Wacky Wednesday 1-28-09

Thanks so much to all of you who made it to my open house.  I had a great time and I hope you did too.  For those of you who couldn’t make it here is some of the fun you missed.  Maybe next time you will be able to join in the fun.

good-friend-2468-box

Because it was and open house and there was no official hostess to give a gift to and my prize drawing was for the hostess benefits I decided to give each guest a special gift for coming.  Each guest received one of these fun Good friend boxes and each was filled with a different surprise gift.  Once again I used the new Good Friends Stamp Set #113740 $28.95 and the fun new Petal Pizzazz #113417 $32.95.

just-bee-card-envelopeThen each guest had the opportunity to create 2 fun make and takes.  The first used the set Just Buzzin’ By #113228 $27.95.  This is one of my favorite new stamp sets.  We made a card and a matching envelope.  It’s hard to see but the card says “just buzzin’ by to say…”  Then on the inside it says “have a honey of a day!  We also stamped a cute flower on the inside.

valentines-treat-bagThe second project used the wonderful big shot top not die #113463 $21.95 and some of the products from the Love you Much Bundle #115405 $41.48.  We used the heart to Heart Punch #113694 $15.95 and the Love You Much Stamp Set #113756 $25.95.  The Bundle also includes the Candy Lane DSP#113980 $9.95 which I love so much that I didn’t have enough left to use.  If you bought these products separately they would be $51.85 but you can save 20% on the bundle for just $41.48 through the end of Januray.  Hurry fast time is running out.

My guest also had the chance to check out my retired sets for sale, earn chances to win the hostess benifits, visit with old and new friends and have a little bit of chocolate.  We had a great time.  I still have lots of sets for sale you can check them out by clicking here.  Be sure to check out the great specials I have going along with them.

Hostess Drawing

nf-grand-prizeSo I was cleaning up the other day getting ready for my open house.  I realized I still had the grand prize from Novemberfest that was never claimed.  So here’s your chance to get the basket with over $100.00 worth of product.  It’s really simple all you have to do is host a party.  I will be giving out tickets to all the hostess and I will draw one winner.  Because I have different dates I want to book here is the different tickets you can earn:

Book and in-home party in:

February (during sale-a-brations & bootcamp): 15 tickets
March (during sale-a-brations): 10 tickets
April (new mini catalog): 12 tickets

Book a class party:

February: 10 tickets
March: 7 tickets
April: 7 tickets

Book a Catalog Party:

February: 7 tickets
March : 10 tickets
April: 7 tickets

nf-gift-aGuest Bonus:  I still have two of the smaller prizes.  So for each guest that places an order (this can be you as well, when you place a personal order besides the hostess benefits)  I will put their name in for a drawing for the 2 other gifts.  They will get one ticket for ordering and one ticket for every $25.00 they spend.  During sale-a-brations they could get 2 tickets for placing a $50.00 order plus a free sale-a-bration set.

nf-gift-cTickets are worth different values because of Sale-a-brations and when I will be gone to Hawaii (earned all expenses paid through Stampin’ Up!.  If you’d like to learn how to earn your own trip contact me today.)  I’m also extending it to April so I’m ready to go when I get back.  This offer is good for any of my parties and their guest.   You can check out my available party dates by clicking here.  Or you can email me at: andersoncandice@hotmail.com.   I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

best-wishes-stamp-set1The 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.

without-you-leavesThis 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.

ready-set-snowI 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.
