Holy cow! Today I stamped. Just stamped. Not for a workshop necessarily, I just sat down to make a birthday card for a wonderful friend and then I kept going! Believe it or not, I had yet to put ink on my new Time Well Spent stamp set. It will be a level 3 hostess set in the upcoming catalog, but it was a free gift to demonstrators from our founder Shelli! How fun? Not to be totally ungrateful, I figured I'd better use it!
Being as I haven't had the opportunities much lately to stamp, I'm going to spread out my THREE cards over the next few days. Ha ha is that cheating? But I know I am going to go help deliver another baby either tonight or tomorrow, I am finishing up my Christmas Cards(which turned out so stinkin cute - I'll post them here later), baking with the boys, 2 birthdays this weekend and then on Monday night I am hosting a Holiday Happiness Thank You party. Open to all my friends, customers, hostesses, and downline team members. Just a free night of stamping, hot chocolate and goodies. Instead of a gift exchange, I am collecting for a family who could really use a little extra this year.
Ok, back to the card. This one was showcased as an idea for demonstrators to use from the Stampin'Up! demo site. I tweaked it a little, but the idea is still the same.
The card base is Kraft cardstock and the sentiment is stamped in Chocolate Chip, then filled in with the VersaMarker and White Gel Pen. I accented the flowers with Regal Rose mini brads. A strip of Old Olive ribbon is wrapped around and tied in an off center knot. The main flower which is stamped on Regal Rose cardstock then cut out, was also stamped with Chocolate Chip, then highlighted with VersaMarker and White Gel Pen. It is also on dimentsionals. I stamped a smaller flower on Groovy Guava cardstock and cut it out, then layered it together with the small flower stamped on So Saffron, highlighted with the White Gel Pen, then placed in a Build A Brad! It really is quite an easy card!
I think I am going to treat my guests to this project on Monday night, it will also be a feature for my January workshops. If you would like some for yourself and are unable to attend any of my events, I will offer this as a prestamped kit or finshed card package.
Prestamped kits can be purchased in sets of 5 for $15 . This will include: All items stamped, and colored, plus any necessary prep work on my end (punching etc). You may have some cutting, but basically all you will need to do is assemble them. Includes envelopes and shipping to US addresses.
Finished cards can be purchased in sets of 5 for $25. They will be completed as above, and wrapped nicely in a cello bag. Includes envelopes and shipping to US addresses.
Until I can get the bugs worked out in my PayPal store widget, please just email me if you are interested.
