Convention 12 x 12 Group 2

I’m finally finding some time to get to then next cute set of Convention swaps.  Hope you enjoy them.

This was created by Jessica Hiltz.  It’s such a fun and easy layout, but it’s so cute.  I really love the color combination as well.

#116716 Animal Stories $15.95
#111254 Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel $8.50

Sorry I don’t know the awesome creator of this page.  It uses one of my favorite Designer Series Papers.  It’s perfect for just about anything from a fun spring pages to and awesome family page.  You can even turn the pages around or switch sides to make it work for you.

#117163 Elegant Soiree DSP $9.95
#115778 Circle Circus $28.95
This set is also available for MDS

This page just screams summer to me and I love it.  It was created by Becky Kittaka.  The color combination’s are so fun and have so much energy it just brightens your day to look at it.  You can’t see it, but the summer fun die cuts are embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Folder.  It really adds a lot to the page.

#117168 Play Date DSP $9.95
#119747 Brights Designer Buttons $8.95
#115960 Alphabet Simple Letters Dies $89.95
#117335 Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders $7.95

My totally terrific up-line Brandi Barnard created this darling page.  I love how simple it is.  She even created the girl bear so we could switch it out if we need too.  Of course I will most likely keep it the boy since I have all boys, but I can sure turn the cute little bear into a fun card.  What you can’t see of course is that she used crystal effects on the balloons to make them all shinny.  It’s so cute.

#119278 Basic Birthday Die $21.95
#118052 Beary Best Friends $18.95

Doesn’t this page just make you happy.  I love it.  It just makes me smile.  It was created by my good friend Ashley VanCamp.  She’s so talented.  I love that she used the new owl punch.  It’s so cute.

Funky Four
#113738 Wood $14.95
#120438 Clear $11.95

#118974 Large Owl Punch $16.95

There’s two more sets to go so be sure to watch for them.  If you would like to recreate any of these let me know I’d be happy to help you with any of the supplies you need.

I’m so excited I had to share!

I’m super excited and just had to share my good news with you.

Stampin’ Up! was having a contest to help us get inspired to earn the Disney World trip this year.  So they decided to have a Disney contest.  All you had to do was create something Disney and then post it on our group website Stampin’ Connection, which is like a facebook for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators only.

Of course I just had to enter and today I found out that I won.  There were over 250 entries and I was picked as one of the five winners.  I also got a free stamp set of my choice so I’ve been walking on air all day.

Anyway I thought I would share with you the 5 projects that I entered.

This is my fun Disney sign to keep me inspired.  All of the fun characters are made with punches.

I had a friend request for me to make a Donald Duck out of punches so I thought the contest was the perfect opportunity.

This one is a little different.  It’s a giant Genie that I have on my back door.  He’s holding our dream board.  I drew him, but I colored him with the Stampin’ Up! water-color pencils.  Oh and yes I do know that I spelled command wrong.  I just through it in the picture on Photo shop and didn’t notice till later.  It will be correct when I add it to the door.

You’ve probably seen this one before it was a page that I entered in my first Artisan Award Contest.

Last is the winning card.  This is my Goofy card which you’ve probably seen before.  His all made with punches.  I actually made him for a swap a few years back.

Thanks for sharing my excitement with me.  I hope you enjoyed my projects.

Remember that there’s still plenty of time to join me and earn the Disney trip together.  Plus there is the Totally-Awesome tote that you get for free when you sign up before 18th.  Contact me today for more information.  435-245-5321

PS-
I was thinking that I would give away 5 of these fun cards. To win all you have to do is help me get to 50 fans on my “Stampin With Candice page” on Facebook.  All you have to do is go to my page by clicking on the link and select like, then invite your friends to like my page too.  Then leave me a comment. I will choose 5 winners when I get to 50 fans and I’ll mail them out to you. Thanks so much for your support and for helping me to spread the word.

Covention Swaps 12 x 12 group 1

Sorry I’ve been missing in action we’ve had internet problems and I’ve had camera issues, but I’m back and with some fabulous swaps form convention. The last group I did was 12 x 12 pages. There were actually two group for this one. Because there are so many I’m going to break them up in 4 groups. So enjoy!

There is no particular order here and I will try and let you know who did each one (hopefully they are all marked.)  Thanks again to everyone who participated all of the pages are great.   I’ve already used some for Club and I’m looking forward to adding pictures to them.

First up is mine.  I used the awesome Awash with Flowers Set.  It’s hard to tell but the flowers are done with a fun technique that gives you a water color look even though it’s a solid stamp.

#120549 Clear $ 27.95

Word Play
#120308 Wood $41.95

Is this page just cute or what.  I love it.  It was created by Shelly May.  I love the colors and the overall layout.  Plus how cute is the cogs punch.  I’m so glad that they put it in the catalog.

Party this way
#118744 Wood $15.95
#120609 Clear $11.95

This page is so fun and so cute.  In fact I used it for club last month.  With just one change.  Her cute sand is actually made with real sand paper.  I created it with the awesome log cabin spray.  I just love all the fun punch art on this page as well.  It was created by Natalie Cottle.

