Happy Birthday to Me!
Yes, today is a big day! Today I turn 9! And it's been a wonderful 8-1/2 years with you! (Ann started the blog on my 6th month birthday.) I'm going to try and make this a quick bark because I've decided that Ann should take me out for something special today. I've...
Get Well Soon Card
When my favorite huMAN got sick, our 24/7 Stamper Karen got busy and made ALL of us handmade cards. You’ll see my birthday card tomorrow to celebrate my birthday, but today, I’ll show you the shaker card she made to wish my favorite huMAN to get well soon.
Sending Our Sympathy Card
Isn’t it sad to hear when a friend as lost a loved one? Is it hard for you to make a card for them? Or do you find it helpful for you to work through your sadness?
In our house, we like to make them as we go, but that can sometimes slow down the process so that the card doesn’t arrive as fast as what we’d like.
If that’s the case or if it’s hard for you, here’s a card you can make in advance and…
Halloween Card Re-Do
Have you ever made a card and immediately thought that something could be better? That happens to me and Ann too.
In fact, it happened with yesterday’s card. You can see it here.
Now that you’ve seen it, please look at this one and let us know which one you like better.
2 Step Pumpkin Stamps
Do you have a hard time carving a face on your pumpkin? Do you dread Halloween because of the mess of pumpkin carving?
It is so easy to paint a smile on the pumpkins on your Halloween cards with a Stampin’ Up! 2-step stamp set like Fall Fest. I was so happy to see that Stampin’ Up! came out with another pumpkin set that we can paint faces on. I just can’t bark enough praises!
But THIS one has a matching framelit set so you don’t have to fussy cut. AND you can save 15% when you buy the bundle together.
Ann’s so out of practice with her sponging that I did it for her. I hope I wasn’t too heavy pawed.
Free Exclusive Stamp Set
Yes, I’m barking about a free stamp set that you won’t see just anywhere. And it’s so easy to get! Just place a $300 order! OR ask Ann to assign you a special Hostess Code and you can add all your friends orders together for a $300 silent party.
Either way, here’s the cool set that you’ll be getting.
Tomorrow’s a Big Day!
Yes, tomorrow’s a big day for several reasons. Yesterday was a big day because it was National Dog Day. For those of you who think I didn’t celebrate – think again. Ann broke me out of the doggy spa and gave me LOTS of hugs and kisses.
But tomorrow….
Christmas of a Different Color
What color Christmas cards do you like to make? Traditional red and green? Silver and blue?
This Christmas card is made with some of the Stampin’ Up! In Colors: Coastal Cabana; Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding.
It was a toss up whether to feature the
It’s a Baby Shower!
When’s the last time that you went to a baby shower. Ann hasn’t been to one in years, but she went to a special one yesterday.
The first time mom was very pretty and happy.
A Bit Too Much Color?
Have you ever heard the saying that “everything old is new again”?
Well, it’s really true!
Years ago, there was a technique called
Pet Sympathy Card
No one likes to lose their pet. And none of the rest of us want to make those cards.
And I CERTAINLY hope Ann doesn’t have to get one any time soon either!
But since the Square Collection Framelits are on sale for 25% off this week, I thought that this would be a grrrrreat card to share with you. and I’ll show you a few steps to help you do what I told Ann to do.
Unique Shape Thank You Card
Well, before I show you the card, Ann & I just have to thank you for all the nice thoughts and prayers you’ve shared while my favorite huMAN was in the hospital. He escaped yesterday and I was so glad to see him!
Ann took me over to “the big house” one night. I guarded the car for about 15 minutes while she ran some costume changes in for him. Probably a toothbrush too for all I know.
When she came back she let me smell his pants. She said my face looked shocked and I’m not surprised. I thought she got rid of him and his pants were all that was left!
You would be shocked too!
So here’s our thank you card for some special someones. We used the Big Shot and the Oval Accent Bigz Clear Die to get its unique shape.
Embedded Paper Video
Before we get to our Embedded Paper Video, I promised that I on Sundays I would peruse the special card days coming up so you could send cards to your friends for a real special touch.
I never mentioned that today was Mail Order Catalog Day, but it sure does make it a good time to remind you to be on the lookout for our Stampin’ Up! Holiday Seasonal Catalog in your mailbox this week. (I haven’t gotten the one Ann mails me yet.)
I’m not going into Wednesday being World Mosquito Day. GRRR! But here are a few that could warrant the appropriate card:
Hug Your Humans Today
Here is how my Thursday started. Ann got up early for some training. (She likes to make sure I’m up on the latest.)
The UPS man came. We tore open the box which is filled with cool stuff from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Seasonal Catalog. Doesn’t all that stuff look great? I don’t know where to start!
Look for our Sweet Treat Product Shares offering from the Holiday Seasonal Catalog soon.
24/7 Guest Stamper, Marci Long
Marci is our last guest stamper this week from our 24/7 Stampers. Marci lives in Allen, Texas and is a retired school teacher. She’s been a valued member of our 24/7 Stampers Demonstrator Community for a little over 2 years.
If you want something stamped right, Marci is your girl. In fact, I think she probably participated in the swap just to disguise the fact that she’s sending me an early birthday card. (I’m sure that’s why she put SURPRISE on the front!)
