Samples – Page 50 – Stampin' With Candice

Freewheeling Friday 1-2-09

I’m getting ready for leadership and I decided to pull out the swaps I had for leadership last year. I know that the DSP is retired on this page, but the stamp set is still current and I just thought it turned our really cute.

I pick this page for Freewheeling Friday because I did actually use a wheel on it. You will notice that I wheeled across one of the small squares with the Whimsy Jumbo wheel #109688. I used the Garden Whimsy stamp set #109290 for $23.95. You can find these on pages 92 & 93 of the current catalog.

My inspiration for the page came from the Spring/Summer ’08 catalog. I used the layout on page 131 and the colors from page 96. I really loved how it turned out. The second page was inspired from a little help from up-line Mindy. The pictures are of my husband Marc and I at convention in Denver 2007. Xander (my baby) was just 3 week old when we went. This is the pajama-stamp-a-ram. We had so much fun. If you would like to join in the fun I would love you to join my team. I’d be happy to give you more information just send me an e-mail.

Next time you are having a hard time trying to find a layout be sure to check out our catalogs. They always inspire me. I save everyone of them and remember to pre-order your new Spring/Summer ’09 catalog today. Click here for more info.

Kits of the Month-Jaunary

Some of you many have noticed that I have the new January Card kit of the monthup. I’ve also decided to add 2 new types of monthly projects. I’ve added the page of the monthand the project of the month.

Just like the card kits you will get all of the consumable products you need such as paper, ribbon and some accessories. I will be featuring one stamp set in each of the different kits. You can always get this set on sale with the purchase of the monthly kit.

In addition I’ve added a Kit Night. This will be the last Thursday of each month. This is a night that you can come and use any of my products to complete your monthly kits. If you have loved the monthly kits, but are missing several of the products and just can’t afford them this is the best place to get them all done. You must pre-order your kit by the 15thof each month in order to attend the kit night. You can still order any of the kits by the 25thof each month and pick them up later or have them shipped (additional charge).

You can see more information about each kit and the current kits by clicking here. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Here is a preview of the kits for this month. Click on any of them to go directly to that kit.

I hope you will enjoy this new program and take advantage of it. I’m not the one that designs the card kits but I will be doing the other two so if there is any set that you would love to see featured please let me know.

I just want to quickly clarify. This is a different program than my monthly club. There is no commitment simply pick the ones that you want to do and let me know before the cut off date.

Thrifty Thursday 1-1-09

Wow I can’t believe it’s a new year already. I hope that all of you had a great holiday and that your new year is full of blessings. To start of the new year I decided to show a very versatile stamp set. This one is on my wish list especially after making these cards at Brandi’s meeting. I think they were created by Ashley Vancamp, but I’m not positive. If anyone knows please let me know so I can give her proper credit.

Post update- Thanks Megan she did confirm that the’s cute cards were made by Ashley.

The set is Best Wishes & More #111602 for $26.95. You can find it in the current catalog on page 55. This set is a great value because each of the 5 images can represent different seasons or be used for just a general card. I love it because it also comes with sayings which adds extra value. You can create so many different types of cards and projects with just one set.

This card is a really great one just to let someone know how much you appreciate them. It uses the Hawaii Papaya DSP #112460 for $9.95.

I also love designer series papers because they give you a color pallet. You can see on the couldn’t do card it was so easy to choose the colors. She just matched the Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip and Tangerine Tango that was in the paper.

If you ever wonder which colors are in the paper they are listed in the description. Sometimes I am surprised at a color combination that I find in a set of designer series papers. I probably would have never thought to put them together that way, but they always look great. If you are struggling for an color pallet just give one of these papers a try.

I really love the ready set snow card. We put glitter on the snowflakes so it sparkles. I believe this card uses the Junior Varsity DSP #112458.

Our designer series papers are also a great value. They are double sided so you get lots of verisitily. When making cards one package goes along way.

They are also great for scrapbooks because all you need is a little bit to add the extra touch any page would need.

As a special bonus for reading my blog let me know that you saw this when you place your order and I will give you this great set for just $24.26 (plus tax & shipping), or any designer series paper for just $8.95 (plus tax & shipping). Just let me know you want the Thrifty Thursday special. Hope you have a great day and give this awesome set a try. Click here to place your on-line order.

Wacky Wednesday 12-31-08

This is the fun Christmas Topper that I made. I made one for each of my down-line and filled the bags with goodies for their business. I thought they were cute and really easy.

I used the snow swirled set with the Big Shot Snowflakes. The bag is actually a larger one than Stampin’ Up! sells because I wanted to put 8 1/2 x 11 paper in them. The top is made with a 1/2 a sheet of 12×12 paper and scored 4″ down. Then I cut a slit in the top for the handle so that I would just slip the topper over the bag after it was filled.

If you ever need a quick gift idea try a topper they are so easy and so cute.