Punches used:
#119856   Scallop Oval  $16.95
#119856   1-1/4″ Square  $15.95
#119850 1-3/4″ Circle  $16.95
#119869 1/2″ Circle  $5.95
#119872 Spiral Boarder $15.95

#119871 3/16″ Corner $6.95

Can I say I’m in love.  This page is adorable.  It was made by Melanie Williams and she would say it’s a little Cheese.  I would have to agree.  The cheese is so cute I love how easy it is to make just using all of our different circle punches.  Plus doesn’t the hamburger just look good enough to eat.  She even added texture to the bun by using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

#117335 Perfect Polka Dots $7.95

On the Grill
#116970 Wood $23.95
#120474 Clear $17.95

The last fun page for today was created by Deanne Henderson.  I love how simple it is yet very I catching.  There’s so much detail in all the flowers.  Off course they were created with our great punches again.  What you can’t see very well is the fun Rhinestones in the center of the small flowers.  With 150 per package it’s so easy to add fun bling to your page.

#119246 Basic Rhinestones $4.95

#119831 Sunny Garden DSP $9.95

#117158 In Color Patterns DSP Stack $19.95

January & February Club

So I realized I’ve been a bit behind in my blog posting lately.  Sorry life has been crazy.  I thought I would share with you the fun projects we’ve done at club the last two months.  I will be having a Club Discovery on Saturday March at 11:00 am.  This is a great time to come and check out what club is all about.  Bring a friend and I will have a free gift for you.

With my clubs you have two options for regular club members.  You can sign up for the Scrapbook pages where you will make a 12 x 12 double page layout.  Last month we made this fun home page using the sale-a-bration items.

In January we made this fun Love page.  The club members were able to try out the fun build-a-bear die cut products we have.  That’s one of the great things about club.  Not only to you get to try some of our great products before you buy them I will also teach you how to use them.

The other options for my regular club members is to make cards.  Card club members make two each of two different cards.  That way you will always have one you can keep and one you can give away.  I usually try to make one of the cards match the page.  This way you have ideas on how versatile our products are and you get the chance to do the same technique.  In February we made these two fun cards. 

I got all of my Sale-a-bration sets & hostess sets  in the clear mount so club members were able to try these new stamps and see which style fit them best.

In January they made these two great cards.

Sometimes I will have a bonus project for all of the club members to make.  In Jaunuary they didn’t make these, but I made them and gave them to each new club member.  They cover a calendar so they can keep track of all the fun events I have going on.

As a regular club member you agree to spend $15.00 each month (before shipping and tax) on Stampin’ Up! products of your choice.  Each member gets one month that they receive the hostess benefits.  Plus they get a Stampin’ Up! catalog for free.  Click here to check out the contract.

Club is held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at my home (no need to clean yours.)  You can also chose to be  a Saturday member.  This club meets just 4 times during the year (once a quarter) and will make the projects for the three previous months.  You still place your order every month.

The last option is called an alternative club member.  There is no obligation with this membership.  You can come anytime you like you just have to let me know at least 2 days in advance.  You can choose to pay for your projects $5.00 or you can place a $25.00 order and it’s free.  This is great if you can’t come every time, but still want to join in when you can.  You also get a punch card that will help you to earn free products as well.

So what are you waiting for.  Come and enjoy a girls night out and check out club.  Contact me today to join 435-245-5321 or 435-232-2655.  E-mail me today at andersoncandice@hotmail.com

There will be a special project for anyone that comes to the Club Discovery on Saturday the 20th.  Current club members are invited to come and bring guests.  If you decide before then that you want to join club you can come and make up the previous month projects on this Saturday.  Just let me know in advance.  You can pay $5.00 for each month or place a $15.00 order for each month.  Remember that it’s still Sale-a-brations and I will add all three months together for new club members so $5.00 can earn you a sale-a-bration set.

I’m looking forward to seeing you there.

New Club Starting in January

Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know that I have a new club starting in January.  It will be on January 13th.  I have two times available.  Daytime is from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm or evening from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.  I also have a Saturday Club which will meet once a quarter from 10:oo am – 3:00 pm to make the projects.

Each month you will get to make a project (either a 12 x 12 double page scrapbook layout or 4 cards).  Plus one of the months you will get to be the hostess and receive all the hostess benefits.  All you need to do is make a commitment to spend $15.00 each month on Stampin’ Up! products of your choice.

Not sure about the commitment?  You can come to club anytime without joining all you have to do is let me know a week in advance.  I charge $7.00 for the projects if you are not a club member (free for club members.)  Or they are free with a $25.00 order.  However if you have never been to club you can come and check it out one month for free.

Click here for the Contract and all the details.

Here’s the fun projects we made last month.

I taught them how to make fun snow globes and how to use our great glitter with less mess.  Here is the snow globe on a card.

Here is how in incorporated the snow globe into the scrapbook pages.  I usually like to make the scrapbook page match one of the cards so you can see how versatile our products can be.  It’s also a great way to start to learn how to take card ideas and turn them into scrapbook pages and scrapbook pages into cards.

My card members always make two each of two different cards.  That way you have one to keep and one to give away.  Here was the second card they got to make.  This time we used window sheets for the snow globe instead of the glitter.

Sometimes I throw in a bonus project for everyone.  I just had to play with our fun pop-up christmas tree die.  This is the outside of the card.

Now here’s the inside with the tree popping up. 

So much fun.

I hope you will join me this month.  I’m going to extend one of my promotions for this month only.  If you sign your contract this month then I will give you a free snail.  You will be able to keep it my house so you can use it on all your club projects. 

Here’s a sneak peek of the fun projects we will be making this month.  You will just love it I promise.  So come and check it out.

Click here to see some of our past club projects.

Remember to let me know ASAP if you are planning to come.  You can call me at 435-245-5321 (home) or 435-232-2655 (Cell) leave a message, or e-mail me at andersoncandice@hotmail.com.   Please feel free to bring a friend.  I will have a free gift for both of you and if your friend joins you will get $5.00 in Free product.
