Exciting News & Birthday Sale

First for the Exciting News-
So I know I’m really far behind on my post right now but I just had to get on and talk about my exciting news. Before I left for Hawaii I created a Paper Bag Scrap-booking using the Good Friends Stamp Set. I decided I wanted to enter it into the Scrap-booking Class Challenge that Stampin’ Up! was having. I actually stayed up all night the night before Hawaii to finish the instructions and send it in. Well yesterday I got a call and I won. I’m so excited. I was one of four winners and my project was posted today on our demonstrator site. I have entered so many contests and it’s such an honor to finally win. Plus the free stamp set of my choice doesn’t hurt either. What’s even better is today is my Birthday so what a fun Birthday surprise. You can check out all the information about this fun book and how to get your project for just $10.00 by clicking here. Be watching for a special date that I’m going to add where you can come and make this fun project. Just as an added bonus.

Stampin’ Sunday 3-15-09

I made this fun book Sunday Morning. It only took me about an hour and that includes creating it. I was asked to create a paper bag book for a class at church. I really had fun creating this book. I had never created a paper bag book before so this was really fun.

I love that I could have fun pull outs to go with it. I chose the good friend stamp set so that it could be versatile and you could put just about anything with it.

The book has a total of 10 pages plus 3 pullouts that are front and back. I had fun using the in-colors and the good morning sunshine paper. Here is a sample of just one of the page sections.

Since this was already planned for a class and features just one stamp set I am offering it as a project kit or a group class. You will find a list below of everything that is included as well as everything you will need to complete it. You can order this kit to make at home or get a group together and I will come to you. The price for the kit is $10.00. If you have at least 15 kits you will also get hostess benefits and I will give you your kit for free. The stamp set is roughly $33.75 with tax and shipping. Buy it with your kit for an even $30.00. Please contact me by email (andersoncandice@hotmail.com) or phone (435-245-5321) if you are interested.

Thrifty Thursday 3-12-09

We really had fun at club last night doing these great projects using the Circle Cutter. I decided that it was a good one for Thrifty Thursday because the circle cutter can really save you a lot of money. I cuts circles from I think one inch up to 6″ and anywhere in-between. I also love that it cuts rings. I have seen fun papers made with circles and I love that now I can create my own in any color combination that I want. I also love the texture that it adds.

Now I will be honest the circle cutter does take a little practice as they quickly found out at club. However once you get it down I think you will love it as much as I do. It is so smooth and fast. I’ve really enjoyed playing with it and I’m sure I will enjoy it for many years to come. Right now is the perfect time to get this great product because when you by the cutter and the mat plus replacement blades it puts you over $50.00 so you can get a sale-a-bration set. This item has been on back order so you may not be able to order it on-line, however you can place an order through me. Be sure to get your orders in early as I leave on the 20th and won’t be back until the 30th.

I really love how I could use the punches to work with the circle cutter. On this card I punched out the Congratulations (from the new spring mini). I also punched the Chocolate Chip and Old Olive back ground papers. Then I used the circle cutter for the larger Cameo Coral circle.

We also focused on texture on the projects. The Old Olive papers are all textured card-stock. On many of the Chocolate Chip papers we ran them through the big shot using the circle texture plates. It’s hard to see but it really adds to the pages and card.

112531 Glass Mat $19.95

Thrifty Thursday 3-5-09

Here’s a blast from the past. This was the first Scrapbook page I made as a Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator. I used one of our Simply Scrapin’®Kits. I don’t think there is anything (besides paper and inks) that is still available.

I really love the Simply Scrapin’ Kitsbecause they make scrapbooking fast and easy. They come with the stickers, DSP and Cardstock add a few stamps and accessories and you are good to go.

This page really works for Thrifty Thursday because it uses the Stampin’ Pastels® to achieve all the great colors. The chalks are a very economical way to get our wonderful colors. This is a simple technique called poppin’ pastels. It’s actually really easy. All you do is stamp your image using the VersaMark® ink and the apply the chalk. The best way to apply the chalk is with our wonderful sponge daubers.

If you’ve never tried this technique before I encourage you to give it a try. If it’s been a while then it’s a great time to remember it. Here is a list of supplies you will need:
105542 Stampn’ Pastels $24.95
102283 VersaMark Pad $7.50
102892 Sponge Daubers (12) $10.95
Stamp Set of your Choice (Bold sets work the best)

Technique Tuesday 2-17-09

Today I thought I would share with you a cute project that we did at a recent workshop. It you would be interested in doing this fun project at your own workshop give me a call 435-245-5321.

This is a simple technique but I love it. It’s simply looking at a card or scrapbook page and using the layout for the opposite. That means use a scrapbook page layout for a card or a card layout for a scrapbook page. I really love it when I can use the same layout for both.

Here is my example. I used the exact same supplies and lay out to create this fun 3×6 card.

Then I did it as a 6×6 scrapbook page. By moving the stamped image and adding the photo it give it a whole new look.

I really love this concept for a gift because you can make the cute page and them make a matching card.

This is a picture of me with my friend Deborah. She is one of the demonstrators I met at Leadership last year. This picture was taken at Convention when we both earned Hawaii. One of the best parts of becoming a demonstrator has been the friends I’ve made. Weather they are in my down-line or just our group it so awesome because I never would have met them if it weren’t for Stampin’ Up!® If you want to find out more about the benefits of becoming a demonstrator click here.
