Our 24/7 Guest Stamper’s Been Published!
We’re back to that swap for the 24/7 Stampers who went to the Stampin’ Up! Convention in July.
I shared the first swap in this post. This time it’s Valory Degree’s turn to be our 24/7 Guest Stamper with our Swap using the Amazing Birthday stamp set.
24/7 Guest Stamper Karen Thomas
Have you ever participated in a swap? Last month, about a dozen of our Virtual Demonstrator Community, the 24/7 Stampers, attended the Stampin’ Up! Convention in Salt Lake City. Perhaps you saw their picture in this post.
Everyone who attended got the Amazing Birthday stamp set for free in their choice of wood mount or clear mount. So Ann & I sponsored a swap so all the 24/7 Stampers could share their ideas.
Our first card to share is from Karen Thomas from Pennsylvania. Karen’s been a member of our 24/7 Stampers Virtual Community for two years.
A Surprise Card in Our Mailbox
We never take a card in our mailbox for granted. Sometimes Doodles sends me a card. Sometimes Lynda or Carol does as well. (Our address is at the bottom of all our emails.)
It sure is nice to get a card in your mailbox, isn’t it?
Yesterday, we got one from Denise with a $25 Stampin’ Up! gift certificate in there because I’m such a hard working dog. And this is it.
Get Your Left Handed Card Ready!
My Facebook friend, Sharon, mentioned on my Facebook page that she would like to know unique holidays in advance so she could prepare for them.
So since you mentioned it, Sharon, I barked to Ann that she should come up with something early for you. And I hope that you all will find this inspiration helpful.
Wednesday is International Left-Handers Day. And what left handed friend wouldn’t want to find THIS in their mailbox!
VIDEO: How to Make an Easy & Elegant Birthday Card
We’re rolling out another how-to video to show you how to make an easy and elegant 21st Birthday Card in just two minutes!
Once you’ve seen this easy & elegant birthday card, just scroll down for the measurements and supply list so you can make it too!
This would make a great masculine card, but since Ann’s favorite color is red, I think it would work for her too. I’m just not certain about what number.
And I’m not asking either!
Stampin’ Up! Blendabilities and Free Stamps
You can’t beat free stamps. Well, that is unless you color those free stamps with new Stampin’ Up! Blendabilities alcohol markers.
They are enough to make me bark out loud!
The more you use them, but better they look – like with this free
Get Well Decoder Card
You seem like a pretty bright person. I’ll bet that you don’t need a special decoder to figure out what the featured initials mean.
Do you?
Maybe THIS is the card we should’ve sent my gal pal Doodles’ mom yesterday. We could send her two, you know.
Then she would feel especially special.
And you know how you shoppers are. It would really up the ante for her to know that
Koala Blendabilities
Isn’t it nice to get a card in the mail that someone’s sent to you to help you feel better? A card when you feel down or maybe a little sick is perfect.
Today’s card is one I told Ann that she MUST do for two reasons:
My gal pal Doodles’ mom is having eye surgery today and
She could practice using her Blendabilities
And I think she did a good job for her first time with that little Koala Bear. See how easy it is? You can
Quick & Easy Christmas Card
You’ve got to start somewhere and this easy Christmas card is a good place to start.
It only takes one stamp set – the Bright and Beautiful stamp set which is on special right now. You’ll get the bundle with the Stars Framelits free when you purchase a Big Shot OR for 15% off when you buy the bundle on its own.
Happy Birthday Blendabilities!
Happy birthday, Torre! We hope you like this card when you get it in a few days.
We even used a new technique with the Blendabilities Markers to make the Daffodil Delight sun rays with the Kinda Eclectic stamp set.
First, Ann embossed it with Whisper White Craft Ink Pad and White Powder. Then she…
Tuesday Special Man Card
Yes, it’s Tuesday and time for the Weekly Deal. We even previewed one of the items in this post last week.
But first, we figured that it’s about time we shared a Masculine Card with you. And this one was given the seal of approval by my favorite huMAN.
I even put it out on Instagram to make sure that putting glitter on a masculine card was acceptable.
It is. And this is what I came up with.
Cards for a Photography Buff
Do you like to see more than one idea for a stamp set or accessory that you own? I do. So we’re tag teaming a couple items used in yesterday’s post and bringing them to today’s project:
Flower Patch stamp set
Chevron Embossing Folder
We used both those items that you can see here in yesterday’s post, but the outcome is so different!
Copy & Share Everything
Ever have a hard time coming up with an idea? Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators have a thing they do called CASEing. That’s where they share ideas and copy each other.
That doesn’t mean that you make it exactly the same and today’s card is very different than Marci’s original.
Marci is a demonstrator in our 24/7 Stampers community AND she’s a member of our Master Stampers community too. Ann will be sharing some of her cards in today’s Master Stamper along with over 40 other cards. You’ll be able to see the card that inspired us.
Master Stamper and Pup Club members are invited, but you can get in this one even if you’re not a member
Polka Dot Card Video Technique
As soon as Ann saw this little Polka Dot idea that Lydia shared at convention, Ann called me. She just knew that she had to come make it.
You see. We have friends who are CRAZY for polka dots! almost sounds like Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!
Here’s what Ann and I came up with the other night after she came home from the Stampin’ Up! Convention.
50% off Paper Pumpkin!
Have you been wanting to try out the Stampin’ Up! kit service called Paper Pumpkin? Well, if you’ve never tried it before, NOW’S the time to try it when you can get your first two months for half price!
Half Off Paper Pumpkin
We did a webinar for our recent clients, Master Stampers and Pup Club members last night. I even did a walk on part in the beginning for my raving fans. They just love to see the real me! They saw 48 cards and got some tips on Blendabilities storage as well as new stuff that’s not yet released in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Seasonal Catalog.
