Snow Place CAS Cards

Here are a couple of CAS (Clean and Simple) Cards made with the Snow Place Framelits. These are just 2 of the 7 choices that can be made at the Stampin' Medley on Saturday, November 1st (see event details here). Contact me today to reserve your spot.

 

Here's another option for Saturday's event. It uses the retired set Pennant Parade and the retired Petite Pennants Punch.

Saturday, November 1st, 9:30am to 1:00pm.  Shoe box projects: kind of like a stamp-a-stack, but you pick the projects and stamp at your own pace (see all 7 options below). Single cards $2.00 each or do packs of 3 (of the same card) for $5.00. Includes envelopes, bring your own adhesive (let me know if you are a new stamper and don't have adhesive yet).   Please let me know if you are coming so I can have enough supplies prepared. Thanks!
 

Late Night Stampers Challenge 212 (Spring Sampler)

The Late Night Stampers Challenge this week is:  Celebrate St. Patrick's Day - make a card with green on it.

Here is my sample:

The shamrock is made using the heart stamp from Spring Sampler.  I just stamped three of them.  Then I used my Stampin' Write marker to draw a stem, color over the flowers on the hearts, and outline the hearts.  The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and the little burst on the Whisper White strip is from Pennant Parade.  The Designer Series Paper is from the Patterns Stack - Lucky Limeade.

Be sure to check out the samples from the rest of the design team and add your entry here.

 

Late Night Stampers and Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenges (Patterned Party)

I doubled up my challenges again this week.  I am on the design team for the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge (aka Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge) and I am a guest designer for the Late Night Stampers Challenge.  Since both challenges start on Monday, it's kind of fun to try to incorporate both challenges in one card.

Here's the Monday Lunchtime Sketch for this week.

Here's the Late Night Stampers Challenge:

Team Meeting (inc. savings jar and card)

My upline, Frances Wagner, held a team meeting this weekend and fortunately I was able to go.  We always have a great time at these meetings.  First, Frances went over some information to help us build our business and then we did a make and take.

2013 is Stampin' Up's 25th anniversary and Frances said it would be fun if we could go to convention that summer.  She made us these adorable jars so we could start saving.  She even gave us each a quarter to get us started!  Thanks Frances!

 Here are some close-ups so you can see the details.  The idea for this jar came from the founder of Stampin' Up, Shelli Gardner's blog.  Look at the great use of the baker's twine (both tied through the doily and under the pennant).  The Paper Doily die cut really sets off the rosette, which was made with the Designer Rosette Die.  The butterfly, cut with the Butterfly Embosslit, makes a wonderful embellishment for the pennant, which was punched with the Petite Pennants Punch.  The brad is one you can get for free during Sale-A-Bration.  Frances hand wrote Convention 2013 on the pennant, which was stamped with Pennant Parade.

This is the Make and Take that Frances prepared for us.  Isn't it cute?  The stamps are from Fresh Vintage, which you can get for free during Sale-A-Bration, and Friendly Phrases.  We also used the eyelet border punch, Calypso Coral 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon, oval punch, scallop oval punch and an Everyday Enchantment brad, which you can get for free during S-A-B.

Want to come to the meetings, stamp, and have a great time with some really nice women?  Join my team and you can!  And during Sale-A-Bration, the starter kit is on sale.  See all the details on the JOIN MY TEAM page.

Want to order the supplies to make these projects?  You can at my online store.  Or, if you're local to the Garner, Raleigh, Fuquay-Varina or Clayton, NC area come to one of my events and order them there.
