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.

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.

Wacky Wednesday 12-31-08

christmas-bag-topperThis 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.

Freewheeling Friday 12-26-08

I really wanted to try the Christmas Chatter wheel.  Here’s the card I came up with.  ho-ho-ho

After I wheeled the back ground I made sure the wheel was all inked then I colored just the words ho ho ho with the chocolate chip maker.  Then I rolled it on the vanilla card-stock and punched it out with the large oval punch.  I used the tag punch behind it.   I used the blender pen and touched it to the markers to color the Santa.  I used the white water color wonder crayon for his beard and fur.  I think it turned out cute.  I like how I could highlight just one sentence from the roller to use as my saying on my card.

I love to have new ornaments for my tree, but I can’t always afford to by them.  I actually love to make them.  I made these fun Rudolph Ornaments for my tree last year.  They were quick and easy and didn’t cost a lot to make.  roudolph-ornament

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is made with all punches.  I used: large oval, word window, five petal flower, horizontal slot, double circle and  1″ circle.  I used the coluzzle for the background circle.  His nose is made with a rhinestone circle brad.  Then a little ribbon for the holder and a bow at the neck.  I got the idea from a card that someone had posted on the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator web site last year.  They had it on a card.  If I can find my card I will post it for you as well.
