Lots of News

Whoa Baby! This has been a whirlwind of a month! It has passed by so quickly. I can't believe we are just two days away from December.

Besides the normal life stuff, working and classes, we had a family reunion early this month out of town. It's always great to see everyone and get caught up on the happenings with their lives. We welcomed our 4th grand daughter to the world on November 10th, at 3:15am. Missed a few hours of sleep but it was well worth it! She's perfectly gorgeous with a full head of dark hair. I have been spending a lot of time in the studio preparing for craft fairs and classes. My three sisters and I did our traditional Black Friday shopping marathon. This is always a day we look forward to. Sometimes we don't get much shopping done, but we always laugh a lot and enjoy our day together. Thanksgiving Dinner was shared with family & friends. This is my favorite Holiday. No pressure, just lots of food, family & fun! And here we are, about ready to turn the calendar to a new month!

I thought I'd better get you caught up on the happenings with Stampin' Up!

New Stampin' Trimmer

Oh my goodness ~ I've been using my New Stampin' Trimmer, and I think I'm in Heaven! This is absolutely the best paper trimmer I have ever used! Yes, I am biased, but it was definitely worth the wait, and is now available for you to order! There are so many great features, that I just had to share them with you ~

Features of the All-New Stampin’ Trimmer

• An extra-wide 6-1/4″ cutting base and an extended 14-1/2″ ruler
  • The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4″ (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements.
  • The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
  • The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts.
  • When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
  • The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16″ and grid lines that mark each quarter inch.
  • All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won’t wear off.
  • The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin’ Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
• A full 12″ cutting and scoring track
  • The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don’t have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you’re not using them.
  • The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12″ (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles.
  • The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport.
  • The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
• Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
  • The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
  • Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring.
  • The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you’re cutting.
  • The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
• Storage compartment under base
  • The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards.
  • Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you’ve stored.
• Product details: item 126889; $29.95

12 Weeks of Christmas Week #3

Week #3's project is a fun little Double Treat Pouch. This pouch is great because you can put a treat in the front pouch, and a little card or a gift card in the back pouch. These can easily be tucked in a stocking, hung on the Christmas tree, added to a gift basket, or given as the gift themselves.

Are you planning a Holiday party? Just imagine these setting around the table as your name place holders. Do you have a Shower or Birthday party coming up? These would make the perfect party favor.

These are super easy to make! I'm warning you though, they are kind of addicting! Since they can be made with just one sheet of 12x12 Designer Series Paper, they are fairly inexpensive as well.

If you would like to learn how to make this cute Double Treat Pouch, email me and I'll send you the pdf with step-by-step instructions.

Don't forget to check out out latest promotions. A free gift and Single Stamps! Click on the pictures below for more details ~

12 Weeks of Christmas Week #2

Better late than never....I hope. Here is project #2 of my 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. One more card that showcases a fun technique and another good way to use up some of those scraps!

The technique is a bit hard to see here in the photo. To add some shimmer to my stamped design, the pine tree image from the Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set, I simply used my Sponge Dauber and sponged some Frost White Shimmer Paint directly to the stamp. Then, I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to help me line the stamp up perfectly, before stamping over the previously stamped image. Clear as mud? Remember, if you would like the free tutorial for this project, just leave me a comment and I will email it to you. The tutorials for all 12 Weeks of Christmas Projects include the supplies used and step by step instructions.

Have you ever wished you could buy just one sentiment from a stamp set? Well, I'm happy to announce that Stampin' Up! is offering Individual Saying Stamps from three different stamp sets from now until January 2, 2013.




A Few Notes About This Offer ~

• These stamps are available in Clear Mount Only
• These stamps won't be sent to you in the typical clear case packaging. They will come in a cello bag. If you would like a clear case, they can be ordered. They come in packs of 4 for $5.95 #119105.
• Clear Mount Blocks are sold separately. Recommended block sizes are shown on the flyer.
• Orders can be placed online, or contact me. I'd be happy to assist you with any questions you have regarding this trial program.

Be sure to visit my website for information about all of the current promotions!
