Bloomin' Marvelous

This card was made from one of Stampin' Up's sale-a-bration sets called Bloomin' Marvelous. This is just one of the items you can pick for FREE when you place an order of $50 (before tax and shipping) until March 22, 2013. You get to pick a free item for every $50 spent and there is no limit to the number of items you can receive.

Did you notice the embossing in the background.  That was created with the Vine Street Embossing Folder which is also one of the items you can receive Free!

If you haven't placed your Sale-a-bration order yet, just click on the Shop Now button on the left hand side of my blog.  It will take you to my online store.  If you have any questions about Sale-a-bration or would like to set up a workshop to earn even more free stuff, just give me a call or send me an email.  Don't put it off, Sale-a-bration ends on March 22.

Now as I said yesterday, I was going to share some of the other promotions going on at Stampin' Up right now. So  here it is.

Best of 25 Years Stamps

As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we're bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image! Check back here every month to download a flyer for a new Best of stamp set, and be sure to share it with your customers.

Some things to remember:

• All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95.
• While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month), all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
• A new flyer will be released every month for each new Best of set.
• All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only.
While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month, all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, we're including a collector's card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.

Cardstock Shadow Box

Stampin' Up has been offering a lot of promotions and new programs lately, with more to come.  If you have been at my Stamp Clubs then I have kept you informed of these promotions. If you haven't, then I'm going to feature a different promotion or program this week on my blog. 

BUT FIRST, a project! If you are like me you hate going to a blog only to find a bunch of advertising of the lastest specials, and no projects.  Now I believe you need to be informed of promotions, but I'm sure you would also like to see a project.  So without further ado, here's a project for you (and if you would like to hear about a special Stampin' Up is offering, then keep scrolling down).

 

 

I wish I was better at taking pictures, because this is a really cool project.  The shadow box itself is made from cardstock.  By making your own shadow box, you can divide the shadow box anyway you would like.  How fun is that?

This project is full of new product from the Stampin' Up Spring Catalog and FREE PRODUCT that I have earned from Sale-a-Bration.  I've used the All Dressed Up framelits, the Bitty Butterfly punch, the Pop Up Posies Designer Kit, Flower Trim, Tea for Two Designer Series Paper and the Small Scallop die.  Then from Sale-a-bration, I used the Ribbon and Button Pack, and the stamp from Vintage Verses.  That's a lot of stuff!

Now on to our promotion information.  The first one I'm going to talk about is the Single Stamp program.  The original program ended the first of January, but the program was so well received that Stampin' Up has released 10 Never Seen Before Single Stamps.

To view the stamps click on the links below:

Single Stamps: Assortment 3

Single Stamps: Assortment 4

Here are the Details:

• These stamps are available on any order type-customer, demonstrator, workshop, or online.
• You can find the stamp item numbers on the flyers.
• Single stamps can be ordered in the online store.
• These won't be sent in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
• This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
• The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyer.
• There's no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
• These stamps are only available through March 31, 2013, so get them while you can!

You can also find this info by clicking on the Stampin' Up Specials tab at the top of my blog.

I know this was a long post and the next few will probably be also as I try to catch up on posting (in case you hadn't noticed, I haven't posted in a couple of months), but I promise they will be back to short and sweet in just a few days.

And if you have read all the way down to here, thanks for hanging in there.

And as always, thanks for looking,
Kim

Cards For My New Recruits

I've been blessed in the last month to receive two new recruits - one in my first level and one in my second level.  How exciting is that.  So I thought I would share the cards I have made for them.

I was practicing my watercoloring with Stampin' Up markers and blender pens a while back and here are a couple of the flowers I created.  I decided to go ahead and make them into cards for the new recruits.  I hope they like them.

I've used a lot of fun products from the new Stampin' Up Spring Catalog including the Secret Garden Stamp set and matching framelits and the new Oval Framelits.  If you haven't placed your order from the Spring Catalog, what are you waiting for?  You can click on the order button on the left hand side of the page and order directly from my online store or if you need some help, just give me a call or send me an email, I would be happy to help you out.

Thanks for looking,
Kim

Advent Calendar

Just a quick post! I found this project that I made last year as I was getting ready for our craft show. The tutorial for this project was created by Brenda Quintana. The boxes are just big enough for a small treat or note and will help your child count down the days until Christmas.


Thanks for looking,
Kim

Cards For Sale at Whitling's Whimsy

 

 

Here is another card that I made at my fall retreat.  I love using Stampin' Up embossing folders and this card uses several of them.

 

This will be one of the cards for sale at Whitling's Whimsy this week.  Whitling's Whimsy is a new tea shop here in Casey that sits right next to Casey's very own World's Largest Windchimes. Yep, the windchimes will be in the 2013 edition of the Guiness Book of World Records.  How cool is that.

 

So next time you are in our neck of the woods, stop and visit the windchimes, have a bite to eat at WW, and check out my cards for sale.

 

Thanks for looking,

Kim
