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!)
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.
