Today is the last day of this great sale. There are products on sale for up to 40% off. Also today, there is a 24 hour sale going on for select products. See the list here:
Let me recap some of the deals I think are great: The Big Shot Magnetic Platform will be 35% off on November 28th for 24 hours. The regular price is $40.00 and on that sale day will be $26.00. That’s a great deal for this must have. The Holly Berry punch, regularly $18.00 will be marked down all week to $10.80. The Stitched with Cheer project kit is also marked down all week from $24.00 to $14.40. This is really a great deal as you can make 18 cards for the holidays. You do need some additional supplies like ink, stamps and adhesive, but if you are local, I can provide them if we can get together to assemble the kit together. Stampin’ Up’s holiday card kits have been awesome in the past and this one is no exception. If you have ever wanted to try Paper Pumpkin, now is the time as there are a couple of kits (and some refills) being offered at 30% off. If you become a paper pumpkin subscriber I also provide additional materials to make some extra goodies with the kits. The Heart confetti border punch is also available all week for 30% off which is a must for Valentines’ projects.




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.
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




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)

Here is a card made with materials from the new Holiday Catalog which goes live on September 1st. The stamp set used is the Cookie Cutter set which comes with a matching punch. DSP from the new catalog Candy Cane Lane. Trinket and twine also from the catalog. Paper is Early Espresso and Real Red. This stamp set also has a bear, eskimo, santa, and moose/reindeer head that can all be punched out with the matching punch. When you buy the bundle, you save 10%. There is also a halloween stamp set called Cookie Cutter Halloween that has four figures you can also punch out with this punch.
