Don’t you love butterflies? I think everyone does.
At least I hope you do.
Ann didn’t finish this card at the swap last week. Instead, she brought it home and finished it her own way. The card was already stamped, but we double layered it and chose a different base layer.
Does it look okay to you?
