June’s thank you gift to all the lovely ladies who shopped with me was a little 3D gift bag containing 2 teabags. It allowed me to continue with my quest to use Designer Series Paper as well to use some of the new products from the 2016 – 2017 Annual Catalog, and to show them off to my customers. If you joined in with my DSP paper share this month you will be able to make a whole bunch of these!
( Heads up ~ watch out for my ribbon share coming in August – you won’t want to miss out on that)
I made this card for an on-line swap back in late May and although it is a Father’s Day card the layout and colors can be used for a birthday card for a guy or change the colors out and it would work perfectly for a feminine card – and that is the beauty of the two stamp sets that I used for this card ~ Pop of Paradise and Thoughtful Banners because they have images and words that are really flexible.
When the 2016 ~ 2017 Annual Catalog came out one of the sets that sparked my imagination was Vertical Greetings, a set with 3 long skinny trees and 6 vertical greetings, I knew it would lend itself to some pretty and simple cards. So here is the first of what I hope will be many designs.
I have shared so many times how grateful I am to my customers and those in my team, I make a special point of trying to surprise and delight them with a card or a little 3D gift. Back in May I decided a practical gift was in order so each received one of these tiny note pads on a little ring.
I couple of weeks ago I posted about my Designer Series Paper Share – the first folks to sign up have now got their stacks of lovely paper ~ there is still time to join in ~ read on for more info!
So you might wonder what to do with a 6″ square of paper ? there is bunches of things – it goes such a long way…………
Running from July 7th thru 31st ~ for every $50 you spend on any of the yummy products from the Stampin’ Up! Catalog you will get a $5 coupon to spend on any order you place between August 2nd to 31st.!…. and there are no limits on how many coupons you can collect and redeem
Today the USA celebrates its independence from Great Britain, a time for family, friends, food (mainly BBQ’d) and the odd foaming peevo! Normally it would be a hot sunny July day here in North Texas, however we were woken up by huge thunderstorms and rain at about 5:30 this morning. It is a little after 10am now, although the rain has stopped it is still very overcast and most ‘unlovely’…… Typical bank holiday weather in my native UK in fact!
I have shared with you before that my Stampin’ Up! grandma is very active in inspiring her team of demonstrators. She lives in Arizona but a significant number of her team are here in North Texas. To stay in touch with us she periodically organises on-line events thru our group Facebook page. Last Thursday we had a ‘mystery stamp’ event.
I wanted to make a batch of birthday cards that would be great for children but not fall back on the usual pinks and blues, running thru all the lovely colors in the Stampin” Up! palette, I settled on Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight; and nothing is more birthday than balloons!
The new 2016 – 2017 Annual catalog has a wonderful selection of new Designer Series Paper (DSP) and like me, I know you would like to get your hands on all of them! Well, here is the perfect opportunity to do so without breaking the bank!
I am so thrilled to be offering this DSP share Continue reading
