In honor of world card making day Oct. 1st I will be hosting an open house card buffet. These are some of the cards you can make. There are 12 in all and you can choose to make one or all of them. Cost is $2.00 each, or all 12 for $20.00. With a $50 order you get 4 free. If you live in the Orange County, CA area please leave a comment if you wish to attend and I will let you know the address.
Stampin Up is also running a five day special from Oct. 1-5 in honor of world card making day. There are several items that are up to 25% off. Here is the information on what’s on sale.
For the month of October, Stampin Up has another special. Buy 3 DSP’s and get one free. This is a great deal especially if you are making quite a few of the same card to send out to your friends and family. Here’s a list of the paper included
Also, don’t forget the Paper Pumpkin special. For first time subscribers, order the October kit by the 10th of the month and get the November kit free. This is a great time to try Paper Pumpkin.
Also don’t forget all the great items in the holiday catalog and the 2016-17 annual catalog.
Happy Crafting,
Darlene Seitz








Aren’t these adorable! They can be made with a sweater or a stretchy shirt. These were made from the sleeve. You can make two to three pumpkins from one sleeve. From the middle of the shirt you can make one big pumpkin. Cut the sleeve into two or three pieces. Sew the bottom with a gather stitch and gather, turn inside out to do this. Do the same at the top opening and gather but leave a hole at the top to stuff it. Stuff and pull all the way tight and then sew down the middle so the top indents some. Hot glue a stick in the middle, add some buttons and a bow with rope or whatever you want. Thanks to Debbie Martin for showing us how to do this today.





Wow, there is so much going on at Stampin Up that it’s hard to keep track of. Here’s the scoop. The new holiday catalog from Stampin Up is live today. Boy, is it great. Here are some cards I made with some of the new stamps, dies, paper and accessories. Don’t miss out, it’s never to early to start Christmas Cards. The catalog also has Halloween, fall/Thanksgiving and some sets you can use all year long. If you don’t have a copy, please contact me and I will send one out to you (that is if you don’t currently have a demonstrator)
